Metaphor for someone's sister standing on him, dog eating him, or using their thumb and him disappearing under the sofa? The first of those was my biggest difficulty. Seeing the picture of the box the Hibs side came in, almost had me weeping with nostalgic yearnings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylangt7 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Posted apropos of nothing other than it includes my Uncle Davie and I know little about his time with Clyde, not sure there's much to tell or if he even made a 1st team appearance. He went of to have a career in the NSL with Toronto. Other than the obvious names Harry Haddock and Jim McLean, I only aware of Willie McCulloch as I still see him cycling around Dumbarton now and again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have prevented us getting franchised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dons wore that against Dundee United in home games in the late 'sixties and early 'seventies, and I think this picture is from a Pittodrie clash against Hearts. Think it's been covered before, but there was a period of time when the home side changed if there was a clash. 1 hour ago, Dylangt7 said: Posted apropos of nothing other than it includes my Uncle Davie and I know little about his time with Clyde, not sure there's much to tell or if he even made a 1st team appearance.

Monkey Tennis Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I love how pissed off Jim McLean looks in that Clyde picture. You can tell that he considers the photographer an absolute dick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there was some navy blue kicking about in our strips pre-formation/merger and in our shorts after 1903, we were very much black and gold with white or black shorts until we made the change to red. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he has an early stage pencil moustache to me. Maybe him and Drew challenged each other to go the whole hog after this game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiejim Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Firhill was a favourite ground of mine when that terracing still existed. Its a crying shame to see it in its present derelict state. Thistle had plans at one time to redevelop that end in the same way as the opposite end with a smallish stand and flats behind. It would be a huge improvement on what is there now. Have those plans been scrapped? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The Caley Stadium one could never happen as there's a big fuck off gas pipe between the ground and the A9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
