Estragon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Rangers (deceased) fans showing admirable restraint to some extreme goading at the 1980 Scottish Cup final, goading that amounted to getting beat 1-0. Probably coming over to congratulate yet another trophy lift for #TB4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Kelly MSP, get onto that one then.... Maybe James Kelly was there in 1980. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 What sort of abysmal cretin wears an orange vest?! Bad enough to hide one under a tshirt or shirt, but to actually have it on full display in public?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After their promotion from the B Division in 46/47 they had never seriously been threatened with relegation and in the 5 years before their relegation in 75/76 they had finished 5th, 5th, 5th, 5th, 6th, they won the League Cup in 72/73 and got to the last 16 of the UEFA Cup in 71/72. Recovering from that relegation was a big enough job anyway, but the shenanigans at Dens Park since have just compounded their fall from grace. I always thought if they had come straight back up in 1976/77 things might have been different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee United survived narrowly and the clubs took very different paths in the following decade or so. The first match I ever saw was Dundee drawing 2-2 at Palmerston in division 1, then the middle tier. Soon after, we beat them 6-0 in the League Cup. It's strange to think they were making significant European progress just ten years before. So did The Dons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Scotland's first shirt sponsorship. I loved that strip so much as a kid that I bought it. I used to wear it around East Kilbride and naturally was often asked if I was a Hibs fan. People always looked perplexed when I said "Naw, Partick Thistle". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Marc Reiper and Brian Martin ready to contest a set piece at Fir Park in 1997, I think the other Motherwell player is either Owen Coyle or Willie Falconer, not 100% sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The spindly legs give it away as Coyle. I thought Motherwell's Pony strips were absolutely fantastic, even the half/half and quartered ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Dixie Deans, Billy McNeil and Kenny Dalglish celebrate a goal at Easter Road (cant make out the other Celtic player in the picture, possibly Harry Hood), Deans had an unbelievable scoring record v Hibernian, two cup final hat tricks against them as well.

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Not only a magic moment of photographic history, but a moment that brought us two now famous Scottish football catchphrases: 'Surely, unthinkable for the skipper to miss?'

Crawford Bridge Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Always liked that Hibs and Celtc never bothered with away strips when playing each other. When did the authorities decide this wasn't on anymore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
