Mark. 69 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 God Blessed Nacho Novo. Anyone remember where they were, what they did when the ball hit the back of the net? I remember sitting on my couch emotionless, numb throughout the penalty shootout, then when Vieri missed I celebrated like we had just won the Champions League , then when Nacho put the ball in the net I tried to jump up and shout but my knees collapsed and I just sat there crying blubbering "Manchester! Manchester! Oh my god i'm going to Manchester!". For me, it was special because me and my dad already had a ticket, he phoned me shortly afterward and we were just blubbering down the phone to each other. Soon after, the realisation hit me and jumping around and running up and down the street ensued. God, I love Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 It feels like yesterday! One of the greatest nights of my life. I was sitting on my sofa and my dad was across the room and when Nacho put that penalty in the house erupted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltonLoyal 2 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 was in the house nad when the penalty went in i hadn't got a clue what i was doing, i just remember running round the back garden screaming at the top of my voice. My mate said he was gonna piss himself because i didn't even check the patio doors were open before i ran through them Although to be honest, the way i was feeling, i probably wouldn't have noticed if i'd ran straight through the glass.

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 One of the greatest days to be a bear. I was in the back row, next to the flagpole. I even got a blessing from papa on the way there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I was about ten rows infront of Manticore. The greatest night of my life by a distance, will never forget it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol 401 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Why the hell was I nervous watching that just now! What an amazing night. Truly one of the best. Huge penalty by Whittaker by the way. Not that they all weren't but he had to put that one away after Barry's was saved or it'd have been a non-starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I was in a pub in Carlisle. There was about 8 bears watching it too and a few of my mates were watching it as well, but mostly the pub was full of English people who weren't bothered about the game. I remember when Novo's penalty went in all of us bears went mad. I was just jumping up and down screaming as loud as I could. I looked round and saw that my two mate who weren't even Rangers fans were going just as crazy as me! The other people sitting around the pub trying to have a quiet meal and a pint weren't impressed though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Watched it in my room drinking more and more as the game went on, when Nacho scored I just went and hugged everyone in my house before proceeding onto others houses and doing the same there. Great night, one of the best ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboy94 54 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I remember screaming the house down when it hit the back of the net! Then called all my mates saying 'We've done it, we've fucking done it!!!!!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGer 1 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Watched it on the computer here at work, with the sound turned way down so I could pretend to be working. When Novo put the penalty in, I just couldn't believe it. It was terrible to have something that great to celebrate and no bears to join in for a sash bash. I called polar bear to celebrate and then headed straight to the nearest boozer with a mate from work. At that point, I no longer cared about whether I should leave the office or not.

Dado 334 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Watched it in the flat with Badger and three or four of my mates. When the penalty went in we all went nuts, doing an on the spot bouncy.
