Myles Offside

Yeah, that, plus a dodgy ref letting Bo'ness get away with murder.

Having been at BR v ES, I can state with some confidence there were nowhere near 336 in attendance. When this figure was announced over the tannoy, several of the Shire fans expressed doubt at the number and had a go at counting them ourselves. Our consensus was closer to 250, and this included everyone in the stand which presumably would include directors and other "freebies".

Have to wonder who the LL refs will support next season if Bonnyrigg get promoted?

Maybe it was because Byrne wasn't named in the team therefore shouldn't have been on the pitch?

When I was a kid way back in the 60s, I was sure that "Guantanamera" was "Once in a meadow"

I've refereed a cup final at Hampden Park.

I haven't said anywhere that Aberdeen didn't want to complete.

From Wiki; The participating clubs in the first five seasons of the European Cup were selected by French football magazine L'Equipe on the basis that they were representative and prestigious clubs in Europe. In 1955/56, English champions Chelsea initially agreed to compete and were drawn against Swedish side Djurgården; however, under pressure from the Football League, who saw the tournament as a distraction to domestic football, they later withdrew from the competition, and were replaced by Gwardia Warszawa of Poland. Scottish champions Aberdeen withdrew under similar circumstances. Presumably Hibernian came under similar pressure and chose to ignore it.

The Stranraer programme didn't change much all through the 70s. I've got one from a game in March 1978 and it's identical in layout. All of the advertisers in the centre spread are the same apart from Sun Taxis.

FTFY

Have you not read ANY of the previous 448 pages of this thread?

Giving away my age here, I was thinking Ian Scanlon.

If I wasn't in Australia, I'd put my hand up for this.... Are we allowed to take a guess as to the players identity, or is it under wraps for now?

Cheers. Agreed, the web site has been sadly neglected this season. Obviously the bribe money they got from the OF hasn't been channeled in that direction....

The only place I've seen anything about this is here on P&B. Was this officially announced anywhere? There's certainly nothing that I can find on the LL web site.

I was thinking ThistleScotlandEurope.....

This sounds remarkably like Australia.

Never happened.

Ditto the Lowland League

I was at both games against Kilmarnock. Don't think I've ever felt worse after a game than that second leg. (Well, until losing the LL play-off, anyway). Missed out on a trip to Blackpool where my brother was living at the time. Gutted.

Falkirk and The Shire both playing home European ties on the same night? Nope, safe to say it's never happened.

Wick to Brechin via Dundee? That's some dodgy navigation.

Billy Bremner? Surely not? And I can't be the only one who looked at Jim Kennedy's pic and thought Willie Miller?
