andy500 463 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 This is one of my personal favourites. Just the surrealism of a sing-song in Aldi's of all places reminds you how much we took over that city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what happened that day. People keep saying this to me, but I saw fuck all like that in any of the fanzones or streets. Obviously a few fucking psychopathic scumbags couldn't control themselves and even further ruined the reputation of the club for generations, but the actual couple of days simply wasn't like that for 99% of us.

barrymorrison1 1,033 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 hey hey, i was there. brill. i was in ramada hotel overlooking picadilly gardens. brill in there.(was with wife an son and few others). plenty of singing, booze, seats, toilets, scran, think i made the right choice on that day. even ur man smeato was scooping in there. watched game in train station. was feckin mental. never ever ever forget the memories. the trip down during the tuesday night/wed morning was like a feckin city being abandoned by some disaster. total convoy. dont believe anybody would have left for a week if we won. ah, memories. dont think about the shit, not worth it. 40 pricks trying to spoil it for 200 000 good souls. may god refuse them entry into the brotherhood when the grim reaper comes calling.

At around the 6pm mark that's when things started to get out of control and grown men started pulling their trousers down and shiting in amongst the gardens. By the time the screen failed to come on, there had already been two group fights in amongst the Rangers support, and as of 7.46pm (when I left after my wee cousin of 14 years was hit with a half-full can of lager on the side of the head) the whole place was a warzone.

Yeah I always laugh when people criticise us for dropping litter and pissing in back streets. What do they expect people to do when there's no bins or toilets? Would probably draw the line at shitting in a garden though, hahaha. It's at that point I think I'd find a pub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superally29 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 We spent most of the day in Wigan pre-match where the atmosphere & acceptance by local bar staff & public was absolutely FANTASTIC, Walking between pubs the passing cars were peeping & shouting for us to "Do the Business" I have NEVER enjoyed the pre-match build up to ANY game EVER like that one. Then we travelled into Manchester, and had a few pints on the balcony at Picadilly Station Bar watching all the bears coming & going (which was outstanding !!). The walk to the City Stadium was the highlight of my life but the aftermath was a disaster. The best footballing day ever was ruined by the result (obviously) but enhanced by our reputation being smashed again !! For good & bad, I will never forget !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never before has a club taken that level of support to any 1 place & I doubt in my lifetime if it will ever happen again- What memories !!!!! :unionflag: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First fans threw bottles at the screen, and hit some fans with their poor aim. Then fans deliberately aimed bottles at the entrance and exit, near where I was standing.

Imodium 412 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Manchester was such a great experience up until 6pm. Getting off the bus at the service station as you enter England (the name escapes me) was one of the highlights for me. Even at 9am there was singing, flutes out, bouncy etc. was just amazing and made you think that the cup was coming up the road. Journey home was awful after travelling all that way to watch a match on tv that you didn't get the chance to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
