TheScarf Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The The Caley first team in late 1999 before a North of Scotland Cup match I believe. A few missing there like Charlie Christie and Martin Bavidge. Back Row - Dennis Wyness, Kevin Byers, Mark McCulloch, Bobby Mann, Jim Calder, Ross Tokely, Mike Teasdale. Front Row - David Xausa, Richard Hastings, Paul Sheerin, Martin Glancy, Duncan Shearer, Barry Wilson. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 There's DCI Gene Hunt heading off on a case. Was this match played on Ashes to Ashes Wednesday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Action from a Celtic v St Mirren cup tie at Ibrox in 1962. A policeman once told me that to make the apprehended fan appear to be resisting arrest, they would twist fingers or thumbs to bring on a greater struggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Go back in time 82yrs tomorrow - that's Saturday 13th January 1940 - and almost a full card was played in SFL East and SFL West. (Partick v St Mirren was postponed while Third Lanark v Dumbarton was abandoned). Little could anybody have known that the following weekend snow would mean only 1 game was played in all of Scotland - being Rangers v Motherwell - while the weekend after that only Aberdeen v Alloa survived. However far from getting better the weather got worse... and the next weekend the only football matches successfully carried on across all of Britain were Plymouth v Bristol City plus a Welsh Senior Cup tie Barry Town v Newport. Incidentally that 8-1 defeat was the last football Cowdenbeath played for the duration. Having met everybody once they resigned with their results allowed to stand. February 1940 – Members of the British Expeditionary Force take time off from defending France to have a kick around at 1st Anti-Aircraft Brigade Headquarters in Avesnes Le Comte. Until last 2yrs... Christmas Day since 1982... and Princess Diana's funeral... unsure there's ever been a full blank Saturday again? There were no SFL or Scottish Cup games on Saturday 9th February 1963 or Saturday 6th January 1979 but think non-league made it. Maybe some more recent case not in really bad winter.

Having had a look until 2012-13... there were also no first class games on the Saturday after Munich disaster snowstorm in February 1958; due to snow in later February 1966; and once again on Boxing Day in 1981. No games were played on Saturday 1st January 2000 in the aftermath of the Millennium Celebrations the previous night. As noted none on Christmas Day when it fell on a Saturday in 1982, 1993, 1999, 2004 and 2010 nor for Diana Princess of Wales funeral on Saturday 6th September 1997. Finally and rather weirdly there was nothing on Saturday 27th March 1999 even though qualifier v Czech Republic wasn't until following Wednesday. EDIT: Strictly speaking also nothing on Saturday 26th March 2005, 6th September 2008 or 8th October 2011, when away internationals in Italy, FYR Macedonia and Liechtenstein.

I was at an Alloa game a few years ago and I believe it was the only game on in Scotland that day, the snow having been cleared off the 3G pitch. It was bloody cold but the famed Recreation Park soup kept me warm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That struck me too, but (a) we all know why or (b) it was genuinely compiled prior to 2012. Either way I decided not to feed the bear by commenting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Recapping deaths + injuries... 100yrs tomorrow Ronald Currie of Vale of Leithen was so badly hurt colliding in Border Cup tie v Berwick that: so serious has the case become his parents were sent for. Last evening he was reported to be very ill. He was still hospitalised come early May when: a benefit match was played at Innerleithen between Vale of Leithen and Peebles Rovers. We understand over £50 was obtained. Jan 1923: he has again taken up his position in the team, notwithstanding the serious nature of the injuries he sustained last season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has nothing to do with the fact they scored 103 more goals than they conceded though, which is remarkable. What you do with that information doesn't alter that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, just meant actual table illustrated/etc. It's equally remarkable GA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
