Stelios Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Saints game highlights were on tv. I made my saints supporting pal watch Alan Preston’s volleyed own goal repeatedly. And watched Crawfords winners until the tape wore out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I recall Tom Carson in Jackie O’s looking resplendent in one of those dodgy shiny grey suits, with the sleeves rolled up and sporting his trademark mullet. He was sitting drinking Diamond White. Not sure why but that image has stuck with me. I wasn’t expecting to see him in Jacks. A definite cult figure at the Rovers. He played about half the games in the 92/93 season but like others the game I remember him for was the 3-3 draw with Motherwell at the end of our first season in the Premier League. That was his last game for us and it was a bit ropey, albeit against a very good Motherwell side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanElderRRFC Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 One of the softest penalty awards I’ve ever seen there, Hugh Dallas is lucky social media didn’t exist in 1993. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas bottled it. If he deemed it worthy of a penalty, surely he had to send Stevens off. And the authorities managed to redress the situation later in the season when all three officials claimed not to have seen a blatant head butt.

I was at that game. It was never a penalty which made it all the better. Rangers one was also really soft. Looking at the chances we could have won that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Is there any footage of the 3-0 home win over Hibs or the 3-3 draw with Motherwell? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 We played some great football in 93-94. Especially on the counter attack. Watching these videos has reminded me just how good Jason Dair was that season as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely footage of the Motherwell match on YouTube. Don't think I've ever seen footage of the Hibs match though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Hetherston goal for the equaliser! 26 years ago and 23 since we last graced the top flight. Would be good to get back there some day. That first season was so good.

Just a class act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d actually forgotten how good Silky was as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelios Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The 3-0 against Hibs in 1995 was midweek so only the goals were in Sky Sports News. We utterly annihilated them and only a superb performance from Jim Leighton kept it to single-figures. That plus beating Aberdeen at home were 2 of our all-time best performances as we destroyed 2 strong teams. We finished 6th that season although level on points with Hibs who were 5th. And we beat them 3 times! That first season up was great fun though, got thumped many an away trip but we played great football and there was no expectation we’d do anything other than go down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 One other thing I've noticed is how much bigger away supports were back then. Large supports at Starks there from the likes of Motherwell, St Johnstone, Partick and Kilmarnock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFC1989 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That's what the article infers.If he’s still got ambition to keep playing, i doubt he’ll give that up for coaching. And lets be honest, he’s not a premiership level forward now so i don’t see player coach as i realistic option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
