tree house tam Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 22 minutes ago, PauloPerth said: The Saints FB page had the classic last match of the season from 1999 on yesterday. We had to win to finish third and qualify for Europe for the first time in about 27 years or so. Save of the season from Alan Main kept it at 0-0. It's still McDiarmid Park's record attendance at 10545 I think, with about 8700 Saints fans there and a packed away stand. Watching the video, the camera pans to outside the corner of the ground and there are hundreds on the banking locked out trying to get a view of the game. Happy days! We never got in, had to rely on ceefax updates in the 208. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get there early this Saturday to avoid similar disappointment... I remember when we got our football news off ceefax.. page 302 on the BBC I think? Originally it would scroll through about 20 pages and you never quite had enough time to finish reading the article, or see all the scores for that league, and have to wait ages for it to come round again. But then they brought out the HOLD button... what a fucking magnificent piece of technology that was, right up there with the wheel and electricity in terms of impact on the human race.

Dee Bliss Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 You’re still not counting qualifying rounds as Europe are you Scottish football’s still counting the cost of your shite teams getting in the qualifying rounds.

tree house tam Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Imagine not even qualifying for the qualifying rounds lads? That's like diddier than the diddiest. You can't really blame the Dees for clinging onto friendlies as highlights when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies. X Now come on Ali, Dundee have also participated in a type of European competition during the colour tv era... Take a bow Scotland's 2001 Intertoto Cup representatives, Dundee FC. * The UEFA Intertoto Cup, also abbreviated as UI Cup and originally called the International Football Cup was a summer football competition for European clubs that had not qualified for one of the major UEFA competitions, the Champions League, the UEFA Cup and until 1999, the Cup Winners' Cup. Papped out 5-2 in the first round of a cup nobody else wanted to play in by a team nobody's heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
