After considering the best celebrations, what about the reverse side of this? Which moments have been the most devastating at the time?

For Scotland, I'll go with the last minute equaliser conceded to Belgium in a WC qualifier at Hampden about seven years ago.
Having led two nil against ten men, getting pegged back in this way was heart breaking and a reasonably promising campaign withered away from this moment.

Last minute goals are particularly powerful in this sense and my Queens moment comes from throwing away a 3-1 lead against St. Johnstone in the last couple of minutes on the opening day last year.
Obviously, there have been much lower points for the club. Losing 6-2 at home to then non-league Ross County springs to mind, but for a single moment of joy or despair, I think you struggle to beat last minute goals.

Losing 4-1 at home to relegated Stenhousemuir 2003-04 (the collapse season).
Had we just won that game we'd still have been 3 points clear in 2nd place (although the title was effectively gone) going into the final day and we could have scraped promotion.
Nope.
Losing 2-1 at Cliftonhill, with Yardley scoring a last minute winner, to leave us something like 9 points off the top of the 3rd with only 5 games to go.
Drawing 1-1 at Stranraer when we had spent 5 months catching those tinks only to throw it away.
Losing 1-0 to Peterhead in the play-offs with the most inept attacking performance known to mankind.

Last year doesn't even fecking qualify next to year after year of abject/glorious failure.

Walking out of 3 cup finals in 4 years ,after getting beat every time, just makes you feel awful!!

Then there was that day in Perth

I would need to go for the 6-2 humping by, at the time Highland League side, Ross County in the SC replay.

Not only was it a total failure from the team, I was supposed to be working and staying in Stranraer that night and borrowed a car to get to and from the game, and sod's law came into play on the way back to Stranraer when I came round a corner and a lump of wood ripped the whole exhaust off the car!

ADMINISTRATION

Losing some players like Caballero, Ketsbaia, Nemsadze, Cannigia, Speroni.

Seeing the club on the brink and not being sure if they'd be playing next season.

But thanks to the solidarity of the fans amongst other things, we are slowly but surely rebuilding. People can say whatever they want about our players but im just happy the Dee are still here, hopefully going back to the SPL.

Results wise certainly come nowhere near that however, i can think of nothing worse than derby defeats(against United-not the mickey mouse derby). Although the Grenta Hampden match was a bad one. Also remember my blue face paint running off my face after getting on the bus after the Aberdeen Coca Cola final. The run in the cup saved the team financially so its not all bad, but the performance was non existent and even as an 8 year old, that was devastating.

Yep it's not easy being a Dee.

Hugh Scott 'running' the club

All of these, along with the 6-1 tanking at Hamilton in the collapse season. McPhee destroyed us that day, helped greatly by our defence.

Worst of all, it's hard to define a particular moment of it, but administration. Having to go into the ground as a 9 year old and shovel snow off the pitch to try and get games played. Watching guys who hadn't been paid playing their hearts out, but clearly not being good enough and getting shafted 6-0 at home to Ayr. Having Darren Davies, Martyn Naylor and Andy Millen getting a game every week despite being some of the worst players in our history. Then, after being out of administration, but still affected by it, being relegated for the second year running. Hugh Scott getting away from it all with no punishment whatsoever, being allowed to happily go along running other businesses and making money, the scumbag.

Normally I would have said administration, but the day before we went into it we won a CIS Cup semi.

There have been two lows that readily come to mind - the first was the 7-0 gubbing we took at Easter Road. After that I was utterly convinced we would be relegated (and we were).

The other was a few weeks beforehand when Alloa pumped us out of the Scottish Cup.

the play offs werent nice. Losing to dumbarton when they hadnt won away for a year wasnt great either, but you could see that coming.

Last day of the 06/07 season. James Grady's a cunt

Losing 1-0 to Forfar in the League Cup was bad.

Inverness

Please you forgot little , but a Dundee legend was always gonna sick it it right into you, hahahax100

the 5-1 and 6-0 back to back defeats at the hands of St. Johnstone and Gretna at Firhill.

