ayro 2,926 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Marseille 92, Manchester 08, Villarreal 06. SCF 89, Killie home 10iar. Has to be Manchester 08 for me as I struggle to see how we will ever get to another European final in my lifetime with how it is financially carved out now, never mind go on and win it. barrymorrison1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marky. 6,920 Posted November 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2021 I’m still not over the 2016 cup final tbh. I know long term it doesn’t matter so much, but it was a pathetic result in the context of the game. plumbGER, ForeverAndEver, AGM_72 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,456 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The night we surrendered a 1-0 lead at the piggery to a ten man scum team to lose 4-2 and hand them the league (1979) was a sickener but overall it has to be Marseille. slimjim1690, BlueAvenger, tommyw and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Manchester by a mile. Reaching that final will be once in a lifetime stuff for the vast majority of us. There’s very little chance that it ever happens again, and even if does, it doesn’t take place in a place that is so easily accessible to our support.

Monkey Butler 23,000 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Malmo 2011. Who knows how that season (and the future) would have turned out if we had made the CL. Possibly looking at a decade of glory under Whyte and McCoist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss of a coin for me, but Marseilles edges it, although your point about Manchester being easily accessible is a good one and would have made a difference. It would have been fantastic to win it basically on our doorstep. The memories of going down there are probably The best i have had as an away day, and those memories help alongside knowing we put everything into that run. The 92 team went head to head with some of the biggest teams at the time and I believe we would have beaten Milan in that final as everything just clicked with that team. No coincidence that Sir Walter was the manager on both occasions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superallysbears 7,475 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Definitely Marseille for me, that should have been the gaffers crowning glory, there's not a cunt on this earth that'll tell me we weren't cheated out of that final, yes AC would have stood in our way but we absolutely deserved to be there, all these years later that still rankles.

I cried after that game and all my mates were taking the piss out of me but the reason I cried was I knew there and then (and stand by it) that we’d never get to a European final again in my lifetime.

I was there crying my eyes out like a wee lassie, as you say it was that feeling that it was in our grasp and it was our one chance to feel the glory the older bears felt in 72, it built up for weeks and weeks, then the trip down and the day of the game was one of the best days of my entire life, everyone thought we'd win, I don't think i spoke to anyone there who doubted we'd win, then it all came crashing down. I remember having the fear when I woke up the next morning hoping I wasn't going to have my greeting face in the paper as I stayed in the stadium for a while after the game cause my dad was in another part of the ground and we had to meet up outside. I remember standing with my wee brother and the fireworks for zenit were going off then the bears started singing Follow Follow and I started singing along and ended up bawling. Was such a weird and horrible feeling. Brackley Bluenose 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty mental how many Bears were there, at one point in the afternoon my dad and his mate left our group in Piccadilly sq to go and get more bevvy and were gone for well over and hour cause every shop near the square was completely sold out of drink 😅 I try and separate the day and the match in my mind. Id go back and live that morning and afternoon in Manchester all the time if I could, it was fuckin amazing Brackley Bluenose and mearns loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
downviewbear 126 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Probably Marseille just over Manchester .Cheated by the french in one but also cheated by those bastards in the sfa in the other .if they hadn't of bent over backwards for them scummy tarrier cunts we would have been better rested and better prepared for the final.

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Marseille, would have finally got to play both Hately and McCoist up front in the final after not having the both of them playing together for one reason or another all through the group stages, I'm certain that would have seen us having a great chance in the final.
