Donaldo87 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Huge win today but we nearly threw it all away! Think that's the top 6 sorted out position by position now. Fixtures next weekend could easily see Dundee and ICT adrift with everyone else on 35 but obviously it won't go that way as it never does  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 2 international caps for Northern Ireland. They either do this for all random proud young Protestants who briefly played for them 80 years ago or they are celebrating him predominately due to the incident that killed the Celtic keeper. No idea which one it would be... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) 3 deserved points for the Dons at Perth. Should have been  further ahead than the 2 at half time. Saints came back into it courtesy of a soft penalty and despite taking more of the game to Aberdeen in the 2nd half they never looked like equalising. Edited April 15, 2017 by AberdeenAngus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I can't verify this, but I can remember my Uncle telling me (many years ago) that English was so overcome by grieve at the funeral procession that he had to be carried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on that Scotty but he was never the same player again and retiring at 28 when not injured is highly unusual. The only things I've read on this all say he was deeply affected despite Thomson's family exonerating him of any blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts it destroyed him as a player and as a man. There's not the slightest shred of evidence that he was a 'proud young protestant' in the sense that this banner obviously suggests.

I'd struggle to play football again if I'd been involved in something like that. Very sad all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
