Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Nah, that's a pretty famous incident. It was also the only time we all got ourselves into a lather about signing an Italian, Sebatino De Massis. He played once, and we would have been better with J Mascis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Never really heard from him again after he left us for Liverpool just read on his wikipedia page funny he finished his playing career at East Fife.Irvine was the stuff of legend but only when he was in the same starting eleven as Crawford Baptie. That combination seemed to to be magical or calamitous. There were a couple of Forfar 6-4 and 4-6 games that were great to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt to do with him breaking both of his legs !! I am sure I will have an Alan Irvine player profile in a programme somewhere, I am betting his favourite food is streak and his favourite drink is lager.....no much has changed really !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 There was video of the Albert craig fisticuffs. Would love to see it again. Evans got sent off first and was walking towards the tunnel then craig got sent off and started running towards Evans who put a bit of a jog on then they met in the tunnel with arms flying everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was desperate to get to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Rangers and Celtic about to make the last 32 of the Europa lge and our coefficient going up so we now have 2 Champ lge places, I could easily make an argument this is the best Scottish football has been in a decade. Even the National team are a bawhair from making the Euros. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record transfer of a player from the Scottish league in the summer too, with a decent chance there are a couple of players who could break that in the next 12 months. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ Northern Ireland could qualify by winning two games ffs having lost the other 4 in their nations league group. If we fail it will be the lowest of the low for scottish football.Our coefficient is being improved by teams doing ok in the second tier European competition having been unable to get past the likes of Cluj to reach the champions league. We've not had a team in the champions league proper for two seasons now which is very poor.Scottish football is complete and utter dross.

Gaz FFC Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 And there we have the problem. In England for around 15 - 20 years they all sing from the same hymn sheet about how great it is. In Scotland we have fans like this clambering over each other to tell anyone listening how shite Scottish fitba is. What chance have you got. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Scottish players are in the Rangers and Celtic first teams?. I don't think the standard has improved. Even at our level it's not great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
