Spider Rico Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 So Tuesday night will be our first competitive game at Lesser Hampden since 98/99 where we finished with a 1-1 draw against Berwick. Main memories I have of our spell there that season: - Derek Carmichael going on a mad mid-season scoring run - Drawing with Clachnacuddin in the Scottish Cup to set up the famous replay - Awful journalist Gordon Parks featuring for us - Paul Martin clearing the tenements on Somerville Drive with a penalty (our fourth missed penalty in a row I think) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was that age where yer just going with your school pals and full of nonsense. The club shop in a garden shed. Mind buying the original Irn Bru shirt from there. First goal there that season was the the keeper blasting it off Scott Edgar, I think. Clach game being postponed about twenty times. Their keeper had an unbelievable save from a David Alexander penalty to take it to a replay if my memory serves? Seem to remember an absolute monsoon at a game as well and huddling under the pavilion. Also remember a Berwick cup game being absolutely baltic. Think the aforementioned Gordon Parks might have scored. The 4-2 game against County at Hampden before we moved that season was a classic. 2-0 down and on for a pumping. They were one of the stronger Third Division champions of the era as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see footage of that. Derek McGill appearing briefly and then moving to Port Vale. Used to get the team news and any obscure additions to the squad on a Friday night on Teletext. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Probably worth mentioning the cup replay away at Clachnacuddin where @Hampden Diehard missed the winner because he was still rolling around in the mud celebrating the equaliser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hard to promote something when we can't really go Tonto on selling tickets. A bit of a shame, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 The area behind the goal at Somerville drive is pretty substantial. You’d think a decent sized stand in time would/could go there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 That game went exactly to plan; a few goals for Paton, and a comfortable victory. More of the same on Saturday please! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonSpider99 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 A really professional performance from QP with a score line that shows it. I felt 5 goals didn’t flatter us and Paton should probably have got a fifth. I’ll let him off with it, given he got the four though. Hopefully a brilliant confidence boost to him and the others. Shoutout to Turner as well, he showed glimpses that he can be an excellent player and spearhead attacking movements. Cammy Bruce had an absolutely storming game, he played a part in some excellent attacking moves with incisive 1-2’s & crosses. I wouldn’t be opposed to starting him as our LB. I’m not overly convinced on Longridge/Bruce at RB and I fear that’s be found out against higher level opposition but credit to both, each put an excellent shift in. Brilliant to see some of the younger guys getting time as well. Healy had a brilliant impact when he came on and I can’t wait to see more of him this year. Interestingly I note that Veldman brought in McLeish. I thought this might’ve been the game for Williamson to come on in the second half, I wonder what this tells us about his role moving forward. I think for both SW and LM game-time is now key and I’d be sending one out on loan at L2/1 level to get them match-fit. Fingers crossed we get a strong result against QoS on Saturday and we can move into the league season with some momentum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think a decent sized stand in time would/could go there. I completely agree with you on this. With a bit of innovation you might even account for the retaining wall in the build. Having recently visited Leipzig’s stadium which sits inside a hill, you enter at the top of the stand and move downstairs. Might limit construction costs further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Spider Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Well that was good fun, eh? Lot's of positives but how good is Cammy Bruce? This also sounds daft given Paton scored 4 - but I really liked the look of McLeish when he came on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
