madscot Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The Well back in the premier league v the h**s , think we were 2-0 down and came back to get a draw. Maybe 1982? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelBoyd Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Do your posts ever make fuckin sense????? Jinked into aberdeen to see the sheep get rammed a fourth time Anyway, opening day memory? Belter of a game last year at Tynecastle, pity about the outcome, as with the Malpish season against Rangers (uncle Phil equalised in front of the cooper) hopefully tomorrow will be one to remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shallow Dave Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 1st August 1998- a 1-0 home win over St Johnstone then into Glasgow to see the delgados play at The Mitchell Theatre as part of ten day weekend. The first of many times that I saw that great band and I didn't know at the time that Alun, Hendy and Barzo were 'Well fans. All in all, an excellent day. Bumped into Barzo at Central Low Level after the 2-1 Sellic CIS semi defeat in 2006 and he was equally gutted about the manner of that defeat.

casey Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 90/91 2-0 at home to Celtic. Dubcheck sent off and McNeil losing it with Kirkie at half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Having been relegated from the old First Division in 1968 we bounced right back at the first time of asking. Our opening game was against Kilmarnock. We won 1-0 courtesy of a Dixie Deans goal. It was a brilliant sunny day. The highlights were on BBC that night. What better way to start a season. We had a great first season back - reached the semi-final of the League Cup and finished only 6 points off 4th spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellTiliDie Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The 4-4 game against Celtic 4 years ago when we came back from 3 nil down to 4-3 then Beattie scored late on. Was on holiday at the time in France but can mind listening to it in an Irish bar going mad at every goal we got that day. Hopefully we'll take all 3 points tomorrow though. Mon the Well!!!!!!

Special aka Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Couple of landmarks here ....... 1975/76 season saw the new Premier League kick-off in Scotland. We drew 1-1 at home to Ayr Utd in front of over 5,000. I proudly wore my new doc martens, one amber lace and one claret lace , Brutus jeans with cheesecloth shirt, one scarf tied round wrist and other in knott round neck Sure that was when the fence went up in the Shed too. League used to start at end of August, after 6 League Cup section games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casey Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 wasn't sure ............ so long ago and I was so young then Think the main reason the fence was put up was after the trouble at Hibs and Hearts games that season, especially Hibs in the cup with 20,000 there and only a few cops to seperate them.

Yir Elder Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 The 1-0 win at Paisley 2 years ago in Dingus' first game was great, gave us all such optimism for the year ahead. Who remembers Stevie Nicholas' injury time equaliser at Easter Road in '99?!! Tremendous! Ten years before that you had Cusack almost in the terracing behind the goal to celebrate his debut equaliser at Tannadice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 a lot of legislation came into place round about then, safety at sport stadiums act, local council safety certificates, etc., 2 new rows of crash barriers were constructed at the same time fence went up I think, and they blocked off access to the back of the Shed - a favourite battle ground on match day. OB really didn't have a clue back then did they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I've seen a few opening days come and go now so plenty to think back on. Highlight would probably be the 2-0 win over Celtic at Fir Park in 1990 on a roasting hot day in the Sun. One of the last occasions you could celebrate a win over the Old Firm in the Shed on a terracing. I remember the Dunfermline game at East End too, getting stuck in roadworks at Edinburgh and getting there close to if not just after kick-off but in good time to see a comfortable 2-0 with a cheeky wee back heeler from Tommy Coyne. Although we lost I mind us taking in what must have been around 3000 to Ibrox for the opening day of the 1994'95 season and being robbed again by dodgy officials. Some of the worst were actually days where I've not been able to make it. When it comes to the opening day there's always a bit of childlike enthusiasm on the go and to be champing at the bit and be stuck in the house when the season starts is a bit soul destroying. Here's hoping for the day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellarmy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 My first opening day match we lost a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2 with celtic. I think Arnott scored, maybe got the two goals. Slater(who?) got the first for Celtic. It was the season we finished 3rd. Even being young the game was amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
