in5omniac Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 November 2007, Scotland 1-2 Italy, was 21, living in Sheffield at the time, managed to buy a ticket from someone. Had no idea the atmosphere would be anything like that, what a first game to go to - in spite of the result and that decision, got my SSC membership in time for the next campaign.

Khana Lagur Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 You were a "middle aged khunt" in 1973? FFS how auld are you now? You must be aulder than Flure and Mario. We are going to have to reset the TAMB Auldgeezerometer. I was 10 at the time. Sad thing is I saw Spain, Mexico, Italy, Sweden, England and France before I was 36. And fucq all since. Now 51.

Flora MaDonald Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 For all those whose first game was 'under the lights' at Hampden, did you not marvel at the beauty of it all? The lights shining down on the perfect pitch, the pipers, fag smoke drifting into the night air......still gets me to this day. An amazing sight for a wee guy.

Dodger Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Against Switzerland at pittodrie in 1993. Remember very little except John Collins missing a decent chance to make it 2-1. Was a good 8 years before I went back again. Just googled that game and apparently Switzerland were ranked third in the world at the time which seems mental.
