RUSTY1111 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Finally for now - exciting Glasgow Charity Cup action between Queen's Park and Third Lanark at the Exhibition Ground, aka Kelvingrove, aka Gilmorehill, in 1901. This impressive venue - holding 25,000 - staged a number of high profile games in 1901: Glasgow Charity Cup (May) SFs - Rangers 0-0 Celtic (replay: Rangers 0-1 Celtic), Third Lanark 1-0 Queen's Park Final - Third Lanark 0-0 Celtic (replay: Third Lanark 3-0 Celtic) Scottish Junior Cup (May) Final - Burnbank Athletic 2-0 Maryhill Glasgow Exhibition Cup (August-September) QFs - Third Lanark 3-1 Morton, Rangers 8-1 St Mirren, Celtic 1-0 Hibs, Hearts 2-1 Queen's Park SFs - Rangers 4-1 Third Lanark, Celtic 2-1 Hearts Final - Rangers 3-1 Celtic That's very interesting. I was at Kelvingrove earlier this year and there was an area mentioning the football parks at the Glasgow 1901 Exhibition but that's the first photo I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 7 hours ago, sergie's no1 fan said: No I totally get that. I was the same with the terracing behind the goal at Love St. Actually started off going to games in Carters Corner. Don't know if any away fans will know of or remember this bit of the ground. It was between the terracing/family stand and Main Stand. Great memories running along the bench as a youngster when the game was crap. Every home game there used to be a guy come in dressed in his work gear at about the 60 minute mark without fail. Amazing the tiny details you remember. I remember sitting in the wee uncovered seating next to the Main Stand at Love Street when visiting with Dunfermline. Is that the same bit? I'm not sure why we were in there but I think we were there two or three times? My dad used to always go into the stand and I'd go in beside him unless I had mates in the terracing and I remember Love Street as one of the grounds he'd often be able to blag a complimentary for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this normal then, or was it a QP thing? His shorts are different from those of the outfield players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with only being able to handle the ball inside the 18 yard box. Edit. Also note the 6-yard "box" markings...

RUSTY1111 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm sure around the turn of the 20th Century this was the norm in football. before goalkeeper jerseys were thought of. I'm sure I've read about this on Historical Football Kits. I could always email Dave Moor who runs the website to confirm if you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not - I just don't remember seeing the 'keeper dressed the same as outfield players in early pictures, before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSTY1111 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm sure in the game's infancy there weren't different goalkeeper shirts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assumed the idea of the goalkeeper wearing something different, went back further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the Sweeney photo. Goal should obviously not have stood as Alistair MacLeod had perfectly sprung our well drilled offside trap as the pic clearly shows.

RUSTY1111 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 If you visit the Brief History of Football Strips section on HFK you will find the answer. Note that different competitions introduced distinctive goalkeepers' tops at different points and there are some early team photos in which keepers are wearing different tops but not in the Football League. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Articles/History.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
