Wow, Scottish football has a longer history than I thought.... And just think, the league survived perfectly fine without any Old Firm games for the first 44 years. So much for Armageddon. Take that, Doncaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the details were repeated from the previous year's edition, as none of them had sent in the form at the back of the book for inclusion in the 1873 edition. So it's a warning that the data are possibly out of date. One thing that stands out is rugby union was much the bigger code in England and Scotland - and the Sheffield code was probably bigger than association as well in England, certainly in the north (although association and Sheffield often went together, northern teams would switch to association when playing in the south, but very few switched between rugby and football). There's the famous thing that Queen's Park didn't lose a match for about ten years but it becomes less impressive when you realize that for about half of that time they had about four games per season against external opposition. It was partly QP's evangelism and partly the FA Cup that kickstarted association above rugby. And at the top right you can see Kilmarnock were still a rugby side then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Found this about it. Match is infamous for that the referee allowed Rangers to kick-off fast after Celtic had scored and not allow Celtic to celebrate. Caused a bit of a stoosh. In truth It was quick thinking by Rangers players, and it could have been avoided if one Celtic player had kept one foot in the opposition half. Wasn't really worth a hoo-haa. Andy Payton (2019) "Yes I got the winner & yes this actually happened one of the most bizarre decisions I’ve ever seen on a football pitch, at least 6 players were celebrating in front of the jungle when the referee allowed Rangers to kick off . it ended a 45 game unbeaten run for rangers so you see their sense ot urgency 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye right enough Andy. I never thought I'd ever say this, but I kinda wish Rangers had scored. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally the sporting thing is let both sides line up - maybe he was peeved with something or just wanted to be the hero of the day. I wonder if there is another occasion this happened? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does a team ever celebrate a goal in their own half? The ref restarts the play when both teams are in their own halves. The Celtic players fucked up, and the ref did the right thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Rangers were lined up, ready to kick off, Celtic were back in their own half. Away we go lads. I wish more refs would insist on quicker restarts actually. The celebrations are getting out of all proportion to most goals' importance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
