CIS Cup Final Date

[Slim]

Looked on Redweb and the SFL site and couldn't see anything, anyone know when it's due to be played if we beat Utd? Got a trip I need to plan for early March and don't want to potentially miss it.

Is it always a Sunday?

[Harcus]

Is it always a Sunday?

 

certainly has been the past few years.

[glasgow sheep]

Is it always a Sunday?

has been for ages....was a Sunday when we last won it, I'm sure

[Mackie's ace!]

You are correct. I would have said it was a Saturday though.

[Superstar Tradesman]

Yeah think it was a Sunday.

 

Remember getting off the bus at home, walking into the pub after a magic day bathing in a sea of red and the place being empty.

 

What a come down....

 

 

 

[TheChimp]

It's been Sunday from the year dot as far as I know.

 

Even remember the 3 finals against Rangers in the late 80's being on Sundays.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

You are correct. I would have said it was a Saturday though.

 

Yip, defo a Sunday, good day that!

It was a Sunday when we beat Hibs 3-0 in October, 1985.  As I remember going as a kid and missing the final episode of Stookie on STV on the Sunday.  If memory serves me right it was also the day after the actor who played Wayne in Auf Wiedhersen Pet (Gary Holden I think) was found dead.

 

 

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Thought it was a heroin overdose!?

[CtS]

That's livin' alright.

[DON 71]

did he not set fire to himself?

 

or something less kinky sorry horrific

 

 

I think he was a Hibs fan and knew his team were going to be pumped by the famous Aberdeen the next day and so he topped himself  !!!

From what I know of the guy, he sounds like a Hibbee!

I love it when people inject a bit of humour into a thread.  It's really cheered me up, a shot in the arm, so to speak.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

It's a rich vein though.

[CtS]

Ok, enough.  You're giving me the needle now.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Ok, enough.  You're giving me the needle now.

 

Getting browned off myself.

[Superstar Tradesman]

did he not set fire to himself?

 

He was an arsonist on the show so you might have your firewires crossed.

[DON 71]

 

No, Moxey was the arsonist.  Wayne was a carpenter he wooden have the heart to set fire to anything !

" Holton was found dead by his girlfriend Janet Mclllewan in his bed on 25 October 1985. He had died from an overdose of alcohol and morphine, as well as traces of diazepam and cannabis. Pathologist Dr Rufus Crompton said during his coronery at Hornesy, North London, that he would have been drinking less than half-an-hour before his death, and that the morphine would have made him unconscious within a matter of minutes "
