Flybhoy Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 A young Ronnie Glavin of Partick Thistle in 1973 who went on to have spells at Celtic and Barnsley, won a few Scotland caps, I vaguely remember him being caught up in some police related shenanigans over a sports shop he owned and something dodgy, can older posters remember this or am I going doolally? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 On 17/02/2023 at 02:02, Dundee Hibernian said: Finally, it wasn't until 1909 that goalkeepers had to wear a different coloured jersey from their team mates. What would you call the boots that they are wearing, cleats? Football studs as we know them didn't come along until the mid 1920s, I believe. The glaikit looking bloke in the front row does a fantastic impression of Mr. Spock, by the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember it he was charged with setting fire to a sports shop he owned - a suspected insurance job - but was found not guilty. Still, "there's no smoke...

That one on the left’s a funny-looking woman. Still would, like; I’m not prejudiced. Just a bit funny-looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Gudmundur Torfason was sent off for sticking his fingers up at Ayr United fans. He got booked for something else, then got a second yellow for sticking his fingers up at the fans in response to their reaction to his first booking, seconds after he had got it, with the referee still in attendance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early 50s, Celtic's average home attendance was less than double Queens'. It's more like 40-50 times as big now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad time when following your local team became much less popular, and following a successful team that matches your particular branch of Christianity began. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
