PauloPerth Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I think there must be a thread such as this already; I had a quick search but couldn't see one. If there is, can someone please point me in the right direction and we can bin this one. On Pie and Bovril there is a thread on football grounds etc with loads of cracking pictures from days gone by. It got me looking back at old videos online from matches at Muirton, and I thought it would be good to have many of them in one thread for everyone to view. If anyone has old pictures/ videos of their own then it would be great to see them. Similarly, if any of the older fans have stories or recollections of any of the games featured then please feel free to share them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Similarly, if any of the older fans have stories or recollections of any of the games featured then please feel free to share them. Hopefully just sticking to actual football stories. Great idea for a thread Paulo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 A painful one I'm sure for those that remember it. Interesting to hear Dundee have a song where we feature on the second line.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanamaSaint Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) The 3-3 Rangers game is one of only two games I have actually cried tears of either joy or disappointment. The second one being May 17. Though I did have a big lump in my throat reading of Ian Redford´s death decades later.

PauloPerth Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 The replay victory over Morton set up a Scottish Cup semi-final with Rangers at Celtic Park. Part-time first division Saints taking on multi-million pound Souness' millionaires. Without our best player at the time, Stevie Maskrey who had been brutally hacked down and injured by Bobby Glennie of Raith Rovers a week or two earlier.

PauloPerth Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 9000 Saints fans packed into half the terracing behind the goal. A ground with capacity 60,000 packed to the rafters, and the official attendance given as 47,000 I think it was.. Coltrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 1991 Scottish Cup Semi-Final at East End Park, Dunfermline. A certain goal saved on the line by a Utd player's arm meant we were beaten 2-1; I'm certain that Duncan Ferguson was offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
