tamthebam Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Edinburgh City v Arbroath, Pre-season friendly 2008. If I can find the original SD card I'll send the photos to @SimonLichtie 's archive.

Excuse me - I'll have you know Terry is an Arbroath man, born and bred who works in the town. It's not his fault he wasn't good enough to play for ourselves and had to move to one of the lesser Angus teams No hard feelings against him...... he's no Mark Peat/ Jay Stein In all seriousness I thought it was really nice to see Terry choose to play ourselves in his testimonial game as opposed to a 'big' team. He has a strong association with the town, and we're the only other senior club he's properly played for, so nice to see 15 hours ago, tamthebam said: Edinburgh City v Arbroath, Pre-season friendly 2008.

Thanks for that - much appreciated I'm currently missing the attendance, ref, Edin City manager and entire Edin City team for that game...... are you able to help at all? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketheheadlesschicken Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Eleven years ago today, Stirling Albion became the first team to beat The Rangers in a league game. Also memorable for the greatest challenge ever seen on a football park. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally caught up in it all and not even trying to hide his bias. "Come on Denis, come on Denis..." Was sometimes known to put his mic down and cheer Morton goals before picking it back up and resuming his commentary. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came from Cardiff RFC, which I think was the pitch at the back of Cardiff Arms Park. The remains of the old lights. The old lights are shown in this pic (nicked from t'internet) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our much loved golden retriever died, we considered replacing her with another golden retriever, this time a puppy. It would look the same, live in the same place and would soon be loved and admired just as much as its deceased predecessor. It would categorically not be the same entity though, no matter how much bullsh!t was concocted to the contrary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
