Joe came back from Sunderland I believe. Just spent last 5 minutes why I love this thread for reminders of games like that game against Aberdeen.

Sorry - usually I've missed out by hours

[bigwheel]

I recall as a young kid reading about the return of Joe and the Bobby Clark record in the back pages. Also remember it was a cold day, sitting in the seated enclosure as Stanton then Baker scored...one of the games I recall well even at a young age....

I was one of the paltry 4,000 or so supporters at that Airdrie game in 1982*

I bet, despite his constant boasting about being one of the few Hibbies at badly attended games, even Hermit Crab wasn't at that one...








* Obviously I was only about two years old at the time... though I did go on the bus on my own :-)

I’ve a cutting somewhere of the fall out after that Falkirk game in 1981. They’d been accused of trashing the changing rooms and throwing food about. John Hagart (who later became a great colleague of mine) is quoted as saying he could “trust his players to have tea with the Queen”.

Any thoughts on what that structure on the main terracing is far to the left of the HT scoreboard, shown just after the 2nd goal? I’ve no recollection of it. About 35 seconds in.

Dunno what that is?

Reminds me of the wee Stand that they used to have at old Bayview where they had to keep wiping the condensation off the plastic covering

I have a vague memory it might have something to do with the old railway siding/line that was once behind the stadium.

Edit: No. It can't be, it's too high.

Is the structure in question not the gents toilets at the back of the terrace, had an advertising hoarding on its roof. It is just where the "extra" bit of terrace begins

Not as I recall and it doesn’t look like advertising. The toilets never had as much as a roof to my memory.

There was a toilet there, but I'm sure there was a wee snack bar at some point as well.

It might be my imagination but isn't it a sign saying 'Refreshments'?






p.s. Just had another look and I'm talking utter crap (as per).




The Refreshments stand was much lower down and that sign is FAR too big.

I am sure I remember that the game was so bad that the fans that had bothered to turn up were giving it pelters most of the game and even the late winner didn’t prevent the team getting booed off.

Sure that Falkirk draw was the McGinn ''dive'' game where we had a stonewall pen denied and that fud houston called him a diver.

Brog my cousin played in the same team as Ian, Clermiston YMCA. They played in all green strip shorts etc.
I used to go and watch them now n again and remember being at Saughton enclosure when they defeated a team called Qoin Thistle in a cup final
Qoin Thistle were a Catholic Youth club ? and I remember my cousin getting a kick out of beating them as he was a good Catholic boy and being ex St John Vianney and Tony's !

My dad and Ian's dad ran the Clery YMCA Team. Ian was always hard but fair. There were some bad tackles that day by East Fife players but the one that broke John Brownlies leg was not one of them.

It’s definitely not the pie stand so you’re eventually right on that Keith. And the toilets were just a couple of block walls with a trough! I think Jonnyboys take is maybe the one with legs.

Id forgotten all about those toilets. To call them basic would be an understatement!

Were the toilets not right beside the turnstiles at the bottom of the stairs. So at HT you had to hoof down to car park level, try not to drown in urine and then hoof back up to the terrace all within the 15 break. Then find your mates or get back to where you were standing.
