LoonsYouthTeam Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 That's Austin McPhee.Indeed it is, although not for a few years later, his former boss Cathro was also a youth player with Forfar, although neither came close to the first team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Academically Deficient said: I was there. Could it have been because there were a few other games called off that day? Accies had a good track record of getting games played in bad weather in those days. The crazy slope maybe helped drain off excess water. For some reason, they still seem to manage it Then again, I remember the anticipation all week leading up to the game, everone was excited about it. Then Aberdeen scored early and that was it. January 1979 was when Inverness Thistle and Falkirk broke the world record with 29 postponements! As a young lad in Inverness in those days I remember a succession of heavy cold winters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of only we'd known what was around the corner eh? (General Politics Thread for this pish etc.) Anyway, thankfully some far sighted clubs have chosen to mitigate against inclement Scottish weather by investing in high quality modern playing surfaces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) As I was intruding on LoonsYouthTeam's post, here's Station Park in the1957-58 Scottish Cup tie, Forfar v Rangers, which I think heralded the opening of the stand at the ground.

House Bartender Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 A touch of modernish history. Victoria Park on the final match day before leaping up to the dizzying heights of the top tier in Scottish Football.

Flybhoy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Jerron Nixon and Craig Brewster after Dundee United won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1994, Brewster's winning goal was comedy gold, even more so as the **** were the opposition, if you haven't seen it kids have a look on YouTube, a calamity defensive howler between Dave McPherson and Ally Maxwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that game in the old Student Union in Aberdeen. Funnily enough a fight broke out when Brewster scored between some miffed Rangers fans and some other guys who celebrated the goal. Someone I knew was involved- he was a Jambo but was not backing the Staunch side for shame... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gazebo on the left was for a Torridon concert after the game and trophy presentation . Uncle Roy even played on guitar at one point. We beat QotS 5-3 away the following Saturday. The builders moved in the next day IIRC to start building the all seater away stand and to replace the East Stand + Jailend terracing. That fine looking surface was also dug up for undersoil heating (the pitch was a disaster the next season) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bob Marley looking quite in awe of Dixie Deans Unsure if it's his magnificent mullet/tache combo or his penchant for Cup final hat tricks against Hibernian but the reggae legend looks starstruck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
