Maybe my mind`s playing tricks on me but when I read this article yesterday I don`t remember it saying this would be a `Legends` event. In fact I thought it pointed out that, as it was being played over an international weekend, a few top players would be missing!
Does anyone recognise the Pars player in the pic with Joe Miller? Is it Norrie?

It`s not Norrie. Phil Bonnyman, perhaps?

Davie Irons did occur to me although the hairstyle didn`t look quite right. He was at the club between 1988 and 1991 though so that makes sense.

Professional players will never play in stuff like this anyone the money is not worth the risk for the club or the player

I looked out the programme for 90/91 and our squad was
1 Andy Rhodes
2 David Irons
3 Ray Sharp
4 Istvan Kozma
5 Ross Jack
6 Billy Davies
7 Stuart Rafferty
8 Eddie Cunnington
9 Scott Leitch
10 Ian Westwater
11 Paul Smith
12 David Moyes
We didn`t play Celtic that year though so the BBC has that wrong. It was 89/90 that we played them.

The Scottish Masters has been running for a few years now at Braehead which is pretty much soccer sixes but with 4 Premiership teams. “Legends” is a term that would be used very loosely when you look at some of the players in the lineups of the teams that have been playing. I’m sure it was free to air and wasn’t watched by many. I’m not sure how Premier sports think this will be a money spinner tbh.

One of the comments on the article on the BBC Sport website lists the previous venues -
`Comment by peasfrog at 05:30
The Kelvin Hall did not stage one single Tennents 6s. The venues were...
Coasters, Falkirk - 1 (1984)
Ingliston Showground, Edinburgh - 1 (85)
SECC, Glasgow - 8 (86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93)
Please change this.`
I suspect the original article was a bit of a dog`s breakfast and an attempt has subsequently been made to tidy it up.

“All 12 Scottish Premiership clubs will enter a team into a legends version of cult indoor tournament the Tennent`s Soccer Sixes later this year.”
The Scottish Masters was over 35’s. This sounds like it will be exactly the same although shown on Premier and consist of 12 Premiership “legends” teams rather than the 4 in Masters football. Last years tournament is still on IPlayer if you want to see what it will be like. It’s pretty rubbish and should be left to nostalgia imo.

Group stages will be played on Saturday, with the winner and runner-up from three regionalised groups of four teams progressing to the knockout stage along with the two best third-placed teams.
Being regionalised will mean they won`t have to travel too far once they`re all in Glasgow.

There were no major injuries through the previous soccer sixes run.
The closest it came was Steve Fulton while playing for Celtic eating too many compilatory hot dogs and getting a massive bellyache and not being able to play.

I did watch one Scottish Masters thing and it was terrible, there was a great big carpet they were playing on, and it ripped, then had to be partially repaired, particularly badly with gaffa tape. Looked terrible and didn`t look fit to play on

Did Joe Lewis not score from his own goal area?
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

Been watching some clips of Tennent Sixes and got me thinking of what a competitive Pars team could look like:
"Player eligibility will predominantly see former professionals aged 35 and over take part, while players under the age threshold must have been retired from football for at least three full seasons."
Most squads have 9 players, using the current eligibility rules I`ll have a go with the following:
Owain Fon Williams
Joe Cardle
Andy Geggan
Callum Morris
Josh Falkingham
Ryan Wallace
Michael Moffat
Graham Dorrans
Michael Paton
John 14:6

That team would do well, could imagine a few if them are still pretty fit
