RFC82 15 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just to help sort a pub debate amongst mates.......The question is can anyone remember why the game kicked off in the afternoon on a wednesday? it was either a 2pm or 3pm Kick off.we lost 1-3 over there, big Amo with a stinker of a handball giving away a pen and porrini got sent off in the first half.

bigblueyonder 11,158 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 So they could show all the Italian teams games that day I think... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
better than all the rest 153 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It was a uefa cup game, and back then they could be played the same day as CL games. So for TV the CL game got the prime time slot. They changed the format.and CL games were only on Tuesday and Wednesday with no other games on tv against them.

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I remember being in PE asking the Janny what the score was I was in guidance and asked to go to the toilet so I could find out the score on my wee portable radio. I burst back into class shouting that we were 1-0 up to big cheers, but Porrinni had just been sent off to big groans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRain 2,845 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Found this after a bit of a rummage around Google:Rangers have agreed to play the return leg of the forthcoming UEFA match with Parma to 1.30pm British time to accommodate Italian television. But negotiations for TV coverage of the first-leg at Ibrox continue without any deal being clinched with the BBC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps95v7 387 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Porrini scored in first half and we went in at H-T one nothing up, under no danger till Amo pressed the self destruct button in the second half playing volleyball.never forgive or forget that one.

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I don't think I've ever seen a replay of Wallace's goal in the 1st leg. I was in the Copland Rear and from memory, Colin Hendry headed it down to him and Wallace slotted it away.Niemi made a World class save as well.
