3 teams from the same city

[rupertdabear]

Belfast - linfield, crusaders and glentoran

and red scum makes 4
oops i didn't read the op s thread ....one's we have played ..... only read the title when i replied
was the crus match competitive ,i remember being up at a testimonial for big kirk hunter .
come to think of it ,were any of them competitive

 

[ScotiaPapac]

Leith. Original Hibs, the Hibs that died in the early 90s, and the current club calling themselves Hibs.

 

[glasgowiron]

Got to admit that I am also very surprised that we've never played Olympiakos before

I always find it surprising that we've never played against Lazio or Roma in a Euro competition considering the amount of times we've faced Italian opposition.

That would be a trip and a half.

 

[Valladolid_Loyal]

Madrid has many clubs, a bit like London.

At Madrid.
Real Madrid
Rayo vallecano
Leganés
Fuenlabrada
Getafe.
Rayo Majadahonda
Alcorcón

 

[LongLostSon]

Might have played Hibs, Hearts and Meadowbank Thistle

We have played competitively against six teams from Edinburgh.

Hearts
Hibs
Meadowbank Thistle
Edinburgh City (the original version) - January 1929, winning 11-1 in the Scottish Cup
St Bernards - 1890s in the Scottish Cup and League
Leith Athletic - 1890s in the League

Might be more.

 

[Beanzie]

Have we ever played the 3 Inverness teams? Obviously we have played Caley Thistle and in the past played Clachnacluddin, but did we ever play Caley or Thistle before they merged?

 

[bigy]

Is Prague not 4 teams?

Dukla Prague, Slavia, Sparta and Zizkov?

 

[DonDraper]

6 if you include Clydebank,and Third Lanark

Clydebanks not in Glasgow

 

[DonDraper]

Tranmere Rovers fans won't like that

Correct!

 

[Blue As]

I couldn’t remember their name. I knew Braga and Porto weren’t Lisbon based. Have we played any other teams from Lisbon?

You maybe thinking of Boavista who we played in 1986.
They are Portugese but come from Porto

 

[ao2]

4 for Glasgow, Clyde

We played Third Lanark many times before their demise too.

 

[Blue As]

Is it their stadium which is right at the top of the hill, you can get to it by cable car?

I think there were two stadiums as we past one on the way to the game thinking that was where we were playing but the bus took us to another stadium.
2004

 

[Barca Bear]

And Queens Park

And third lanark

 

[Oranje]

6 if you include Clydebank,and Third Lanark

Clydebank is technically not Glasgow if you want to be pedantic.

 

[LongLostSon]

We played Third Lanark many times before their demise too.

If you go back to the 1880-1910 period, we played scores of Glasgow teams - Battlefield, Pollokshields Athletic, Govan Athletic, Jordanhill, King's Park etc etc etc.

Loads - I'll research this when I get time.

 

[Business_Bear]

Was going to suggest Athens but don't think we've played Olympiakos?

 

[jimbear]

Edinburgh. Hearts, Hibs and St Bernards for definite. I'm uncertain if we ever played Leith Athletic or Meadowbank Thistle on past occasions.

 

[gers1978]

Correct they’re from Funchal in Madeira, 600 miles away from Lisbon.

Utterly tremendous wee city, went there as part of a 7 day Canaries cruise, CR7's home town, own's a museum/hotel dedicated to himself right at the port with a statue of him outside it! Tremendous behaviour, that kind of conduct is to be admired

 

[NE Cornerbear]

Inverness?

Inverness Clachnacuddin
Inverness Thistle
Inverness Caledonian

Before mergers of course.

 

[LongLostSon]

Edinburgh. Hearts, Hibs and St Bernards for definite. I'm uncertain if we ever played Leith Athletic or Meadowbank Thistle on past occasions.

We first played Leith Athletic competitively in the league October 3rd 1891 at Bank Park, Leith beat us 3-1. The return fixture was at the First Ibrox Park, Rangers won 3-2 on March 19th 1892.

Meadowbank Thistle - we played them for the first time in the League Cup semi final at Ibrox, September 26th 1984 and won 4-0. The return was two weeks later, 1-1 at Tynecastle.

 

[DonDraper]

Clydebank is technically not Glasgow if you want to be pedantic.

It’s not in Glasgow so it’s not being pedantic

 

[EverGer]

Aye okay Eratosthenes (look it up)

Look what up? Birkenhead is not in Liverpool.

 

[LongLostSon]

Inverness?

