Semi final at the old DP Enormodome. Accies retained the ashtray/bottle defeating Morton in the final at old terraced Love St. Might have been the game in which Morton's promising Alan Mahood (spelling ???) got badly crocked. I went for a few pints in Paisley afterwards. I only made that mistake one more time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 17 hours ago, Flybhoy said: Having a debate on clubs wearing change kits etc on Twitter and how often it was the home team who changed in instances of a clash up till the early 1980's, certainly ive seen plenty photos and footage of Celtic wearing change kits at Celtic Park in games v Morton, Kilmarnock, Ayr United, St Mirren and others... This picture of Andy Ritchie has sparked a bit of debate, I haven't been to Cappielow in about 20 years but I'm sure this picture is taken at Rugby Park meaning Kilmarnock are at home to Morton, not the other way round as a pal is suggesting, any older posters able to help here and possibly name the other players too? 5 hours ago, paul wright scores said: It's definitely Cappielow - Look at the dug outs and the fact the stand at the left hand side comes right to the front of the pitch. Ally Mauchlen was one of my favourite Killie players of the late 70s and early 80s and one of the hardest players I ever watched. Aye, it's Cappielow. Ally Mauchlen came to mind, but I thought he wasn't as tall as the player pictured. Killie had two or three red headed players around that time, one. I'm sure, a centre back. The Killie boys will know better, but I'm thinking that looked like Jim Clark. The Morton lad is David Hayes, I'm 99%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To use a popular pundit's euphemism, he was a "hard tackling" midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 You would have needed to have won the bloody thing if the money was going to last 7 years...There's no doubt Clyde were screwed and it's definitely a 'butterfly effect' moment.There's this argument that Coventry, Wimbledon etc missed out on European Football because of Liverpool.... however would they have won the cups they did if the circumstances were different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this is making me wonder if my former colleagues other fanciful stories were true. Maybe he did get off with Sheena Easton at the dancing? Perhaps he really did once play bass for the Goombay Dance band in their post-chart success period. But did he really invent 1970s dance craze "The Hucklebuck". Maybe it's time for me to be less suspicious of people... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough, I know that's the strip Aberdeen had when they first won the league under Fergie, 79/80 so knew I wasn't far off, that was the days when clubs kept a strip for three or four seasons... seems a lifetime away now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if you are thinking of Kenny Armstrong Jim Clark was another great player but didn't have red hair.

A few of us were in Glasgow that last Saturday and on a whim decided to go to Ibrox to see a potentially historic game. Took one look at the queue and canned it. Jumped on the Subway back to town and went record shopping. Home in time to see the scenes from Dens on the news. Yup. I went to that Dundee v United game and just paid at the gate. It was incredibly tense and I'm not even a United fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was downhill thereafter Clyde finished third, which is their highest ever league placing. Clyde did not qualify for Europe, however, because Rangers finished second and took the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup place.

It's just as well we ditched this 18 team nonsense for the successful set up we have today.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
