shull Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Football highlights have been broadcast since the 1950's , I'm guessing via Scotsport, Sportsreel and latterly Sportscene. What Saints highlighted matches would you like to see again ? Up until the 1980's they were very few provincial club matches broadcast as the Telly dudes concentrated on the two sectarian clubs almost every week. Once we were in the 1990's there was stacks of coverage even in Division One with the great Football First. I have managed to remember three where the highlights were broadcast on a Saturday night and would love to see full highlights again. 29/4/72 Dumbarton 1 St Mirren 2 Promotion battle. 29/1/77 St Mirren 4 Dundee Unitit 1 Scottish Cup 26/2/77 Motherwell v St Mirren Scottish Cup ( would love to see the whole match just to see that first half again ) What would everybody else like to see again ? Surely the TV Companies must still have these highlights from through the decades. Get them all on a Website and let us see them again. Quote
shull Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Posted March 24, 2020 Quite a few Saints TV highlights matches from the the 1990's are easy to find and watch. Countless times I have watched clips from the Millennium Season especially the class finish to the Game at Starks Park and also the April match at Somerset then the Title clincher a week later. Funnily enough the drubbing by Caley Thistle had a certain deal of warmth to it. A fantastic day out, invasion of the pitch and a top class speech from Lord Thomas Hendrie. Can watch all of the above over and over again. Quote
delpierro Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Always wish I could see the St Mirren 4-2 Celtic game, where Scanlon score from 176 yards!!! Quote
Tommy Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 I wish I could see the Hammerby defeat at Love St again, just to cheer myself up the now Quote

DougJamie Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Wish List St Mirren v Dundee Utd 2000 where Gillies scores in 95th to win 2-1- gave us false hope St Mirren 4 Old Rangers 1, think 1981 St Mirren 5 Fulham 3, with Best and Marsh 5-3- 1979 St Mirren 3 Celtic 3 - 77...…. one of the greatest games ever with us going down to 10 men, going 3-1 up and the Sellick scoring 2 late goals. Both sets of fans applauded players on a miserable night St Mirren 8 Bankies 0 with their new keeper having his debut And of course 1-1 draw with Liverpool- biggest crowd I saw personally at Love Street Edited March 25, 2020 by DougJamie Quote

Going back years now but when I was on the athletics club committee there was a guy there who was an editor at the BBC. He's since moved on to BT. Back then he was able to go through BBC footage of the Moscow Olympics and pulled out some never seen before footage of Allan Wells winning the 100m gold - there was footage from the holding section and from different angles on the track. He compiled the footage and showed it on a night when Allan Wells had come to present the kids with their medals and trophies for their achievements that year. It would be fantastic if the TV Companies set about putting their archives online. I'd even consider subscribing to such a service. Great idea Shull. Anyway I think I'd love to show my kids the footage of the Scottish Cup Semi Final replay against Rangers at Hampden Park - the night we wuz definitely robbed. I thought St Mirren played some brilliant football that night and were just a bit too profligate in their finishing. I don't know if the highlights exist but I'd also love to watch Frank McGarvey taking a dive when Hamish McAlpine got frustrated at his repeated attempts to block his kick out - just to see if it was really as bad as I remember it. The replay wasn't on the telly Dundee Utd had a media page where most of our games against them in the 80s is on it Quote

delpierro Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 I can fortunately close my eyes and picture it. 2 of a start, we gave you 2 of a start...... [emoji23]I was there, just wish there was highlights. Quote

Eric Arthur Blair Posted March 26, 2020 Report Posted March 26, 2020 Yeah, sadly the 4-2 win over the manky mhob wasn't televised. Scanlon's goal was similar to this except from further out and left footed. Quote
