O'Kelly Isley III Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Played for The Sons in the late 1970's. In fact Pat played as many games for us as he did for Celtic.Pat McCluskey was an excellent player for us, a great reader of the defensive side of the game. He was never better than in the 1-0 SC replay win at Tynecastle in 1977. I also seem to recall him scoring a hat-trick against us when Celtic tanked us 6-1 at Boghead in the 1972 promotion season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Pat McCluskey was an excellent player for us, a great reader of the defensive side of the game.

I also seem to recall him scoring a hat-trick against us when Celtic tanked us 6-1 at Boghead in the 1972 promotion season.The 6-1 defeat was the following season(although, still 1972) and he did indeed score a hat trick. Ironically, former Celtic player Willie Wallace scored our goal that day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons FC Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) 2nd December 1972 at Boghead. Pat scored a hat-trick for Celtic and Willie Wallace scored for us. I remember it was 6-0 at the time and the Celtic fans cheered his goal as much as we did. John Cushley scored an own goal in that match as well.

microdave Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 This is great news. I miss seeing our own highlights package but to be streaming live is the cherry on the cake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 That really is excellent news. Slightly disappointed the commentary position is filled, me and @Bring Back Paddy Flannery would've been some team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Think thats the same system we are having at Peterhead, going to be a free stream for season ticket holders and also local care homes & hospitals. Will be handy if not allowed to attend games but would still rather be there home or away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Delighted this has become a reality.I remember pushing for it back in APRIL/MAY along with some of you and despite assurances from some quarters that it couldn't be done...VOILA!!Great news and lets hope it now gets the support to make it viable and profitable . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal circumstances we couldn't do this. Without coronavirus the rules about broadcasting games on a Saturday at 3pm would still be in place. They've been relaxed to allow teams to make an income until full crowds can come back. We could technically now broadcast abroad in future if the rules go back to normal, but I assume continuing this partnership will defend on how much its used by punters. It is great news though, delighted with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I know you cannot broadcast in Scotland normally but overseas fans can.If East fife can afford to run it I think we should be able to as well.Think the support base is similar more or less but i am not sure if there is more to it than that.There are a good number of SONS fans abroad who i am sure will welcome this development and indeed support it post-covid 19( assuming one day that is a reality) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super-son Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Do you think that this is something we will keep in place after covid is gone and everything is back to normal?From looking at their site, it looks as if it costs between $40-$90 per game to run the service. I don't know if that is the price we'll be paying but if it is, surely we could have say 10 viewers paying a tenner each to cover that per game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely get across to Dumbarton from the east for a game but would gladly pay a reasonable price to watch the games from home. There must be plenty of others in my situation too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
