Over the road the same day Dundee played in all white v a blue and white striped Rangers losing 1-5. Looks like you're right, here are a couple of pictures from the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 On 24/11/2020 at 11:02, bluearmyfaction said: The rule in England was the home team changed until the 1920s. Rugby kept the rule a lot longer, perhaps because there was sometimes no easy way to tell if there would be a clash. Until 1972 the rule in the FA Cup - no idea if it was the Scottish Cup as well - was that if there was a colour clash, then BOTH teams changed. Which was a bit daft. Two teams playing in blue might both have a change kit in yellow or white. So very often there were ad hoc third kits, sometimes borrowing one from a neighbouring club. It was the rule in Scotland until around that time too, that both changed in the event of a Scottish Cup clash. I recall a United v Aberdeen cup tie in 1971 where both changed, United all white and the Dons all blue. It was said that Aberdeen's change outfit was a nod to Chelsea, as the two clubs had a certain affinity for each other at one time. I think the AFC official website alludes to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 6 hours ago, Drewmc said: I remember being at many Celtic v Hibs games, including cup finals where both teams wore their traditional green and white strips without the referees and linesmen claiming it was impossible to tell the difference. If you want to know why football ends up with ridiculous things like teams not being allowed the same colour of shorts, watch the Champions League and Europa League draws. The people overseeing these are guys who have real power in the game but look like mannequins. When Infantino was doing these draws I just assumed he was some suave flunky who was rolled out for the cameras. I didnt realise for quite a while what his day job was and thought he probably spent most of his days polishing the Uefa silver (no euphemism intended). Can anyone really see those types telling referees it is a piece of bloody nonsense when they claim they can’t tell the difference between a maroon top and a crimson one? It isn’t as if these stupid rules on strip colours have improved refereeing standards. I think the reason for introduction of alternative kit was big clubs wanting to sell more replica shirts, rather than input from referees or officials. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from the construction of the Jerry Kerr L-shaped cantilever stand at Tannadice back in '61 - the (then incomplete) stand was apparently used before it had "namby pamby" things like stairs to climb up to it! Christ only knows what today's Health and Safety gurus would make of this ....... risk assessment? What's a risk assessment? Meant to add..... hardy folk these Dundonians..... nae wimps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the road the same day Dundee played in all white v a blue and white striped Rangers losing 1-5. Were the KO times staggered? Would 40k-ish fans from 4 different teams been allowed in the one street at the same time? I've seen a scan of the programme for the DU v Saints game and it says KO 3pm, can't confirm if the game at Dens was also 3pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain but think the Dundee game was at 3pm. Happened again in 67/8 United 5 Hearts 6 was an early 2pm kick-off and the Dundee game was 3.30 or possibly 4pm. Aim was to go to both games but police wouldn’t let fans up head towards Dens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Looking on YouTube at Maradona clips came across this one although he’s not in it. We had just defeated Chile 4-2 in Santiago. This game in Buenos Aires ended 1-1 Don Masson penalty and Daniel Passarella penalty equaliser for them. Willie Johnson was sent off for retaliation. Maradona is in this one from 1979 when Argentina won 3-1 at Hampden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
