I went to The Boys' Brigade as a kid at the local Methodist church. It wasn’t just games and keeping kids busy, it was about discipline, Christian manliness, respect, and learning how to carry yourself properly. I still remember marching round the streets on a Sunday behind the band, uniform on, church first, and that sense of pride and belonging. Their motto was “Sure and Stedfast” from Hebrews 6:19, and that summed it up well.
It was strongly Protestant in origin, tied closely to churches, especially Presbyterian, Methodist, and other nonconformist traditions. It even influenced later groups like The Scout Association, with the Scouts borrowing a lot from the same model. It taught lads duty, steadiness, faith, and character. Something worth bringing back properly.
Fellow Arabs,
At Tannadice on Sat 11th, please join us in a minute’s applause in the 8th minute in memory of Iona, the beloved daughter of my close friend Iain Stewart, who sadly passed away after a long illness.
RIP little terror Iona.
🕊️🧡🖤🧡

@liammarkie89@andycrichton6 So if some get seriously injured by one of the flares thrown , it's okay because a man on twitter couldn't show you another time?
@dens_83@alanftemple Took the words right out of my mouth. Stop pandering to the ugly sisters and the guaranteed 4 old firms , expand the league and teams might take a chance on youth players.
Also bringing back split gates might help level the financial playing field.
Our day trip will be Sun 6th April (a week later than normal due to Mothers day)
We will probably go for an easy stretch of the Tay . let me know before the end of the month if you would be interested in this trip?
Look forward to seeing you on the water.
