I expect you know the reason for these colours .......... but in case you don't, it reflects the racing colours of Lord Rosebery (long-time honorary president of Hearts) and previously used by Hearts in the Bobby Walker era. IMO, it's a helluva lot better than the black strip from last year. Black, indeed !! Awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey - we're in agreement there, sir 👍🙂 The 3rd strip thing just seems like blatant commercialism - all the big clubs seem to do it now. Probably even worse in England - Man City seem to wear loads of different coloured strips. It's at the stage nowadays that fans have to look at the sponsor name on the front to identify their own team !! 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a huge supporter back then but I remember his dad was coach/manager at some point. Edited October 12, 2020 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millerjames398 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 12 hours ago, luckydug said: Photo 1 with Jock Stein in the foreground. I believe this to be a Scottish Cup tie in 1966. The game was 'supposed' to be all ticket with a capacity of 46000. Just after the kick off with thousands still outside the exit gates at the Gorgie Road entrances were forced open and fans rushed the gates. This resulted in the pitch invasion you see in the photo as the game had to be stopped for safety reasons. The fans down at the front many children had to be allowed on to the pitch to escape the crushing. If the fences that were later installed at the wall had been in force then there would surely have been a 'Hillsboro' type disaster. Once the game restarted the referee with the usual sense of fair play ensured Celtic received the benefit of two dodgy decisions and escaped with a 3-3 draw and won the replay. There was an interesting article in the falkirk herald a few weeks ago, about falkirks largest attendance against celtic, basically they turned up en masse after initially refusing tickets, as they felt falkirk weren't offering enough tickets in the 1st place, as the game drew closer the tims have turned up in their thousands and try and squeeze past celtic fans who had actually bought tickets..the police then decided to open the gates and let 2 at a time through, obviously they charged through the gate, and the fans who had tickets went through and threw their tickets down to fans outside(sounds familiar)..anyway resulted in crash barriers bent out of shape the perimeter wall broken, and fans taken away on stretchers, the official attendance was 21 odd thousand, but closer to 25/26 thousand...celtic fans are dicks basically 🇱🇻🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
