Stevie88 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 In 87' cup final day , left Foxbar with liquid breakfast ( six cans of Breaker ) train from Gilmour St - went to game ( only remember a bit of the extra time ) apparently we won Thankfully had the VHS on record otherwise no visual recollection I'd advise drinks after the game. I wasn't quite that bad, sobered up pretty quickly after the Hearts goal. I would advise drinking before the games, well from now until the end of this season.

scrappy coco Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 My wee bit. An Ode to the Buddie Heroes And so came the day, the team sheet read out, One change was made, from the Celtic rout. In came Paul Dummett, at the expense of Carey, And the first twenty minutes, were no less than scary. Hearts well on top, and a goal to the good, Missing chances, and hitting the wood. But still we clung on, and lo and behold, Our players stepped up and scored their first goal. Thompson flicked on, with Teale in full flight He waltzed past defenders, down on the right. A quick look around, and he sees it so plain, And passes to Isma, to be the hero again. With the crowd going wild, the ball’s in the net, And the pain of the first quarter, we start to forget. The second half starts. The whistles just gone, Another goal for the Saints. Thompson’s on song. 2-1’s now the score, and belief is abound, You could physically feel it, in the West of the ground. There was better to come, as the time ticked away, Newton passed to Isma, and continued the play. Goncalves flicked on, and in Connor stole, “Baw’s in the pokey”, Saint Mirren’s third goal. After Hearts got forward, and pulled one goal back, It was our hearts not their’s, that were having attacks Lest we forget, it’s not just goals that you score, To win a league cup takes so much more. Samson’s save, and a Van Zanten block, As we watched from the stand, the tick of the clock. The whistle blows, it’s the end of the game, Goodwin walks up, the trophy to claim. First Goodwin, then Samson, Thompson are there McGinn, Van Zanten, McAusland and Mair, Dummett, Newton and McGowan go up To lift that elusive, Scottish League Cup Carey, McLean, Adam,.. Parkin as well All get their chance, so proud you can tell Then Teale and Goncalves, outstanding we say They’ll all be remembered, for what happened that day Last but not least, it’s the managers turn, Danny Lennon lifts, the bright silver urn. And as each of them lifted the cup and turned round Tears were being shed, by all left in the ground. So the cup comes to Paisley, the first time it’s been, And throughout the town, were incredible scenes. All I can say, to the staff and the players, Is thank you for answering, all of our prayers! Oh for that passion now. Both on and off the park! Do you have this printed and framed and hanging on your living room wall? If not you should have... Great piece of work Sir...

Sergie's no1 fan Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Every pub was mobbed, we had to go into the Spanish Tapas place on New St, first and only time I've been in there. In fact I couldn't even tell you if it is still open. They had the 87 cup final showing on a screen and I turned round and Billy Abercrombie was standing ( just about ) next to me, he was wrecked. Didn't even know it was the 87 cup final on the screen. So sad . Other disappointing thing about that day was not being able to spend the whole night with all my pals, we all got separated into different pubs.

RickMcD Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 It was happy hour and I paid at the Bar with money oot her purse. A very happy hour. When you say a very happy hour, was that in the pub or are we talking apres-ski here? Come to think about it, an hour would be a hell of an apres-ski. What age were you and how drunk were you?
