He was right pissed at having to travel to Perth as we had all hoped the game would, and should, have been in Glasgow. I remember being gutted at losing, but the fighting was something to behold and some of the best I have witnessed over the years. I was scared shitless mind. Also went to the final with a Celtic supporting friend and had a great day out. It was my first cup final experience and, foolishly believing I would be back soon with Killie. Unfortunately the horrendous decline had already begun, our league winning team was gradually breaking up and part time football beckoned. It was the same at Fir Park in the Quarter Final. My dad took me home at half time because of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 5 hours ago, Hawkeye the Gnu said: As far as I know Perth is still almost the same distance unless it’s moved How many Scottish cup semi finals have been played outwith Glasgow, before that and after? Not many. How many in Perth ffs? I seem to remember that the 82 semi final between Aberdeen and St Mirren was originally scheduled to be played at Muirton. I am not sure if there was an issue with the capacity or safety issues but it got moved to Celtic Park. The replay was at Dens though. Tynecastle was also a favourite venue in the 80s for semifinals that didn’t involve a Glasgow team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League cup semi between Raith & Airdrie was at McDiarmid in 94 1991 League Cup semi-final Dunfermline Vs Airdrie starring Davie Moyes was played at Tynecastle.. Is that John Watson with him? I actually sent Moyes a hand written letter in the late 1980s saying I was a member of the Davie Moyes Appreciation Society as a joke, as I randomly picked up when he was playing at Pittodrie. To give him his due, he replied with a long handwritten response, and from the day I received that letter I really did have an appreciation of Davie Moyes.

I can't remember an awful lot about that game, other than the fact United must have won as they played Motherwell in the final. If you want to talk about refereeing injustices, fast forward a few posts to the photo of Moyes and Watson re the 1991-92 league cup semi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 That’s awfully like fishermen’s hooks above. Clark scored from outside the box for United, Saints might have had a complaint that McKinnon was potentially standing offside but I dont want to spark another interfering with play debate. Ferguson's winner, the ball came to him from a Saints player, with another advancing off the goal line In any case, Inglis was standing in the net at the St. J equaliser, the myopic Perth eye was utilised that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that sticks in memory wasn't any of that. It was bowman using his arm (very obviously) to deflect the ball away from goal when it was on its way in. Should have been a penalty and a red. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember collecting Scottish fitba photo cards (was it from chewing gum or something like that?) back then when at school - Sorensen and Johansen were in my collection. I think there was another in Govan (or did he start at Morton and ended up in Govan, not sure). There was Örjan Persson but he came from United. Also Thorolf Beck from St Mirren to Rangers. Neither played for Morton though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
