Domestic double and treble

[edit]

Teams that win the Scottish Cup can complete a domestic "double" by becoming Scottish league champions in the same season. Only three clubs have won both competitions in the same season. Rangers have completed the double on 18 occasions followed by Celtic on 15. Aberdeen achieved the feat once in 1984.

"Giant killers"

[edit]
A digital scoreboard displaying the elapsed time of a football match and the club crests of the competitors, with their respective scores below.
In 2008, Queen of the South defeated Aberdeen 4–3 to reach the final for the first time - a result that was regarded as a "surprise".

Some clubs become have been renowned for eliminating higher ranked clubs from the tournament despite being underdogs. Division Two club East Fife won the tournament in 1938 by defeating Division One club Kilmarnock which was regarded as a "shock". East Fife had already been known as "giant killers" by reaching the final in 1927 after eliminating three higher ranked clubs before the final. Only one other club from outside the top-tier of league football has won the competition; non-league Queen's Park defeated Celtic in the 1893 final. Seven other clubs have reached the final whilst competing outside the top-tier of league football but were defeated in the final: Dumbarton, Kilmarnock, Airdrieonians, Falkirk, Gretna, Queen of the South and Ross County.

In the rounds before the final, many shocks have occurred throughout the history of the tournament. In 1959, Dundee were eliminated by Highland League club Fraserburgh despite having seven Scottish international footballers in their squad.[1] A season later, Eyemouth United reached the quarter final stage of the tournament after defeating two higher league clubs. In 1967, Berwick Rangers eliminated defending champions Rangers in the first round.[2] Other results regarded as shocks include Stenhousemuir's win against Aberdeen in 1995[1] and Albion Rovers' defeat of Motherwell in 2013.[3]

Bainsford is a settlement in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. It lies in the Forth Valley, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Falkirk town centre and has a population of just over 3,200 people.

Bainsford developed as a settlement to house workers of the iron and steel industries in the Falkirk area during the Industrial Revolution. It lies on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal which served as a transport link for goods and materials of the industries.

Following the decline of heavy industry in the area during the 20th century, Bainsford is now mostly a residential suburb of Falkirk. The main northern arterial road into Falkirk town centre, the B902 road, passes through Bainsford. The A9 road bypasses Bainsford to the south.

History

[edit]

The bridge crossing the Forth and Clyde Canal at Bainsford was originally a bascule bridge. In 1905, the bascule bridge was replaced by a heavier swing bridge to accommodate the new tramway. This in turn was replaced by a non-opening road bridge.[5] Originally a separate village, Bainsford has now become part of the town of Falkirk.

Sports

[edit]

In 1880 Bainsford Bluebonnets cricket club founded a football team called 'Bainsford Britannia' but changed their name to East Stirlingshire F.C. in 1881, which has remained ever since.[6] The team played their home games at Merchiston Park, Bainsford.[7] In recent times the team played their home games at Firs Park in Falkirk but now ground share with Stenhousemuir F.C. at Ochilview Park after leaving their old stadium in 2008.

