HibeeJibee Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Surprised more hasn't been made of this but 100 years ago today Raith Rovers sailed from Tilbury on the Nelson liner Highland Loch to tour the Canary Islands.

Eednud Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Scotland has only played once on this day, a 2-2 draw against Yugoslavia in Belo Horizonte in the Brazil Independence Cup. Lou Macari scored both for Scotland. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any pics or footage of that game so here’s one they did earlier. Wednesday 21 November 1956 Scotland 2 Yugoslavia 0 (att: 55,521) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Reading something about early Australia v New Zealand games and thought someone called George Campbell must have a Scottish connection. Turns out he was born in Ellon and emigrated to Dunedin. He was the brother of Robert Campbell who played for Queen’s Park, Celtic, Rangers, Kilmarnock and Ayr United. George Campbell was NZ’s first captain and scored hat-tricks in the 2nd and 3rd Tests of the 1923 Australia v NZ series to give NZ the ANZAC Ashes 2-1. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/nz-teams/129946732/meet-george-campbell--a-20th-century-chris-wood-and-first-transtasman-football-star https://www.friendsoffootballnz.com/2023/06/30/special-feature-the-forgotten-series-between-new-zealand-and-australia/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two would have been brilliant, two wee west of Scotland hard men, but the other two would have talked so much they would have got bored. From the photo, it looks tasty and would have resulted in 3 -4 red cards after VAR, but I bet the ref let them all off with a stern talking to. Common sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 First and perhaps, sort of, last. Edinburgh City's first appearance in the Scottish Youth Cup, a 1-0 win against East Fife at Bayview Park. Maybe a slight revenge for the scoreline East Fife 13 Edinburgh City 2 in 1937-38... This is likely to have been one of the last games played at East Fife's old ground. For the record Edinburgh City got stuffed by Dunfermline in the next round... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Pars seem to have a small history of handing out pumpings to Edinburgh City in the Scottish Cup, be it youth or 'senior' (i.e. the cup proper). I was at this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, Tam Nolan rattled a ball off Sammy the Tammy's arse which was quite funny. Just the five for Smith that day. I recall the crowd chanting for Ian Westwater to take the penalty (a tad condescending to the opposition!) but Smith did instead. Some home fans booed the team off at half time as we were only 3-1 up. Here's the teams from that day: DUNFERMLINE: Ian Westwater: Greg Shields, Colin Miller, Andy Tod, Dave Barnett, Harry Curran, Allan Moore, Craig Robertson (Ivo Den Bieman), Andy Smith (Paul McDonald), Hamish French (George Shaw), Stewart PetrieSUBS NOT USED:SCORERS: C Miller (3), Robertson (7), Smith (33, 61, 69, 73 pen.,78)YELLOW CARD: Den BiemanEDINBURGH CITY: A Mackintosh: Catterson, Somerville, Devine, Scott (Doig 66), Irving (Henderson 65), Foggo, Vaughan, N Erskine, P Nolan (Home 69), T NolanSUBS NOT USED:SCORERS: Foggo (17), Nolan (88)YELLOW CARD: Devine Edited July 3, 2023 by DA Baracus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
