I still have nightmares about the 7-0 hosing Stirling Albion got there in 1998...., I left at four..... Only 'stadium' I know that has had a rake of money spent improving it but is considerably worse than it was previously, and that was pretty poor at that. Fucking abysmal place to watch football now, awful plastic pitch, crap views behind each goal and a shitey, horrendous gazebo stand that leaks every time it rains, fucking dump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Tom McAdam celebrates a goal against Dundee in 1979, congratulated by Bobby Lennox in front of a packed and delighted 'Jungle' in the background, on a day the old board probably listed the crowd as 16,000.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Scottish, so I wont add them, but Johann Cruyff and especially Jack Charlton were relaxed about been photographed with a fag. in their kit!! I met Kenny Burns when I was about 5 and shyly asked for an autograph. He acquiesced, so long as I held his pint and cigarette while he did it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Cup game, IIRC ETA: 12000 attendance according to AFC Heritage. Looks more imho. Edited August 21, 2020 by Jacksgranda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
