  1. Serves them right the Welsh for not bringing Aaron Ramsay on to take a penalty.
  2. Alan Rough got the lucky draw in this strip launch for Scotland before the 1982 World Cup. Not a chance this kind of thing would be even considered today, sadly using attractive girls in kit launches or at the beginning of Grand Prix's and at the stage walk in the darts is deemed offensive.... it all started with Soccer AM binning the 'Soccerette" in my opinion.
  3. Another testimonial, from 1980 and no introduction needed for these three legends before Danny's match against Liverpool.
  4. John Wark was a player I thought was criminally underrated in the 1980's, as someone with a soft spot for Liverpool I was a big fan of his, scored 24 goals from midfield in 84/85 not a single penalty. Another highly successful Scottish International from that era who never played a game for a senior Scottish side along with the likes of Alan Brazil, the Nottingham forest version of John Robertson, Peter Lorimer, Frank Gray and a few others I cant instantly recall at this minute.
  5. Martin Buchan testimonial between Manchester United and Aberdeen in 1983 as Sir Fergie of Govan and Ron the racist lead out their respective sides with the trophies from the previous seasons, Aberdeen's Scottish and ECW cups and Utd's FA cup.
  6. A wintry Ibrox seeing the Copland Road stand being constructed, picture from 1980 I believe.
  7. John Brown in his pre 'Bomber' days when he was actually a goalscoring midfielder for Dundee before going to Ibrox a few years later, seeing out the second half of his career booting opponents and screaming thinly veiled sectarian insults at youth team members and Italian team mates. A 2-2 draw at Dens Park against Aberdeen from March 1986. Jim Duffy and Vince Mennie join in the celebrations, the 'Derry' in the background is virtually identical and unchanged to this day, much like the main stand.
  8. Celtic's two Polish signings from 1989, the two 'Dariusz'... Dzeikanowski will probably be best remembered for his four goal salvo against Partisan Belgrade that year when in typical Celtic style we still managed to make a c**t of it and go out of Europe despite scoring five at home that night, other than that he flattered to deceive despite his obvious talent and left a couple of years later with an appalling miss against the Paris Buns in the dying moments of the 1990 League cup final, which we lost in extra time being the final straw for Billy McNeil who punted him to Bristol City just afterwards, allegedly pumped Hazel Irvine and Shereen Nanjiani so did at least do a bit of damage in his time in Glasgow. 'Shuggie' Wdowczyk actually stayed for four years, a rocket of a shot with his left peg and a decent ball playing defender who could play full back or centre half but a bit injury prone and zero pace, I seem to recall Mark Hateley ragdolling him on more than one occasion, missed his penalty against Aberdeen in the 1990 Scottish Cup final shoot out which is almost forgotten since everyone remembers Anton Rogan's miss primarily, a decent player but, like many of that era not up to it compared to the players on the other side of the city.
  9. An Edinburgh Derby from March 1988 with a couple of guys who would be Celtic team mates within a couple of years.
  10. Stefano Schwarz and Gheorgi Hagi wearing two superb change kits in the 1994 World Cup quarter finals in the Yooessay..... Bizarrely I remember watching this in the 'Caley Bar' in Tenerife and having a bet of a packet of cigarettes when it went to penalties, with Jock the DJ, I took Romania and he wisely took Sweden...
  11. Yeah I love getting up at 6.00 on a Sunday morning to get my supporters bus up to Aberdeen or Inverness Whether it's 1500 or 15,000 it shouldn't matter, it's pretty w**k expecting people to travel at that time of the morning especially on a Sunday for a lunchtime kick off, it doesn't make it okay if it's only for a visiting support for a league match.
  12. 1990 World Cup finalists being led out by their respective legendary captains.
  13. Pretty much like we get every time at Pittodrie. No matter what kick off time Aberdeen get in semi finals the whinging b*****ds complain about it, you had a 5.00 kick off on a Sunday at Hampden against the **** about five years ago and the fans were complaining it was unfair on people with kids who had school in the morning and might not get home till 10 or 11 o'clock.
  14. The last page or so on this thread completely confirming this
  15. I know, no need to tell me something I don't know mind you
  16. My local team are Stirling Albion and I have a season ticket for them which I use when Celtic aren't playing so that's a failure as well.
  17. Falkirk fans never fail to dissapoint in regards to thick they are and how easy to wind up.
  18. They don't play in Falkirk this Grangemouth based club.
  19. George McCluskey rocks up at Easter Road in 1986, his first incident of note was to have Graeme Souness rake his studs down his thigh in an off the ball incident that saw him sent of on his Rangers debut, also scored the winner for Celtic in the 1980 Scottish Cup final after which ensued some rather chaotic scenes and, to this day we still can't legally drink at the football meaning I have to sneak my hip flask in each week.
  20. As goalless draws go it was actually pretty decent, Albion could have nicked it in the last ten minutes, Hamilton are fucking dugmeat, their fans were shouting Rankine Rankine get tae f**k after 5 minutes
  21. The WiFi was down meaning punters at the turnstiles paying by card were in a pickle.
