I remember an advert on STV calling on people to attend the game to see Dumbarton qualify. Scottish clubs participation was reduced from seven to four and we were one of three clubs omitted. English clubs went from 13 to 16. Newcastle United won it that season for the second year in a row. Kiddies: Yes, in those days Newcastle not only won matches but trophies too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Muir Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I have an old VCR recording of all the Dumbarton footage from STV. I don't think the Celtic game was covered by STV as it is not on the tape.If you transferred that footage to dvd a few punters would pay for a copy. Me bring first in the queue. We played Motherwell at Boghead midweek and I’d sneaked some cans in. I crashed out under one of the floodlights on the grass and got home not knowing what the score was. The Scotsport highlights later that night bailed me out from my Dad’s question as to how the game went. If I remember right, I could be seen under the floodlights on the footage but I couldn’t be recognised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking into to Jumbo - the footage will almost certainly be subject to copyright, which would be vested in the rights holder, in this case the SFL. However, the present SFL is not the same legal entity that existed then, so it all depends on what rights were transferred over. The other issue is if I can find it! (I am sure I can - I don't have Old Scrotum's blank memories). Edited October 24, 2018 by Sons FC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsport wanted to show highlights of a big English game that night and could only do so if they showed footage from the game at Boghead. First, not Premier Division, game. Crashing out was a good idea. It was one of the most turgid games of football I've ever had the misfortune to witness. P.C. Gibbon - the long arm of the law - threatened a group of us with arrest for cursing (nae fuckin' wonder) which led to lots of "Jolly good shot" and "Golly gosh" type shouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Scrotum Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'd love to re-live a particular televised game from Pittodrie. Not for the match itself (we got humped 6-0 or something) but for the performance of the infamous Beenzie. He was standing underneath the t.v. camera and right through the highlights you can hear him roaring "Aw, fur f**k sake Dumbarton". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched the tape for some years now (for obvious reasons) but I know there is a midweek game against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on there - it ended 1-1 with John Bourke scoring for us - is that the one you mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this was on a Saturday, I'm sure. Thinking back, the 6-0 was midweek. Edited October 24, 2018 by Old Scrotum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I'd really like to see is the league cup semi against Celtic. However my sister worked for stv many moons ago and a thorough search came to the conclusion that it had been taped over Wasn't the game also shown on the BBC? I remember Sam Leitch showing the clip of Lawrie Williams' penalty save from Willie Wallace on Grandstand (in what is now the Football Focus slot) the following Saturday. I got back too late from Hampden to see the highlights on the night. I just sent you a message, please check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just been watching a piece on Reporting Scotland concerning a stushie about the intended location of the new Monklands Hospital, when up pops the Chief Executive of NHS Lanarkshire. Blow me if it's not our old pal Calum Campbell, surely the worst pound-for-pound player purchase ever made by Dumbarton FC, unless anyone has other ideas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right, I could be seen under the floodlights on the footage but I couldn’t be recognised. That Motherwell game was only shown because Liverpool were playing in the European cup that night. And back then the Scottish league wouldn't allow highlights of an English game to be shown if there was a Scottish game being played that night - unless they showed highlights of it too. So our second tier match against Motherwell was shown Edit to add that I see Old Scrotum beat me to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
