GNU_Linux Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 In 1936 a team called Vale Ocoba from Dunbartonshire won the Scottish Qualifying Cup (North) beating Keith 4-2 aet in a 2nd replay. This picture might be the winning side. A film clip of the first game at Borough Brigs exists. https://movingimage.nls.uk/film/1465 Vale Ocoba (aka Vale Of Leven Old Church Old Boys association) are part of the lineage of three time Scottish Cup winners & founding SFA member Vale of Leven. Ocoba sprung up after Vale of Leven had been struck off from SFA & took part in Scottish Cup qualifying 31-38. Upon invitation to the Scottish Football Alliance the club adopted the name Vale Of Leven Football & Athletic Club. Alliance membership was short lived as the league was suspended due to travel restrictions caused by WWII thus the club joined the SJFA where it finds itself to this day as Vale Of Leven FC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IggyStooge Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 To give them the proper credit, my good lady friend sent me this from a Facebook page called 'Forth Valley Football Clubs in Pictures'. Doesn't look staged at all. Smile for the birdie, Alex. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being at a derby at ER and Brazil coming on as a substitute - to a huge mocking cheer by the Hearts fans. I actually felt sorry the guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, players are just ordinary young men - some just boys. These days, with social media, I don't know how they cope with some of the abuse they get.

I dont think he had scored for Celtic at that time. Obviously the inevitable happened! I think he might have been sent off too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was older? He was not a young guy coming on as a sub and having his confidence shattered? He was not 1 of 11 being singled out? It was his players that let him down? His team had been undeniably shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a nice story I found on google about a young boy cycling past the pitch at Troon and seeing Pele, Jairzinho and Garrincha kicking the ball about. Obviously due to the fact it was the 1960s he had no idea they were coming and he cycled over and got to speak to them. How surreal would that be to cycling through Troon and see the Brazil team playing on the football pitch https://www.thenational.scot/community/16330263.letters-how-times-have-changed-since-i-met-pele-in-troon/ The first ever international between the two teams took place on 25 June 1966, at Hampden. The WC warm up match finished 1-1. Edited April 26, 2019 by The Nightfly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, scored an open goal which he nearly missed two minutes after coming on, then decked Levein with a right hander a few minutes later, on-goal-sent off in barely five minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
