topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hearts had a merger in their very, very early history as well.http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/pages/history The team did not compete for several months in the autumn of 1876, due to a shortage of players. However, Hearts were still members of the SFA and were included in the Scottish Cup, although the playing situation forced the club to withdraw after being drawn against Dunfermline FC. Many of the remaining men turned out for St Andrew's Football Club and by January 1877, Heart of Midlothian had re-emerged having absorbed St Andrew's and its players and having adopted a new strip of red, white and blue hoops. For season 1877-78, the shirts were dyed to the much loved maroon and coincidentally, the club gained its first honour when on 20 April 1878, city rivals, Hibernians, was defeated in the Fourth Replay of the Edinburgh FA Cup Final (now the East of Scotland Shield). The "maroons" defeated the "Irishmen" 3-2 at Powburn to become the champion club in the capital, with John Alexander scoring the winner late in the game. Captain, Tom Purdie, long remembered the occasion not only due to the result but because he was attacked by a mob of Hibs supporters on his way home.

According to the AFC Heritage an attempt to take over the original Aberdeen by Hibs was one of the first steps towards amalgamation. http://www.afcheritage.org/history/milestones/index.cfm I remember reading somewhere that the proposed merger had been on the cards for some time. Two smaller clubs in Dundee merged to form the present day Dundee fc and were admitted to the league right away. The three Aberdeen clubs had been looking to follow suit but the usual merger arguments meant nothing happened for ten years. Hibs had won the cup in 1902 but had been told that the first Easter road was needed for a railway development by the council.Hibs felt that the Edinburgh council didn't value them and that they were very pro hearts and did indeed consider moving to Aberdeen as that was the largest city still without a league club. This made the three clubs put their differences aside and form the present day dons before it was too late,hibs meanwhile moved to their current ground.

According to wikipedia he was still at the Dons - moved to Falkirk nine days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The ones in bold are the only decent players in that team. Crawford would get pass marks from me based on his career as a whole if not his time at Aberdeen. Possibly Maguire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Didn't Crawford lose it with the fat oaf after that game? I seem to recall that was the end of his time with us afterwards. It appears you're right - Soccerbase says he signed for the Pars the following week. Wasn't there something about Tangoman being away on holiday either just before or right after this game? Like he only landed from Tenerife that morning and was still pished or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
