It was indeed a Monday. I remember the Gers fans there to support us in their, at the time, fashionable red and white bar scarves. Great night and great to get one over Hibs chairman, Tom Hart if I recall, who insisted we play the game despite our flu problems. Also, Joe Wark played the very next night at Hampden for the Scottish League team against the English equivalent.

Thanks for reminding me. Haw, Broon. GIRFUY

1985/86 drew 1-1 home and away then had to play, the next night after our replay, at Tannadice and won 2-0.

very rough quick glance I reckon 16 home to 31 away including United to come from 2000/01.

We haven't beaten Rangers in a cup match since March 1961 (the great 5-2 win at Ibrox) and have only 5 wins in 33 cup games against them. I can't see any reason why this should be any different from the usual disappointment but its gotta happen sometime. 50 years is long enough.

I could tell you last week's

Doncaster should offer to resign if he has any decency.

So the club decide not to appeal because they are told the red card was for foul and abusive language. Fine if that was the case but tv evidence clearly shows the referee wasn't reacting at all until he was touched and then he brandished the card. After the game he says it was for foul language leaving us unable to provide evidence in our defence. Bastard has got us stitched up like a kipper.

If the refs want to make it a straight red for being touched then every club should be informed of this and we know where we stand. They can't just make it up to suit themselves.

And he will...but watch it closely and its clearly for being touched.

If you can get sent off for touching a ref then the game is over. It's quite clear watching the replays that the referee does not react to any verbals but reacts to being touched and brandishes the red card. He couldn't wait to do it. Respect is a two way street and has to be earned. tonight, from our point of view, it wasn't. Sadly the referee will make up some report to try and cover what is clearly an abysmal decision.

2/1 Rickoza to vomit on live telly 1/50 Me to steal something...ooh, that's nice.

Except we didn't get a soft penalty, a huge chunk of Murphy's shirt was being hauled and I don't know how Hibs players had the audacity to complain about it. And for once Dougie McDonald was perfectly positioned.

15,857 Capacity then was 31000 so the ground was 357 over half full! And we were not struggling, as the clip says. At the time of the game we were comfortably fifth of ten teams.

Court jester, although with plain shorts it might have been almost okay.

Stewart McLaren?

The amount of (over)confidence in this thread worries me. I'll take a scrappy single goal victory but a draw wouldn't surprise me.

Don't forget we also had four Anglo Scottish games in 75/6 taking that total to 52. Stuart Rennie played in every game. In 86/7, a 44 league game season, we played 52 games with four in each of the cups. Paul Smith and Fraser Wishart played in every game. We also played 52 games in 72/3 (34 + 10 League Cup, 2 Scottish and 6 Texaco) and that seems to be our maximum for a season.

Do a Nancy to them. An early goal, or two, could kill this game off. Go at them full pelt for the first 15 or 20.

1) in a single match, yes. 2) no, Dvali of Zestaponi got one in the first round second leg. 3) Ross Forbes was only player to get two yellows. Is it two or three for suspension?

75 lovely earth pounds in the post this morning. Delicious.

I hope to God not but, Keigan Parker has been released by Oldham.

Sutton 14 Forbes 9

I used to think that Motherwell 5-4 Kilmarnock in the 70's was the best game I've ever seen. That may just have been beaten. Okay, the defending from both teams was shit but if football was like that every week we'd gladly pay twenty pound plus for it.
