+1 ludicrous ko time and fixture date.

Anyone confirm that WBA goalkeeper that night was Bruce Grobbelaar - apparently WBA had him on trial, but couldn't secure a visa/work permit for him and subsequently went on to Crewe Alexandria and Vancouver Whitecaps before signing for Liverpool.

Nah he didn't.

Yeah you're memory is shot to pieces - WP hardly got out of the blocks before both Cunningham and Regis were over the finishing line. He wasn't even close.

Yes it was - in the day's when we took really big travelling supports to cup ties - we also had the end section closest to the main stand at ER that day as well. IIRC steward ended up with a broken leg. Skirmishes were amongst the fans and stewards though - no Hibees involved. We took a panning in the press for that.

A 'Charlie Adams' inspired St Mirren and they ripped us a new one that afternoon - as a First Division side too IIRC. Sorry see that's already been commented on - that'll teach me to refresh/read before replying.

Just catching up on this thread - some cracking pictures. Just a FYI 'Jumbo' Muir doesn't feature in this pic - I think you are referring to Jim McCabe.

Typical BBC GREAT SAVES! Aberdeen 2-0 Ross County Posted at16:21 Craig Samson is certainly earning his keep today, the goalkeeper making a double save to deny Aberdeen's Niall McGinn.

The game against Dunfermline, was if I remember correctly a game that could have put either side at the top of the league. Not only that but the Pars brought a big support through that night. And this is the valid point that Desp referred to - the issue isn't primarily with our home support which, even in the good old days, hovered around the 4-5000 mark - but with the large travelling supports that followed most clubs (affordability, perhaps) - Killie had one of the biggest away supports outside the Old Firm in the 70's. Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen also had big away followings. The whole package of a ticket, travel and oblligatory cargo/bevvy, on a regular basis, has been taken beyond the means of average 'joe punter' and is unlikley ever to return. Oh and did I mention - 'live' football - it's killed football (long live Ernie Walker, Jim Farry and Rule 14). I have a nephew who happily announced to me earlier in the season, that he didn't want to go back to watch Scottish football, because English and European football was far better and he could watch from home - yet another lost to the game.

Books arrived this morning - great work. Already read from cover to cover. Very impressive piece of work, loved every minute of it. Huge well done to all who were involved.

Crap - see what happens when you live in the ' sticks' - I ain't got mine, but looking forward to it - great effort lads.

Sorry mate no excuses - for Imrie. Hasn't happened in previous games where they've won comfortably. Suddenly the shoe was on the other foot and he couldn't take it. He could have seriously injured someone today with his show of petulance. Seems like some on here who have had previous dealings with Imrie have been right - an arsehole of a player - and man.

Great cause lads - 4 ordered - looking forward to reading about some of my all-time heroes.

Hateley to sign for Thistle, oh wait maybe it's Wigan, nope....perhaps Dundee - according to BBC Gossip page lol.

Stuart Rennie came from Falkirk. Possibly Keith MacRae

Thanks Capt. Oh to do these gets while I'm in a bar full of them.

On the Costa Del Sol for this one, but as usual with the numbers of plastic paddies about there are plenty paddy pubs. Is this a tv game and which channel?

Cheers folks. Don't care what the tournament is get intae these Airdrie bastard's!!!!

Iain - on holiday at the moment but stick me down for £50.00 and I'll BT you shortly

Currently on holidays so apologies if I've missed something. Why would Leitch be returning is there a game coming up?

Great result so far.

And barely any of them deserved.

They're not even doing that - our result still hasn't shown on the round-up section of their on-line coverage - f....g tossers.

LOL - hadn't struck me they were in the same group. Hopefully now won't really matter a lot.

You've missed out St Mirren on 9 - reckon that makes us 6th !!!
