Still regret not taking a ticket I was offered for my son
My dad would have swapped me for a ticket.
My wife who is Canadian, asked me the exact same thingWas 8 at the time & remember asking my dad after the game why he was so emotional, boy do I know why now fantastic day WATP
My dad was going to give away our tickets I was 14 but can remember him saying “%^*& it we’ve came this far you never know”To my eternal shame, the truth is I didn't believe.
eI lived locally at the time. Couldn't get a ticket though. Stayed at home, couldn't watch! Checked scores saw they were winning. Heard a roar go up at Easter Road popped radio on , us one up. Decided to leave the radio on to hear us hopefully go on and score another 1 or 2 and at least do our job. I think I was cleaning the oven to take my mind off things when Mothwerwell scored. Stopped cleaning, telly went on, rest is history. What a day.
To my eternal shame, the truth is I didn't believe.
What a day!
Couldn’t go to the game and had to work that day. Driving home thinking it was all over.
McDonald scores his first and I pull into the next street and just waited. Didn’t dare text my mates until it was over
Sitting praying by the side of the road and he scores again - I start dancing out the car in the middle of the street - folk must have thought I was nuts!
went out to celebrate that night. Nothing will ever top that
It's all on in real time on BBC Scotland tonight at 7pm.
Don't be so hard on ursel - I recall the most inane of detail, but can't recallTo my eternal shame, the truth is I didn't believe.
Has it?????Thought it had been changed to an old Scotland game?
Yes mate, I just doubled check. Seems to be World Cup games all weekendHas it?????
oh no, just checked and it is - fkin bungcaster again I expectThought it had been changed to an old Scotland game?
I'd been looking forward to it all week. Oh well, YouTube highlights of it instead.Yes mate, I just doubled check. Seems to be World Cup games all weekend
Least we won’t have to endure another weekend of Scotland World Cup games can’t be many more than 3 good resultsI'd been looking forward to it all week. Oh well, YouTube highlights of it instead.
Watched it in a pub and when all bears started celebrating at Easter Road the barman turned over to the Motherwell game only for it to blue screen. Pub was deathly silent waiting to see what was happening. Eventually came on to see McDonalds 2nd. Fuckin pandemonium! Drinks everywhere. Tables knocked over. Everyone jumping about. Happy days!

No it was a pub on Bute.A pub in Gibraltar?
My wife's aunt has run a pub there for many years, and it has a picture of Ibrox on the wall
No it was a pub on Bute.
What pubs that? Will pop in next time in over
Know where you are. Tbh never been in as its advertised as an Irish bar.The Venture Inn
There's no shame in that mate, it was a lost cause. It's a good job Marv's on first name terms with the top man. Compare that joy to the joy of a celtic fan completing the "best ever" 9inarow. I've said it before on here but the joy you feel is directly proportionate to the pain they feel and it's the same the other way. That's why we all know that there is no joy for them this season, the pain is not there for us.To my eternal shame, the truth is I didn't believe.
