The_Corinthian 74 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 This game popped up on my Youtube suggestions.....what a game! We didn't get the result we needed but some of the performances are outstanding. Worth a watch - Edited to add - Souness`s tackle at 10mins 10 secs - Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Was at the match. The Belgian referee was fuckin at it. Was later found guilty of corruption although not for this particular match big Butcher had to be held back at the end of the game - he was going to murder the prick.

Both were as dodgy as fuck. Cooper got booted up and down the park that night and ended up getting a second booking for dissent the ref was a joke that night Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,524 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ted McMinn was my first favourite. Loved him when I was a wee guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I was also at that game we had some support that night what a noise we made before during and after the match we stayed in dussldorf the place was full of bears. I think Germany is my favourite country to go and see the gers never had one bad trip there and I have been to a few different cities within the country watching the Rangers over the years.

buster. 1,114 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 BMG were the first team I saw put us out of Europe back in 1973. Germans (Cologne) would also put us out in the EC QF 78/79 (after beating Juventus and PSV). Makes you marvel at how we managed to put Bayern Munich out of the ECWC in 72, a team full of Germans who had won the European Championship and would go onto win the WC in 74.

Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I remember the walk back to the buses after the game when we had to pass a line of German police with roughly every third one trying to hold back a big snarling alsation dug . The dugs were getting pelted with all the lose change guys had which only made them strain at the leash even more resulting in the following Bears getting rid of their change in the same manner , A vicious circle It was my first Euro trip and I can remember being surprised at how small the stadium was , not unlike tannadice IIRC . The other memory I have is of being in a bar beforehand and having to quickly suss out that you kept hold of your glass as when guys were asking for 6 lagers etc when it got busy the barman just poured 6 into whatever size glasses he had , so some boys had pint (litre ? )glasses and some had what could be described as wine glasses , same price and just your luck ! 31 years seems fuckin unreal .
