weeyin Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 My favourite comment on the game was from an Aberdeen fan who said it made them forgive us for nicking 2nd place at Pittodrie the previous season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 The day the tickets went on sale was, luckily, a bank holiday. I made the call to go over to Fir Park just in case. 2hr queue, but tickets for both legs secured. I had the fear going to Ibrox on the Thurs - given our record there - and remember telling everyone I'd take us keeping it to a 1-0 defeat, particularly because our home form was ok. Policing at Ibrox was a joke as usual, with lighters and coins landing all around. Half-time and we're 2-0 up. I have a sore hip after ending up 3 rows in front celebrating the 2nd. Disbelief in the foyer/pie queue and a sense of not knowing quite how to feel. Second half was still pretty tense, despite, going 3 up especially when McGregor scored. Boyd had a few chances as well. Got out of Ibrox and walked to central via Govan Road, in amongst the Rangers fans. Remember phoning my dad in a state of shock/joy. 2nd leg for me was a formality after one specific moment - Zaliukas blazing one over from 6 yards just before half time. The game was up for Rangers after that. I think it would take a cup win to eclipse that victory at Ibrox. Huge performance in pretty much the most partisan/hostile environment we could get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struck the perfect balance of positivity and playing the underdog and was the opposite of just about every other 'Well manager in his attitude when it comes to playing an OF side. I don't think this can be overstated. Despite our league form, we struck gold in terms of Managerial appointments if we take the play-offs in isolation. Baraclough was perhaps 'ignorant' to things, but he certainly didn't have the deferential mindset of others which would certainly have seen us relegated. Our Media/PR output was tremendous as well - Even down to handling of ticket allocation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprawell Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 I went round to the Centenery after the game. We were the last to leave and I spoke to Lasley at the end. I just grabbed him and said - look at the season - the torture at the start with Stjarnan and the absolute joy of denying that lot and we hugged - always a legend in my book. What a day.

How many penalties did he concede against Stjarnan? Ended up playing up front over there to keep him away from the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprawell Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I always thought it was 2, I know one at Fir Park and I think the other one in away leg. Might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 3 unfortunately, handball then one at the death at Fir Park then one in the first half over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretband Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Just had a thought these games could be called the "Spartacus playoffs" - for fairly obvious reasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ped_MFC Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I don't think the Buns will be happy with any comparison of their games with Rome. Most of their fans seem to get quite annoyed by it for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
