DA Baracus Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Day of the Lords said: No, you're bang on. The First Division in the season we got to the Coca Cola Cup Final was as strong as f**k. I think we finished about 5th or something, but that squad would probably win the Championship now. Likewise the four teams that finished above us that season would all hold their own in the Premier. Dunfermline were a cracking outfit, great to watch and free-scoring as f**k, The DABs, much as it pains me to say it, still had the likes of Billy McKinlay, St Johnstone were building a side that would go on to establish itself comfortably in the Premier League and even Morton, although inconsistent, still rolled out a seemingly endless run of good young players. Maybe it is misty-eyed shite, but football just seemed a lot better then. IIRC that season ended with Dunfermline winning the title after a 1-0 win at Tannadice towards the end of the season, Morton and United fought out a 2-2 draw, with United scraping the play-off spot in which they would swap places with Partick. Ah, 95/96. Easily my favourite time watching the Pars, even though I was only 10 and 11 that season. That First Division was incredible strong. Us, both Dundee teams, Morton, St Johnstone, Clydebank, St Mirren, Airdrie and Hamilton; all had great players and strong squads. Look them up and you'll be surprised at just good all those teams were. Only Dumbarton were shit that season, but even then had some good players. Our games were often high scoring and my all time Pars XI has 6 players from this team, with Andy Smith only missing out because he never had a regular strike partner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played them at Dens quite early on i think, and iirc went 2-0 up, ended up losing 2-4, with one of the goals being a perfectly executed overhead kick. We also drew 4-4, despite being 4-2 up with 5 mins left, not sure if that was the same season though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big shout out to Michel Pageaud (sp?) Other game at Dens that season was 1-1. Jerry O'Driscoll scored a very later headed equaliser. You beat us 0-1 at East End. Guido Van De Kamp was knocked out and we had no sub goalie (this was the days of only 3 subs). Paul Smith went in goal and couldn't save the winning goal. I was at that one. The other game at East End was 1-1 but I have zero memory of it so must have missed it. I saw nearly every home game that season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit annoyed at that. Paid £60 earlier in the year for the service and already have a season ticket. Feels like wasted money. ETA: Get why they've done it of course and have no issue with others being able to watch it - Just £60 doon the drain was more the annoyance.

A double whammy Ludo because your season ticket isn’t worth anything now either. Realistically there is no chance this season will be completed. Try not to be annoyed though. I’m just looking at the fact I bought season tickets for me and the kids as me doing my bit to help the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Josh Meekings is the fastest player at the club going by the most recent data, according to James McPake. Reckons he’s getting back to his pre-injury fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
