MEADOWXI Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Irvine Meadow XI When teams use to share grounds the 2nd team were often called after the groud and had XI or XV after name to indicate the code they played (Assoc football or Rugby football). Irvine Celtic played and owned Meadow Park. A 2nd team started there called Irvine Meadow XI. When Irvine Celtic folded the ground was taken over by Meadow. Since then it has solely been their ground so the team is named after the park, rather than the park after the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Blastie Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 What's the origin of the Blasties nickname mate? According to local hear-say..... The club nickname, The Blasties, derives from a Robert Burns poem, The Inventory, written in 1786. My furr-ahin 's a wordy beast, As e'er in tug or tow was traced. The fourth's a Highland Donald hastle, A damn'd red-wud Kilburnie blastie! Some people from Kilbirnie have different thoughts on this..........

My furr-ahin 's a wordy beast, As e'er in tug or tow was traced. The fourth's a Highland Donald hastle, A damn'd red-wud Kilburnie blastie! Some people from Kilbirnie have different thoughts on this..........[/ quote] What like the following ; :lol: Blackamber wrote: the answer is off course C the poem by Burns No convinced Many historical people and hysterical people alike have told us that. No surprising these Jolly Beggars and Raspberry Club folk think it,they are a wee bit daft aboot wee Rabbie,they think he's a legend or something and they kid on they understand whit he wrote..........when even Burns half pissed as usual didnae have a clue. The Burns boy visits St Brennan's fair at the Auld Kirk ( St Brennan found the site that Barony Old Parish Church/Auld Kirk sits.Which is why we have St Brennan's Court ) ,purchases a horse off a horsey person fae Baillieston Farm,buggers off back down county and after a swally or three writes a poem that includes a wee line aboot him visiting Kilburnie. And there you have it ,people that reside in the parish of Kilbirnie are now called Blasties -- well you cant count me oot of that if a Blastie means whit it says a Blastie means........... ...........A wee beastie,a louse,a shrivelled dwarf,it was a form of contempt. To be called a Blastie in yon days was no complimentary at all.Are the lovely people of Kilbirnie beasts is Ladeside's nickname The Beasties (it's no even the Blasties ffs ).It jolly beggars belief that that knowing what the name means it would be used the way people believe it is - it's hardly a term of endearment. A damn,d red - wud Kilburnie blastie - the clue is the damned.Burns was not much taken by the horse -- which begs the question.Why did the tube buy it in the first place ? Some folk might be happy to be called a blastie by this definition...not me...am off to the Glendale for a beer with a bunch of shrivelled dwarfs.......Still it's better than being a Beithite,Beithonian or a barsteward fae Beith.

Brig O'Lea Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 We were Neilston Victoria, playing at Brig O'Lea from 1898 until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. In 1945 as the end of the war was in sight, the club was restarted under the new name Neilston Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Beaver Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 where did the song eeka peeka pakka po originate from? It came from a fan back in the 70's who followed the Talbot, the guy had hearing and speaking difficulties but always tried to join in when the young fans started singing the football chant "we'll support you evermore" only thing was it came out "eeka peeka pakka po" so the instead of singing "we'll support you evermore" the young fans joined in with the guy and started singing "eeka peeka pukka po" along with him, somehow it stuck and has been the Talbot battle cry ever since.
