Ten Caat Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 4 minutes ago, Arthur FN Shelby said: Didn’t play for ‘them’ so he never got a shout. Was too slow for international football, was also a big old unit who wasn't overly enamoured with training. Did start out with Celtic but they sold him off cheaply to Morton aged 21 and that's where he spent most of his career. Moved to Motherwell for a (very) short spell and then had even shorter spells at 3 lower league clubs lasting only a few weeks at each before retiring aged only 29. If he couldn't get a move to a club bigger than Morton (at that time Motherwell were really no bigger than them) it's difficult to see how he could break into a Scotland team that were qualifying for World Cups consistently Link to comment

The money back then wasn’t fantastic either, probably much same as the average Joe plus wee bit more. More of an ‘ ordinary ‘ life compared to now with the £thousands per week. Link to comment

Every chance the gay loon for bonnyrig smashes home a hat trick to knock us out today Have they got a pet poof? Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Kieran something? Seems to be a bit of a local legend from non league days. Big bustling striker. Wind up merchant. Link to comment
RDS Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Patrick and Livi in extra time. Livi came back to 2-2 from 2-0 down. Kieran Ngwenya on loan from us came on couple minutes from end of normal time for Partick Link to comment

a don in oz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Home draw hopefully again. Livvie or Morton would be nice. Funny if we end up at Morton and Warnock can ... kiss his brick or whatever it is. 😵 Link to comment
Dynamo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Feel like if we're going to win it we could do with putting out rangers or Celtic at Pittodrie. Rather get them at home that at Hampden. 1 Link to comment

We knocked out Celtic early on in 2008 and 2014 only to lose semi finals against QOTS and St Johnstone. And I would say our 2008 and 2014 teams were better than we are now. I have zero belief in this squad being able to take home a Scottish Cup. 1 Link to comment

Johnnyred1 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 If you had told me after beating Alloa on penalties at home in the league cup that we would go on to win it, I would have had you committed. Miracles in football happen. Link to comment

Fingers crossed for a favourable draw and odds on for a trip to Hampden in mid April Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 If we have ambitions of winning the cup this year I'd welcome Celtic/Huns at home... more chance of beating them now, than at Hampden. Saying that, I'd settle for anywhere but Cappielow... just gives folk ammunition to dredge up stuff that should be left in the past. Link to comment
