Also Artetas pen against Dunfermline to clinch League on goal difference was amazing. Such a nervy day with both us and them playing and with us losing that first goal, penalty misses etc, the destiny of the title changing hands throughout. Incredible drama and ultimately relief when the whistle went...what a feeling! Was going to post the same. I was in a hospitality box that day with the thim game on the telly inside when monkey missed that pen I almost kissed the waitress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Europe always a bonus for me so Helicopter Sunday by a MILE. Never has the gulf in emotions between the old firm been so huge or swung so dramatically . We'd never been so high and the pure joy of watching their ABSOLUTE AGONY will never fade. I know it may seem I'm giving tims a little too much importance but sadly they're our only real competition and if that high is ever surpassed it'll be heart attack material.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 lovenkrands cup final winner in the dying seconds in 2002 , we pumped them the 2nd half and they knew it, Barry cracked the post at 2-1 down from a 25 yard free kick and you thought it was not gonna be our day. Then Barry equalises with 20 min to go and it was one way traffic at this point but they were still dangerous on the break, then when most teams would settle for extra time, MCCann wips a low cross in and Lovenkrands does the rest, First time we took the lead and hardly anytime for kickoff. When we all stopped celebrating we were greeted with an empty Celtic end. That must have been a hell of a sickener for those cunts that day, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Has to be Helicopter Sunday. I can't remember a thing about that day after the scores came in. On a slightly less dramatic scale the League Championship win in 2009 at Tannadice was special, and it was the first time we didn't have to qualify for the CL; which meant we knew our budget etc. It was nice to sample that for the first time. That was a great game, and a very good way to win a league campaign. But there are so many. The last minute goal by Lovenkrands was special as well.

Have so many memories of the whole trip leaving Ayr 3 days before the final. When some people say they could write a book I always thought that one trip could fill a book. What a rush!! This. Stayed sober for the game o I would not miss a second. When Bud scored his second, I said to my pal, are we dreaming? Lovenkrands header was made more special because I was in a mixed pub with some very loud mouthed beasts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So easily, the best feeling was when that first roar went up at Easter Road in May 2005, the second best feeling was the second roar a minute later! Likewise only games attended ... Konterman howitzer for me. We were right behind the goal. The look on Douglas's face and abuse he took from us in the aftermath was priceless.

Staff came in to open the bar for us when we got back after the match. Absolutely pissed the whole time. The BUS left Ayr 3 days before the game and we had to get a polis escort from Lloret to the Nou Camp as we were running late. More things happened on that 7 day bus trip than some folk cram in a life time. Not one single person on that trip was sober or slept all the way there or the return. Most of us slept on the beach on the night of the final as we were chucked out of the hotel as some loony jumped into the pool from 3 flights up.

blueretro 704 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Helicopter Sunday has got to be the best. But another that springs go mind is Kenny Millers goal in the League cup final V St Mirren. Nine v twelve and we still came out on top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Helicopter Sunday had everything, tension, drama and a twist in the end, even a helicopter. 2009 For Fan Power Operation Tango deserves a mention, Paul Hartley's coupon was brilliant.

NetherburnBear 173 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've had a lot if great memories at games but the one that stands out for me was when lovenkrands scored against the filth in the dying minutes to win the cup, I took my son to his first old firm game that day and when the celebrations were over my boy was at least 10 rows away on some bloke's shoulders ? he's in his 20's now and still talks about that game.

The mhanky tramps are in denial over operation Tango. They will never accept that the biggest hoax 'ever' was pulled off by so few and fooled so many,namely, 800,000 mhanky tramps in Scotland.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 For attended games, it'd probably be the second goal at Rugby Park when we won 5-1. I thought I was going to die when the third went in, that was more looking to the sky in disbelief. But the second was pandemonium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Games I was lucky enough to attend 2003 v Dunfermline , as it was the first title won when i had season ticket with my daughter. League cup final v st mirren , so proud of the teams No Surrender attitude. 2011 Final v the tarriers , as my daughter & son celebrated their 1st game v they cunts . But probably the game v East Fife at Ibrox 2012 , stood at a public phone in 100 degree heat in marmaris the week before trying to get the season tickets sorted out , then must admit I had tears in my eyes & a lump in my throat as we sat watching the Club Deck fill up while the kick off was delayed . Hearing the fans that night was an unbelievable feeling after all the shit throughout the summer. Just glad i didn't know what was still to come !

JWAC 2,234 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'd probably say Helicopter Sunday too but not being at the game mines is the 5-1 game against the scum in 88 Ears were ringing after the game for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
