Hello. We're new here. 👋

Wondering what devil's porridge is? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle coined the phrase to describe the explosive materials he saw munitions workers at H.M. Factory Gretna mixing in large pans. They were making cordite.

Please don't eat devil's porridge. 💥

1 of 4 #scotsfoundedfootball You know how I am not overly interested in stats and who won what? It is because I focus on how Football mirrored society. Scottish Combination spread because it was the right time. I want to come back to the Glasgow Charity Cup and to whom the Committee gave grants.
