I like Ray Bradshaw on the show and he seems to have a genuine love for football ie he has mentioned being on tour somewhere in England and going to a random game but that is poor. Even if he had no knowledge of the games you mention he surely knows they won the Scottish Cup in 87 which would get them into the following seasons Cup Winners Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieKTID Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Did bullet holes appear on the graphic? Or is my memory playing tricks on me? Either way I preferred the wee guy hanging up the scores on the old score board to the digital version which only worked properly for a few seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 The two scoreboards I remember from the late 80s were at Cappielow and Rugby Park. I think the Cappielow one is still there, now used as an advertising hoarding although a Ton fan can confirm The large electronic scoreboard at Meadowbank Stadium also presented the scores as A 1-1, B 2-0 etc which annoyed those who didn't buy a programme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to another podcast yesterday and Bob Mills was actually talking about theA,B,C system they had for half time scores and how they should bring it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She fronts St Mirren TV every week and claims to be a great supporter being privileged to do the job. You would think some European night photos around the stadium would have given her a clue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She isn't, she's a Rangers fan pretending to be a St Mirren fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Dumbarton's A, B, C, scoreboard at Boghead also had an analogue clockface with a single hand to show elapsed time during the half. Unfortunately, there was no timing mechanism to turn it, so a guy had to come round and move it on manually with a stick, whenever he could be arsed. Not hugely accurate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
