We pumped them out of the Scottish Cup in March 09, also a quarter final replay after a 1-1 draw at home, midweek, at Pittodrie. Game was rank but we won on penalties, and the atmosphere in the away end was one of the best I've ever been in. East Fife knocked them out of the league cup a couple of years later. Kept hoping that they'd draw Cowdenbeath and that they (Cowden) would complete the flyer over Aberdeen. They got pumped out of the Scottish Cup by Queen of the South in 08 (semi at Hampden) too, and Queens Parks in the league cup the year before. They really were shitebags in the cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best away day I've been to. I've posted countless times about that game. We were ridiculously up against it. Nobody gave us a chance after what had happened before. It was an awful game from a footballing perspecting, and the second half went on forever, but what a night it was. First cup upset I'd seen us do when going to games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 What a game that was. Absolutely fantastic and well worth the journey up. Can't say I remember the pitch being as bad as that, but the weather was horrible and it is just about the coldest I've ever been at a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 3 hours ago, Raithie said: That Aberdeen game was another stotter. Me and 3 mates made a last minute decision to head up mainly to tick Pittodrie off our list and not holding out much hope of us coming away with a win. Horrendous weather on the way there but what a night overall and an epic bounce about in the stand. 53 minutes ago, Michael W said: What a game that was. Absolutely fantastic and well worth the journey up. I was in a group of three that went up, one of them being an Aberdeen fan who joined us in the away section despite being a bit worried about being able to keep quiet any time Aberdeen scored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Will never forget the sight of my best pal since I was wee, skulking away at full time on the other side of the segregation fence. Braw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant night where I came away buzzing. Off the top of my head, Munich away, Coca Cola Cup Final and Semi Final, Vaughan Hat-trick game against the Pars. I never made Dundee away in the cup, but evidently that was not one to miss either. Others? What’s the best game you’ve seen at Starks? What’s the best away game you’ve been at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Not sure If anyone has mentioned but the Hibs away game in the cup in the 1997/98 season was decent. A John Millar double in a 2-1 win. Would like to see footage of that actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got extended highlights of that game (about 20 minutes worth) but I’ve got quite a few from the 96/97 season to go up before I get to that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) LV's wiki page is inaccurate too, he hasn't had 3 ACL ruptures all to his right knee. He's done both knees and one of them twice. Still at least it didn't say 3 ACL ruptures one to each leg. Edited May 30, 2020 by Scottydog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the away game at Brechin in the cup and the QF at Falkirk. Great days out. Falkirk result and performance was dreadful but I was used to that that season. When you look at the players we had that season it’s a fairly shocking piece of team management that we managed to get ourselves relegated. Thanks to the Janny and Iain Munro. Not forgetting Tommy McLean’s cameo. Edited May 30, 2020 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a Dumbarton fan has been the main contributor which is a bit of a red neck for our fan base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the lockdown, rehab is going well. It's just over 5 months since the operation - anniversary was 5th May. It's going well, I'm back running and feeling fitter and stronger every day. I still have a bit to go but I'm past the worst parts and every day that goes by is a day closer to me being fully match fit." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That 96/97 season was a fucking disaster, we lost all 4 derbies, got horsed by old rangers 6 - 0 at home and were pretty much a shambles. Iain Munro was a piss poor appointment from the get go. If we had just sat for a few weeks following McLeans fucking off and got a decent manager which wouldn't have been hard things might be drastically different. we dod beat Dundee United twice and had a draw with Celtic which pretty much ended their title Hope's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
