bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Bomber hurdling the advertising boards at the piggery.Will stay with me forever.My first old firm game.My Dad got wired into driving the minibus in as the normal driver couldn't make it, my Dad knows the way to the shithole but what he was forgetting was that that was the way the celt*c fans approach the ground Driving up London Road full of soap dodging bastards and we're all sitting scarfed up with Rangers tops on, tbf the worst that happened was them banging the side of the bus and shouting abuse.Right next to the jungle and can mind them playing "Always look on the bright side of life" when Mowbray equalised, cue us returning the favour when Hateley put us 2-1 up, absolutely loved it, can mind being spat on as I was so close to their fans but it's all part and parcel of the day tbh. Went absolutely nuts when Bomber put the third away."Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Hello Hello!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec87 331 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My first was 1987. Remember the weather wasn't great. Sourness ripped the pish and Robbo smashed one of them in a tackle. A few weeks before we had queued for about 5 hours along the outside of the Govan stand to get tickets it was horrendous but worth it all in the end.

gmcf 33,940 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yeah can't mind the circumstances surrounding this match as I was only a boy, but I was aware that it was huge. Standing at the bottom of the old Gers end watching it unfold was incredible.Just a young pup myself at the time so might not be completely right , but it was important because we hadn't won the league for 10 years or so and we'd made an impressive start , winning most our games including one at the piggery. Iirc , we had just lost to Airdrie ( 4-3 ? ) which had brought c....c back into it with a good run of form ,so this was a big game for us ( remembering we only played each team twice back then ). We won , quite comfortably , and , again iirc , they fell away after that , and we eased to the title , winning it at Easter Rd with a few games to spare.

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Any memories?Sadly at this time of year I always remember the disaster, I'm sure we all do, RIP all.Any of these games live in your memory?The Ibrox Disaster game will live with me forever. Not that I had personal family or friends killed in it, but it was my first old firm game.We were living in Edinburgh, at that time, and had travelled through by train.After the final whistle we, my big bro, his bird, and me, decided to walk to Queen Street.While walking up Paisley Road West we noticed a lot of ambulances, with their sirens blaring, heading towards Ibrox. We thought that something had kicked off between us and them.We missed the train we were going for, but got on another one 45 mins later.When we got home, about an hour or so, later than we were expected, my mother burst into tears, grabbed me, hugged me, and then told us what they had heard on TV and radio.I wasn't allowed to go to another old firm game for a couple of seasons, but still managed to go as my mother had a Saturday job, so never knew where I was.
