Had to call in sick the following morning and I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one.

mfc Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Psychos goal will always be the one that's remembered most off all and rightly so but wee dougie's header was top drawer,i can't believe that was 30 years ago,how time flies. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 The 4th goal. Realising it was actually going to happen, they weren't gonnae get a spawny equaliser and win in extra time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMax Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Epic night. I was right behind the goals and Bonner's body obscured my view of Psycho hitting that ball. Just remember Bonner looking as if he was struggling to dive and the ball nestling in the back of the net. Scenes of mentalness. Even my da' who was getting on a bit at the time, was jumping about like a nutter, hugging random cunts :-) Kirk's goal seemed to me to take an age to get given after the ball went round the staunchion. Crazy moments when it was given. Like Bobbybingo, you just knew then there was no way back for them, but even after Psycho's goal, it looked like someone had stuck a fork in Celtic, the players shoulders went down, we started winning the 50/50s that we'd been losing, the ball started to run for us. Best night ever. Enjoyed it much more than the final, which was just toooooo tense for me. On a side note, the first semi I ever went to (at Hampden) was 75/76 when the h**s and a corrupt ref put us out 3-2. I went to every one from then on and we lost every one until '91. Was a tremendous moment in the life of any Motherwell fan. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous year's semi-final against Airdrie was my first ever Motherwell game. Every semi between then and 91 was against the Old Firm, felt like we'd never get over that hurdle. 16 years seemed like forever then, and like the blink of an eye now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you. I was at the Saturday game but the replay was too late for me.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I know that rule doesn't apply any more but from going to the fitba' every week pretty much from early 70's to whenever that rule was removed (same time as introduction of the passback rule maybe ?) I don't think I've ever seen it being given. Much rarer than other natural phenomena, e.g. getting a penalty at Ibrox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Games probably off due to some funeral taking place at 3pm. Absolute nonsense. This burial should be a private affair for the 30 people attending and let the rest of us get on with our life. By all means show it on the telly and give people the choice of what to watch, however, for me it’s the football every time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Given there will be no crowds, we could pretty much play it any time over that weekend starting on Friday evening without causing any problems for the teams or the SFA Lodge Meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&A not the shop Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Aye, if its getting moved let us know sharp and make it Friday night or Sunday at 3pm. I must admit to liking a Friday evening game, though I know it doesn't work for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said , people are dying every day so no need to rearrange the world, and probably half the country don't give a shit Anyway, a private family funeral is all that's needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading today the BBC had to set up a special complaints form on its website to deal with the huge volume of complaints regarding the cancellation of Friday night's telly and radio programmes. The SFA might be wise to take note. (Spoiler Alert: they won't take note). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when you're at a loose end cos there's nothing decent on telly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given its the SFA organising it it does not surprise me. Given the pandemic and the ongoing problems facing the country there are far more important issues to sort out, the whole response to this has been way over the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I don’t think we can have a go at the SFA in this instance. While there may not be a written protocol, there will be an understanding of what is the ‘done thing’ in such circumstances. English football, rugby, cricket and horse racing have altered their fixtures while the decision on the snooker world champs is pending. Had the SFA not done likewise, they’d be open to staunch criticism. With no crowds, the inconvenience is minimal so we might as well take this on the chin and give royalists one less thing to greet about.
