Dundee Hibernian Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 1969, in Portland, Oregon. I'm not sure if this was the first ever game between an English and Scottish side on artificial turf, but the Hammers adapted better, scoring six goals in the opening 30 or so minutes, winning 8-2 against Dundee United. Hurst, Peters and a young Harry Rednapp were among WHU's scorers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for a reason. But people who wrote song lyrics about green white and gold and took non official coloured flags to football matches were making a point.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Of course it is. And for a reason. But people who wrote song lyrics about green white and gold and took non official coloured flags to football matches were making a point. Green white and yellow is the flag for the sparsely populated county of Offaly in west Leinster It maybe that thousands of Celtic fans just happened to have some connections with that county But that would be ... ... an Offaly strange coincidence I’ll get my coat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an exhibit in the Hampden museum of it. I dont know if it is a reconstruction or part of the original press box though. It's part of the original, it definitely wouldn't have been my preferred viewing point for games at the old stadium! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 10 hours ago, Pet Jeden said: Okay - so it's a nod to something they identify themselves with. It was maybe becoming a bit childish and irrelevant and out of place by the 1980s. But do we snigger at the idea of Celtic identifying with green? (and up to the 1970s very often green white and yellow flags were common place) I thought what he said as pretty funny. And why you would think to mention Celtic supporters identifying with green, given that their team has always played in the colour, is mystifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 From Hibs v Brechin programme in 1989. Is Dick Campbell responsible for inspiring Craig Levein's managerial career? Hibs scraped home 1-0 thanks to a Collins goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 A 1/3 complete Muirton Park enclosure with floodlights that the league said were only fit for training. St Johnstone 4-3 Partick thistle 2/9/1961 in the final group game of the league cup that season Our club historian Brian Doyle stated on twitter that number 8 in the photo is Ronnie Wright who had just scored the fourth and winning gaol. Saints were 2-0 down at half time and 3-2 down in the second half. That result means Saints win the section eliminating Celtic whom we beat home and away, and Hibs, who "Hibsed it" losing there last two games to go from top of the group of 4 to 3rd in the table. Thistle finished last with 3 points from their 6 games. The attendance was around 10,000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just love that old Airdrie kit, absolute classic. Not sure why, as they gave Killie some real doings in the eighties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
