That bastard boli was in the same team They were. They could have won that Champions League without cheating as they had the talent. Frank Sauzee too. Was Papin playing for them at that time? I forget if he was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,276 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Leeds home was immense. However, loudest I have ever heard our fans was the cup final 93 (Aberdeen at the Piggery). Culmination of a fantastic treble winning season with great European run to boot. Place was absolutely rocking that day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Corinthian 74 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 2-2 at Ibrox against the filth, game where Roberts ended up in goal......first and only time I have heard `sound`, become a frequency.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 53,557 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Definitely the Battle of Britain Leeds game - you could feel the ground beneath your feet moving the noise was unbelievable. Also at Hamdump after Ian Durrant's being assaulted, again v the sheep, Skol Cup maybe? the hatred was boiling that day, I honestly thought at one point someone would go on the pitch and end Simpson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camshy 812 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Original helicopter Sunday in the 03 season. Last game at Ibrox v Dunfermline with Sellic also playing at the same time in Killie it was down to who scored more. That day, drama, tension, fear and air of expectation, hope and sheer joy. It can not and will never be replicated and was an absolute joy to experience that amazing feeling topped off with winning an incredible record breaking title.......what football is all about.

Guys like Deschamps, Boksic and Voller in their prime against guys like John Brown, David Robertson, Dave McPherson, Stuart McCall, Pietr Huistra, Ian Ferguson etc .. our strength was being a solid unit and organised not trying to outclass teams like Marseille. Regarding atmosphere Man United at Ibrox in the Champions League in 2003 and Sheffield Wed away a few years ago are right up there for me. Agree with you to some extent about Marseille. However, I thought we really missed an opportunity not pushing for the win in Marseille after we equalised. We were really passive in the last half hour, thought we settled for the draw hoping that the last round of games may work in our favour. If we had went for it we may well have got picked off by them but we will never have better chance to make the Euro final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGOH 2,344 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Pre match build up maybe Villarreal, Porto 3-2 after Soti scored was special as well. Against the taigs, 3-2, 2012 was immense, scudding them 3-0 when wee Novo scored 2 was good as well. So many different games have a special atmosphere for different reasons. we haven't witnessed anything close to these games in years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOL153 No Surrender!!! 1,810 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 A remember,well vaguely the Parma 2-0 game, a was behind goal to the left with my brother when Vidmar scored, am sure we played them twice in Europe not too long apart,a remember having to get a half day because we played them away about two in the afternoon or something,we got beat as well, but the Parma 2-0 was a good bounce and sing song for me and thousands that night Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be mistaken, but I'm sure the club laid out cards that had the lyrics to Blue Sea of Ibrox to them for that game too. I'd heard the song on the CDs we'd play on the way to games, but that was the first time I heard the whole stadium singing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
