Super v Gazza 96 cup final

[WinkieWATP]

Clash just before half time where Coisty took exception to something Gazza said. Bit of handbags on the pitch which carried on into the dressing room at HT before Walter sorted it out.

Had it came to blows where would you put your money?

BTW Gazza came out and put in a second half performance that was up there with the sheep 8iar game Imo.

Archie Knox took Gazza upstairs to the bar and made him drink x2 double brandy's...whatever works

Ally said Walter near took the dressing room door off and knew to shut up. Gazza kept going and Walter pinned him to the wall

 

[Johnny Yen]

McCoist for all his cheeky chappie persona was not to be messed with, Smith and Knox as well as several other players have commented on this in the past, he had a ruthless streak.

Most top players do.

McCoist without doubt.

[Sonny]

McCoist was hard as %^*&.

 

[imager]

Ally was a hard bastard, Goughie said he’s seen hundreds of fights on training grounds and McCoist was involved in most of them.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Has it ever came out what Gazza actually said to Ally?

 

[Danger Zone]

Great game. Super doing what super does, Gazza doing what Gazza does, Neil McCann gave us a torrid time down our right flank.

The McCoist/Gazza exchange was two winners wanting to win. Gazza showed his genius in that second half. I always loved McCoist telling the tale of how he knew to shut up when Walter was angry, Gazza didn’t and ended up pinned to the dressing room wall with a look of fear in his eyes as Walter raged. It all worked out in the end. Legends.

 

[Sandy76]

Happened right in front of me.
Mccoist had the crazy eyes on.

Ask Mark Fulton who'd have won.

There's your answer.

I was in the temporary stand. Thought it was going to collapse during the bouncy second half

Think that would surprise a few mate.

McCoist could cause it.

A young Neil McCann and Davie Weir both playing.

Think it was gesture Gazza made pointing to his head as if Super was clueless.

McCoist certainly wasn’t clueless, see a lot of old goals where he creates it without touching ball.

 

[All of the Lights]

Charlie Miller’s role in Gaza’s goal is underrated, movement before it and first time lay-off were quality too.

What a player he was. Should have made far more of his career than he did.

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

Proper team where your baws would be kicked when deserved and you knew it.

 

[CaptainWallace]

If Dick had come in a few years earlier, Miller might have gone on to fulfil his potential.

Fergie benefited massively from the change in tenure, imo.

They kissed and made up at Tannadice.

 

[gordy73]

Think McCoist was solid and hard. Gazza was solid and strong himself but I just think McCoist had a nasty streak to him. He used to fight with Richard Gough all the time in training and big Goughy was no shrinking violet

 

[Hap Hapablap]

McCoist would throw Gascoigne about like an empty tracksuit in a fight situation, and Gazza was a strong boy as well.

It's well documented about Supers mean streak and he was not to be messed with.

 

[tazzabear]

A young Neil McCann and Davie Weir both playing.

McCann gave us a torrid time that day.
Didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.

Charlie Miller’s role in Gaza’s goal is underrated, movement before it and first time lay-off were quality too.

For one of Gascoigne’s goals, Laudrup moved across the Hearts back line taking his marker with him.
Gascoigne scored from the space created,

I remember listening to this one on the radio and buzzing to get home to watch the highlights. Neil McCann was some player on his day btw

When a domestic player is causing you that much consistent grief then you just need to sign him up.

Pretty sure Advocaat when straight to the board after a game at Ibrox when again McCann gave us a rough time. 2-2 draw in driving sleet if I remember correctly.

I'm sure that's the game where its rumoured Gazza marched up to the bar in full kit before the match and downed a double in front of the Hearts board.

I've always took that story with a pinch of salt.

I doubt Gazza knew the inner workings of the Piggery from the dressing room to a hospitality bar. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

 

[tazzabear]

A wee word on this one.
The amateurish antics of these two could have cost us that day.
Both could have been ordered off for the “skirmish”.

McCoist had clearly had enough of Gascoignes shit, in my opinion only one man was acting the amateur and it wasn't Super.

Even though the eventual outcome was good for us that day, that whole episode was an early insight into where Gazza was and where he was heading. Especially with the famous story about the alcohol.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

How the fuk did Robertson's goal stand, horrific decision from the linesman.

Super without a shadow of doubt

 

[Jamiegatami]

Never noticed McCann and Ally at full time going to swap shirts and McCann saying “not just now”!

I think that was the game with the orange ball.

 

[pandager1]

Really interesting to hear that McCoist could handle himself, doesn't seem like the type!

 

[TN8]

McCoist would destroy him. Knew how to look after himself.

I was there as a 13 year old with my dad in row C or D so quite close to the touchline. My 2 take aways from it were 1. We should sign Neil McCann and 2. The match ball, which I still have to this day.

Especially in front of goal!

You can’t leave us hanging SDF.

Edit : ah the Hibs game at Easter Road. I was there that day, how could I forget.

that was in Walter’s final season. 2-2, last minute equaliser from Albertz from a deflected free kick. Bjorklund arsed up for the second hearts goal, Goram arsed up for the first albeit it was a stunning finish from McCann

Came on to post exactly that.
“Naw, no the noo, fuxache, naebody knows I’m a closet bear, yet”

 

[tazzabear]

Quite unbelievable that decision.
The only thing on a par with it is not remembering it at the time.
Actually, more than that, not even knowing about it till now.
