    Their badge was on the programme...

    No players in the team though, which was...

    Rough (Partick Thistle), McGrain (Celtic), Whittaker (Partick Thistle), Jardine (Rangers), R McDonald (Celtic), Forsyth (Rangers), McLean (Rangers) – sub McNaughton (Queen’s Park), Dalglish (Celtic), Craig (Celtic), A MacDonald (Rangers) and Johnstone (Rangers). Unused substitute Somner (Partick Thistle).

    The Football League squad was: Corrigan (Manchester City), Clements (Man City), Peach (Southampton), Stanley (Chelsea), Watson (Man City), Wilkins (Chelsea), Francis (Birmingham), Channon (Southampton), Royle (Man City), Barnes (Man City), Owen (Man City) and Tueart (Man City). 

    There were so many Manchester City players due to that club being one of the few to have fulfilled all their fixtures. Also Manchester United and Liverpool players were preparing for the FA Cup Final the following weekend.

    The sides were bossed by the managers of England and Scotland at the time – Don Revie for The Football League and Willie Ormond for Glasgow FA. This game was Ormond’s last duty as manager prior to Ally Macleod assuming control of the national team. 

    Tueart scored the opening goal for the visitors, with Jardine equalising before Dalglish got the winner for Glasgow.

    Attendance was 28,380 on a Tuesday afternoon, I presume it was a holiday?

    Can't honestly remember if it was a holiday.

    Maybe the powers that be gave us plebs Monday and Tuesday off.

    Was at the game and all i can remember was the jolly folk songs being sung under the cover behind the goal and it being a totally meaningless match played in an old condemned stadium.

    Don't think the Scottish football authorities have really bought into the Royalty/football thingy after the Coronation Cup gig in the 1950s went tits up.

    Ah take it that the embarrassment that admins the wosfl account also does the sjfa account and maybe even still the St Anthony's account?

    We deserve better than this an individual for each account to run it properly and free for this bs woke virtue signalling this month it's all about rainbows and pride flags ffs it's Scottish non league football be lucky if 1 per cent of the audience give a hoot what you are babbling on about. 

    Not bad going from an account set up last Thursday.

    Not many on here would have an interest in the Wosfl and Stenhousemuir.

    lol

    The WoSFL management committee has proposed changes to the constitution including that all Premier Division clubs must work towards a SFA licence. Not acquiring one would lead to relegation.

    An obvious move forward for our top clubs.

    I'd expect at least 40 Wosfl teams to enter the big Scottish Cup by 2030.

    Not planning to, and going by what various people I've spoken to have said there might be a relative dearth of neutrals at this one.

    Absolutely no disrespect meant to Yoker, but on paper this one's got a certain air of inevitability about it that might well impact the attendance.

    Anything under 4-0 to Talbot would be a good day for Yoker.

    Just noticed this, club trying to resurrect a supporters club for away games, looking for people to commit.  Not any good for me as I am I’m Edinburgh, but could be a good initiative especially as a lot of the games are not too far to travel.

    Respect

    The idea of coming out of East Kilbride and Cumbernauld and trying to get back to Cowdenbeath after a night game by public transport is probably impossible.

    Two old dears sitting behind me on a bus.

    Terrible carry on that with that man breaking into the Queen's bedroom, says one.

    Aye, says the other, Philip must have been at the lavvy.

    5 weeks wages back then? Although I've read about Wembley clubs where members paid in for 2 years, so maybe not too onerous to get it gathered up.

    And every two years there would be a newspaper report about poor sods standing at the meeting point waiting on the no show bus or train that never came.

    Usually followed up by a court case a few months later on Willie or Jimmy who effed off with the funds.

    Agree, that is the next step which should be implemented immediately, but we know it won't happen, League Two clubs are terrified of the consequences so won't vote for it.

    Then a club 41 play-off, then two auto down, however that doesn't happen unless the next step is taken.

    Do you blame the SPFL clubs for being terrified?

    I'd really fear for the future of the likes of Albion Rovers should they end up in the Wosfl never mind the LL.

    To be expected in the circumstances.

    Club joins the junior (at the time) game with the stated aim of giving their youngsters a route to playing football at a good level. They get established and sign most of their players from outside the club in order to compete, alienating the existing academy in the process who don't see the clear route to the first team that was promised.

    Rossvale academy now clearly want to try it again but I wouldn't rule out this becoming very much a rinse and repeat job where the same thing eventually happens.

    Not sure how quickly the "give youth a chance" idea was ditched.

    Didn't they have a couple of ex internationalists playing with them at one point, years back.

    Not entirely true.

    Clydebank are seeking promotion. regardless of Talbot, or any other leading West club.  It had been the Bankies intention to join the Lowland League during its' formative years, as a stepping stone towards SPFL status. However, the club fell victim to some  questionable 'threats' about a loss of home ground access, if they did so, and withdrew their interest.

     

     

    Great wee story, Rab.

    Hurry back when you've won the league.

    lol
