The game in question was the League 2 match Edinburgh City v Berwick Rangers at Ainslie Park. I was there!

Bogbrush1903 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Did I hear right? The Guffball Globetrotters are playing a match in Edinburgh against Lyon next week!? Any Scot attending this match, or worse, taking their offspring, needs correctional therapy punishment in a Clockwork Orange style watching 100 hours of Scottish Football non-stop. I'm so pissed off that couldn't think of any other thread to vent my anger so, in-keeping with thread topic, here's Denis Law lining up for the Rest of the World at Wembley in 1963... There really should be a boycott and protest over this match in Edinburgh though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice or realise Baxter's involvement too! This match must've taken place after our 1-2 victory there at the same venue that same year. Baxter scored two in the 1-2 victory against the Auld Enemy, including a penalty (below), in which he claimed, it was the first penalty he had ever taken at any level of football. Despite his unfortunate club affiliations, I can't help but admire the panache Baxter displayed as a player.

Eednud Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Jim Baxter came on as a sub for the 2nd half. Just noticed another Scottish connection as the ref was Bobby Davidson.

Were subs usually a thing in matches of this type then? It obviously predates them being a feature in competitive fixtures by a while here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
