Don't know if this is the same game you're talking about - but I can remember (think it was 1983 / 84) we where playing Thistle in a Scottish Cup game & the floodlights failed, which in turn led to a mini pitch invasion & lots of scrapping on the terracing, think there where at least 1 replay & then we got hammered at Firhill As I say it was a long time ago (I was still in my teens) so some of the above points could be a load of bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Policeman told me to get back into the terracing. I replied "After you". The bugger pushed me back into the melee.Only a youth at the time and was terrified. I think that was the by far the worst trouble I've seen at or around a Clyde match. Absolutely mental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hearing over 100 names for the recent 200 fund raiser. Great way to support the club if your unable to make games or regularly. Chance of winning a very good cash prize aswell. Win/Win situation. Cmon guys lets push this and get us out this flaming league with the backing of clyde supporters as oppose to businessmen who pop in then disappear just as quick.

Foreva n eva Certainly is a great idea and some pay back with chance of winning a good prize pot But just seen that the if you want to sponsor a player shirt it's 150 quid Think the club have to watch here for me and only an opinion they are starting to rip the piss out if the fans How about they get off their arses and bring in some external money if they can't then get some guys on the board that can ( rant over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC, think you'll find it was big Shug the groundsman Thing about that cup tie, Thistle and Clyde were both in the old 1st Division, but they'd a really strong team. Donald Park was in the form of his life. The first game at Firhill, it got to 1-1, and at some stage Thistle got a penalty. IIRC Kenny Watson took it, Young saved it, the ref made him take it again and Young saved it again Towards the end, Mo Johnston made it 2-1, so we're thinkin that's that.....until Flex turns up in the last minute and makes it 2-2. Happy days The replay you're talkin about, Radio Clyde's Park & Sanderson were commentating, and Thistle dominated early. We stayed in it through effort more than anything else, but as it wore on Thistle ran out of ideas. They also had old Colin Jackson from Rangers playin CH who was out on his feet by extra time, and if anythin it looked like we'd sneak it, then the fuckin lights go out. Thing was, a few days later on the Saturday we had them again in the league at Shawfield, and lost 3-1. The bubble had burst and then the replay a few nights later at Shawfield we were on the sore end of 6 of the best It was similar to a game played about 3 or 4 years before that in the cup. We had Thistle at Firhill, they were in the Premier and we were in the old 2nd, so massive underdogs. We drew 2-2 up there, but lost 4-2 in the replay at Shawfield. But in the replay, Tommy O'Neill hit this rocket from 25 yards top corner. I think Rough just seen it last week, never mind got to it ! Still, we've handed them out a few spankings since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, we've handed them out a few spankings since then IIRC - the crowd was well over 5000 (bear in mind the early to mid 80's crowds where at an all time low) so that was viewed as a cracking crowd, what I remember most about the Shawfield game was that Thistle had an unusually large & rowdy support that night, mind you we had (not me as I was still in my teens) a good few lads that where well up for the scrap, as someone mentioned earlier it was pretty mental for a short time before plod stepped in. On that subject the first time I ever encountered football casuals was (I think a pre-season friendly) against the all conquering Aberdeen team (1983 I think) - was totally weird seeing all these well dressed lads who where more interested in a scrap than the fitba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So that was three or four Clyde/Thistle games within a month of which i attended with two different pals at two of the games each. One which is now a Man Utd??? season ticket holder and the other is a serious cricket fan, he goes to Lords!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Oatlands isn't far off now, new builds in Brigton, Ruglen's expanded......c'mon King y'auld shite, die ya b*****d And for the one millionth time for Sydney's benefit....IT'D BE KNOCKED DOON & REBUILT.
