After the game at a busy mount Florida my brother was pulled onto the train and I didn't get on. Shitting myself all the way to central on the next train only to find my brother patiently waiting for me. So he was sworn to secrecy and our auld dears never found out.

Nowadays it's straight off the park for a quick interview with Luke. Celebrations with the paying customers has long been taken off the menu.......... People complain when teams do it nowadays.

Also Celtic ones, but only if it’s Logan doing it 😜 Anyway, first Hampden game was Norway (0-1) Faddy sent off for handball on the line. First game was possibly South Africa at Pittodrie, can’t remember exactly. Edited November 24, 2018 by dandydunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 85 000 there, when Dalglish scored there must have been a Hampden Roar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsparky Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Argentina at Hampden in 1979. Maradona running rings round Scotland at the age of 19. He was unplayable. My main memory was the entire ground chanting " Ar-gen-tina" Never heard Scotland fans singing for the opposition since.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it was Scotland you went to see? Not really. Maybe you should be more aware of your surroundings. My initial post said Russia in the qualification to '96. I realized that I got the scorer/score wrong, so I erroneously thought that my first match was against Sweden, but it turns out that I was correct after all, the only thing that I was wrong about was the score/scorer. Do you want me to keep writing this down for you? Because I've written it twice and you aren't getting it. Or do you want to bring in some lawyers?

BucksburnDandy Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 First one for me was the South Africa friendly at Pittodrie. Wouldn't have thought big Eck would be manager now!

You know it was a big goal when you end up 15 rows forward at the end of the celebration. My mate was at the toilet and he came back like "Did I miss anything?". He certainly did...
