GB remembers the gloriour cup run
I HAVE LISTED BELOW A NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH WILL LIVE WITH
ME FOR A LONG TIME AFTER OUR CUP RUN OF LAST SEASON. I HOPE
THEY BRING BACK SOME OF YOURS.
STANDING FOR A SECOND WONDERlNG IF SNELDERS HAD SAVED SUPER
SUBS SHOT AT PITTODRIE. FOLLOWED BY SHOCK WHEN IT HIT THE NET.
- HOW MARVELLOUS THE JOURNEY HOME FROM PITTODRIE WAS!!!
- HOW GOOD IT WAS WE HAD A HOME DRAW AFTER THIS ONE
- DID BIG NICK REALLY SCORE TWO GOALS WITH HIS FEET AGAINST FALKIRK
- WATCHING JOHNNY GAHAGAN PLAY (AND SCORE) FOR SOMEONE ELSE
- BITING MY NAILS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PENALTY SHOOT OUT AT CAPPIELOW UNTIL PSYCHO'S PENALTY HIT THE NET.
- GOING TO WORK TO MEET ALL MY MORTON COLLEAGUES THE DAY AFTER
DISBELIEVING THAT REFEREE HOPE DID NOT GIVE A PENALTY IN THE FIRST SEMI
- FERGUSON HITTING THE POST IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES OF THE ABOVE GAME
- ALL FOUR GOALS IN THE SEMI REPLAY
- THE MOMENT I BELIEVED I WOULD SEE MOTHERWELL IN THE CUP FINAL WHEN KIRK SCORED IN THE SEMI.
- GOING TO WORK TO SEE MY CELTIC COLLEAGUES THE DAY AFTER THE CUP SEMI
THE CUP FINAL DAY IS ONE LONG LIST OF MEMORIES:
- THE TOWN CENTRE FULL OF CLARET AND AMBER ON THE MORNING OF THE GAME.
- BUS AFTER BUS FULL OF WELL FANS HEADING FOR HAMPDEN
- HALF OF HAMPDEN A SEA OF CLARET AND AMBER.
TEARS WHEN JACKSON MADE IT 3 - 3
- ABSOLUTE ECSTASY WHEN FINAL WHISTLE SOUNDED
- OUR STREET PARTY AT NIGHT
- TOWN ONCE AGAIN FULL OF CLARET AND AMBER ON SUNDAY TO SEE THE OPEN TOPPED BUS.
OVERALL IT WAS A PERIOD I COULD RELIVE EVERY YEAR AND NOT
COMPLAIN. HOW ABOUT IT LADS!!!
