BigAl Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 The importance of THAT goal was far more significant than the timing of it Quote
caledonia Posted December 16, 2008 Report Posted December 16, 2008 I was at that game and think at the time people said it was 8 seconds Quote

bilbobaggins Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Loons nowadays. That was the goal that started the run to Gothenburg. Quote
BigAl Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Loons nowadays. That was the goal that started the run to Gothenburg. Spot on BB....started at Fir Park, ended up on a rainy night in Gothenburg. Also we went on to win not only the Scottish Cup in that year 1982, but also '83 and '84 and were undefeated in that competiton for close on four years Quote

A cup run in which a former Rangers manager scored against the Rangers and the current Celtic manager scored against the Celtic, in the finals! Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Oh the nostalgia. A cup run in which a former Rangers manager scored against the Rangers and the current Celtic manager scored against the Celtic, in the finals! You sure about that? Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 You sure about that? Absolutely. I was there. Let me help you. Which one (or both) do you not remember? Strachan's may have been the League Cup right enough, without researching. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Absolutely. I was there. Let me help you. Which one (or both) do you not remember? Strachan's may have been the League Cup right enough, without researching. Black and McGhee scored in the 1984 final, not Strachan. Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Black and McGhee scored in the 1984 final, not Strachan. OK, OK. Sorry. You remember the somersault by Strachan in the final v. celtic? Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 OK, OK. Sorry. You remember the somersault by Strachan in the final v. celtic? Can't say I do. I have seen footage of the crappy somersault he did v the huns in 82. But as Al was talking about the finals of 82, 83 and 84, and you have said that the current Celtic manager scored v Celtic in the final, I took that to mean you are talking about Strachan scoring v Celtic in 84, which didn't happen.

bilbobaggins Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Wasn't it Neale Coooper who did the somersault after scoring V Rangers in 1982? Quote

In this case you show your tender years. Either this, or I really am gravely incapable of memory. Strachan tapped in to an empty net from a yard at the "Celtic end", and did a crappy somersault. I could have sworn it was against Celtic, not Rangers? As your pedanticity suggests that you are good at these things, can you look up to see how often Strachan scored for AFC in finals? I can only recall this one. Quote
rocket-fuel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Wasn't it Neale Coooper who did the somersault after scoring V Rangers in 1982? Yes he did. Same game as McLeish's 1st half wonder goal. I was standing next to and hugging Neale's sister Shirley when Neale-ee scored no. 4. Quote

As your pedanticity suggests that you are good at these things, can you look up to see how often Strachan scored for AFC in finals? I can only recall this one. You're wrong. He scored at the Celtic end against the Huns, we won 4-1. he got the third. McGhee scored the winner v Celtic in 84 at the Celtic end of the ground. My "pedanticity suggests" that I know my Aberdeen history, as most on here would. Maybe it also shows you are gravely incapable of memory. Main article: 1984 Scottish Cup Final May 19, 1984 Aberdeen 2 – 1 (a.e.t.)

rocket-fuel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 In this case, I made a recollectory error. I was sure his goal at the Celtic end followed by a somersault was against Celtic, not Rangers, which given where we would have been standing i.e. the other end of the ground, is a pretty poor memory fuck up by me. Will have to youtube it for myself now. Found it. You are absolutely correct. I was at every final in the 80's. It was a blur of success. Amazed I recalled it as being v. Celtic though. My bad. Quote
Tyrant Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Why don't we take center like that these days instead of smashing down the park and out of play 99 times out of 100? Quote
boboisared Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Loons nowadays. That was the goal that started the run to Gothenburg. Bit of a sweeping statement that I'm probably about the same age as Dave, but thats the knowledge you gain watching the Glory of Gothenburg every Saturday the Dons are playing away from ages 7 to 10 Quote
bilbobaggins Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Cheers Roakit, I've not seen that in many years. It seems there were 2 somersaults in that game. Quote

rocket-fuel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 That's a forward roll. That is an excellent observation, and wholly accurate. Somersaults, wrong half of the OF, I spik some shite, div I nae? Sheeeshh.... keebab. Quote
