tontastic Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If anyone is interested, and doesn't mind downloading a 300 MByte file ... there are extended highlights from the above match at the following url ... http://www.tontastic.com/archive/1980-04-1...n_V_Rangers.avi I strongly recommend saving to disk and playing from there, rather than just selecting "open". Anyone hazard a guess what the attendance was for the game? This is a bit of an experiment to see how easy it is for folk to download footage such as this from the tontastic web site. I am considering an experiment to make a lot of old footage such as this available through the web site. It is potentially an expensive experiment due to having to increase my bandwidth allowance, and buy additional hardware (hard disks) to hold the video. I've had an encouraging response to the Ton of Memories DVD offer through my web site, and if I keep getting orders then this might become a reality. I've heard from numerous people over the past couple of years with offers of old games on video tapes. If anyone has this kind of stuff up their loft and especially if anyone still has old video recorders lying around that could be used to transfer footage, please get in touch to tontastic@ntlworld.com.

If you have ever downloaded the goals from the official site then this should be ok, if not, you will need to wait until tonight so i can check what codec should be used. Sorry!

Rhubarb Mess Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Was the attendance not around 19,500 or 20,000. Remember being in the wee bit next to the Morton dugout for this game, and being introduced to the Rangers players after the game. (I had the privledge of this at every game at scappa for 2 years) It is a quote I use quite often 'Ally Dawson made me fat' as he had given me a tray of pies in the Rangers dressing room after this game And I have never looked back since.

Rhubarb Mess Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Tontastic, thank you very much for putting this on, brings back great memories, well some not so great as I remember how gutted I felt when they clawed it back. And the fact Tam who used to go to Cappielow grabbed me when we scored our second and hugged me with his flaky skinned face flaking all over me. Weird how some things plant in your memory. We should have buried them though, we were a joy to watch. Scoreboard in the Wee Dublin end, I had forgot all about it. The boys with the green jackets, white hats (looked like party hats) and orange tray for holding their wares for sale (ki-ora macaroon and chewing gum), how did they not get murdered with that clobber on playing Rangers. The coal depot still occupied, it was a relative walk down memory lane. Cheers. We are a MEAN diddy team!!! SITTING ON THE FENCE!!! m1874 Blog<<<..V..>>>Ernies Blog GMST make your own mind up.

Real_Hoops Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Got it to work now! Thanks for putting this up. Great to see and some great memories- How good were Tolmie and Holmes!. We had a fair few chances to kill that game off. It was horrible to see so few morton fans. The home end was over 50% rangers fans and I dont ever remember it being like that.

Was always like that when the OF came to town around that time. I wasn't allowed in the Cowshed at that age anyway, in fact I remember going nuts when I wasn't allowed to go to a Morton v Celtic match because men where fighting in McDougall Street before the game, where I stayed in 1980. My mam wouldn't let me out and I had to sit at my window and 'listen' to the crowd to try and guage the scores. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

Rhubarb Mess Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 We had games against the old firm which were over 20,000 in those days, just not sure about this one.

Rhubarb Mess Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Attendance was 14,143. Sitting with the programme. The previous season on 20/10/1979 there was 19,648 in Cappielow for the famous 1-0 game. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

Rhubarb Mess Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Cheers for the stats, I was at both these games! Ah the memories! No probs, but you had me scamperring around the loft Came back down with more than what I needed, slap in the head for me when her indoors gets in. I am convinced 1 game against one of the OF the crowd did break the 20,000 mark, but I can't find anything to back that up, so I can only asume i was mistaken. If anyone is remotely intrested I have all the results/stats from every Tennents Sixes match at Ingliston in 1985 when we got to the final before Hearts pumped us. Thats one for the Statos who want to keep them for future reference. My god my life was exciting. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

AyrshireTon Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Great to see - I only had the final goal from that game, along with the Benny Rooney interview afterwards. S*ndy J*rd*ne booed and jeered at every touch - The Girvan Lighthouse fluffing an easy corner - The Morton side (as Rooney put it) "clockwatching" - <_> McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

Moore's Muppet Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Tontastic, thank you very much for putting this on, brings back great memories, well some not so great as I remember how gutted I felt when they clawed it back. And the fact Tam who used to go to Cappielow grabbed me when we scored our second and hugged me with his flaky skinned face flaking all over me. Weird how some things plant in your memory. I mind Tam, an old neighbour of mine. One of many who turned their back on Morton for the Old Scum when things started to go downhill for us! A bit smelly and indeed, flaky, but a good guy. Bless his soul. SUNSET FESTIVAL In aid of Ardgowan Hospice Greenock Police Club Saturday 2nd July 2011 The above event solely contributed a donation of over £1240 to the Hospice. Great night, great musical performances, and great generosity from all of those who participated. Thank you. It will be back!

Rhubarb Mess Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I mind Tam, an old neighbour of mine. One of many who turned their back on Morton for the Old Scum when things started to go downhill for us! A bit smelly and indeed, flaky, but a good guy. Bless his soul. I know, but you couldn't get at Tam for it, just wouldn't be right. Being crushed by him with his face against mine as a ten year old when Morton scored their second will haunt me forever, but it was the sheer joy that we had went 2-0 up against them. Certainly doesn't seem like 26 years ago. We are a MEAN diddy team!!! SITTING ON THE FENCE!!! m1874 Blog<<<..V..>>>Ernies Blog GMST make your own mind up. "Hey!!!
