tamthebam Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 In 1954 Leith Athletic actually took a stand and resigned from the C Division and went into oblivion. The C Division clubs were amalgamated into the Second Division a year later. I'm not saying there would have been a Leith Ath today but....

There was allegations of theft. ffs, don’t mention it on the St Mirren forum, Last time it came up there was talk of reset at Paisley Rd Toll and some old guy that knew the sizes of the tracksuits and named the bar staff. All a bit embarrassing. Truth was more likely the then St Mirren chairman and Fergie had a personality clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Jorge Cadete 'goal' at Ibrox that was about 3 miles onside but ruled offside would have seen some major headsgone material from the Celtic fans. Justifiably so but still entertaining nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'd have loved to have seen the slavering Rangers fans reaction when it was announced Ally McCoist would play a Celtic hero in A Shot at Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I imagine all the Kilnockie fans on here would've been seething, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I know it's been mentioned, but the 1980 Scottish Cup Final and aftermath would have been perfect. It's so good because it hits all the buttons. Celtic fans basically did what Hibs fans did after their cup win - invaded the pitch in a happy, boisterous kind of way. The trigger event for bringing the berrs oot was a Celtic fan running up to the Rangers end of the pitch and kicking a ball into the goal. That's what started all the violence. So you'd have Rangers fans being just as banterific as they were in 2016. The SFA, the police and the (Tory) Secretary of State all blamed Celtic. That would have gone down just super with the Celtic fans and not at all stuck a massive nuclear device under the oppression complex. The police were pretty shite, they were out policing the streets and there were nowhere near enough in the stadium. It took them ages to get back in. But you could defend them if you wanted to. To everyone else, the who's-right-who's-wrong would take a back seat to the spectacle of sectarian violence live on TV. And then they got everyone's alcohol taken off them. I don't think there's a single Scottish football fan who would be left without good cause for personal best levels of seethery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nastro Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hearts 0 v 7 Hibs would have been mildly amusing, however Hearts 4 v 1 Hibs shortly afterwards, would have been downright mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 George O'Boyle & Kevin Thomas' big night oot (bound to have produced some marvellous gifs). Introduction of the 10k seater stadium rule (plus the previous forced introduction all-seater grounds) The Caley Thistle merger. Meadowbank's move to Livingston. Airdrie fans and their gas masks at Dunfermline in the wake of Norrie McCathie's death. St Mirren fans getting it right up the 'Ton in '87.

Archie McSquackle Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 John Boyle's proposal for Motherwell to be a sort of Lanarkshire super club. Colin O'Neill's elbow on Peter Grant on the opening game of the season (1990?).I'm amazed if nobody has mentioned it already but the general reaction to Skippy Sunday would have been quite something.
