Monkey Tennis Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I was surprised to see Drew Jarvie was a full International. Apparently, he'd won 3 caps while with Airdrie. Who knew? Probably plenty people on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie could not have been the Leeds United of Scottish football at that time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was done and I think Bobby Brown got the sack soon afterwards. I'd need to look up the other 2. He got under 23 caps as well. The surprise was really that Drew Busby wasn't capped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool freed Ian StJohn the same day as the NI game. https://www.londonhearts.com/scores/images/1971/1971051801.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surprise was really that Drew Busby wasn't capped.Used to watch Rovers and Airdrie, more or less on alternate weeks, in the early 70s. Jarvie and Busby were a formidable force for Airdrie, particularly during their run to the Texaco Cup Final.Jarvie came from Annathill, a wee mining village near Glenboig, which has spawned an inordinate number of Scottish international players - Jock 'Tiger' Shaw, his brother, Davie, and Frank Brennan, all of that wee parish, played against Switzerland in 1946. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dundee players are Seith, Ure, Smith and Hamilton. Bobby Seith signed from Burnley in 1960 and Gordon Smith arrived the following year. This is most likely the League winning side of 61-62 or the European Cup heroes of the following year. It's difficult to make out the goalie but I think it's Pat Liney which would definitely make it the league winning season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, maybe the season is 62-63, as Clyde were in the Second Division when you won the league. They came up as champions in 61-62, then were relegated back down in 62-63. From what I can find, the game, if it was 62-63, was a 3-2 win for Clyde in January '63. Crowd was 6233. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde were always a bogey team for us, even when they were struggling. Strange seeing them in (I presume) red, always thought that was their change strip. Maybe one o the Bully Wee's can enlighten us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any coincidence that the withdrawal of this artform coincided with the demise of Scottish football? Just think of all the wee boys all over Scotland reading this excitedly before hurrying off to find a brick wall to practice these skills against, then trying them out in a wee game of three a sides (including a lassie who couldnie play but made up the numbers and was good at recovering the ball from the adjacent pitch). If only we still had target men who could lay the ball off for their mates breaking from midfield, who could control a ball with the inside of the foot and who could effectively head the ball downwards with the front of the forehead! Take a bow messrs. Gilfeather and Thomson and of course, dirty baldy Drew, this is coaching golddust! The Henry McLeish report pinpointed many reasons for the decline in quality of our national game but crucially failed to mention the withdrawal of coachstrips. The solution to our current problems is therefore blindingly obvious - scrap the performance schools and bring back coachstrips! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Bartender Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Forget Statues & Busts of famed footballers (as you know, they only get vandalised anyway). Here's the grand recognition of none other than Gary MacKay Steven. Surprisingly for a man better associated with water, he has a wind turbine named after him.

GNU_Linux Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Blantyre Celtic, at Hampden, perhaps 1946.1946 most likely as that's the 3rd & final time they made the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup (never made it to the final). Other semis were 1924 & 1938. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
