markem 7,251 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Right lads it's Scottish Cup Final week, and like most of you I am wishing every hour of every day away. I know its been done before however let's get our favourite Hamden memories posted.........mines changed on the 17/04/2016. I would never have thought any Semi Final would take top place and perhaps it because it's so fresh in the memory however it was a long time coming and I do not think as long as we live we will ever forget these two moments: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 This, if we won, would be the most special for me of any Hampden visit and I've been to a load of top ones - Aberdeen final in 92, Celtic in the semi in 96, Lovenkrands cup final, Dundee United on penalties, Konterman semi and Jelavic final all my favourites so far along with the one a few weeks ago. But this would top it for various reasons such as we know we are back. The sweetest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 26th October, 1963 in the main stand, the muppet behind me berated Jim Forrest (who had just scored 4 goals) as "all he can do is score goals". What the fuck is a centre forward supposed to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 One of the strangest matches I've ever been to was the 2008 Scottish cup final. We were all just back from the madness and hurt of Manchester and losing the league the Thursday before this. QOTS pushed us to the end. You could feel the exhaustion of the players and support. Crazy season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,371 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The sound of the ball hitting the net when Coop hit his freekick against Aberdeen. Opposite end of the old Hampden but the noise was a thing of beauty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The first three Scottish cup finals I went to as a boy in 76,78 and 81,I seen us winning all three, doing the treble twice and then beating Dundee United 4-1 in a replay. I think we made every final from 1976 to 1983. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Favourites, jeez so many, here are a few DJ header and being behind the goal when he scored. Crowd around 112K Tam Forsyth cup final - brilliant day out plus coming from behind to win n front of Royalty - 122K I believe this was the last cup final with over 100k at Hampden Best goal - Coop in the Drybrough Cup Scotland vs England 27th May 1972 -- unreal atmosphere in a 119K crowd with thousands of Bears in the Rangers end, many with tans, sombreros and stuffed donkeys still celebrating the events of three days earlier. 1980 cup final was special in its own way 1981 beating the Arabs in the cup replay 1999 Rod Wallace scoring to beat the scum, was home on holiday and only got a ticket about an hour before kick-off Oh aye, Willie Johnston sitting on the ball versus the beasts 78-79 I think when we beat Hibs to win the cup after not one BUT TWO replays. First game 0-0,second 0-0 and the third game we won 3-2 ps Had completely forgotten about having to play Hibs in the Cup final with two replays till I started trolling the memory banks, who else was at all three games. For the weans on here, dates were 12th May, 16th May and 28th May. Wonder if it was better than penalties? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the second and third games we managed to throw away the league title against ten tarriers at the piggery. Attendances were 50,000 then 33,000 and finally 30,000. The game was in a bad state then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWAC 2,234 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 This isn't a good memory and it's not anything to do with Rangers (apart from Mr Gough scoring the winner). Pishing a rain in Glasgow in 85 and scotland 1-0 against england. Going into the stadium, I'd never been in the old north terrace before and thinking there was a stream running through the concourse I was quickly informed it's a river of pish. A shitehole of s stadium and it should have been demolished in the 80s Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
