We were having a great time as well, on the telly and everything in that pub. Never ever enjoyed scoring a goal as much as we did that day. Think I’d still be gassed if we’d won.

Newbornbairn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 When Grant's header went in and our end erupted I found myself hugging the guy next to me as we jumped up and down on the spot screaming our heads off. Never met him before, never seen him since but in that instant, we were brothers. Moments like that are the spark that keeps us going through all the turgid shite clubs like ours have to endure. I remember in the match thread an Inverness fan saying the explosion of noise from us knocked the breath out of him, it was like a wall of sound that physically assaulted them.

Chinatoon Bairn Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Scrappy 2-1 win for us hopefully. Here's hoping that those 2000 freebies can drown out Dumbarton's 1 man singing group consisting of the man with possibly the largest lungs in Scottish football shouting 'Dumbaaaaaaarton' at the top of the voice for 30-40 seconds.

ebobsboy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Usually quite tight games v Dumbarton, we can't keep many clean sheets, last week due to Brechin being rank rotten and woefully out their depth in this league. 3-1 us, Jak (2) and Longridge.

I was quite close to the stairwell and when we scored i made my way there. If you've ever experienced getting dizzy from getting up too fast then that would sum up what came over me. I was stood on the stair shitting myself incase I fell down them. That goal nearly killed me and it was only an equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Walsh, Smith, Boomer and Grant Gal out for us. Wardrop back available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Disappointing that Walsh is still out, I was hoping to see a Burt, Stirling, Walsh and Stewart combo but utterly delightful news that Wardrop is available. With Smith being out I'd imagine he'll waltz into the starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gallacher Wardrop -- Dowie -- Barr -- Dick Carswell -- Hutton Stirling -- Froxylias -- Burt Stewart If we had McLaughlin back at left back I would say that's our strongest team. Would help to have some consistency in the line up given that we've been filling gaps in the squad for what feels like a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unsurpassed moment was Crunchie’s goal v Hearts in the 98 semi final. One minute, at the top of the stairs holding two coffees, and a stack of four pies. Crunchie scores, I end up half way down stairs, some old boy on my back, coffees and pies never seen again. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. I obviously hope you don't feel like that tomorrow but this, and the way that we all felt on Saturday night when Froxy's free kick hit the net, is something that only diddy fans (with all due respect to Falkirk) will ever get. OF fans will never know that feeling when a goal goes in in an important match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Expect a tough game tomorrow but would love to see Nelson and The Jak up top supported by king Louis.Taiwo and Sibbs being magic as ever.2-0 bairns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably like that when Celtic won the European Cup, but now, they only live for scoring against one another, and the occasional win or draw with a Barcelona or a Bayern. I reckon if the SPFL set up another league containing only the OF playing one another 16 times a season, most of their following would buy into it. Diddyness is a bit of a sliding scale.

Guest Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I always worry when we have a big home crowd and hope to make a big positive impression. It’s went off the rails so many times. Hartley just might be what makes the difference this time. After this, his next big millstone milestone is winning the first league game of the season for a dozen or so years. Then we’ll see what’s what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never met him before, never seen him since but in that instant, we were brothers. Had a similar experience with a guy when we scored the third v hibs in the semi. Only difference is I see him up the town quite often and we both look at each other and acknowledge the shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that goal went in, I forgot that my 8yo daughter, who was getting tired by that point, was half-lying across my knee. I jumped up celebrating, looked down, and for a second couldn't understand why my wee girl was lying along the row of seats in front, with a "WTF just happened?" look on her face.
