Playing them in the skol cup in 89 or 90, and spanking them 4 0, im sure falkirk had 3 sent off, and scott crabbe got a couple, the stewards had to make a chain to stop the Falkirk fans getting on the park in shed at the fence between the fans, an eye opener, my 1st time at brockville, bonus was getting to noise up all the bairns fans in my class😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 7 hours ago, Lambo85 said: Remember a few years back when they beat us 4-3 in the League Cup. Was during Jeffries second stint at the club. We were 2-0 down and down to 10 men by half time. We looked dead and burried then Kyle scored a double and Suso scored to get it back to 3-2. Then Falkirk scored 2 late goals to make it 4-3. Was a sore one. Remeber it was also on my birthday and I got done for speeding on the way home. Had better birthdays! I feel your pain as I was there as well and it was my birthday too, total nightmare. To make things worse, I grew up in Falkirk and was still living there at that time, at least you were able to escape the place afterwards! Although not my worst Falkirk memory, that had to be the 6-0 at Brockville and as a 9 year old going into school in Falkirk on the Monday morning, that wasnt a good day. Apart from the 3-1 semi final in 98, best memory is being at my pal's house in 95 (the whole family were big Falkirk fans) when the news came through that Jefferies had been appointed our new manager and seeing my pal and his wee brother in tears at the news. One reason why JJ is even more of a legend to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiler Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Been to Brockville many times to see us, but anyone remember Jimmy Gilmour(?) scored a couple for them, don't think we scored, midweek game, must have been late 80s.

Then the game Robbo got sent off for putting his head near that wee **** Albert Kidd and he collapsed in a heap. Saw Robbo later that night in the Rutland and he said there was no contact and the wee ******** **** was getting it the next time at Tynie 😅😅 I was at both of those. October '87 & March '87. The latter was a dire 0-0. I didn't think there was any contact whatsoever between Robbo &Kidd yet he went down like a sack of spuds conning abysmal ref Kevin O'Donnell into sending Robbo off. Even though a distant 4th or 5th, we had 5,000+ at Brockville that day. Absolute Shithole of a ground and none too safe either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby8 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Brockville 1987. Kidd getting Robbo sent off after flinging himself to the ground in a 0-0 draw, the week before the semi with St Mirren, probably cost us the cup that year too. Robbo was suspended for the semi, in a game crying out for his goals. Another reason or despising the Bobby Ball lookalike. .

I always get reminded by my mates that we all went through to a cup game in 1988 and that the game was rumored to be the one where there were forged tickets by the bucket load. Not so much forged but just copies because back in the day it was just paper ones with no bar codes. Copied because the dozy Falkirk club had used an Edinburgh printers. No idea if this was ever true or was just another part of all of our groups Jambo folklore. Sounds like by the crowd size you quote might be the game, January and 15888.

I remember actually being behind the goals in what would normally be the home end. Im sure the Falkirk fans were only housed in one of the stands at the side of the park and part of the main stand.

Think we had been on a winter jolly just before this game. To be fair to Levein, he tore strips off the team and we went up to Pittodrie and won 1-0 a few days later.

Our centurian double decker getting stoned , about 1977. That lot dont like us , mind my cars lights failed on the motorway back from there , was scary, thoughts folks. I found this on London Hearts website - I had forgotten I wrote it! Early 70s: Hearts stop selling coke and refunds system (for empty bottles) dries up. Forced to watch games and it becomes a habit I’m subsequently unable to kick despite nasty side effects (nausea, poverty, a feeling of great stupidity, a tendency to say "Right, that’s it. You won’t see me back here next season.") The football is still so bad I resort to alternative to bottle collecting: bottle throwing. Spend next few seasons shouting "Cruickie for Scotland" - "Donald for Scotland" and "Take that you Rangers ". None of which has any effect as a) Cruickie and Donald don’t play for Celtic or Rangers and b) I am too far away from the Rangers supporters for them to hear. Off the field, highlights include: getting in free to Methil as the top person in a human pyramid: being able to miss one of the endless cup replays against Montrose due to being held in custody (a busload of us done for pissing at the side of the M90). This is the age of the skinheads. (my) Brother Keith is felled at Brockville. Bottles are thrown against the roof of the shed - so that the broken glass falls down on the opposing supporters - those were the days, eh? Keith feels something hit his face, puts his hand to his face and feels hot liquid flowing down and falls to the ground, whimpering. He suddenly discovers it is a hot pie, thrown away in disgust rather than with evil intent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