"Home" leg against Hafnafjordorrorjrodordjorjdr.

Scotland 2-2 Belgium as well for me equaled by Italian equaliser during the last campaign.

Relegation at Almondvale (or whatever the f**k its called).

How on earth can you call Grady a legend?


Low points for me would be administration, relegation followed by Alan Kernaghan.

Was it not an Italian winner?

Scotland - Getting beat 1-0 by Belarus at home

Dundee - Some dundee derbies where we lost and aberdeen cup final where we lost was a hard one to take, plus the way we lost to rangers in the final

definately the night we lost on sudden death penalties in the league cup at parkhead in 2003. crushing. we missed 3 penalties which, if scored, would have won us the game.

The fighting that broke out at Morton v huns once Bobby Thomson was red-carded for Sandy Jardine's swan dive. Seeing blood-covered unconscious bodies being carried past you is not something that an 8 year old should witness at football.

Fans celebrating an unknown injury to Queen's Sean O'Connor at a game at Palmerston.

Two fans fighting each other over whether it was manager Allan McGraw's or Chairman John Wilson's fault that we were 2-0 down at Stirling and early in the season not looking likely to get out of the 2nd.

Tannadice after the playoffs- it still rankles 12 years on.

Losing 3-1 going on about 8-1 at Palmerston under Campbell and knowing for certain then that we were getting relegated as the team had no fight- Jags fans fighting amongst themselves an everything that day, horrible.

Losing 2-1 to Peterhead at home in leg 1 of the playoff under Campbell- thought we were done for, stuck in div 2 and probably going part-time but fortunately, and that is the word (if perhaps not the spelling ) we got out of that one.

Losing 6-0 at home to Gretna under Campbell- I'd never seen anyone beat us by more than 5 goals, not even the OF.

Losing 4-0 at home to Clyde under Campbell (see a theme?)- I left after the 4th went in, fearful that it was going to be double figures.

Worst Scotland was that 0-1 vs Belarus- inept. That was a shit day from start to finish for me though so perhaps biased. The Italy one was a sickener but in hindsight I'm not too fussed as it meant I could enjoy more of my time abroad.

Eh,by putting a 25yarder past Alan Coombe in a Derby. That alone, although he had other good times when he was at Dens means to me he is a legend Feck it, anybody who scores against the Arabs or the Fermers is a legend












Ok legend is a bit severe, but a mediocre player at best lol

Perth, 2004. The sickest I have ever felt after a football match.

CIS Cup final, 2006. We never turned up, never even gave it a go. At least in the 04 and 07 Scottish Cup finals we did and I was proud of the team, although completely devastated.

Relegation at Inverness was quite painful as well, as was the 3-4 cup debacle against Airdrie and last season's 3-0 pumping by Stirling Albion. No disrespect to the Binos, but that day was the day we sank as low as I've ever seen the Pars.

7-0 at Iprix V the Hun scum in 97' was a bad day all round- gubbed and gobbed on by some soap dodging twat from up above. Not the nicest day for a 10 year old.

The 2-0 loss at Livi in 2005 which sent us bottom with 3 games left. Thankfully it turned out to be Hay's last game in charge but I was utterly fuming at the final whistle, convinced we were going to be relegated.

Losing the cup final against Rangers in 2003.

Administration, and the sacking of Nemsadze, Caballero etc.

Most of the relegation season, most notably the 5-0 pumping by Dunfermline at EEP.

Most of the first season down, being down 4-0 at half-time to Clyde at home, and the Gretna cup semi defeat.

When we lost that late goal at Partick last season, effectively ending our title chances.

No, no - right first time.

liquidation

play off final against stirling

one of the biggest has to be religation by far. Was hurtful to see us loose all our great players. What a fantastic squad we had like. Cup final defeat against rangers is another. Also the shocking defeat against gretna, and last season not winning the league with our poor results at the end of a season.

Losing to Inverness in the penultimate game of the 03/04 season. We were well ahead of them a couple of months prior and we threw away the league. That was heartbreaking.

Losing the Challenge Cup Final in 07 on penalties was quite bad.

