jock strap Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) A good one I went to was the Aberdiddy v Bayern Munich match and I was going in the away end with my pal. He had his kilt and Bayern Munich home top on and we got stopped by the local Police entering. The female bobbie proceeded to speak in broken German and very very slow English. It was like Uncle Albert out of Only Fools and Horses ! Vere are you from bitte ? Doon the road hen !

Ormond Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Best neutral game I went to was a Dundee derby. No sectarian nonsense, just two teams going for city bragging rights. I sat in the United end, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartandon Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I've been to hundreds as a neutral. Over 150 Queens Park games Over 60 Celtic games Over 50 Partick games and 20-50 other random matches But the two that stand out for me are the two European finals held at Hampden in the past 15 years. I was lucky enough to be sat directly behind it when Zidane hit that stunning volley for Real Madrid to beat Bayer Leverkusen. I also thoroughly enjoyed the UEFA CUp FInal when Sevilla beat Espanyol on penalties. It was the first time I had seen Dani Alves in the flesh and I had never seen a full back be the furthest player forward so often before.
