An interview with The Webmaster

So you are the Webmaster then? So you’ll know all about high tech?

Aye that’s right they are not bad trainers at all.

What pleases you most about the web-site?

I suppose having 33,000 hits is something to be proud about unless you are a British boxer after round one and it’s great to see people visiting from all over the world. Gosh we’ve had people from such far flung places as Pumpherston, or Broxburn as well as Azerbaijan.
I suppose the other thing is that I know most of the bamsticks that visit. It takes a lot of work looking after the site but I enjoy it and it keeps me out of the pub!

You are one half a double act of Boyles. There’s you and Gazza?

Och man he’s not real. Just keep him off the whisky and he’s fine but give him a whisky and a few chicken legs at a buffet and well…..in fact he’s like the Tasmanian Devil only 50 times slower, 50 times heavier and shouts Freeeeeedommm all night 50 times in everyone’s ears!
Gazza is off his rocker when he’s had a few but he’s well liked at TSTA HQ.

I hear you got home at 1.30 a.m. following the Ireland game?

Guilty as charged your honour. I blame The Boy Wonder and Gnasher, they made me drink all that port plus scoop all that beer. I reckon Big Stuff would have had trouble keeping up with us at the pace we were going. We left the TSTA flag in the pub but I was the one who decided I would just jump off the bus and go back for it a mile into the journey home.
Not one of my better decisions but at least I got back to finish off my pint and I got the flag back. I did leave my own flag on the bus though just for good measure!

Did you get slagged at the AGM?

Aye and I never got my £2.50 back for not getting the bus home!

Who is tallest, you or Big Stuff?

Me normally by a quarter of an inch (equivalent to The Vice Captain’s tadger) but if the Big Man’s been drinking he’ll probably be standing on one of his empties and thus he can appear bigger.

What game are you looking forward to most?

I’ve never even seen venison man and can you change the subject, I keep thinking back to when Bambi’s maw died. Geez a hankie would ye?. Oh right, a fitba’ game, it’s got to be the Germany match, we are going to have 50 there and it will be my laddie Dean’s debut for an away game with the troops. No port for me for that trip.
