| 1. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 02:18 I punched the air when I read this... Alas it is just "legends" for the premier clubs. But maybe, one day we can have nice things again and the real thing returns at some point. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg6p8pg55go  Reply |
| 2. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 06:38 Maybe my mind`s playing tricks on me but when I read this article yesterday I don`t remember it saying this would be a `Legends` event. In fact I thought it pointed out that, as it was being played over an international weekend, a few top players would be missing! Does anyone recognise the Pars player in the pic with Joe Miller? Is it Norrie? Reply |
| 3. Author: Gem 1977 Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 07:49 wee eck, Thu 13 Aug 06:38 It`s not Norrie. Phil Bonnyman, perhaps? Here's to the first of the day, fellas! To old D.H. Lawrence. Neh! Neh! Neh! Fuh! Fuh! Fuh! Indians Reply |

| 5. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 08:32 Davie Irons did occur to me although the hairstyle didn`t look quite right. He was at the club between 1988 and 1991 though so that makes sense. Reply |

| 7. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 09:38 Professional players will never play in stuff like this anyone the money is not worth the risk for the club or the player Reply |
| 8. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 09:40 Well they did until 1993. Reply |
| 9. Author: parathletic Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 11:30 I looked out the programme for 90/91 and our squad was 1 Andy Rhodes 2 David Irons 3 Ray Sharp 4 Istvan Kozma 5 Ross Jack 6 Billy Davies 7 Stuart Rafferty 8 Eddie Cunnington 9 Scott Leitch 10 Ian Westwater 11 Paul Smith 12 David Moyes We didn`t play Celtic that year though so the BBC has that wrong. It was 89/90 that we played them. Reply |
| 10. Author: allparone Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 11:51 The Scottish Masters has been running for a few years now at Braehead which is pretty much soccer sixes but with 4 Premiership teams. “Legends” is a term that would be used very loosely when you look at some of the players in the lineups of the teams that have been playing. I’m sure it was free to air and wasn’t watched by many. I’m not sure how Premier sports think this will be a money spinner tbh. Reply |

| 12. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 13:40 What`s the indoor tournament that`s been televised from Aberdeen in recent years? Reply |
| 13. Author: dd23 Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 14:10 I think that’s it, wee Eck. Reply |
| 14. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 14:17 But they`re saying the Tennent`s Sixes haven`t been held since 1993? Reply |
| 15. Author: Turps Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 14:27 wee eck, Thu 13 Aug 14:17 That was Master`s Football. Reply |
| 16. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 15:34 There was one held in F*lkirk I went to a couple of times. Probably mid 80’s Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 17. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 15:48 One of the comments on the article on the BBC Sport website lists the previous venues - `Comment by peasfrog at 05:30 The Kelvin Hall did not stage one single Tennents 6s. The venues were... Coasters, Falkirk - 1 (1984) Ingliston Showground, Edinburgh - 1 (85) SECC, Glasgow - 8 (86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93) Please change this.` I suspect the original article was a bit of a dog`s breakfast and an attempt has subsequently been made to tidy it up.

| 18. Author: allparone Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 15:53 “All 12 Scottish Premiership clubs will enter a team into a legends version of cult indoor tournament the Tennent`s Soccer Sixes later this year.” The Scottish Masters was over 35’s. This sounds like it will be exactly the same although shown on Premier and consist of 12 Premiership “legends” teams rather than the 4 in Masters football. Last years tournament is still on IPlayer if you want to see what it will be like. It’s pretty rubbish and should be left to nostalgia imo. Reply |
| 19. Author: parsfan Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 16:25 Group stages will be played on Saturday, with the winner and runner-up from three regionalised groups of four teams progressing to the knockout stage along with the two best third-placed teams. Being regionalised will mean they won`t have to travel too far once they`re all in Glasgow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |
| 20. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Thu 13th Aug 2026. 17:14 There were no major injuries through the previous soccer sixes run. The closest it came was Steve Fulton while playing for Celtic eating too many compilatory hot dogs and getting a massive bellyache and not being able to play. Reply |
