Was just pointing out that very few games end @ 90 minutes.

Wish I'd been there.

English football stronger - depends on the era, look back a bit further.

My favourite visit to Parkhead was back in '88 when they won the league in their centenary year, so there was a real party atmosphere. Celtic were playing Dundee, who only brought a couple of hundred fans with them. Despite their small numbers, with segregation there were large gaps of empty terracing, meaning the official capacity that day was supposed to be only around 50,000+. But with thousands more Celtic fans outside wanting to get in, the police eventually told the Dundee fans that they had to leave for safety concerns. After jeering them as they left, the away end soon filled up with Celtic fans. The official attendance for that game was given as the ground capacity of 60,800, but there must have been about 70-75,000 in the ground by kick-off time, total sardine time but a fantastic atmosphere. You can spot me in the video, I'm the one not singing YNWA... ;-)

Roy Keane's on parole?

Come on Mick, when has Scottish football as a whole ever been stronger than English football? I know Celtic had a couple of years at or near the top of Europe, but they are one team, and English teams were also there abouts at the time.

Oops, had missed this page. Was referring to Mick's earlier post.

I've got 'wall down for a draw, and I think they will win the replay, is that enough to get me a snog around the back of the bike sheds?..

Thanks for clearing that up Mick. I suspected you were a Latin scholar!

[SCSB79]

Lennon writing to UEFA to get clarification?!!! Oh wow - has he ever lost a game without complaining in one way or another?

He must have forgotten the very, very dodgy penalty awarded to Samaras that got them into the last 16.

Ah the highs and lows of my short time in Glasgow.

I also went to Scotland vs Belgium in a European Championship qualifier late '83 after Scotland had already been knocked out.

12,000 attendance on a bitterly cold night. In a previous era Hampden had had 140,000 plus. Now one side of the ground and one end closed due to safety reasons (it was falling down). I remember the press area came out of the roof of a stand. Weird stuff. And I think the urinals were outside against a wall or perhaps that was a story from somebody else.

There was secretarian self segregation with the DoBs in one set of terracing and the Fenians in the other. Both terms of endearment from people I met at Strathclyde Uni. someone else can explain.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

How very dare you, RD. I am true to my Otta.

SCSB79 merits an eye flutter however.

Oh dear gononer are gonners......Is this the final straw?

[maxxi]

Oh, Arsenal (muffled titter), oh dear (mmmph snrkle),

Well they've still got the Champions League and Bayern Munich are no Blackburn Rovers...

[StraferJack]

Not in least surprised for some reason. And by same reason, I expect a result against bayern

Such is our topsy turvy world

Going out of both cups against lower league oppo is shocking tho

But final straw? Not for me. Not by a long chalk

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Love and kisses all round!
