Lang stories over many pints.
My favourite hobby.
I was there (the game, nae the totalitarian Strathclyde Dibble bruise cruise). I’ll never forget Strachan missing a penalty and then going Tonto deluxe when he scored our third in the second half. That was the night we knew that the league title was ours to lose, with many still assuming that we would, based on previous experience.

St Mirren at hame, with the sooth terracing under development, Jutefûcks away on a night of brutal Tayside tarryhat action, Easter Road ❤️ (my best-ever day as a Red), and the wrap at Firhill.
What a time to be alive.
I seem to recall we put St Paisley away quite sharpish, did Rougvie score or a meringue?
The jute away midweek job......1-1?
I have a recollection of it being "active".
Easter Road.....ah, fit fine.
Didnae make Thistle, another 1-1?
Meaning the league was clinched by a point rather than on goal difference.
Happy days......
Us auld yins were very lucky to have been there at Aberdeen FC finest period, To be in the situation of going to a game and know we were going to win it ! that was the reality in those goalden years, I mind being 2-0 down to St Mirren at home and it didn't bother me a bit we went on to win 4-2.
That day at Easter road I will remember forever. The night before I wasn't going I was stoney broke but woke up about 7am on that sunny May morning. Feck this ! I was at the brig O Dee about 9ish with my thumb out hitched all the way to Embra with just about dosh to get in got there about 1.30 ..Headed to Jingling Gordies where I knew some of my pals would be. Sure enough they were and looked after me brilliantly the rest is glorious history.
I tried to hitch to Hamburg for the first leg of the Super Cup.
I was pished though.
Boy in a mini stopped for me but sped off when I told him my destination.
