Possibly a bit of an understatement.I loved Willie JohnstonRemember it at the time real nasty, Bud had a bit of a temper.
Didn't Bud get the wrong guy?
Wasn't it Miller or Rougvie he was attempting to exact revenge on?
The next game at Pittodrie after that was utter mayhem. I think it was the second leg of that match, but might be wrong.
We had the Paddock end at the time, and there were bottles, cans, stones and basically any movable object traded between both sets of supporters. The Police were a joke that night.
In my opinon, this incident lit the fuse of the bad blood from Dolly towards us, which only got worse as the years progressed.
I think this was exactly it, actually.He said in an interview, "I didn't mean to get McMaster, it was an accident, I thought it was Willie Miller." …. or something along those lines.

Morally it was a penalty though.They won the tie with a last minute penalty that was for a foul about 3 yards outside the box.
Once of the worst decisions I have ever seen.
Yet refs all favour Rangers apparently.
I thought it was the League cup final the previous year when Rougvie got sent off for hitting DJ.The sheepshagging vermin point to this incident as the real beginning of the bad feeling between the clubs fans.
Wee Bud was my idolTypical diving lamb botherer. Loved Willie Johnston.
I remember these hats!Was in the Broomie as a schoolboy. Think you used to get free paper hats (kind of spiral type) at that time.
Watching that clip - Bud’s team-mates don’t rush in to stop him being surrounded by the Mutton Molesters.
Changed days.
No wonder he was kicked to hell and back every game,same as Colin SteinRemember it at the time real nasty, Bud had a bit of a temper.
Also in Bud's book he said he regretted the incident with McMaster. If you haven't read "Sent off at Gunpoint" I would recommend it.In his book he said Miller was kicking everything that came near him and he wanted to sort him out.

half way through it at the moment, to say bud was a character is an understatement, good read so far.It is a tremendous read.
