I remember the game v City at Tynie and Joe Corrigan flattening Colin Campbell at the Gorgie Rd end. The physio (could it have been the blessed and sacred Tam McNiven?) related afterwards that he had to stop him swallowing his tongue.

And Skol Lager. WTF happened to that? Wherever it went I'm glad it went where it did. Remember getting a pint of it in the Barony Bar one Saturday night in the lost early 80s and it tasted like egg ****ing rolls.

You got one of the decent pints then - only surpassed in horribleness by Kestrel.

You still get cans of Skol in Tesco. It is indeed vile stuff.

See, I keep a wee regard for Kestrel. It was my first under-age carry-oot. Khayyams on the corner of Albert Street and Easter Road.

I used to get free cans as my mate worked in S&N at Fountainbridge when it first came out. Appaling stuff.

I'm sure Kestrel has made a comeback and the new stuff is far stronger than the old 3% job. Never tried it so no idea what it's like but a couple of supermarkets took it on.

Can confirm the new Kestrel is awful. Didn't had the old one because I was too young

Skol skol skol skol
Funny how it has stuck as the skol cup even though they only sponsored the league cup for a short period.
Funny too that there's folk who dont know we actually won the league cup in 1991.

The competition we won in 1991 was the League Cup, same as 72, it had just been rebranded the Skol Cup as part of a sponsorship deal. Same as it would later become the Coca Cola Cup, CIS Cup and now Betfred Cup or our Cup is the William Hill Scottish Cup and was the Tennents Scottish Cup.

Only difference is in 1991 Skol decided to provide an additional trophy that was also presented to the winners, that wasn't a seperate competition just an extra trophy.

It's a good thread but this is the very best bit.

I saw some boy drinking a can of Kestrel Super Strength using a straw the other week. Sophisticated alkis down here in London.

In the course of the post match celebrations I was in a 'skol' pub and they had skol pennants around the walls.

when I awoke the next morning it transpired that I had acquired a roll of said pennants and turned them into a belt ,which I had been unable to remove before getting some much needed sleep.

A pair of scissors were required to get them off !!!

Bizarrely I had a can in Malaysia about 9 years ago - it was widely available over there!

Skol was nectar compared to Charger .......cheap gutrot with a King Billy lookalike on the can!!

Anyone know what players are going to be at ER on Saturday? Article I read said the majority would be in attendance. Really hope Budgie is there although I suspect he may be one who isn't given where he currently lives.
