What are your favourite Old Firm moments?


Recommended Posts

Lovenkrands at Hampden, McCann at piggery, de Boer’s header - so many to pick from.

Also thoroughly enjoyed seeing scum players sent off - Mahe, Thompson (x2), TLB etc

But the daddy of them all is Big Tam, Centenary Cup Final 1973.

It’ll be one of the last things I think of when my time comes

:UK:

Ray Wilkins in the 5  1 game in 88 , that whole game really. Couldn't believe what we were seeing, in my lifetime up to then we had never handed out a doing like that to them, not even close to it. Couldve and should've been more as well. And that was after they had scored first.

Jan 97 was pretty amazing. The game looks so different now. Like the ball was harder to control. Pitches were muddied. Tackles would fly in after 1 touch of the ball. Ball seemed heavier too. Alberta could have fired a medicine ball in that night though. That day pushed us towards the 9 and was the first season a team won all 4 of the fixtures in 1 season

👌

I love the first game I remember us winning at the piggery in 1980 when we won 2-1 with an Alex Miller thunderbolt from the edge of the box.

I think that was only our 2nd win there since the Premier League started and it took us till 1989 to win there again despite the "anyone but cel**c" referees.

Tam Forsyth...

Any post with the phrase "Tam Forsyth" in it will always get a like from me. 

It's not often you see a hardened defender with enough footballing ability and ball control to ignore the football boot uppers and guide the ball in to the  goal with his studs only. True football genius. 

How many other players have scored with their studs, especially in a big match ?

I'm gonna say I think it was the 1st time I sat on the seats in our end? I may be wrong though? 

We used to get 1/4 or something of the main stand  back then, so you might have been seated there, They got the west enclosure and part of our main stand when they came to ibrox as well

Naughty but nice.

Was there for this one too. Happened to the left of a hugely impressed Rangers end at the Giro dome.

Shortly after referee Dallas is hit by a coin, referee Dallas awards Rangers a penalty.

Albertz scores but a cellic fan fan in the stand decides to confront the ref and make his opinion known by taking the shortest route his tiny brain thinks off. 

Apparently his last words on the way down were "I believe I can fly"

Luckily the ground breaks his fall, though to his credit I believe he hurt two other tims, but the daft cunt still celebrates not knowing his team is losing in embarrassing fashion.

Aye Coupland true, I'm thinking it was the first time I sat on a seat in our end behind the goal at Hampden, mind the poor sods being soaked on the terraces.... 😁

In the good old days it was the tims who had the uncovered terrace end at Ibrox and Hampden. 

Folks knew their places back then.

And a fan fell of at the Scotland Republic of Ireland game and died, you wonder how that eyesore got its safety certificate when fans can easily fall from the top tier.

Unfortunate and sad, and I totally agree.

Mitigating factor in me enjoying the tim involved in the Parkhead fall was he survived unhurt apparently, and daft cunt made a fool of himself. 

No football stadium in the sixties and early seventies deserved a safety certificate, fans were treated like shite. 

God knows how many lives were saved when the correct actions were taken after our own disaster, an accident which was waiting to happen.

And even then a mad Tory government fenced fans in like cattle, when every fan knew the only safe place to escape to at a game when there was trouble was on the park. There was no need for a Hilsborough either.
