Cumbernauld

So if your lawyer tells you it takes 10 weeks, it takes 10 weeks, right? So I've sold one...

last week at which took 16 weeks to sell in Cumbernauld right a flat Cumbernauld because the guy just humbled along because he wasn't under any pressure because no one told him he could do it in X and that ties back sorry to labor on but all the adverts that say are you going bankrupt I can get your money in 24 hours and you go Can you prove that? Because actually, if that lawyer is not at 24 hours, it doesn't matter.

And I suppose back to your chip on your shoulder issue, that's the kind of stuff that really annoys me.

That's

But I've not got a graphic for that, but no worries.

Well, first of all, I'll start with Cumbernauld Colts.

Great job.

They're doing very well.

I've told you how my Saturday went.

just for

everybody listening i like my running yesterday morning i made a mess going to meet my mate today something so i thought i'm going to go and run in the treadmill in the garage and i'm going to go and give myself a doing little did i know that i would fall off the back of the treadmill get my foot stuck between the treadmill and the wall smash my knee up and pull my hamstrings so my head's been a wee bit away with yesterday i didn't really check too much But that's the type of draw Cumbernauld will be looking for, that they can progress.

Excuse me.

Difficult, difficult, difficult, difficult.

Stephen from Cumbernauld says, is the mystery sound a steam locomotive waiting to leave a platform or siding? It's not, but that's what I thought it

was.

Yeah, it's a good one.

And it's interesting, actually, how with the Scottish New Towns, the shopping centre has sort of become emblematic of the kind of spirit of the town in the different places.

You think of like Cumbernauld, where it was built as a sort of a huge megastructure, and the shopping centre was sort of this entire multi-level landscape in the middle.

And then you go to Irvine, and there the shopping centre is quite small, but it's enclosed, and it's also a bridge.

It also crosses over... a watercourse.

think that's true.

I think it's a tale of its resilience.

And I do also think of Cumbernauld, which you've touched on here, as as an example of being at the kind of heart of this extraordinary battle between conservation and demolition.

And what do we do with these places when perhaps, you know, X number of years later, what are we on, 60-ish years later, some of the building part of it is no longer fit for purpose, but it still functions as a really important part of the town, somewhere people can go and gather and sit.

But I kept it because I knew I definitely wanted to discuss it.

So the headline reads, Cumbernauld sewer flooding leaves smelly Pringles tube-sized jobby on path.

So, as I said to you before we started recording, normally a story about a burst sewage pipe would make onto the pod.

I mean, people might be listening to this thinking, well, you know, heard a lot of other stories.

But, yeah, the sentence Pringles tube-sized jobby, eh, I just had to get it.

So the issue is said to have been reported to Scottish Water after a pipe burst spewing raw sewage onto the path behind John Pellier Gardens.

So sewer flooding in Cumbernauld has left a, quotation marks, monster quiche.

Compared to the size of a Pringles tube on a popular path for walkers.

I mean, I might have called it, what, five games involving Highland League teams did go ahead, but, well, one of them started and then didn't finish and another one was called off.

All right, well, the biggest takeaway from this is people, to me, and I say this slightly tongue-in-cheek, but people that say that AstroTurf, you know, is the cure of all football's ills and, you know, you never get a game off on AstroTurf and, you know, it can be a monsoon and you'll get a game played on AstroTurf, they would have needed to have seen Broadwood on Saturday because Banksidee against Cumbernauld Colts abandoned with about 12 minutes to go due to a waterlogged pitch and Paul Lawson said afterwards that even before the game with the rain there was an area of the park where there was water lying and he was like they should have upped Bode's particularly well and then when the downpour came on in the second half with a score of 3-2 to Cumbernauld, it was game off.

Eventually, although I was told the referee initially said it was abandoned and teams were inside, players in the shower, and then he was like, oh, well, it's maybe...

Clearing up, I'll give it five more minutes.

So Cumbernauld, understandably, because they were in front and they were against ten men, I think were out kind of desperately trying to sweep the water off, but it still wasn't a playable result.

Imagine having

to put your kit back on.

Ten minutes to go, I can see where Banks' deal will be coming from in terms of they feel they can probably get back into it.

Cumbernauld Colts will be wanting to get through.

But if they beat them once, they can beat them again.

That's the way I look at it.

And I think it was, Stirling didn't score until 10 minutes to go, so it wasn't like a smashing gap.

I think Renfrew were... reasonably comfortable although i did see a couple of videos and again we'll talk a bit about the conditions the sideways rain you know um it was one video whatever these nobody's even watching the game because they're all just standing sideways to try and get away through the rain um but massive congratulations to jimmy uh and ryan and the guys at renfrew it's a real outstanding result for them and uh they now play the winner of cumbernail colts v banks of d so It's a real opportunity.

Hopefully Cumbernauld Colts can beat Bank City and then we'll get a great, we'll guarantee the Lowland League West team in the fourth round.

But both of those, both Jimmy at Renfrew and of course John at Cumbernauld Colts will both be looking at potential money spinning in the fourth round.