The police came and arrested him and his son, Norman put him in a mental hospital. In the past, he was a genius, going on Mastermind with his chosen subject World War Two. He had memorised nearly everything, except he forgot the name of the most famous battleship 'Bismarck'. Jack and Victor visited him in the hospital and he seemed fine to them. Ronnie explained that he had a dream that he was 10 years old and that he was on a beach. Jack and Victor believed this was reasonable and signed their friend out of the asylum.
Mrs Begg
(2003) A 'home help' worker. She is attractive and is employed to help out pensioners in the Craiglang area who have disabilities. In particular, Mrs Begg was Winston's home help, however, she was highly suspicious of Winston's sore leg. She believed that he was trying it on. She didn't seem to be happy with Winston. One day, some boys were playing football outside and Winston kicked the ball causing it to break Mrs Begg's nose. Mrs Begg didn't know it was Winston that did it, but shortly afterwards, she caught him in the bookies dancing. Winston pleaded her not to grass him in to the social services but she did. Jack, Victor and Winston then visit their widowed friend Bert Findlay and discover Mrs Begg in his bath. Mrs Begg went back to working for Winston, possibly to cover up what happened.
Bert Findlay
(2003) A friend of Jack and Victor's. He is depressed because his wife, Annie, has died. Jack and Victor being widowers themselves try to help their friend and prevent him from committing suicide. They feel that Bert has taken to their pep talk and has got his house back in order, but Jack fears that Bert is still going to do himself in since he answered the door holding a razor. It turns out that he was having an affair with home help worker Mrs Begg and was going to scrub her back.
Stewart Anderson
(2003) A Craiglang resident. Stewart is said by Jack and Victor to have been so depressed, he was an inch away from death. That was before Stewart starting taking an American drug for depression. Now, Stewart has the energy of a teenager. Stewart buys himself a new car and recommends the drugs to Jack and Victor. However, Stewart makes a point of drinking orange juice and no alcohol due to taking the drugs. As such, Jack and Victor find out the hard way, when they discover their skin tones have turned black as a side effect to drinking alcohol on top of the tablets.
Vince Gallagher
(2003) The local snack bar owner. He used to run the canteen at Yarrows where Winston worked, but he was unhygienic. He made a stew, which caused Winston and hundreds of other men to have food poisoning. Vince was sacked, but years later, Winston confronted him and saw that he was running a snack bar. Vince claimed that he had changed his ways but Winston does not trust him. Vince proves that he is a clean freak and the building site workers are satisfied with his food. At the same time, Navid is away in India for his brother's funeral and Jack and Victor are running the shop in his absence. Winston takes advantage of this and along with Jack and Victor, turns Navid's shop into a snack bar, distracting the workers from Vince. Vince took his revenge by sabotaging the soup causing the customers of Navid's shop to have diarrhoea. Winston then planted cockroaches on Vince's van, meaning that his food was contaminated by roaches. Vince broke down and drove his van through Navid's shop when the latter returned from India. Vince got out the van and is still at large...
Big Innes
(2004) A large man who is friendly with the Craiglang locals. He is so big, he drinks four pints at a time and eats cornflakes from a soup pot. When he lived in Craiglang, he did not stand for any nonsense from Neds and would sort them out. However, he moved away up north to Elgin. Recently, the Neds in Craiglang have become worse than ever. Jack decided to phone Innes up in Elgin and ask him if he could come down and sort out the Neds. Innes' wife agrees to let Innes go down, but makes Jack promise not to give him any Midori. Innes likes to drink Midori, but it has a strange effect on him. Jack lets Innes stay at his house and Innes sets to work. After two days of Innes' arrival, the neds never bother anyone again. Not for a while. Unfortunately, Isa unwittingly gives Innes a bottle of Midori causing him to go mental in the Clansman.
Kevin
(2004) A young supermarket worker. Kevin is in his early 20s and dislikes old people. He is cocky and is really a bully. One night he accidentally switched off a fridge, ruining a pile of dairy products. Kevin got in a state and feared he'd be sacked. Andy, an elderly worker, felt sorry for Kevin and took the fall for him. Kevin left Andy a line ever since. Recently, Winston had to take a job at FoodFare due to his excessive spending. Kevin hassles Winston from their first meeting. Andy offers Winston advice on how to beat Kevin, but Winston ignores Andy. Eventually Jack and Victor came into FoodFare as it was an emergency situation to take all the bottles of Midori away before Big Innes came. They succeeded but Kevin seeing the three old men insults him. By this time, Winston has had enough. He punches Kevin and quits his job.
Archie
(2004) A reclusive man. Despite being a friend of Jack and Victor, he hasn't set foot outside his house since the mid-1960s. His reason for this is that he was evacuated during the war to a farm and was comfortable with a peaceful life. When he returned to Craiglang, it was like New York to him. In 1966, he put his boot through his TV after England's victory in the world cup. Because of his reclusive lifestyle, the social services would visit him making sure he was alright for food, clothes and money. In 2004, his house was to be demolished so he came out his home for the first time in decades. Jack, Victor and the Craiglang locals welcomed him out and encouraged him not to shut himself in again without success.
John McDade
