Nice to get new info.

Thanks for that info. I wonder if we'll see Gordon Strachan in the list again soon.

30,000 is the crowd given in the Official History book. Seems quite plausible for those days.

The "new" manager to be announced on Thursday, according to tonight's Times: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk:80/sport/mcnamara-in-the-frame-as-jags-set-to-name-new-boss-1.1100627 JM and a. n. other got interviewed.

Taking another look at the first photo, and looking at the tenements near the stadium, pretty much all of Garscube Road and Maryhill Road right down to Georges X were like that, as were all the side streets (Raeberry Street, Springbank Street etc.). In other words, there were probably 10 times more people living very near to Firhill than there are now. It's not really surprising that our crowds have fallen away over the years; in fact it could be argued that we've done well to still be pulling in a couple of thousand every other week!

There are some traits that are more typical of juveniles, I agree.

It was, if truth be told, dire. All I remember is one great dribbly run into the box by Erskine, after which all he had to do was get the ball on target, but it soared high into the sky like a big bird! Oh, and a couple of pieces of action for Scully, one a decent claw away of a shot/cross, the other a nervy moment where I couldn't decide if he let it go past the post or fluffed it. Excellent second half, though.

Tut tut. Look at 2nd post in the thread.... Dundeerheid!

Because the livin' is easy. Pretty relaxed working hours you're advocating there. Not exactly Japanese style.

These days I'm amazed by the number of Scots managers of clubs in England, a fair number doing quite well, thank you.

Not a lot to argue with there, except let's use "should aim for" instead of "must get/must survive".

Charlie West was one of my childhood heros, mostly because he usually played in the reserves, which is where I hung out when the "big team" was away from home. Always wondered what became of him. These days my memory is like that cheese with all the holes in it (what's it called again?), but I can't really recall Kilpatrick.

Ah, got it! Bids in.

He might get sent Tay jail.

I reckon that quite a number of us got introduced to under-age bevvying on the supporters' buses in times of old. I don't know who was usually drunker on the Whiteinch bus, the old guys down the front or the under-agers at the back.

Thanks for the link. Fair enough. If it continues, admin will correctly punish the perpetrators.

Well, that hopefully will put a dent in Raith Rovers' attack.

Great to see again.

Link to auction site?

Tade, anyone?

It would be nice to see Craig Nelson at Firhill again, so Brechin.

Another frontier to be overcome?
