Morgan Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Had a pair of these when I was at high school. 100% confident I've got the name right! You seem to know your 80's. Let's see a list! Slight change: Food that seemed to just 'appear' in the 80's. Fondues Corn on the cob Chicken Kiev Prawn cocktail Tinned tuna Mini frozen pizzas Pubs that did fish and chips or chicken and chips 'in a basket'. Maybe that was late 70's? Sweetcorn Sure there's more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yes the bus to Prague I remember it well and have to admit it was one of our party of 4 that was sick on bus Seem to remember it getting a bit heated Belated apologies as the smell still haunts me to this day Quite how we were allowed to leave service station when half the shop was stolen by various travellers on the bus also still amazes me That trip was a real eye opener for a teenager I believe the not was from Penicuik. Named Penispew throughout the rest of the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyview Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 80's was an amazing decade for the football. Out complete dominance of hibs, beating Bayern, Dundee United 0-3 at Tannadice in April '86, Celtic 1-0 at Tynie in Feb '87, Dave McPherson scoring a screamer of a free kick on a Wednesday night at Tynie in '87( he remembered it very well when I met him at monty's), beating Rangers at Tynie in the SC '86, JC's late show against the Dons in '86, Robbo's scissor kick injury time goal against Rangers in '84, the big pie stand at the Wheatfiekd entrance, walking in at that end against hibs to hear their casuals chanting 'CCS CCS'. Could go on forever here... Laura Brannigan - Self Control George Michael & Aretha - Knew you Were Waiting Alphaville - Big in Japan Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok Great tunes back in the day....... Just went hand in hand with going to the game......If only to be 21 again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyview Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Walking up Easter Road after a derby, looking ahead and behind and just seeing a sea of maroon. If we won, which we invariably did, that sight plus the signing was just incredible. The big Evening News sign at the Gorgie Road end. Pink newspaper in the pub later on a Saturday evening.

Bazzas right boot Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I do mind BB's but never really started going there until it became Mercado. I mind Zenatec used to advertise in the match programme in the 80's. Bb was the old subway, now tropicana I think. Mercado not on market Street? I hit, Bb's a few times but must be a bit younger, was subway for most of my days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22games nro Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Many memories for me but summed up for me was our trip to play PSG ,I think it was our 1st euro trip for about 4 or 5 years and went with the portobello bus , a scream from start to finish , like an earlier poster we too hadn't gone a mile when one of the bevvied guys spewed up , also I'm sure it was around 4-5 thousand jambos in Paris I remember Walking into the stadium thinking the French had a similar song to us until I realised it was us singing Bonjour,bonjour We are the Georgie gar?on In the stadium when the twirly started all the French photographers taking loads of pictures of it !! And the PSG. fans we met being really complimentary about our support Great trip never to be forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