(2004) Victor's son. So far, John has had only one appearance on Still Game, but is regularly referred to. John lives in South Africa with his family. He doesn't keep in contact with his father much. This upsets Victor, because he misses his son. Victor is so annoyed with John, he sometimes refers to him as an "uncaring bastard". To try and get more attention from his son, Victor pretended he was ill. This news worried John so much that he flew over from South Africa to Craiglang to be at his father's side. John later discovered that Victor was only pretending to be ill and he was annoyed. Victor apologised, but pointed out to John that it was due to lack of contact. John understood he was on the wrong as well and they made up. At least for now.
Rena
(2005) The lady who work's in the cafe. Rena is a widow and she is having an affair with a man almost twice her age, Wullie. Wullie is a friend of Jack and Victor's. They believe it's good for Wullie that he's found love, but Isa believes that Rena is trying to kill Wullie in order to keep his house. For example, Rena has Wullie working hard for her and Isa thinks Wullie will end up dying from being overworked. Nobody believes Isa until Rena comes into Navid's and buys a bottle of white spirits, a box of matches and a packet of jammie dodgers. Even Navid believed that Rena was going to set a trap for Wullie and felt that Isa was not as crazy as he thought. That night, there is a storm. Wullie is on the roof of his house fixing the TV aerial when he slips and crashes through the greenhouse. Isa looks out her window and sees the police and an ambulance outside his house. She knocks on Jack and Victor's and asks them to come with her. However, it is revealed that Wullie has survived the fall, but Rena has died. Rena had heard the noise and came running down the stairs, but tripped and broke her neck.
Wullie Reid
(2005) A Craiglang pensioner. Wullie is friendly with Jack and Victor but is having a relationship with Rena, a woman half his age. He believes he is really in love, but Isa suspects that Rena means to kill Wullie. Jack and Victor think it's funny that Wullie is "shagging" Rena. One stormy night, Wullie is on the room fixing the TV aerial for Rena when he slips and falls off the roof. He ended up crashing through the greenhouse. Miraculously he survived, but Rena heard the noise, and fell down the stairs breaking her neck. Wullie is devastated at her death, but fancies the female paramedic.
Davie
(2005) A bus driver for Dial-a-Bus. Although Davie appears to be friendly and helpful, he suffers from manic depression. This is due to his mother not being well. His mother's illness means that she only eats doughnuts from Greggs and causes her to be cranky with her son. Despite this, Davie determines to work hard and doesn't charge the pensioners for the fares. Jack and Victor get used to this service. One day, he returns to work very quickly after being off with his depression. Because Isa had doughnuts from Greggs, the sight of this causes Davie to have a mental breakdown and he terrorises the passengers. He stops when he nearly ran over Boaby riding his bike. The passengers attempted to shut him out the bus but let him in when he promises to take them to a pub. He explains his sad story and Jack, Victor, Isa and Boaby forgive him.
Thomas
(2005) Winston's other grandson. Thomas is a ned, who causes trouble for his parents. His mother, Margaret, warned him that if he didn't behave, he wouldn't be coming on holiday with them. This ended up happening and Thomas had to stay with Winston, while his parents were away. Winston was cross and was determined to straighten out Thomas. However, Thomas smuggled in a girl, a cannabis plant disguised as a tomato plant and his friends. His friends made cookies containing cannabis, making Winston believe they killed his tomato plant. They even ate Winstons pies that were meant to be for his dinner. Winston was very annoyed and was going to grass on Thomas until he ate the cookies. Winston got stoned and Thomas was off the hook.
Chris Howden
(2005) A property developer. Chris had made plans to demolish the Clansman. This news upset Boaby and the regulars. Even Navid was concerned because if the only pub in town was to close, his shop would be next. Jack, Victor and Winston made a protest, but it didn't go well. Chris offered to buy them a drink, which they accepted. Chris explained that he wanted to demolish the Clansman in order to recreate the houses that used to stand there. This is because his mother was brought up in one of these houses. However, he reveals that his mother's name was Jenny Turnbull, a woman who Jack, Victor and Winston had sexual relationships with. This meant that one of them could be Chris' father. They are worried that their families would be disgusted, but Boaby believes that this could save the pub, since no one would demolish their father's favourite pub. None of the men are successful in finding out but it is Isa who susses it out when she sees an old photo of Winston's that she took. Isa worked out that Pete 'the Jakey' was missing from the photo and he must have had sex with Jenny. Furthermore, Pete has a letter from Jenny proving he is the father of Chris. Chris decides to keep the pub, but renames it 'Jennys' in honour of his mother.
Molly Drummond
(2006) The sister of Frances, Tam’s wife and therefore Tam’s sister in-law. Molly lives in Finport, on the coast and came to Craiglang to visit her sister. Molly didn’t manage to make it to Tam and Frances’ wedding. In the past, Molly was a famous singer and was recognised by Jack. Tam claims that Frank Sinatra bought her a drink when she performed in New York, although this is probably a lie in order to get a free round from Boaby. Tam discovered that Molly was just as tight fisted as he is. Tam thought this was a turn on saying as Frances disapproves of his stinginess. Because Frances is busy at the library, Tam has to show Molly around Craiglang. Eventually, Tam decides to lay his feeling for Molly to rest since he is already married and rejects her: Molly is upset and grabs Tam's balls.
