El Grew Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Half-time at FP - Motherwell 0 V Dunfermline 2 and we are in deep doodoo in this relegation battle. End of game Motherwell 3 V Dunfermline 2 - a Stevie Cowan hat-trick. The cry around FP - "He's fat, he's round he's worth a million pounds" Priceless.

Richie Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Seem to remember Paul Smith scoring an overhead kick against someone. May have made that up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Cleland scored an overhead kick at Clydebank I think (when we beat them 7 - 1 at Kilbowie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandluc Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 '' You won't see many free kicks hit much harder than that'' Andy Gray (Iain Ferguson for Well v celtic semi 91). Poor grammar, but all the better for it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 86 I think. Was working a student job beside a Celtic supporter. 2 - 0 down without playing badly. Great comeback. Walker's goal set up by a cracking reverse pass from Martin (if my memory isn't playing tricks). Gahagan missed a great chance in extra time with a weak shot straight at the keeper. Softy hit the underside of the square bar with his pen. Round bar and it would probably have gone in. EDIT: No idea why I wrote Martin! I was thinking Smith - but could be wrong. EDIT EDIT: If you can bear it, a report is on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Have to admit, I was close to tears leaving Hampden that night. Football verges on child cruelty at times! Walker's shimmy was outrageous. Bonner just threw himself out the way to leave an open goal. Edit: something very strange happened there with my attempt to quote!

Ped_MFC Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Memory might be playing tricks on me but think the pass to Walker was from another midfield maestro, Brian Wright. I do remember Walker and Smudger giving Celtic a torrid time at FP around the same time. Finished 1-1 but took an amazing fingertip save from Bonnar to stop us winning it.

weeyin Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Memory might be playing tricks on me but think the pass to Walker was from another midfield maestro, Brian Wright. That's the name I was struggling for. I knew it was a 'Brian'! It's terrible when you get old and start forgetting - another Senior Moment. I remember the pass as clear as day, though, and the dummy. They used to say about Charlie Cooke "When Charlie sold you a dummy you had to pay to get back into the stadium" - and Walker's dummy was as good as that. Pity he turned into such an eejit on the telly because he was a great young player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatcalf Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 What was that Archie McPherson one? Think it was Joe Carson again he was describing when he said something like "STretches out that long left leg, although that's not to say his right leg is any shorter than his left, just that it looked that way at that point" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tid Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Celtic semi-final in '91 Maxwell saved a skiter of a shot & Jock Brown came out with "that must have been like saving a bar of soap" & Andy Gray (I think) came out with some gash like "that was even more difficult than catching a bar of soap, cos it's round & bobbling all the way" he was a slevering c*nt even back in they days............

Andy_P Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Talking of Andy Gray I'm sure he refers to Rowan Alexander as Rowan Atkinson at least once during the commentary of our Scottish Cup Quarter Final with Morton that Sky or BSB or whatever they were at the time.

Talking of Andy Gray I'm sure he refers to Rowan Alexander as Rowan Atkinson at least once during the commentary of our Scottish Cup Quarter Final with Morton that Sky or BSB or whatever they were at the time. Must admit, I liked Andy Gray's commentary back then. And McCoist's co-commentary on the cup final was good too - he was that excited it was like one of us commentating ( almost!) .......in fact, didn't he coin the phrase '' as brave as a lion'' when Phil headed his goal?

Haggischomper Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Spoke with McCoist and Gray after the game. Gray said it was a "Grrrrreat game" and, as we proceeded to give McCoist pelters about Rangers not being there he said "I was on your side, lads".
