free beer Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 On September 16th 1905, "the wasps" Alloa Athletic played a Scottish Qualifying Cup match at Lochgelly United, also known as "the wasps", whilst their own Recreation Park was being used as a neutral venue for a Qualifying Cup replay. Before the start of the latter match, a wasps nest was disturbed causing the spectators to retreat. Do you know of any other bizarre sporting coincidences? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I was paying to get into a Glenafton game because my friend was playing for them at the time. The guy at the turnstile assumed I was a youth and charged me for a youth ticket. I said that I was not a youth and was actually an adult. He said "ah, you're an honest man". I said "well, I do support them." He didn't seem amused by that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Joe Baker was apparently the most recent player to score a triple hat-trick in a Scottish Cup tie (until last month!). He'd taken that accolade from... his own brother. Also that old chestnut about 'Waterreus & Colgan': Dutch goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus made his debut for Manchester City in September 2004 against Barnsley in the League Cup, City running out 7-1 winners against a Tykes line-up including Nick Colgan in goal. The following year Waterreus moved to Rangers, for whom he made his debut against Dundee United in the League Cup. Rangers won 7-1 and Colgan was once again in goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that this was actually said, and fell into place as a valid cricket statement, is enough, in weak moments, to have me thinking there might actually be a God. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
