Yup. I had a chat with Durrant at Auchenhowie 4 or 5 years ago when he was coaching the B team and that knee that Simpson injured is legitimately about twice the size of his other knee. Horrific challenge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Durrant was also unlucky to get his injury at a time when medical treatment was a long way short of what it is today. Edited October 25, 2022 by Bill 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 6,781 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Was one of best games I've been at. Two great teams to be fair and Aberdeen were our main challengers for trophies then. Was it the next season we beat them 3-2 in League Cup Final at Hanpden? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,161 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 That Aberdeen side would stroll the current league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,609 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 'Ding dong' was a good phrase I heard (and still use) to describe that type of match. Two teams going right at it. I think modern football has killed a lot of the physical aspects of the Scottish game and is a contributory factor in how poorly our teams perform on the continent. Getting stuck in about them just gets you sent off nowadays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
