Agreed - looked pink from any sort of distance. They had the last laugh though IIRC as they won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely 89-90, can't say for sure the score but think Craig's right, 0-1 if the brain's still functioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 20139 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) During the divi 2 run in that ended with that wish should not be named but did us more good than harm in the long run... Was at this a couple of weeks later in the home end 😱 I think a young @Howmanheyman was lucky enough to get a ticket in the away section .. Quinn was playing on one leg, Scotty scored after 10 mins which is a fuckin long time to keep quiet 😆 Edited 8 hours ago by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 38636 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Must've been the season KK took over they beat us, sure they had a similar strip? Think it was one of the games in a bad run after KK's good start where we went to shit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting mixed up with the game 2 seasons later where they wore an equally garish kit.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn was playing on one leg, Scotty scored after 10 mins which is a fuckin long time to keep quiet 😆 The game where Dillon put the icing on his season's cake by running from the half way line all on his lonesome then ran straight towards the keeper before forgetting to either round him or chip him or touch the ball away before trying to get a free kick/pen/sending off. Went to quite a few away games that year but missed the very few victories until this one where I really didn't fancy our chances after bull put four away at SJP on NYD. When the useless mackem bastard fluffed that chance to make it two and seal the win I feared the worst but we improbably held on for the win. 1 hour ago, Craig said: Absolutely ridiculous, wasn't it?

I remember him going on a run in one game towards the Gallowgate, one on one with a keeper and promptly sticking his laces through it and it soaring high over the top of the gallowgate terrace. Fuck me he was useless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit hole of a ground Me too, only thing I remember about it is a load of Edinburgh lads around us, a policeman saying to one of us 'cant take banner t'match' and us doing impressions of him all day, and Quinny equalising in a shit game where an ex-smoggie scored called Curry. Oh aye, how could I forget? Was on the terrace early and saw a rusty wheelbarrow full of pies in it being wheeled across the the away end towards a hut/kiosk. (I gave them a miss tbh).

Craig 7944 Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Fucking hell I'm glad I arrived too late to witness the pies. The coach got held up by the police as we were coming into Barnsley IIRC. The ground was marginally better than Hull's shit hole - remember standing there freezing to fucking death in the FAC 3rd Round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
