Semi Nurainen Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Furthest left - too indistinct; don't know the moustachioed guy; then Bobby Gray (I think he had an uncle of the same name who played for us); then one of the Hansens, probably John; Johnny Gibson?; ALex Rae obviously.

I also immediately thought Alex Forsyth. I don't remember Ralston with a moustache... Furthest back on the left, I thought Charlie Smith, or possibly Ronnie Glavin.

That was in the days when people still shouted things like 'Play up, the bully wee Clyde!' at football matches! And fans chanted parodies of Gilbert and Sullivan arias on the terraces!! Everybody wore a hat. And smoked . I still remember the mixed aromas of hot Bovril, meat pies and old men's pipes (© Finbar Saunders!) in the old wooden stand on midweek nights at reserve games (before I was allowed to see the 'big team'). Probably the worst insult you would hear was something like 'Away ye go, ya big lump o' wid'! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 The smell used to be trapped in the void just under the stairs where the pie shop was, when people stood about a half time. Always a reserve game, I don't know why. Just after the smoking ban was introduced, there was a trend, especially in the 'old men's pubs', where you suddenly noticed the stink of p1sh from the toilets. The smoke had camouflaged it for years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 The Dunfermline player on the right looks familiar. Wonder what ever happened to him. Struggling with the Jags players. If the hair was fairer on the nearest Jag i'd say it was Cunningham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Frank Coulston and Arthur Duncan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Agreed. My guess would be Frank Coulston and Arthur Duncan. Possibly Roy Barry on the left. Looks like Alex Ferguson on the right but he's not listed in the Glasgow Herald line-up. 13/4/1968. Lost 1-2. Niven, Campbell, West, O'Neill, McKinnon, Gibb, T RAE, Roxburgh, Coulston, Flanagan, Duncan. The match saw some weak refereeing by Mr Mullan of Dalkeith and Thistle were outmuscled. The only highlight was a dribble by Flanagan when he beat 3 men and set up RAE for the goal (15). Dunfermline equalised (T CALLAGHAN, 33) and a 35-yarder (EDWARDS, 82) won the points.

ausjag Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Showing my age here, was at the Celtic 0 ; 2 Jags game at Parkhead. Massive thistle support turned up. Standing outside the away end to get in when a huge cheer went up, thought we were down a goal until heads with red and yellow scarves appeared shouting we had scored. Shuffling towards the turnstiles another Huge cheer, despair setting in, they have equalised, but no, heads appear again with red and yellow scarves, we were two up. When we finally got in the rest of the game was rather ordinary the only thing else I can remember is Yogi Bear falling over his own boots on the Jags goal line and not scoring. The North Terrace has had a roof over it from the first day my dad took me to Firhill. I think they were building something or doing renovations as I spent most of the time playing in a sand and crushed rock site with other little kids. I think it was about 1949. And the last game I attended, when still living in Glasgow it still had a roof. That was early 1964. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle4celtic1 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Seeing the Thistle-Dunfermline photo just brought to mind that the Pars had one of the many really good Scandinavian imports around this time. I can't for the life of me recall his name and now it's driving me nuts. Was it Berg ? Anyone recall him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 There was Mogens Berg who played for Dundee United 64-69. No record of him playing for Dunfermline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
