The last time we won the Scottish cup we had an Irish manager, the trams were up and running and it was the year the balmoral clock was put up?

Sounds about right to me.

It's a sign.

Not quite, but close.

Edinburgh had trams, we had an Irish manager and it was the last time that he clock on the Balmoral (North British) stopped. :thumbsup:

Didn't the Yams get to keep them all when they won the First World War?

Why a sign- the trams aren't going to be finished this year

The prospect of trams was finished a while ago ;)

A sign that we'll win it in 2025 when the £1.5bn tram line from Haymarket to Shandwick Place finally opens :greengrin
