Deodato Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Imagine a greatest hits of album tracks, not the singles. That's the purpose of this thread. Hit up YouTube with classic games from any league/any season/any country that you always treasure. Stay clear from the obvious. Not the finals, not the trophy winning climaxes to league campaigns, no - we need those special games that came out of the blue and stuck in the memory bank forever. Also, the link needs to be 20 minutes minimum so we get a decent hit given the withdrawal symptoms. If I may go first, here's a 25 minute high-def footage of Liverpool v Arsenal from 2001/02. I watched this in the Antiquary on St Stephen Street and the entire boozer was captivated by what was happening on screen. Take a bow, Robert Pires - you gave the Oxford English Dictionary a new definition to describe the word 'masterclass'. Deodato Quote
Marvin Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Just think what Ann would say about all those flares on the pitch Edited March 23, 2020 by Marvin Quote
BRY Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Absolutely need to have the 2014 World Cup semi between Brazil and Germany - still unbelievable to this day! Edit: Found it! Edited March 23, 2020 by BRY Quote

Mikey1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Many people say this even better. 1963. The best ever Scotland side? Quote

Pure passion, shame they never had auld Rod to trot out the old “over exuberant” excuse Quote
Mikey1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 43:20 for the pitch invasion! Who still has the turf? Quote
Mikey1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 This was actually one of if not the first European games on satellite TV. Quote
Cruyff Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Thats the wrong Holland v Czech one. This one.... Quote
Deodato Posted March 23, 2020 Author Posted March 23, 2020 Nice to see some England v Scotland gems getting tossed into the ring - I can live with this virus now. Keep 'em coming. Quote

Deodato Posted March 23, 2020 Author Posted March 23, 2020 Just now, Mikey1874 said: The Dutch were so so close That was the game where the Argentinian military general walked into the Dutch dressing room before kick off. Presumably not to say "may the best team win" Quote
Mikey1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) No, it's not scenes from a supermarket 'The battle of Santiago' and the rematch highlights Edited March 23, 2020 by Mikey1874 Quote
Mikey1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Probably one of the best ever Brazil v Italy 1982 World Cup Edited March 23, 2020 by Mikey1874 Quote
Mikey1874 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 I'm willing to take any abuse for this. BUT Sport Relief last week did a VAR review. Next realised second goal was offside. Quote

Skippy Doodle Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Here is a European Super Cup Match from 1989 or 1990 between Milan & Barcelona - picked this as a certain ex Hearts player plays for Milan (White shirt number 2) Quote
