TheDonbytheDee Posted November 15 Report Posted November 15 Ally MacLeod took charge of his first Dons match on this day 1975. Dons managed a 2-1 win, with Jocky Scott scoring the winner. Paul Hegarty scored for them. Also on this day in 1961, a certain Neil Simpson was born. Oh for a Simmie in our midfield now. Quote
swaddon Posted Thursday at 23:09 Report Posted Thursday at 23:09 On this day in 1986, Aberdeen appointed Ian Porterfield to replace Fergie. It didn't work out. 2 Quote
swaddon Posted Monday at 08:38 Report Posted Monday at 08:38 On this day in 1992, Aberdeen recorded their biggest-ever away win when they thrashed Partick Thistle 7-0 at Firhill. The scoreline was equalled on 31st March 2017 at Dens Park. The game had been rescheduled after the original was abandoned. I believe it was the famous incident when a member of the Firhill ground staff tried to clear snow off the pitch with a broken broom. Quote

I was at the abandoned game but couldn't make the rearranged one. Quote
Jute Posted Monday at 09:16 Report Posted Monday at 09:16 Was at both. Always felt that players were pissed off about way Thistle pissed about pretending to try and clear the pitch and took the frustrations out on them in replay. Was at 7-0 over Dundee as well. Quote

It was indeed a 3-0 win on the final day, against Hibs, that kept us safe. Was it two teams from 10 that were relegated back then? Edited 18 hours ago by TheDonbytheDee Quote

It was one point, and that was a draw at Tannadump. This set me thinking about the season 1979/80 when of course we won the league for the first time in my life time Hibs got relegated that season and I am sure that they hardly won a point away from home but I remember them holding us to a one each draw at Pittodrie that could have harmed our title hopes. Remember it was a Wednesday evening and we were in the paddock and so was a small Hibs support. Verbal were exchanged and at the end as we were going down the steps at full time one of mates was hit on the back of the head by a shoe thrown by one of them. He picked it up shouted run and once on to Merkland Road proceeded to launch it into the old timber merchant yard. Still have a laugh at the thought of some guy travelling home that night with only one shoe Quote
