The outbreak of the Second World War caused immediate abandonment of the Scottish League and threw the sporting world into chaos.Whilst regional leagues were later organised once it became clear that the Germans were unlikely to invade,cup football was a different matter altogether.In late 1939 the SFA annonced the introduction of the Emergency War Cup,which would figure a two-legged first round then a straight knockout for the rest of the competition.

1998 - Another Bjorklund and Goram calamity, Durie collapses on the pitch and we drop yet another two points in the title race.

2001 - Three missed penalties. Sara missed 2 for Dundee, Dodds stuck one by the post for us. Bert smashes home a free kick for the winner

2002 - Was live on the BBC. Arveladze scores and gets injured in the process.

1998 A howler by Any Goram for their goal, and the night Gordon Durie gave us all a fright when he played on after a head knock then collapsed.

2001 was that game on pay per view tv?

2001 was that game on pay per view tv?

NTL chipped boxes got it for free.

2011 - Thought we were out when they scored to make it 2-1 inside the last 10 minutes, then got that goal in injury time. Edu scored but I think Lafferty and Papac were both ready to tap it in as well

Mendes scored the first goal for Sporting

1998 - my first away game

 

[Blue As]

2011, hardly in the game till Steven Davies played a great ball across and Diouf scored with a header.Heading out till Foster shows some fancy footwork andplays it across and Edu slots it home right at the death,bedlam amongst the Bears..
Another great trip..

1973-Pat Stanton's incredible miss at the Copland Rd end sticks in the mind.
2017- ICT bottom of the league. At 1-1 Foderingham produces a great penalty kick save on 88 minutes to scrape a point. Then we still contrive to lose a goal from an overhead kick! Grim.

1973 - Gates closed at Copland Road, Quick sprint round to Broomloan Road end,my old granda was puggled..lol.
