Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 23rd Oct 2024. 11:23 My best mate`s Dad, who regularly took us to matches, maintained that Jim Herriot`s indiscretion against Third Lanark was a factor in the Pars failure to win the league and/or cup that season - due to the fixtures pile up that ensued. The second replay (at Tynecastle) was on a Monday night with a Fairs Cup tie against Spanish opposition at EEP on the Wednesday, both games following a league fixture on the Saturday. Three cup ties to eliminate TL was two too many - coupled with three competitive games over 5 days. Reply |
