I visualise Wilson Hoggan in it, so I'm thinking it would be in his 2nd spell with us whenever that was?

He came back from Dundee in 78, so same time frame.👍

Don't think it's Holt, think it's Mike Oliver.

I remember it too as it was the first time I had seen us play in anything other than a combination of Navy Blue, red and white. When I picture it I see "Joe McCallan" wearing it so I`m figuring around 77/78?

I would have been 12 then and I always mind a pal of mine got a Purple Hibs Bukta away top as a present even though he was a Falkirk supporter. Bukta had some cracking tops in they days.

Hark now hear, the Falkirk sing the Fifers ran away and we will fight forever more because of big John Hay.

Talking of old strips there was a good one in the George Miller manager debacle in the mid 70's 

white and blue verticle stripes tops, matt cherry red shorts and White socks. Remembers Johnny Graham (2nd spell) wearing it.

 

Was not as good second time round. How many have we said that about. Apart from Crunchie!

He did, if i mind right the day that Airdrie went into liquidation one of their players done the same thing at Brockville and hit a wee lassie in the face (nothing happened), recall a player getting sent off and I think we won 8- nil (just checked we did)

That incident happened a wee bit along from us (could have been me etc). Crunchie McAllister ran over and caught the wee girl before she fell off the advertsing board. Recall the police having to hold back a very angry dad after the player gave a wee wave as an "apology", shat it and ran away.

Watching the Soccer Aid game. The grass/sand doesn’t look clever 

Yeah I thought that too. The areas affected are roughly in the same sections on both sides. They are quite long, could be the areas where the lighting rigs are put. 

 

But grass is good, artificial bad according to the Premiership clubs

Superb lyrics, and how very grown up.

It was a song from the 1970’s, your continual fascination and visits to our thread is amusing, we are going to have a lot of fun with you this season.

Cammy Ballantyne left Airdrie as they did not offer him enough. Surely worth us easily outbidding little Airdrie. Good back up

He's a right back and can play left back. We are covered there with Yeats/Adams and McCann/Mackie. Unless the plan is to put Adams out on loan I can't see us signing another full back. Bit of chat on other threads that McMillan might be leaving Thistle and Ballantyne is the replacement. He's a decent player though, be a good addition for someone.
