O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 6 hours ago, Boghead ranter said: Dumbarton v Kilmarnock 1973 Date unclear, but looks likely to be 17/3/73, a 4-2 home win. 2 doubles from Ross Mathie and Brian Herron for Sons, Jim McSherry and Eddie Morrison for Killie.* *All thanks to the excellent Sons Archive https://sonsarchive.co.uk/index.php That was some game. The picture shows Ross Mathie scoring Sons fourth very late on against his old club, sealing what was to be a crucial win which helped us stay up. Earlier, the late Brian Heron scored a wonderful free kick into the same end. I can still see it crash off the underside of the bar and ricochet back upwards into the roof of the net.

Arch Stanton Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 16 minutes ago, Piquet said: A Bio of Denis Law by the League Magazine My favourite Scotland player. I only got to see him play once, a Euro qualifier v Denmark. As stated in the article he was in the Scotland side which lost 9-3 in 1961 and he said it was the most humiliating experience of his career. So in 67 when Scotland were 2-0 up he wanted to enact some revenge for that defeat and really pump them. Anecdotally, Bremner and Baxter showboated allowing England to score twice in the last 5 minutes to save a bit of face. Sadly missed Man Utd's EC win in 68 but achieved his dream of playing in a WC finals in 74. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluearmyfaction Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 One of the disgraces in the game is the way larger clubs use their financial muscle simply to obliterate smaller rivals with big money approaches. Naturally one of the absolute worst for this is St Mirren. And as usual the big boys got away with it.

I can think of quite a few Sons players down the years that I would quite happily have paid to 'keep out of the way'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second live game I ever saw on TV ... sad to say the first was the dreaded Wembley 66. Wee Bertie Auld used to hand out the medals at the end of season to our local boys club, seemed a nice fella. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 It was 60yrs ago Denis Law scored a hat trick for his nation but ended up on the losing side. Wearing all white shirts Scotland crashed 4-3 in Bergen to a Norwegian team drawn entirely from their domestic non-professional league, at the start of a 3-game tour of Europe. Matters got worse 5 days later when the Scots lost 1-0 to Eire in Dublin, before pride was restored 4 days on with a famous 6-2 victory over Spain in the Bernabeu. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
