Just watched it back.  Billy Stark didn't actually go down, kind of ran into Robertson.  Penalty given.  Around 7:46.

 

Just watched this again. Great memories. 

How that was ever a penalty I will never know. NOt sure if it has always been the case or the law changed but obstruction isn't even a penalty, it's an indirect free kick inside the box. Even then, it wasn't even a foul, he just cut across his path. That's not obstruction just because Stark threw his arms up in the air. Mad, I didn't remember it being as soft as that. 

Some team we had then though.

I thought exactly the same for obstruction tbh.  Maybe it was different in 1987.  Being 6 years old at the time, my memory is a little sketchy.

New crush barriers from 1989, then Pars V Slovan Bratislava semi final, the building of the new turnstiles and lastly, apparently EEP used some of the steel from RMS Mauretania (Cunard) after it was scrapped doon the dockyard (Rosyth) with ash supplied from Toonhull Power Station. Before WWII.

Apologies for bumping this but I've just been reading the Lifted Over The Turnstiles series where a lot of the pictures are unpublished from the DC Thomson archives.  It got me wondering what's in the Dunfermline Press archives, if they have one, and if there would be enough for a book.

I bet there potentially thousands of photos never published or seen for years in their archives. I love old photos, it's an obvious window to the past.

My copy of the Dunfermline Press that's hanging in EEP from the weekend we won the cup in 68 has several photos that even big Mikey hadn't seen before and some hadn't been reproduced anywhere else. 

Although I'm saying it's hanging in EEP, it's been moved so I've no idea exactly where in the ground it is now...
