invergowrie arab Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Obviously for United it could be our many many cup winning years, pumpings of the Rangers or putting Dundee out about 6 years in a row However, this was the most fun/drunkest I have ever been at a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 In terms of games I've been at and for the atmosphere, shock value and fantastic banter (the red card, if you decide to watch the video), Dunfermline Athletic 2, Rangers 0 in front of a packed East End Park with the terracing and cage (one of the best grounds for atmosphere IMO, even if I'm biased myself, before the all seated rubbish) takes some beating. And it was the featured game on Sportscene that night too. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Pretty sure it was glue. Please check back to Only An Excuse (A Tale of 2 Seasons IIRC) and let me know if I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I really wish I could see the highlights of our 3-2 loss to Hibs a few years ago. Greg Stewart puts us a goal up after 10 seconds and Jon Robertson scores a wonder volley. Best atmosphere I've been in in the old stand at the ground.

Adamski Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Getting pumped 6-2 at home by Ross County when they were in the Highland League was a lesson in my youth about life, football, and the realisation that Queens were probably not going to be a very good football team. I remember the 8-3 against Forfar as well. Mind you there was this... ...all of this stuff (which I wish someone would make a youtube video of without the music over the top)... ...and 1:40 to 2:47 of this... In my entire life I'm pretty certain I've not and never will go as spontaneously mental as the moment when Thomson's header hit that back of that net. Rangers were on the ropes and I really thought we were winning it at that point. We'll always have that cup run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I also think it's "victory has been won" rather than "victory's been won" in the first line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I vaguely remember watching the 1984 cup final on TV where ten man Celtic lost 2-1 to Aberdeen after extra time, Packie Bonner had a hand in both Dons goals, Paul McStay scored with a tackle after Roy Aitken was harshly sent off by MIB Bob Valentine. My dad took me and my brother to the following year's final after reading in that mornings Daily Record it was pay at the gate behind the goals, a spur of the moment decision and an 8 year old me saw practically f**k all in a dangerously overcrowded Celtic end, remember getting rag dolled at both late goals as Celtic came from behind to beat Dundee United 2-1, not for the last time in a Scottish Cup Final that decade either !

velo army Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The season we got to the semis (against a juiced-oot-their-nappers-on-EBTS Rangers side who would win the whole thing) was incredible as our cup record throughout my lifetime has been grim. We put out both Dundee and ICT after dramatic replays. The Caley home game sticks out as it's the last time I stood on the terrace at Firhill. We also rinsed Caley 4-0 at home the previous week, so I stupidly turned up expecting to win. Wyness and Robson were class for them in what was a quality cup-tie. This absolute peach from our centre half (and probably my favourite ever Jags player) Scott Paterson just about made up for not winning over one game.

PRS Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I travelled up from Edinburgh for this game with a St Johnstone supporting colleague. We were right behind the goal where Ian Polwarth equalised. We were going mental and he looked ashen faced. Bloody great day in the Howden End Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
