DA Baracus Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Did Norrie even want to go in to management? As others have said, impossible to know how it would have turned out if he did. Stellaboz is almost certainly correct in that he would have been hounded out at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just remembered thar on the 10 year anniversary of his death they had Sammy The Tammy run around with a bit of cardboard with Norrie's name on it. Some effort by the club that day... That before a cup game that we should never discuss in which BMMMH scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Axle Grease Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The Pars were then flirting with relegation and, like football's answer to the manic-depressive, they were passing through periodic gloom. To re-connect with his music, Adamson had emigrated to Nashville, cashed in his season ticket to East End Park and was hunting for the next phase of his life. He kept up to date with the Pars via websites, phone calls home and satellite TV games beamed into bars in Tennessee. Ironically, the last time he was seen alive, in the few confusing weeks prior to his death, was in a sports bar where he watched the World Cup qualifier between Iran and Ireland. Few other clubs can have such modern tragedy in their heart. The inter-woven lives of Stuart Adamson and Norrie McCathie would make a formidable movie script. McCathie's untimely death wrenched the heart-strings of Dunfermline. Never the most elegant or gifted player in the club's history McCathie somehow reached the soul of what football fans most want - effort, dedication and commitment. As other stars burnt bright and faded McCathie was always there, dependable and digging in. One of his finest hours was scoring the winner in a penalty shoot-out against Airdrie in a Skol Cup semi-final at Tynecastle. They lost in the final to Hibs but at least for a few glorious weeks, Pars fans were allowed the luxury of looking back to the mid- 1960s when the team Jock Stein had built was one of the best in Britain. Following McCathie's death, Dunfermline's next league match was cancelled, flowers, scarves and memorabilia were laid around the perimeter of East End Park, and Norrie's No.4 shirt was respectfully rested for the remainder of the season. This is a club that knows how to grieve. When Dunfermline next takes the field at home on December 29 against Aberdeen, the players will run out to their unofficial anthem Into The Valley, a song by the Skids, the punk band Stuart Adamson founded when he left school in the 70s. It is a rousing call to arms curiously set amidst the valley-fields of Fife. Although plans have not yet been finalised, it is likely a minute's silence will be held in memory of the club's most-famous lead guitarist. Throughout his life Adamson was always a shy but determined ambassador. He saw Scotland as a Big Country and Dunfermline Athletic as the heart and soul of football. Of all the thousands of tributes worldwide that have paid homage to his memory, one was posted on the web by a Big Country fan in Birmingham - "Not only did you bring me joy, you changed me from a boy to a Pars Fan. Rest in Peace". That is an epitaph that Stuart Adamson would have cherished.This club knows how to grieve.

Can remember him and Davie Irons turned up to present my school football team with a trophy. Running in a charity event for Hillsborough. He hardly gets mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above was written by Stuart Cosgrove in 2001, it's a nice piece. Yeah, correct about Gary Riddell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 No Morton double header for us! Think that the game tomorrow should have been given an exemption since both clubs are in the Championship, but nothing to be done about it. The Scottish Cup has been shown that it doesn't need to be played right away, so there's enough time to get it played later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Exemption can't be given as there isn't time for the clubs to become compliant with the new regulations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Thank f*ck tbh. Playing them twice, especially as both are away, in the space of 4 days is too much for me to take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Would probably have been quite welcome to the club's finances. It will be nearly a month since our last home game when we play our next one (Ayr, a week on Saturday). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
