GrantB Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Anyone know when we last played at Central Park? By my reckoning our last 3 meetings have been at Firhill. Two good wins and a horrible 1-0 defeat in the cup. A 3-2 (AET) win in the B&Q cup. My one and only visit to the joys of Central Park. Apparently they have a serious ned problem up there. Heard a few stories of visiting having bother after games at Cowden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I've never been. I do remember seeing us playing them when I was a little nipper standing with my old man on the fringe of the shed, I only remember cause I was sure him calling them 'The Blue Brazil' was just a terrible dad joke for years after and was amazed when I found out it was true. Would it not be more accurate to refer to Brazil as "the Yellow Cowdenbeath"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there (also the only time I've gone there). That's going back a few years though is it not? Late eighties, early nineties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanarkjag Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 God I remember that cup game at Firhill. I wish I didn't. Seem to remember they were propping up the first division by a country mile. Was stood in the enclosure, just close enough to be screaming blue murder at the linesman who disallowed...was it two or three goals? Never offside Also getting a grand stand view of Don McVicars Penalty miss. Fairly sure it was Nicky Henderson that scored the Cowden goal from the spot that day as well.

Steven H Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) 1991. The season we won the First Division. We won the 1st Div in 1991 ? Fairly sure it was Nicky Henderson that scored the Cowden goal from the spot that day as well. Yup, then we signed him!

Tom Hosie Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 We won the 1st Div in 1991 ? Whoops. Season we won promotion from the First Division is what I meant to type but didn't for some strange reason. The way I partied the night we won promotion it could have been the World Cup we won not just drawn 0-0 with Forfar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ah the great Nicky Henderson. One of my favourite players during dark, dark days - one of my favourite Hendo moments was in a cup tie vs St Johnstone. Down 1 - 0, 87th minute same same old at McDiarmid, ball leathered up the wing and Nicky chases it....and chases it.....and chases it. Every Thistle fan is willing him on - and with about a yard to the byeline he gets it and puts in a perfect cross for Nipper Lawrence who hits it off the cross bar on the turn. That's the way I remember it....anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
