Oddly enough they visited Tynecastle and Ibrox almost every year until national service ended, but only graced ER twice and never Parkhead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if it was a last gasp equaliser or winner but seem to recall it was a handball award so ridiculous even Rangers wouldn't have appealed for it. Equaliser. Then lost on penalties. No-one appealed it, it was far out the box and wasn't near his hand! @Shandon Par, it wouldn't be complete without your input. Were you still at Napier at the time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently his old man was a referee and equally fond of a funny handshake, Jock Stein said to him once after a typical Masonic goat shagging masterclass against Celtic.. "Aye, your dad would be proud of you the day son" I'm sure he had retired by then, you probably mean 1986. He was just a shit referee. Prior to the 1991 Final he'd gone into the dressing rooms and informed the players he'd be avoiding bringing his book out, which gave some of the players (I'm thinking of Luc Nijholt) freedom to kick everything that moved. He eventually only booked Nijholt in the second period of extra time, the only card in 120 minutes. Then he red carded 4 United players at Full Time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t yet mastered counting to four or whatever the entrance qualifications were for Napier. The funniest thing was seeing Andy Rhodes, father to a wee Pars fan, trying to look upset at not saving the last penalty. John “also a Par” Watson made a mess of his penalty too. Think I paused and rewatched the hilarious penalty award more than some of the stuff taped off Eurotrash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always had a sneaky suspicion Airdrie would have beaten Hibs in the Final. Here's the Hibs team in the Final: Burridge, Miller, Mitchell, Hunter, McIntyre, McLeod, Weir, Hamilton, Wright, Evans, McGinlay. Subs: Beaumont, Orr. Airdrie's semi-final team: Martin, Honor, Kidd, Balfour, Black, Lawrence, Stewart, Sandison, Conn, Watson, Coyle Subs: Jack, Kirkwood. so Brother Syme did Hibs a favour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 A bit pre-emptive, but it's getting close to the 10th anniversary of County's first entry to the big boys playground. A look back to the days of them winning more than 1-in-a-row and having a happy support. And a snap of a selection of the invited witnesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 58 years ago today... Wednesday 12th February 1964 Olympic Games qualifying, First Round, First Leg Great Britain 2-1 Greece at Stamford Bridge, London 4,175 Peter Buchanan of Queen's Park scored what proved the winner in the opening leg of the penultimate round of qualifying for Tokyo 1964. His team-mate Bill Neil also starred in defence. After taking the lead through Lawrence of Enfield on 38mins it was Buchanan who doubled Team GB's advantage 5mins later, and although Greece hit back just 2mins after HT, the hosts held-out to carry an important advantage into the return. Team GB lost that leg - played at the Olympiakos ground on April 8th - by a heavy score of 4-1, for an aggregate 5-3 defeat. Buchanan tied it up at 1-1, but 3 late goals carried Greece to victory. However it was then found the Greeks had fielded professionals. Whether from a corinthian spirit, financial considerations or the liklihood of getting thumped... Great Britain declined to take-up their tie, meaning Czechslovakia qualified by default - and ultimately won silver. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 ^^^ Think the outside right, W.Campbell (Distillery), is Billy Campbell who played for Dundee in mid-late 60’s then moved to Motherwell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 BBC and STV schedules for the 1980 Scottish Cup Final, back when coverage lasted the best part of the day. Cup Final Cavalcade. STV having the sense to schedule programmes that could be easily jettisoned in the event of extra time and/or a full blown barmy on the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 49 years ago today... Tuesday 13th February 1973 Intermediate international Scotland U23 1-2 England U23 at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock 6,000 Willie Ormond opened his career as national team manager with a narrow loss in Ayrshire on a park described as resembling "an alpine glacier". Jimmy Bone gave the hosts a lead on 25mins but strikes on 46mins and 51mins from Whymark and Barrowclough gave the visitors an ultimately winning lead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluearmyfaction Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 On 14/01/2022 at 15:54, Jacksgranda said: A rather battered copy of Third Lanark v East Stirling(shire) from 1963/64, only 'Shire's second ever season in the top flight, which like their first ended in relegation. They collected only 12 points, 2 of which they got at Cathkin that day. (Thirds won the return game.) Two more of their points came against the Dons at Firs Park. Those 12 points were 5 more than Thirds collected in their disastrous relegation season the following season. Despite all their trials and tribulations since - and they've had plenty - Shire have survived, albeit now plying their trade in the Lowland League, whereas Thirds disappeared 3 years later. I like the insinuation at the bottom of the page that there might be loads of bootleg Third Lanark pools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
