I've always wondered how the 'Championship of the World' seems to have been attributed to Renton's win over WBA when such contests had already been staged by a number of clubs. The following similar encounters (English Cup v Scottish Cup winners) had already been played: 1876 Wanderers 0 Queens Park...

Frank Gray missed from the spot against Belgium in Brussels in a Euro 84 qualifier. It was the night Dalglish scored two crackers.

... And haud on even longer as I've a Scottish Cup book coming out in 2023 to mark the 150th anniversary!

Please forgive me if my lack of tech knowledge shows through in this message but I'm very much a pen 'n' bit o' paper man! Firstly, I hope your fortunes change Brian and whatever it is you and your family are going through gets better. Mere websites are understandably way down your priorities. Secon...

Was Alan Rough not a part-time player at Thistle?

I can just visualise Alan Davies on QI ready to say "Ally McLeod"....alarm about to sound!

And it now reaches 45 after Falkirk's comfortable win. With Livingston next up, it could easily be the half-century!
Can see the 'Wee Rangers' struggle in their new Lowland League surrounds this coming season.

Apparently Berwick have now conceded 42 goals since last scoring a goal themselves! This surely has to be a record if true? Even Bon Accord didn't quite manage this

The Clyde v Dumbarton possibility raises the question, once more, of one club or two since Dumbarton did close down for a lengthy period after their loss of a Scottish League place in the late 1890s

Don't think there were many results grids on Brian McColl's site.
Anyone with the time and dedication could compile a whole host of seasons via the various digitised papers in the BNA website. From the 1950s on though, the offerings are fairly minimal.

With the SPFL deciding to award 3-0 wins to two League 2 clubs in light of Clyde playing an ineligible player in earlier matches, I'm wondering why this change of tact from the authorities. Any similar occurrences in the past have resulted in points being deducted from the guilty club. The only time...

Scottish Referee has more available on the BNA

Noticed that the BBC again distinguished themselves with their Scottish Cup coverage yesterday. A catch-all report included the news that Glenafton Athletic had won their first ever Scottish Cup tie in their debut meeting with Threave Rovers. The reporter appeared oblivious to the fact that the New ...

Forrest, as a born and bred 'Mariner', I can confirm it's most definitely pronounced CAME...LON. You are indeed correct though when mentioning the posh derivative of CAMEL...ON. I can't recall any Camelon people ever using the posh version, only the 'Fur Coat 'n' Nae Knickers' outsiders referred to ...

I've got to say that I always considered the 'scrimmage' being akin to the scrum in rugby. I'm sure I've read stories of teams effectively surrounding the ball and edging towards goal whilst the defending side attempts to hold them at bay. It would explain why so few goalscorers are actually identif...
