tam the bud Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 16 minutes ago, Thenorthernlight said: Nonsense. Nothing to do with the police. If Aberdeen play Celtic in a cup final, theoretically those coming from the north east will arrive at the east end of the ground. Yet Aberdeen are out in the west stand “because Celtic have an end”. It’s pathetic & is 100% the SFA’s doing Same for the Buds. Celtic end when playing Rangers and Rangers end when playing Celtic. In my 55 years of watching football, it had never been any different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever_blueco Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 West end of Hampden is better and not just saying that as a Rangers fan . Been in and used east end for gigs at hampden and when younger for cup semi’s and finals against teams who didn’t take a full half of the stadium allocation. west end takes you into a built up inner city street with far more shops, pubs, cafes and transport on offer . East end just empties you into a housing area with not a lot there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So not only do Celtic get their own end, but they get to feel sorry for themselves about it too? An absolute gift for them. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some kind of unwritten sectarian thing that determines what end teams get at the 'neutral' national stadium. Aye. A kafflick & a proddy end. Sectarian Football Association SFA stuck in the dark ages . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd dig two big holes for you all to stand in. You can claim any end you like after that. (I'd fill the holes with water as well) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychurch Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 What a shame. I don’t remember the Aberdeen game that has been mentioned a lot, but the Leeds and Holland games showed what a keeper he was. He was lucky, but as Gary Player famously said “the more I practice, the luckier I get”. One of the top 5 Scottish players on my lifetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an option for club to buy extra medals I believe so yeah, definitely likely that he was granted one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 1968 the West terracing got covered. 1990 before that happened for the East.I'm sure I heard from a friend (Rangers supporter) many years ago that Rangers had made a contribution and that was why that end was covered. No idea how true that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I have 2 memories of Goram v the Dons. One was a cup tie in Dumfries where he was taking dogs' abuse from the travelling support in good humour and bending over for an indecently long time to present his ample rear in retaliation. The other is this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Celtic End' didn't have a roof but it did have a much bigger capacity (somewhat reduced when the rear bank was demolished). Anyway my first memory of Andy Goram was watching his Scotland debut v East Germany from the also uncovered North Enclosure. "Andy, Andy gie us a wave" came the chant from the 'Rangers End', and he duly obliged somewhat sheepishly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
