GorgieRoad Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Definitely the Scottish cup win in 1998. I was at the parade the next day but being only 4 I can't say I have too much recollection of the occasion or a sense of what had happened. Either that or 5-1 just to live that day all over again.

The Great Stagsby Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Having barely made it to any Scotland games ever, there would be plenty of those - 67 being top of the list, and both wins v France in Euro 2008 qualifying right up there. As for County games: 5-1 at the dump. It was meant to happen around New Year, and I had been home especially for it, then it was frozen off. I then happened to be home again (I think it was February?) without even realising when it had been rescheduled for, and agonisingly was on a plane back down South from that visit as the game kicked off. The wonderfully named Tasos Venetis scored, as I recall. And then the only two games from our 2010 Scottish Cup run that I missed - 9-0 v Stirling Albion, and the final. Despite the performance and result, gutted I could only watch on from 2,000 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Stagsby Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 As for games I was actually at and would like to relive, most definitely the Scottish Cup quarter final replay v Hibs. What an actual monster of an occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's Back To The Future day today, folks. So say you could travel through time like Marty McFly, what one game from Scottish football history would you take in? I'm torn between our 1965 league winning match at Tynecastle, and the Eintracht Frankfurt game. Although I'm swinging towards the latter as it was at Rugby Park and I'd love to experience a match-day back then at the old ground. That`s tremendous footage of what must have been an epic night. Thanks for posting it. I remember Ronnie hamilton playing for us later in his career. Tempted to back to our 4-3 cup semi win v Aberdeen but I`d go back to when we beat Ayr United 5-4 in an epic cup tie in 1976. We`d drawn the first game at Somerset 2-2 having been 2-0 down with Allan Ball saving a pen at 2-2 despite being injured (broken leg i think). The replay was a thrilling cup-tie under the light at Palmerston. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dregs 83 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Winning the league at dens, although the New Year's Day massacre last season would suffice, or any time when I had any hope whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoy who invented weetabix Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The goal cellies... #scenes was at Blackburn and Stuttgart as well as the UEFA Cup final itself but couldnt get a ticket at all for this one. Also a game at Tynecastle about ten years ago where a stray shot hit my mate on the arm just as he was taking a sip of his coffee sending the scalding liquid all over his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 As Pie of the Month said, it'd be back to the first game for me (Clackmannan County in 1878), but for a different reason. Football must have been a very different animal to watch back then, what with everyone smoking pipes and stopping for a quick chat about the Empire while the game carried on around them. I'd love to see Alloa back in those days too. "There'd be no difference"...har har, very funny. It's not Elgin, you know. Nae shaggin', of course, as if there's one thing BTTF taught us, it's that lassies in the past who want the boaby are likely to be relations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Not Scottish, but Linfield 2 Manchester City 1 on 30th September 1970, meaning we lost 2-2 on aggregate thanks to the away goals rule, but an IL side beating a full-time top English side in front of a packed Windsor Park must have been a night and a half?

mizfit Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Mmmm, I'm going to forgo the Scottish cup final, and for club I'm going to go with the semi final v Aberdeen at Ibrox. I'd like to experience it without the hangover I spent the whole day suffering from. National side, Argentina 74, Scotland 3 Holland 2, or the 3-2 game in 67.

Deeboy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Sara Juan, two, three against United. I'd get Fabian rested that night and Scottish Football will have had one of the best footballers it's ever had gracing it for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
