Great pic - the keeper and outfield players look to be dealing with the ball coming from opposite directions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee lost the final 2-1 in controversial fashion to Celtic in 1925. The story I heard was that during a goalmouth scramble a Celtic forward (I think Patsy Gallagher) wedged the ball between his feet and lifted it over the goal line. The ref gave the goal instead of an indirect free kick. No surprises there then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) As another Dundee great has sadly passed I was certain there was a picture of Pat Liney’s penalty save against St Mirren in the penultimate game of then title winning 61/62 season. Nearest I could find was a small one of him being mobbed after then game plus one of Andy Penman making it 2-0. From ‘Up Wi’ The Bonnets’.

Luddite Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Scottish Cup Final 1986 Including an amusing little piece about Henry Smith & Jimmy Greaves. A bit petty to refer to Greaves as merely a “TV Personality”, considering how good a player he was.

Specky Ginger Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Being before the era of sub goalies, Murray McDermott would have been denied a runner's up medal, but he made his European debut for Hearts at a ripe old age. Rovers goalkeeper when I started going to games and have great memories of him flying through the air in his green Bukta shirt, tipping shots over the bar or round the post. Taken far too soon at the age of 53. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a clip of Henry Smith and some other Hearts players shown on 'On the Ball', which was the prequel to 'Saint and Greavsie'. In the clip, the birth certificate was displayed and then the players turned to the camera and all gave a resounding, fisting style, 'get it up ye' gesture to Greaves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have a little YouTube trip later to try and find this. I’m sure Greaves needling was all in jest, he always seemed like a warm person to me, a pleasant joker with no malice and understood that a little contention between him and St.John was TV gold.

Mr Heliums Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The best thing about this BBC archive video comparing Edinburgh and Glasgow accents is the footage from outside Parkhead before a 1976 game against Hearts, including a boy asking for the traditional lift-over (at 1:43): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
