Christian Benteke Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Sitting in the Gorgie road end when you played Spurs a couple of years back, especially as Spurs are my 'English team'. Got outed straight away though as my ticket had placed me right beside my Dads best mate & in front of a lassie I went to school with Used to take one of my Jambo mates to ER whenever there was a spare ticket going and returned the favour a couple of times, one that sticks out is a Scottish cup reply around 6 years ago away to Motherwell (Hearts lost 1-0 iirc) but the Hearts stand was completely full on a Tuesday/Wednesday night.

PsychocAndy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I was at the England v Greece match at Old Trafford and saw Beckham put on a masterclass. He single handedly got England through to the WC with his performance that day. I think you will find that the Hearts goalkeeper, Antti Niemi, single handedly got England to the World Cup with his display that night against Germany in a 0-0 draw. It was 90 minutes of shooty ins from Germany. Been to 3 Scotland England games can't remember much but the one we won, 1-0 Richard Gough, I was having a pish when he scored. So probably Hedensford v Middlesboro' 0-0. It was to open the new stand, even then it wasn't great but boro' had the comidic gold of Hamilton Ricard and Mikael Beck up front, or in other words Pish and Pisher. Anyway it was the first game I took the wee Fella to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticJambo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I was extremely fortunate in 1966... parents' friends from B'head... got tickets for WC Brazil-Portugal... Pele and Eusebio... 5-3.. Yours in 'as good as it got then (for me)' TW Nice one Tommy. Something similar for me wit two big names, albeit nothing quite as prestigious as those two. Spurs vs Feyenoord in the quarters of the UEFA Cup, Oct 1983 (my old man had taken me down to London for Oct break). A very young Ruud Gullit and an aging Cruyff. Good game. We were seated behind the goals opposite end from the Dutch fans; main stand with it's two tiered terracing below the seats iirc (impressive to me at time) to our left.

DETTY29 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The Scotland v Spain game is right up there for me. I liked going to watch Scotland as it was a chance to go to the footie with my best pal - a hibby My first international game in 1984. Can't remember who the Spanish centre forward was but Willie Miller might have put in the hardest fair tackle I've ever seen. Not on the vid unfortunately.

Don Draper Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Bunch of us went across to France for the 98 World Cup. One of the games we saw was Chile-Cameroon. Had just about everything - end-to-end stuff, couple of cracking goals, red cards, Cameroon ending up with 9 men and almost winning it. At the end of all that, Chile qualified for the 2nd round. It was top stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess The Crowd Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 funny to think that my brothers and I and you were all at that game 41 years ago I remember making some sort of animal noise and waving my arms about and people around me goggle eyed and screaming 1-0 up against the invincible Brazil in a world cup finals match Firstly, I knew the drink was strong that night, but I could have sworn it was only 31 years ago! So many things about that night; - the Brazilian women. Absolutely gorgeous, the lot of them. And there were loads - Brazil took about 30,000 to 40,000 to that game, and half of them seemed to be female. - the heat. 120 degrees when we arrived in Seville at 4pm, it had 'cooled down' to 100 by the time of the game. - the ticket prices. 300 pesetas (?1.25) for behind either goal, 800 pesetas for the side stands. - like you, I was going crazy when Scotland were 1-0 up, only to get a tap on the shoulder from a Brazilian sitting behind me. I turned round to apologise, but he only wanted to give me some of his wine, which was in a sort of bag rather than a bottle. Unforgettable occasion.

Blackford Hearts Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Not the best but most bizarre: Barcelona 0 Real Madrid 0 November 2002 Figo returns to Camp Nou. Fans storm the Real bus before the game, then pigs head amongst other things thrown at him whilst trying to take corner. Game stopped for about 15 minutes then has to return to take same corner!

Austian fans made it onto the pitch to plant a flag at half time - not bad as you had to get over 2 moats and dogs to get ther. Luckily Germany won or it might have been the start of WW3.

Snake Plissken Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't really have much to choose from: PSG v Toulouse 0-0: Pauleta missed a penalty and an open goal from six yards out a few moments later Celtic v Artemdia Bratislava: 4-0 Celtic after they'd been cuffed 5-0. Shite game, was hoping they'd sneak a goal but they just camped at the edge of their box and tried to hold on. Quite amusing to see Tomothy so agitated when it was 4-0. Queen of the South v Dundee: 1-0 Queens. Mediocre game, Jamie MacDonald was playing for Queens, flapped at a few corners but had little to do. Busan I'Park v Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors: 1-3 Jeonbuk, for a cup semi-final it was a shocking atmosphere. About 3-4,000 people in the Asiad Stadium (capacity: 52,000). The worst standard of football I've ever witnessed live, every foul resulted in the player rolling around for ages. I thought I might take in some games but despite the cheap price (equivalent of 6 quid), I just can't be arsed. So I guess I'll go with the PSG game because it was by far the best quality football on show. I'd love to get back and see the likes of Ibrahimovic and Cavani playing.

Creepy Lurker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Saw Sochaux beating Lyon, which was alright. Been to a few Sochaux and Marseille games but most were pretty average atmosphere-wise. Supporting your new local side is a nice idea, but I struggled to make myself be that interested in either. Saw AC Milan win a cup game 1-0 with a goal from Inzaghi too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I went to Everton 3-3 Aston Villa last season and would have said that if it wasn't for the fact that I could see **** all from the back row of the lower tier in the stand behind the goals to the right (if watching on the tele). So, as the sad ******* I am, I'm going to go for... Cowdenbeath 3-4 Raith Rovers From earlier this season. Seriously, it was brilliant entertainment. Raith won it with a last minute penalty.

Ribble Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I got picked up once from the top of the steps at Woodburn at 7am. Had my first can open before the driver got into second gear. Great times. Great Times indeed! The time we were at Goodison for 16yr old Rooneys last minute goal against arsenal will always stick in my mind, from the busload only 3 of us seen it as everyone else left with 5 mins to go so they could get back to the hotel, one of the 3 had slept/passed out for the majority of the second half and woke up seconds before Rooney let fly! After the game a couple of Everton fans carried away in the euphoria of the win took us to their local round the corner where we spent the next couple of hours and were not allowed to pay for a single drink. Later found out that the pub was regarded as one of the hardest pubs in Liverpool and the guy on reception couldn't get over the fact we had not only been there but had a brilliant time!

Flankengott Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Enjoyed a fantastic Bayern M?nchen 0 - 2 Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Olympic Stadium in Munich a long time ago with Stefan Effenberg and Michael Sternkopf scoring for BMG. Think it was the first time Moenchengladbach had won in Munich since Gunter Netzer was playing so the atmosphere was great. Also really enjoyed 1998 world cup in France, but that was more the traveling around France, getting mildly inebriated, stuffing my face and getting to know the country rather than watching Scotland getting humped 3-0 by Morocco in St Etienne. About 2 years ago saw a great game between Real and Raya Vallecano which ended up 6-2;total domination for Rayo in the first 40 minutes, but Real ended up walking it with their bus-parking, counter attacking thing. Strangely Kaka was brilliant. Atmosphere was polite and restrained. Rayo fans made what atmosphere there was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
