Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I'm retrospectively outraged that Kenny Dalglish gets the CAPS LOCK treatment but Kirkie Lawson has to make do with lower case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the guys tumbled down the roof he was going to break his own legs or neck - fair enough - but he was also going to wipe out one of the kids sitting 60 ft below. I’ve got the old MOTD videos from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and somewhere on there is a bit of footage from an English game where somebody actually fell through one of those roofs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves fan from the mid 80's, can't remember the opponents but bizzarely I remember it being a match involving them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmarnock also were promoted that day, as beating Stirling Albon 2 v 1 at home, meant Hamilton could no longer catch us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original 9 in a row. One and only time i was on the old Brockville pitch. Side effect of Celtic winning 9 in a row was almost collapse in crowd attendances across Scotland. Strange to think i’m only 14 months away from possibly seeing 9 in a row again for the third time in 45 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they weren't, Birmingham City won that day which meant United would have gone down regardless of the result against City, it's a good myth/bit of folklore for historians to peddle but factually inaccurate, although many reckon that was the moment that sort of sealed their fate in a piece of inevitability. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only remember that game because of Law, legend of Utd, scoring with a back heel in a City shirt and the ensuing riot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in remembering that the Man Utd v Man City game was actually abandoned and authorities decided the score would stand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a very good film on BT Sport recently about that season Man Utd were relegated, the referee took the sides off the pitch late on after fans piled on to the pitch, after police restored some kind of order they played out the remaining few minutes to a near deserted stadium by which time Birmingham City had won and Utd knew they were down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a riot? I remember the rest of it fairly vividly. That was Denis's second spell at City.

knee jerk reaction Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Brilliant thread, spent the last few days at work looking through it, but it's not really a realistic photographic history of Scottish football! loads of pictures of massive crowds and big games, not so many of teams doing rubbish is there? it takes about 60 pages into this before you realise celtic actually lost a game, where's the pics of Brockville with 1500 in it as clyde thump us, or st johnstone at muirton with more rows of terracing than fans, Dunfermline....etc etc. like I say still a brilliant thread , well worth looking through 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
