Celtic and Rangers came close more recently but now the notion of a European final seems lightyears away. Also whoever decided to use that music with that clip needs a word in their ear - totally ruins it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have it somewhere at my folks' house) I appreciate that, I just think playing it over the footage made it all a bit... cheesy? My personal opinion of course, but I much prefer these clips just playing the original audio or if they are intent on playing music, make it something a bit atmospheric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 It was cheesy yes, but perfectly apt. I'd prefer the original audio too, but what are you thinking? Some thumping bass booshdy-booshdy music? Or Adagio For Strings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But personally, I’d go for some type of symphony performed by an orchestra if music has to be included.

If by ruin, you mean "makes you grin like a maniac while all the hair on the back of your neck stands up and it brings a tear to the eye" then i agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 My granny used to have the European Song on vinyl. You can’t deny it’s up there with the best of official football songs. In the same tier as the New Order USA 94 tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought that because it was a new order record, unaware of its status and connections. I also quite liked the lightning Seeds, but by then i'd learned my lesson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in '94 Eng-er-land much like Scotland didn't bother with the Soccer World Cup in the Yoo-Ess-Ayyy! Did I not like that! aDONis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, please don't misrepresent what I've said here like has happened before The song itself is fine, I just questioned it's use in that video rather than keeping it simple with the original audio. It was personal preference more than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is fair, but you also list Rangers as a personal preference so I know where I'll be filing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the power to re-write history , would any Dons fan want to swap the outcomes of the two 11th of May games ? Winning the title at Ibrox could probably never be topped on the domestic front. But , for me , the European trophy trumps the Premier League title.....even clinching it in a decider at Ibrox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
