  1. The clue is in the names. In the days before pre-season friendlies the only game (open to the public) was the Big team v the Wee team trial match. When you look at some of those in the Wee team (Andy Kerr, Willie Crawford, George Smith, Alec Stott, Jimmy Walker) it makes me wish I was Marty McFly and could go "Back to the Future"!
  2. I'm sure the one in the middle is "Big" Bobby Gray - so I suggest a different 5-1 doing- 6/9/1969 - Dick, Reid, Gray, Smith, McKinnon, Hansen, McLindon, Flanagan, Glavin, O'Neill, DUNCAN (Sub. Bone)

    Not so. In fact as well educated people (Jags fans) know, the first European Cup game played in Glasgow was at Firhill in, I think, February 1956 when Swedish side Djuurgarden played their home game against Hibs - far too cold in Sweden at that time of year.
  4. Keep your eye on the Morton defender running in from the right of screen to kick the ball away. He obviously remembers last season - maybe thought the linesman hadn't seen it cross the line!
  5. That is how Firhill looked before the Shed arrived in the 1950's. The greyhounds were still operating and that white band along the bottom of the wall was so that punters in the main stand could see the dugs!
  6. What's all the excitement? 30 minutes after time-up the PTFC website has it at 0-0. Unreal!

    I think this thread should be re-named. How about "Going roon' and roon' in circles".
  8. All this talk of dogging school. My best was the League Cup Final replay on a Wednesday afternoon in October 1956 (no floodlights then) - mum gave me a letter the day before - I had to go to buy a new suit!
  9. Who do we want - but who will we get? I think most would like a "foreign" team (for interest), but I wouldn't be surprised if we get ICT away.
  10. "It's not unusual ………" Sorry - I'll get my coat.
  11. One thing I can not understand re this competition - why in this round (and the previous one) are Rangers U-21 games not being played on the scheduled weekend set aside for the ties to be played?
  12. If that's true then we'll have had the wee ?$"? twice already at home this season (2 out of 4). And we know what happened against Ayr. Does nobody at the SFA (suggested acronyms would be welcome) think about SENSIBLE referee allocation?
  13. Who knows - maybe Connah's Quay have international stars? Mibbes naw!
  14. John Robertson - in his post match comments on the BBC report he referred on a few occasions to "Thistle" and he didnae mean Inverness. There's only one Thistle!
  15. After hearing Scott Allison's interview, then should we perform on Saturday, why not him?

    Re the nae team bus aspect. I can remember under Bertie Auld's management I used to see the players (on match days) going to Firhill before 10.00 in the morning (even for home games). To have players making their own way to away games is frankly totally amateurish.
  17. Gonnae tell me whit that means?
  18. John Flannagan and Joe Harper, ? and ?, and 2 polis
