There's something sticks in my mind about that game v Clydebank being an early KO for some reason, and me knowing the score before the outing described below. Maybe I'm mistaken.
I was in the car park of Asda Dyce while 59 did the shopping and I looked after 85 at her fashious crawling-ower-a'thing-in-the-car best.
When the commentary (before that ****ing awful unlistenable Open All Mics pish) went over to Dens Park "where there's been a development". I assumed that the Argos Huns had scored, but horns started tooting all over the car park when it was revealed that Albert (Hibs Supporters Association Player of the Year - and they gave it him again the following season!) had punctured their bubble.
Only topped, as someone said by the events of February and June 2012.
I recall hearing events unfold that day in The White Heather, another in an increasingly lengthy list of hometown boozers "now flats".
I indulged mightily in schadenfreude at the fate of the Nephews of William, albeit feeling zero residual joy for the ultimate winners.
On reflection, along with Dens 86, Hun administration 14.02.2012 and Hun liquidation 14.06.2012, Seville 2003 and Manchester 2008 were also cackle-worthy, and events from which I derived a huge schadenfreudian glow.
On the last mentioned, a well-known journalist texted me from his car just into Scotland, informing me that a banner stating "Welcome home losers" was hanging from an M6 or M74 flyover the day after the huns took a pasting from Zenit Leningrad, and the tarryhat dog did his bit(e) for standards of decency. Good boy, Rover. Good man "Iron Mike".
Both those Euro finals were great. I watched Seville with my Dad, pal and me in my Dads living room. All three had sore heads the next day at work. Get it right up you to all the 87 million pigs acolyte who went. Great night that
I watched Manchester in Ellon Golf Club (dirty bar) with a couple of Huns. "Schadenfreudian glow" indeed that night. And a sore heed at work the next day
Van de Velde will be hard to beat as the biggest and funniest choke ever.
Milan in 2005 was partly caused by that **** Gerrard diving for a penalty, which everybody seems to have forgotten about.
Greg Norman was a serial choker so I can't understand why anybody would ever bet on him winning
I remember doing a big dive in my living room when Porto eventually took the lead in that match much to the shock of my wife. I remember her saying “if watching them getting beat gets you in that state when it’s not even your own team I would hate to see your celebrations when Aberdeen score winners!” ....she witnessed something similar when the old huns got beat in Manchester but she was better prepared.![]()
