Good try Texaco Cup Final 1st leg? In those days in Scotland the home team changed their strip if there was a clash. My favourite strip is our diamond top with white shorts and black, red & white socks. I don't think we have had black socks since our reincarnation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith out right and Carrick on the left with Gallagher through the middle. Millar replaced Wedderburn just after half time. Felt it worked really well and we looked a lot more organised. Still not keen on McKay, dont think he offers much and was easily out jumped for their goal. Lost his man at a corner earlier in the game as well which luckily the Forfar player glanced past the post. We played better as a back 4 as well and McCann seemed much more comfortable in his natural left back position rather than left wing back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the socks but prefer shorts of a varying colour. The Red and Black socks this season kinda remind me of Rugby Union kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made me wonder how often the strips of the home team have featured for both teams, It shows how happy we were on return from Forfar that we could go back 40 years of memories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember my old man cursing at the TV when he refereed the 1974 World Cup Final. Did he not get the final over R H Davidson (Airdrie) ? Fond memories also of Big Derek and the recent report into head injuries in football made me think of his sad early departure. I missed the final which I think had been initially cancelled due to water logged pitch and I could not sneak another day off work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember my old man cursing at the TV when he refereed the 1974 World Cup Final. Not only did Taylor referee the World Cup final between West Germany v Holland in Germany he awarded Holland a penalty in the first minute! Mind you he later awarded West Germany a penalty too and they went on to win. My take on the Jarvie incident was that having seen the ball in the Keeper’s hands, Taylor must have turned his back and ran upfield expecting the ball to be kicked up there. Had he seen the incident the only possible decision was the keeper sent off and a penalty to Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
