Aye it galvanised the support. Also, winning the league last year meant more than it would have if the whole saga never happened.

Drumloyal 14,966 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Since we're on the topic of the lower league journey, one thing that never gets mentioned is the fact that we are now the only team to have won all available senior trophies in the country.

Would have been a very tall order given all the great players Milan had at that time. McCoist would have missed it due to his leg break,let's not forget, that wouldn't have helped. One of the great what if questions, that's for sure. The way that season was I suppose anything could have happened in that final....

Aye Milan were quality at the time but I just think we were destined for it, the stars were aligning for us and we had the bit between our teeth, until brown envelope FC that is.

Yeah that's the galling thing that they cheated. They too had a lot of fantastic players, there was no need to cheat. Don't mind losing out when it's fair and square but when underhand shit happens it's a million times worse. PGWoodwind and Drumloyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGC123 1,185 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 You just have to make the most of what you’ve got. Yes the football was atrocious at times. Cheering on more than a couple of total duds. But I did enjoy the early years in the 3rd 2nd and 1st to experience so many different stadiums and places I’ve never been. The Brechin hedge, the no holes barred singing at Berwick as the police didn’t give AF what we sung. getting the chance to stuff Motherwell in the cup, that night at ibrox felt like a champions league night the atmosphere was electric.

Far from ideal as he looks like he’s came into a bit of form. If he’s good for a start on the bench then hopefully he can make similar impact as the hibs game.