And just generally last season our home performances were pathetic.

Don't think Airdrie fans need to reply to this question really.

No "effectively" about it, we beat Alloa 1-0 that day meaning we won the league no matter what happened in any other games that or the next week.




By spooky coincidence that is exactly my opinion as well !

That was so crap that i was more up for the falkirk game the next week which turned out to be 0-0

No point answering this as an Airdrie fan, although in our latest version as Airdrie United I suppose the last game of our first season ranks pretty high... we'd just won at Stranraer and the announcer read out the latest Brechin score as a full-time score which would have given us promotion. The team got halfway through a victory lap before we found out Brechin had actually equalised in injury time. Gutting.

As a Scotland fan there have been so many heartbreaking moments, but for sheer incompetence it has to be the Faroes game when we were trailing 2-0 at half-time.

Inverness winning at Broadwood when we bottled promotion.

And last season when the rumours went round that Thistle had scored twice against Morton, saving us from the play offs. That was crushing realising that it wasnt true.

The McCabe/Imrie incident at Hamilton was also not a nice thing to see.

Winning 4-0 against st johnstone absolute joke

Pedantic I know but the 4-0 at HT to Clyde game was the following season. You only had to deal with us scoring twice in the last 10 minutes to get a 3-3 draw that first season

As for Clyde, the 4-1 defeat to Queens last season. I almost felt physically sick after such a horrible performance.

Its safe to say I lost interest and track of the title race that day.

Has to be relegation. Administration was bad but there was always hope that you would come out of that and of course we did. Relegation was a reality and still to hold the record for the worst ever points tally in the SPl doesn't help. Cheers Paul, you dick.

Losing to ICT at home (only needing a draw)on 2nd last game of the season-Knocking us of top spot since Oct/Nov or something and thus missing out on promotion to the SPL..

Still makes me sick to think about it

surely yesterday must run it close!

I can imagine, hope this doesn't sound like rubbing it in - it's genuinely not meant to be, but that season has to be the most amazing turnaround in football ever.

Thing about that that day was when it was 4-1 to Stenhousemuir and 1-0 to us with 10 mins to go and there had to be a 6 goal swing i.e. Morton had to win 5-4 and we had to lose 2-1 for us not to clinch the title, one of my mates was still absolutely sh!tting himself every time Alloa got within 30 yards of our goal, even with so many goals required in such a short space of time...

Not for nothing does he call himself "Wearealldoomed" on here !

What happened?

The 7-0 pasting off Aberdeen many moons ago pretty much sucked balls.

Yeah, I wondered that as soon as I wrote it. Still, pretty crappy day.

On the park.....

Getting relegated to the 3rd in 2002 had many lows - including losing 4-1 midweek at home to Forfar (I mean, Forfar for fuxake!)

Losing 5-1 midweek at Love St in 1994 to a skunk side who clearly took their foot off the pedal at half time (4-0).

Driving to Peterhead and being 4-0 down to a team with 10 men, all in the first half (2002).

Being utterly torn a new one by Accies in a 6-1 defeat in the season we blew it.

Seeing us unfurl the 1st division flag in '87, then being forced to move from where I was standing by a wave of septic casuals - then seeing a 4-0 defeat.

Having to sit and watch Airdrie's title day - Accies were winning, we were 2-0 down and we knew that all faint hopes had gone. All this at a ground we had won 6-1 at earlier in the same season.

Getting pumped 5-0 at East End Park in the huge match towards the end of the relegation season was hard to stomache. When we got pumped 4-0 at Airdrie 1st season down was hard to take, thats when it truelly hit home we werent going up for a long time.

Didn't Gretna do worse?



I think that was the game that ended the McCabe's career. I don't know much about it, except it involved his windpipe and he could have died in the situation.

Another dundee fan that doesn't care about Saints I see.

for airdrie utd it's got to be relegation and also last season when we lost in the playoffs although grtena going bust made up for it

Was the game where McCabe almost died on the pitch, watching doctors trying to resuscitate him, ambulance on the pitch. Its not something you ever want to see during a football match.
