  1. Annoying thing about him was that, just occasionally, he would beat a couple of players and curl one right into the postage stamp corner. *Very* occasionally, mind. Possibly even just once
  2. I seem to remember Mair being the Kevin McBride of his day: a handy enough, if not exactly world-class winger until he was on the wrong end of a horrendous tackle in front of the main stand one day (can't remember who the culprit was, but I could hear the crack of splintering shinpads from the East Stand!), and lost all his confidence after that. Before he joined us, he'd scored a decent number of goals for Notts County in the (old, proper) English First Division, including one in a 3-1 win over Ipswich Town who finished second to Liverpool that year, so he was certainly no donkey, in his day. He even played alongside Martin O'Neill and Don Masson in that team for a while
  3. Controversially, I'd say much the same about Sieb Dykstra not being John Gardiner Big Sieb never struck me as a particularly outstanding keeper at the time, although he certainly had other cult hero characteristics.
  4. I think that'll probably where it falls down, sadly... especially away from home, we're not likely to be putting in some of our better performances, and I'd guess a lot of them aren't going to be worth revisiting. Maybe a better idea would be to save up the videos of our more successful outings, and show them over the summer months (maybe in conjunction with World Cup games?), when the club wouldn't normally be getting any income from punters at all?

    24 shots on target between the two teams suggests the highlights didn't really paint the whole picture, then.

    Typical, go to empty the dishwasher and miss two goals!

    And Aberdeen hit the post just as the ref blows for HT.

    O'Brien with another half-decent chance after some good pressure... straight at the keeper this time.

    Another good chance for us there on the counter... Sutton fails to take advantage this time.

    Sutton scores, 1-0 !! Rebound from O'Brien shot.

    Derek Young slices a poor Hately cross onto his own crossbar...

    Lasley late tackle again... he'll need to watch himself.

    Aberdeen

    Wee spell of pressure here, couple of corners in quick succession. Ends with Craigan slicing it high and wide...

    Motherwell looking "disjointed"...
  15. Next step: make the feed available on the interweb for people outside the UK. For a small fee of course. Please!

  17. Big shouts for a 'Well penalty there!

    Fraser Wishart. (Vaguely interesting aside: according to Wikipedia, he scored 5 league goals in his first stint with us, but never scored any more until after he'd left us for the second time eight years later to join Clydebank.)

  20. Ah, right. So he should be "The Jute", then...
  21. But then us auld yins would miss out on the John Wayne throwback reference.
  22. Looks like a sair one alright, could've been worse though! http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/s...o-my-groin.html
  23. If you can show them the wrecked one, and it's recognisable as a current season ticket, I can't see why they'd have any objection to swapping it for a new one. (You might have to put up with it having a different seat number on it for the rest of the season, right enough.)
