We won 3-1 on the night. That was a very strong Inter side - whilst we had the likes of Dave McKinnon, Cammy Fraser and Dave Mitchell!! I'll always remember that night. Great performance, when we lined up at kick off I couldn't believe John Mc Clelland was playing up front, we had every intention of going for it, and nearly managed the overall win.

They had Rummenigge at his best too and (I think) Brady. When I think of us getting stuck into opponents more technically gifted than us, it is this game and the 2-0 win over Juventus I think about.

May have been a league cup tie or something ,or maybe Cappielow was getting their prayer box installed It was one of the best things a bear could see, when this club went hurtling down the leagues , never to return. Hopefully not . Pity it couldn't happen to quite a lot of others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaydubya11 580 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Nowadays they do censor any "bad words" and the other week when they showed the 2002 Scottish cup final the BBC apologised beforehand for "some of the songs as it was 18 years ago" fact is...only Rangers's songs are considered "bad".....strange that eh...

It was Scottish Cup tie about twenty years ago, Craig Moore scored the only goal of the game,I think it was moved because Cappielow couldn't get a safety certificate for the crowd they were expecting, your right about Morton fans,I think they used to call the cowshed at Cappielow little Dublin.

Best ever on that era in my Opinion was beating Borussia Dortmund, think the Goalie was Schumacher, anyway he got Pelters. Fuck reminds me Big Dave Mitchell, fuck im old It’s wasn’t Dortmund it was Koln that Schumacher played for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Weird those days. We all remember the good days and a lot of good days there were. But compared to now: We used to take loads every where ever we went and packed out other clubs'grounds with crowds they could only dream of today and.... We were superb in the big games, atmosphere far better than now, but..... Unlike today where we sell out every league game, we had crowds of less than 10000, yes less than 10000 for some less attractive games. So looks like we had a much more bipolar fanbase then, incredible in the big games and nowhere to be seen in the shite games. Now we just plod along somewhere in the middle.

Is this true or is it just tarrier myth would like to see proof and us having less than 10k at home games on more than a couple of occasions at the end of a shity season. Crowds where obviously smaller but saying we regularly got crowds of under 10k for lesser league games at Ibrox I’m not convinced this is true.
