2002 League Cup Semi (Bertie Yarder)

[HSMS]

Watching a compilation of goals against the filth, one thing that struck me was the massive empty spaces behind their goal at that game.

Anyone know the reason for it? Other than them generally having an inferior support?

Their end was under renovation.

Was a reduced capacity cos Hampden was getting done up.

I remember feeling very lucky to get a ticket

Was it a renovation in relation to the Champions League final that came in May?

I sold mine cos I was backshift. Still regret it. Should have phoned in sick.

Think so, remember them having big screens in the north stand east and west corners for a while or maybe even just for the final itself.

Was sitting on the couch with a half-eaten fish supper when Bert's bullet went in.
Needless to say, I had to clean bits of fish off the roof the next morning.

 

[Rangers daft]

How fast do you reckon that ball was travelling?! An unreal hit from big bert

Oh Betie Bertie all the way home on the bus.

Was that game a Thursday night or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Went Away the next morning remember it well. Just out of the blue & out of character. Hahaha top goal, good memories.

Like when they laughed when Erik Bo came off the bench.

That, and the roof was fucked.

I had a seat 2nd front row at our corner flag, right next to the pricks. Their faces

THAT Volley by Zidane?

It doesn’t show you in that clip, but in the highlights the camera is literally bouncing up and down when the Rangers end start doing the bouncy after the goal.
Edit...found it, around 9 mins 20 seconds of this video.

1) When the board reopened I & had recently watched planet of the apes - used to have the character as my avatar (never clicked with the McNeil connection)
2) Thread on here featuring Twitter account ‘cheap panini’ who was doing Rangers players at the time, thought it was funny & picked McCoist.
Happy to help
