Fotbawmad Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Too bad I wasn't at Ibrox that day The one thing I remember most was seeing everyone in the street leaving their houses on mass, because pubs were giving out free drinks if the Rovers won that day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan y k Dall Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 My mate was in the process of lighting a fag when Crawford opened the scoring. The silly sod set fire to his jacket whilst dancing about and his jacket became a tank top. Happy days indeed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetheRaith Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Me and my dad went to every game apart form the semi final due to his work commitments and me not being able to get dropped off to the Royal Mail for them to take me either, so glad we made the final what a day out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Happy Coca-cola cup day folks! Sadly didn't make the final, couldn't believe it watching it on tv..shame my dad never could get hold of another ticket for me! Unthinkable surely for the skipper to miss....AND HE HAS!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Went to every game apart from the Ross County game. So many great memories of that run. A Cameron hat trick to beat Killie, Danny Lennon's break away goal at St Johnstone to seal it and the ensuing pandemonium in the stand, Brian fucking Potter becoming a hero after the extra time period that felt like 2 hours. And then the final. Can remember the nerves like it was yesterday. Then the utter joy when Crawford put us ahead. And then the despair when Nicholas scored only for Dazza to get an equaliser minutes later. Then turning to my brother and saying 'here we go, Raith in Europe' as McStay stepped up. Then utter, complete joy. Then the weeks that followed and smiling like a daftie every day just thinking about it. Christ I'm still smiling about it now. Might watch the whole game tonight over a beer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Be proud of your history, but it's time to look forward. This was our moment. I may be wrong but I doubt I'll ever see us win a major trophy again. Just thankful I was there to experience it. Rovers fans will never stop celebrating that great day and nor should they.

Broken Algorithms Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Born and raised in a family where my Dad, or none of my distant relatives had any interest in football whatsoever. Cruel, cruel world. Still its always a good thing to show people from time to time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I still get a shiver up my spine when I see the photo of Thompson saving McStay's penalty. Great times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was only just too young to remember the final but the aftermath is certainly one of my earliest set of memories! Remember my dad, vaguely, taking me to the Beveridge Park to meet and greet all the players I think? Still, watched the game a few times and it's safe to say I feel like I went to the final and experienced it all for myself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Gran had to wait in a que that went about 3 times round Starks Park, got us tickets, only to find out that it was my cousins christening that day (Auntie with slight leanings to the dark side of fife). Still, was only 6, but remember quite a lot about that day. Remember the sitting room at my grans going properly mental after the pen was saved....apart from my dear late Grandad who had to go upstairs as he feared he may have a heart attack during the pens! Apparently, when it went to 2-1 Celtic, my Gran said (in the typical women who know nothing about football voice) "Never mind, they can still do it!" Only to be told by my Grandad "Shut up you stupid woman, what do you know about fitba?!. Its over" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 What's been happening with our home crowds this season? The atmosphere just seems really bad compared to previous seasons in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetheRaith Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The following Monday I left school at lunch time and ended up at Starks park looking to get a glimpse of the trophy and managed to see it and hold it while jimmy Nichols was being interviewed by some journalist and we ended up getting a pic taken with jimmy gutted I never knew which paper it was would like to see that pic now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might watch the whole game tonight over a beer I can only echo all that. That Kilmarnock game was a thriller in its own right, and as fine a hat-trick as you'll see, Lennon's goal was a peach, and Brian Potter is of course a legend ( http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=2663 ). And I also wasn't at the Ross County game, which of course I regret. Kudos to those of you who did make every game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
