a f kincaid Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Why do you always give us the easy ones?! No idea other than Hearts at Firhill. Impressed that the ball boys are limbering up! Dark blue top with white thistle suggests it's before the rule was changed that away teams had to change to avoid a colour clash. Post-round floodlights. Pre-removal of the "telegraph poles" behind the goals. Unless there were umpteen sendings off, there must something like 6 players out of the picture down the Thistle left.

a f kincaid Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ah, the red jerseys looking maroon threw me. Looks like the Summer Cup semi-final 1st leg 23 May 1964. 11,064 saw Thistle waste numerous chances. Cunningham scored when he prodded in a Hainey cut-back but Aberdeen looked as if they were confident for the 2nd leg. Niven, Muir, Gibb, Davis, Harvey, Staite, Cowan, CUNNINGHAM, Hainey Duffy McParland. The 2nd leg was 4 days later despite a typhoid scare in the city. Thistle were unchanged except for Kerr (Ronnie) replacing Hainey. Duffy equalised 13 mins into the 2nd half then Harvey missed a penalty. 2 late goals, 82 and 89 saw Aberdeen through to the final. They drew with Hibs 4-4 on aggregate but lost a replay 3-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I don't mind refs wearing white tops that often back then. There were no subs but those two have all the appearance of limbering up ready to come one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Think the Citizen's caption is wrong. Looks like Bobby Gray, not Hansen. Other players narrow it down to either:- 23/11/1968 0-4 in the league. Ritchie, Campbell, McLindon, McParland, Gray, Hansen, Cunningham, Flanagan, Divers, Bone, Duncan. (Cumming) or 25/1/1969 3-3 in the Scottish Cup. Ritchie, Campbell, Gray, Hansen, McKinnon, O'Neill, McLindon, McParland, FLANAGAN, BONE (2), Duncan. Leaving the shed at full-time (no segregation) your correspondent was threatened by one of the greatest fans in the world who pulled out a knife. Fortunately his mate made him see sense and said something about murdering us in the replay - but we won't go into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
