@Rothbury01669 I’m 55 and McDonalds, Wimpy et al were certainly around. And Marks were definitely doing lasagne in the 80s - in fact they launched it in 1972 so all the other supermarkets must’ve sold it by then as well. Pizzaland launched in 1980. And I grew up in South Wales, not London.
Have you ever heard of anything as crazy as a Cup final being abandoned during a penalty shootout?!
That’s exactly what happened on Friday!
Buchanhaven Hearts and Bridge of Don Thistle faced off in the North of Scotland League’s (sixth tier) McLeman Cup final at Cove Rangers’ Balmoral Stadium.
The final was 1-1 and went to penalties, the first three penalties were executed without issue but with the floodlights went out DURING THE PENALTY SHOOTOUT!
The referee was left with no choice but to abandon the match.
The Press and Journal have reported that the floodlights were timed to switch off at 9:50pm, with the match being an 8pm kickoff - Aberdeen Council had failed to take into account a penalty shootout.
A meeting next week about potentially replaying the final is to held.
Scottish football. Never ever change.
