Despite my Thistle leanings, I remember being at that match. For some reason what sticks in my memory most is the Celtic youth team arriving mid way through the second half, attired in their tracksuits, and very noisily taking their seats in the stand.

I presume that they must have been playing earlier that evening elsewhere in the town.

I remember watching Caley v. Hearts about that time in a pre-season friendly. Score was, I think 3-2 to Hearts. As I remember they were either 3-1 or 3-0 up and Caley scored late on to set up an exciting finish.

Only thing is, I remember it as an afternoon kick-off.

Mind, I'm getting old!

Funny you should remember the Celtic sprogs arriving, Kingsmills, I remember that too - one of them shouted something at Eamonn Bannon as he was preparing to take a corner and he grinned and swore at him.

Hmmmm!

[Kingsmills]

I'm pretty sure that it was an evening match.

Well it says k.o. 7p.m. on the poster so it must have been.

Hence my reference to my dodgy memory!

If I remember right Caley won the 83 game 2-0.  It was a good night.  The 3-2 game against the Jambos must have been around the mid 70s and I remember hanging around after the game to get some of the Hearts players autographs.  I was easily pleased in those days.  :001:

[clacher_holiday2]

type in caley on ebay and theres always interesting junk, like this!

simply the best

theres the usual unofficial scarf too, which usualyl looks better than the real ones

[Kingsmills]

My memory is certainly failing, it was the 3-2 game that I was thinking of, didn't realise that it was as long ago as the mid seventies.

[buckett]

We're right, Kingsmills, you and me: I'm afraid on this occasion DJS has got it wrong.

Unless there was another game in the mid 70s with same scoreline. But if there was, I know for sure that I wasn't at it.

****, you must have been in short trousers then DJS!!!  :015:

14/5/75 Caley 2-3 Hearts (R. Neild, Wood)

3/8/83 Caley 2-0 Hearts (Lisle, Baxter)

29/9/87 Caley 3-4 Hearts (Polworth 2, Hercher). John Docherty testimonial.

I was at the 2-0 win over Hearts, and I think it must have been the last game I ever saw at Telford Street as we moved to the Borders a couple of weeks after the date on the poster.