Inverness Clachnacuddin
Inverness Thistle
Inverness Caledonian

Before mergers of course.

And therefore 4 sides from Inverness!

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

Might have played Hibs, Hearts and Meadowbank Thistle

We played Meadowbank Thistle in the two legged League Cup Final in 1984 at Tynecastle. 1-1, won the first leg 4-0 at Ibrox.
Was at both games….
Old Git Loyal….

 

[bigy]

Copenhagen - Lyngby, Brondby, FC Copenhagen?

 

[Bluenose_bear]

No all friendlies. It was the kirk Hunter testimonial I was thinking of with the crues. I was at it. Think it was the first game we wore our first nike strip

 

[auldyin]

They might not but they are in Birkenhead which everybody counts as Liverpool

Is Gibraltar in North Africa?

 

[Bobby Russell]

Why would you include West Brom?

That's like saying "Glasgow, if you include St Mirren"

Don't think it is. I'm sure West Bromwich does actually come under the city boundaries of Birningham. It used to anyway.

 

[warfieldranger]

That's the Dublin variant.

Oops!

 

[stevenma]

If we ever draw Besiktas, then Istanbul.
Pretty sure we've played Dukla Prague in the past, so with the sparta and slavia scum recently there's another.
London we'd likely need Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham in competition.
Madrid would be Getafe and Atletico?

Getafe is a separate town on outskirts of Madrid. Madrid would be Atletico and Lighting Vallecano

 

[Orange Peel]

Might have played Hibs, Hearts and Meadowbank Thistle

Definitely.
I was at Tynecastle in the 80's when we played Meadowbank during the week there in a midweek game.

 

[Big Joke New]

Utterly tremendous wee city, went there as part of a 7 day Canaries cruise, CR7's home town, own's a museum/hotel dedicated to himself right at the port with a statue of him outside it! Tremendous behaviour, that kind of conduct is to be admired

Just back from a week there. Museum is excellent. Funchal is brilliant but you really need to like hills!

 

[Big Joke New]

Is Gibraltar in North Africa?

No - Is Northern Ireland in the UK?

 

[auldyin]

No - Is Northern Ireland in the UK?

Yes and Birkenhead is NOT in Liverpool

 

[Big Joke New]

Look what up? Birkenhead is not in Liverpool.

Aye ok - how many people have you met who say they're from Birkenhead?

 

[Big Joke New]

Yes and Birkenhead is NOT in Liverpool

Jeesus there's always one

 

[auldyin]

Jeesus there's always one

Is Port Sunlight in Liverpool

 

[mfgorm]

There are other teams from Glasgow we've played, Cowlairs for sure.

 

[gers1978]

Yes and Birkenhead is NOT in Liverpool

On a similar note nearly everything single thing that comes to mind when you think "Las Vegas" is NOT in Las Vegas.

And most things you think of when you think "Mexican food" are from Texas, not Mexico.

 

[vinnie]

Didn’t know we’d played Besiktas?

The BJK Derby?

 

[gers1978]

Aye ok - how many people have you met who say they're from Birkenhead?

Birkenhead has a bigger population than Paisley and doesn't actually border Liverpool, whereas Paisley borders Glasgow. How many people have you met who say they're from Paisley?

 

[strathavenbear]

I always find it surprising that we've never played against Lazio or Roma in a Euro competition considering the amount of times we've faced Italian opposition.

That would be a trip and a half.

Probably be a bit quieter these days, but I'd expect a trip to Rome would be eventful.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Sparta, Slavia and Dukla.

Viktoria Ziskov too.

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

We played Meadowbank Thistle in the two legged League Cup Final in 1984 at Tynecastle. 1-1, won the first leg 4-0 at Ibrox.

Sorry should have read League Cup Semi Final

 

[GovanFront4]

Madrid has many clubs, a bit like London.

At Madrid.
Real Madrid
Rayo vallecano
Leganés
Fuenlabrada
Getafe.
Rayo Majadahonda
Alcorcón

Been to a Rayo Vallecano game, beat Levante 4-2 and me and my mates were on the highlights shown on Spanish telly

 

[Blaew]

[EverGer]

My mum.

 

[gers1978]

Aye ok - how many people have you met who say they're from Birkenhead?

Just all the ones that are from Birkenhead.

 

[Sly Stone]

We played Meadowbank Thistle in the two legged League Cup Final in 1984 at Tynecastle. 1-1, won the first leg 4-0 at Ibrox.

Me too....

 

[cskasofia]
