Northboy Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 13 hours ago, Flybhoy said: I recall a discussion between a mate and the guy who ran our Celtic supporters bus in the 90's on the merits of Peter Grant, mate of mine points out Grant gives 100% every game he plays.. ...bus convenor replies "Aye, well 100% of f**k all is still f**k all at the end of the day, chase the useless b*****d" Scottish football has a tendency to worship players who we feel 'give 100%' regardless of their ability. F##k, I'd give 100% but it wouldn't be much use to any anyone. I once heard Peter Grant described as 'not the worst player ever to play for Celtic but probably the worst to play over 300 games for Celtic'. That sums him up pretty well (and Celtic of his era). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The 1999/2000 Challenge Cup final in Airdrie where Alloa beat ICT on penalties after a 4-4 draw AET. Here Paul Sheerin celebrates one of the 3 he got that afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Another one from the same season. Our firast season in the old 1st division. That team; [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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, at least we qualified for fucking tournaments back then. The 'glamour' friendly at Hampden which, merely pissed club fans off by delaying the start of the league campaign to the last weekend in August, was such a fucking non event played in a near deserted Hampden I can't even recall the score....anyone here remember? Some good players in the SFL side mind you, ineligible for Scotland in the case of Gary Stevens, Theo Snelders, Miodrag Krivokapic, Chris Morris and Hans Gillhaus, young stars who would go on to star for Scotland such as Paul Lambert, David Robertson, Tom Boyd and Billy McKinlay or, guys not capped for Scotland because they were fucking pish like Keith Wright. Back row, Charlie Nicholas, Billy McKinlay, Keith Wright, Packie Bonner, Theo Snelders, Robert Conner, David Robertson, Mio Krivokapic, Tom Boyd. Front row, Freddy Van Der Hoorn (I think), Hans Gilhaus, Istvan Kozma, Gary Stevens, Chris Morris, Paul Lambert, Jim McInally. With players from 9 of the 10 Premier League teams that season The 28 lower league teams got the Challenge cup as a one off event that season We had a player who had played in the Final of Euro 88 just over 2 years before this game yet he was not selected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not deserving of being singled out from a team containing McKinlay, McInally, Morris and Boyd. btw how in God's name did Boyd get 72 Scotland caps ? Apart from playing for Celtic, obviously. Boyd was a very good player, very consistent, rarely injured and never retired from International duty at a young age like the current p***k that is captain of Celtic...all that said, Boyd is a thoroughly unlikeable individual, a total knob of a guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Jum McLean was in charge of the SFL side crowd was 15085. I was there.. one of the 15,085 rattling about a Hampden Park that had a capacity of 70,000 at the time. I started talking to the bloke next to me: "OI MATE..." The match was seen at the time as a pretty tinpot way to celebrate 100 years of the Scottish League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Dave Narey leads Dundee United out for the second leg of the 1987 UEFA Cup Final at Tannadice against IFK Gothenburg, a 1-0 defeat in the first leg in same stadium Aberdeen won the 1983 CWC in coupled with a 1-1 draw here saw Jim McLean's brilliant side fall just short, having beaten Barcelona home and away in the quarter finals, and a 2-0 away win in Borussia Moenchengladbach in the semi final after a 0-0 draw at home in the first leg. Gothenburg's stadium I seem to recall a story about a Bruce Springsteen concert a week or two before the Dundee United game wrecked the pitch, the goal which did for Utd I remember taking a freakish bounce from a downward header completely deceiving Billy Thompson in his trademark joggie bottoms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
