Northern Ireland got Spain, Honduras and Yugoslavia and went into the second knock out phase where they were knocked out. England got France, Czechoslovakia and Kuwait and, like NI went to the second group phase and were eliminated there. Bizzare format for the 78 and 82 World Cups, top two from each group went into a second group phase, four groups of three where each group winner went into the semi finals. The 78 World Cup had no semi finals. There were two groups of four in the second phase. The winners of each contested the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad, I remember reading it had a second group phase but, the 82 world cup is the first one I'm old enough to remember watching, albeit very vaguely as I was six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think it caused some scars. 1974 had the same format as 78, but although I was around, I don't remember it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False flag operation if you ask me. I mean Aberdonians throwing coins away...?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always struggle to imagine houses being there given it's so open with the car park there now, must have been incredibly tight when there was a big fixture on. You might find out soon enough. As far as I'm aware there's a planning application in for housing on the car park and on the site of the old railway depot behind the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGhee scored one of their goals I think. Apart fae Andy Ritchie , the thing I remember most about Morton fae that era is Jim Tolmie’s mental hair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can understand how they might just have underestimated Celtic - with wee Jimmy Johnstone, podgy Bobby Murdoch and bandy Bobby Lennox Exactly, so much so that Inter thought they could play an arm-less goalkeeper.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
