Random Fitba Facts Thread

Nae great fitba fact in this, but the three penalties narrative made me go look.....

Three penalties for the racists. Two missed. ****s.

Horrible close-ups of that **** Alex Miller; Jacksie and Rowson red-carded; 3-0 ahead with a superb strike from future 2007 Maroon Highland League-winning hero Fred Perry, still the fittest boy I ever saw play at that level; an exemplary textbook paradigmic OG fae Blinker, and a cool strike fae Hignett, who, due to a combination of work, holidays and apathy I never saw play for the Dons.

And fit the **** was Cadge thinking of giving away that penalty? Just like future hun**** Robertson at Parkheid in 89-90 (a day when the up-to-then infallible Gilhaus missed a penalty and we lost 1-0).

Socrates (Brazilian nae Greek) played most of 700 games for Corinthians(actually supported Botafogo). After retiring he said on numerous occasions he would like to die on a Sunday when Corinthians win the league

On Sunday 4th December Socrates died. In the afternoon Corinthians drew 0-0 with Palmeiras gaining the one point needed to win the league for the first time in 6 years

Spooky

Random fact in a book im reading

In the 1800s the biggest scoreline in world football as you know was the famous 36-0 Arbroath v Bon Accord. Dundee Harps 35-0 v Aberdeen Rovers on the same day as Arbroaths win is second. Incredible stat in itself thay they were both on the same day

Anyway the biggest score in the 1900s was Stirling Albion 20-0 Selkirk in 1984 in the Scottish Cup. Alex "and eh" Smith was manager

The biggest in the 2000s is AS Adema 149–0 SO l'Emyrne in Madagascar. But its farcical and almost all OGs as the team were protesting dodgy refereeing

So really the top 3 highest scoring games ever in the whole history of fitba all were in Scotland. Who says our game is sh@t

This is in club fitba. As Australia have a 31-0 win v American Samoa in 2002.which is the equivalent of Ajax playing McTeagle(David Zdrillic scored 8)

Is it worth trying this the next time we're subject to a Madden or Dallas "genuine mistake"?

1.6 goals a minute is good going

Harry Melrose (although his surname would have been, more accurately, 'Malodorous' when he was a Hun).

Harry Melrose, captain of the Dons and the Washington Whips’ acting manager for the early part of the USA season, holds the distinction of being among Rangers’ top goals per game scorers. His record reads:

Played 1, scored 2, average 2.

Harry’s only game for the first team during his spell at Ibrox in the late 1950s was against Brechin City in a League Cup tie when Asian flu was rife in Scotland. He scored twice for Rangers. The game’s final score is less memorable than Melrose’s outstanding debut and resulting record. The impressive records of McCoist and Hateley do not even come close to that of Harry Melrose.

So, a fantastic goals record at Ibrox; an idol at Dunfermline due to the 1961 Scottish Cup win and resulting European displays and Dons’ skipper and acting manager when they played as somebody else in 1967. A legend three times over.

(From a book you should all have read by now).
