Jimmy Superscot Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 9 hours ago, skygod said: There was no league competition when QP were in their pomp so it's a tad unfair to penalise them on account of having no league championships. I seem to remember from Go Fame that QP and Killie held out against the new league as it was a representation of all that is bad in professionalism. We held out for a few more years but finally gave in, but QP stuck to their guns and are still amateur today. Not sure when they eventually agreed to join the league though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best mates a Hibee who gives me stick all the time so glad to get him in before we play them It's certainly the most excited I've seen the support since Burns was the manager. If we as a support can get 50% of the momentum we had with TB then we'll be in a good place. I know it's different times, with different circumstances but the support under TB was a special time. I remember Pittodrie in our first away game back in the top flight. Must have had 1500+ up there and we basically sang Tommy Burns Blue n White army the full game. Lost 1-0 to a Paul Kane cracker but the togetherness of the support was immense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Remember that game well. Aberdeen were still a big team then. I had to sit 3 to a seat all the way up there. Changed days for our supporters club! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the result was a travesty but our next game was away to fortress GreySkull. I can still see McSkimming accelerating past the defender and wee Marko meeting the cross squarely to leave Ipox all but silent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
