I could still greet thinking about it. My son was 9 at the time and the hurt on his face ill never forget. Remember 2 Rangers fans walking infront of me at end of game outside and they had not waited for trophy presentation. They couldn't have given a feck they had won. Eleven years later it's as raw to me as the day it happened. Its prob why i always expect worst and never get my hopes up with Saints.

No doubting it was a sore one, and made worse as I sitting next to the scumbags, but there's a saying, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and that makes the good times even sweeter, did we not give them a good boot in the Haw Maws last week how sweet was that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I was at both the Hammarby & 9-man-Cup-Final games and neither of them depressed me as much as the numerous defeats to the likes of Dumbarton & Stirling Albion we used to regularly rack up in the second tier. I remember a 3-0 defeat when IIRC we had 3 players sent off at Boghead in the 90s. For me 9-man-Cup-Final was put to bed 9 years ago almost to the day when we beat another 9 man Rangers 2-1, doubly so after we beat them in the next H2H LC tie last week. ************************* I wonder if we'll ever play Hammarby again any or if any of their fans remember a dramatic injury time comeback in the away leg of a UEFA cup tie 35 years ago?

Disappointed with the loss against Hammarby, like every loss, but no big deal. 2010 was very disappointing especially as family had come over specially from Donegal. We were over it by the time we reached the Chippy in Barrhead. It was unsurprising and funny to see hundreds upon hundreds of bigots leaving Hampden before the Trophy presentation. The major loss for me was in 2006 down at fecking Gretna. That could have been our Year to win the Cup. So angry and upset driving up the M74 after that shocker. Calm and cleansed presently. 17/3/13 trumped everything in 5 decades. Edited December 23, 2020 by shull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to tell this to Tommy Craig when he did a Q&A in the Main Stand, he thought it was sometime in the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
