It will become a faded memory as those that remember Brockville decline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are less inclined to go to a pub nowadays due to cost, family/work/other commitments etc. Theres still plenty of post match analysis though either via social media or whatsapp group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Pretty much, loved a manikee night out.Yep. Nae issue with a player going out, but he took it to the extreme. Bearing in mind the position we were in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues with players going out after a game to be honest, best time for them to do it if your going from Saturday-Saturday games. It’s like the Scott Shepherd/Steak piegate all over again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 How dare a man go and do what he wants with his spare time after work..He was struggling to get into the Development Team due to this. Instead of pushing himself to get into the first team. That’s the problem I had. Paying a guy a wage to be an imposter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps British Bulldogs would suit him better. Still...those crazy japes eh, let's make sure we don't lose him in the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That was the day we got relegated. Bottom of the league and utterly dross. The previous 3/4 years were the good years We did win the league with a pretty decent side the following season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid if it now and the hundreds of thousands saved should be given to Mark Durnan & Paul Dixon to make sure they are with us for the rest of their promising careers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it’ll put off 500 fans. I reckon we will still see 1500+ make the journey, especially if a win could send us top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Hibs in the midweek game when Cunningham turned down the Scotland job. there were about 15,000 at the game and Hibs never had a chance ( very emotional ) Putting Aberdeen out the league cup with the 3 - 1 victory. Seeing off Willy Ormond's St Johnstone 5 -3 and on and on. Great memories ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all because of them bringing the dross from Ireland and Wales in. League should always take preference over this competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The team of the early 70’s was excellent.True. Sadly I remember standing in the choir looking at a very empty and often angry main stand in the late 70's. My first game was about 63-64 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board with no money or unwilling to find any. Squad of full of jobbers picking up a wage. No youth team. All to look forward to in the next season was hope against hope for some gems in the free transfers. All that is needed is 5 full timers and the rest part time and there we are back to 77 ! No if's or but's we must go up this season and for the sake of the fans health - as champions ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
