Re: Extra time in Scottish Cup ties
Another factor in deciding if extra time was played in cup-ties, was the travel arrangements for the away team returning home. Specifically train timetables. There are several instances of teams refusing to play an apparently previously agreed period of extra time because they would miss their train...

The best primary resource for Scottish football history on the internet. The rest of the site is a gold mine as well. One querie, on the site, one of Leitch Keir's caps for Scotland, he is listed as playing for Renton. It is clear from the SDA pages, Jim McAllister's Sons of the Rock book, and also ...

I hope this true story gives you a wee laugh. During Euro 2000, England lost to Portugal, I was on a ship with Portuguese crew. They were all overjoyed. A few days later, the motorman had been on the phone to his girlfriend, and he was telling me in the control room that after the game everyone in h...

I would agree with 'scottish', difficult to find a name similar to Galloway from "The Sons of the Rock" book listed team that day. John Kennedy; Jock Hutcheson, Archie Lang; Peter Miller, William Anderson; William McKinnon, Andrew Kennedy, Joe Lindsay, James Meikleham, Veitch and Liddell. Another ga...

Not only is this individual being pedantic, scoring a PR own goal against his employers, bullying a fifteen year old, it took 21 months for him to be "made aware" of this issue. On top of that it took him a further three months to track down the young lad committing this 'atrocity'. It must have bee...

There is no floodlight problem at the Rock. Both clubs decided to take up the option of playing the replay the following Saturday, instead of the usual midweek replay. The decision was made before the original tie and the projected dates for abandonment/postponement or draw were posted on the SFA we...

Dumbarton F.C. 1872, 1889 or 1905 ?
There have been several references in threads in this forum regarding the foundation date of the Sons. With respect to the unification of Dumbarton and Dumbarton Athletic in 1889, from Jim McAllister "The Sons of the Rock", the following quote "Some might want to make out a case for saying that, in ...

It is reported in "The Sons of the Rock" book, that the club records were destroyed in a fire at Boghead in the 1930s. This makes Jim McAllister's excellent book even more creditable. This maybe why the club are not "forthcoming", they probably have little, if any, information on a player who only p...
