It pains me to say it's looking like our cherished auld arse thread is close to giving up the ghost, Ah well, suppose it gives credence to the old adage that "All good things must come to an end."
IF this is really its time, I want to pay my tribute to its inspirational founder Ray. RIP mate, long and ever missed. Good wishes and salutations to all you auld arses wherever you might now be. Thanks for the great memories, real love of the game and genuine, warm down-to-earth wit !
