    Oh no, I can't remember how to spell the name of some rent-a-gob whose name I never see written down, however will I cope with the shame?

    Bonner...Bonnar...who cares ! Either way he's an Old Firm obsessed moron who should be nowhere near a supposed 'national' broadcaster.

    Nirvana -Nevermind

    The Smiths- Meat is Murder

    Arctic Monkeys- Favourite Worst Nightmare

    Elvis Costello and The Attractions- Armed Forces

    Weezer- Pinkerton

    Technically correct about Elvis & The Attractions of course but I always think of 'This Years Model'  as being Elvis Costello's 2nd LP and it's better than 'Armed Forces ' for me.

    I was only 14 at the time, but I remember thinking that Celtic had it won when it turned out to be a Dutch team in the final. I don’t think that any Dutch club side or the national team had done anything of note up until  that point. Boy, did things change very, very quickly.

    Ajax got to the European Cup final in 1969 and slaughtered Bill Shankley's  Liverpool a few years before that.

    Ambition is a funny thing, I'm old enough to remember Paul McStay and how many experts wrung their hands over why he never left Celtic and never played in a 'superior' league like the English Premier. He had the talent and I'm sure his choice at remaining wasn't all down to loyalty, I'm sure he was just as ambitious as the next player.

    Paul McStay was not as good as the Old Firm sycophants in the Scottish media claimed he was.  McStay  knew this . 

  5. I defer to no one in my hatred of both halfs of the vile Old Firm but it is simple fact that Celtic fans, as annoyingly a bunch of deluded arseholes as they are undoubtedly are, do not and would not behave like Rangers fans have tonight.  Tonight I must revise my theory of equilibrium...the two clubs are equally vile pieces of vermin..the two  sets of fans are not.

    I was born in 1975 so wasn't attending matches during this era; however, the aspect that stands out for me is how grim the crowd looks, no colours just an industrial mass of humanity probably turned up straight from working in the morning. 

    Although, I suppose their wouldn't have been much replica shirts back then and even scarves would have been in its infancy.

    We do have a tendancy to remember the past fondly but that picture of the 1974 cup final looks grim.

    Whilst the English FA Cup has went backwards as a spectacle, I actually think the Scottish version is at its peak presently. 

    Actually, it would be interesting to see a comparison with the same view from the 1985,1988 and 2005 finals, although obviously the roof will be on in the latter... 

    I've been to three Scottish Cup Finals, 1970, 1985 & 2005. In 1970 i was nine years old, stood with my dad on the section of terrace pictured in this thread with an attendance of around 109,000 and saw little or nothing of the game.  I did however see plenty of men pishing in empty beer cans.  Got  a stand ticket for 1985 so obviously got to see the game but no great spectacle. By 2005 Hampden all seated and great spectacle but rubbish match. Certainly more sense of occasion brought to the day by the authorities as the years have gone by. However, nothing like the hype that use to accompany the FA Cup Final back in the day. For those too young to recall think coverage of Prince Phil's death transposed to a game of football.
