Can't remember who it was but I was howling laughing at that. Motherwell. It prompted something of a meltdown from their social media team IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pens_Dark Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Caniggia to this day is the most ridiculous signing we have made. He should have been nowhere near us. Nemsadze was my favourite, however. A magician that came from practically nowhere. He also provided one of the best goals I've seen live against THEM in the fruit salad bowl.

Big Gus Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Marcello Morocco doesn't get enough "props" from that era A classy wee ballet but a total unit. Strong in the tackle. Used to love watching him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Ya see I’m only 26 my memory heyday was the challenge cup win, which was up til this season known as the tunnocks caramel water cup where we scrapped a win against 3-2 other than that I’ve very slim pickings of “cup runs, great players, or cracking games” [emoji30] special mentions of the deefiant season and our promotion last season where we celebrated like mad finishing 2nd like 20 points behind hertzYou not at the Scottish cup final in 2002? I was there, only 27 years old! That’s my worst memory following Dundee.Remember distinctly beating ICT to get to the final and I’ve never been so happy at a football game; limbs everywhere. After the final our bus got bricked by the zombies. Some memories with Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 My lowest point was after we were put out of a cup by Aberdeen during the admin season. Genuinely thought we'd go bust without that cup money and burst into tears. Second lowest was under Gordon Chisholm and we went to Dunfermline and were 3 down early doors. The night I knew the league was gone and I just wanted Jocky back as it was evident the players weren't playing for Chisholm. Still to this day the only game I've ever left early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 This one killed me, what a team we had then. The dayglo morons then lost to St Mirren in the final. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That United team won home and away against Barcelona on the way to the UEFA cup final. During that period in the 80s Saints and United used to have some brilliant matches, but that final each team cancelled each other out. If you had beaten United we would have pumped you in the final so probably best you never made it. Only joking! The players of the 70s and 80s in Scotland were probably our best ever. I despair sometimes with these journeyman players staying a season or two and can’t get close to the players gone by in terms of commitment and skills. St Mirren at one stage planned a double swoop for Keith Wright and Tommy Coyne. Can’t remember why it never went through. Great strike force. Good luck next season. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Tony, hiya pal Where do you start with that post St Mirren’s got their best team now since Fergie’s stint, Barcelona of the 80s are hardly recognisable to the team of the last 25 years and planning a double swoop for Coyne and Wright…aye ok pal we were planning on a double swoop for Dalglish and Rush! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was Fitzpatrick who bid £750K for those two players. They went for a combined figure of £1M. Barcelona team sheet had these players. Don’t underestimate the talent they had in the 80s. I believe the best player in the world Maradona played for them in the 80s. Starting Eleven 1. Andoni Zubizarreta 2. Miranda Gerardo 3. Migueli 4. Manolo 5. Munoz Victor 6. Josep Mortallia 7. Ramon Maria Caldere 8. Gary Lineker 9. Mark Hughes 10. Fernandez Roberto 11.
