Reekie_Red Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 It was a sign of better times, a time when we all enjoyed fitba, when doings a-plenty marked our season, ah, halcyon days. I'll take this fight for 3rd any day over the "should've been relegated, but for the league expanding" fiasco that was the 1999/2000 season. Season before that (I think) we beat Hearts but not by enough of a margin to get into Europe. Don't think that was the season before, tbh. But I do remember that season. It was the end of the season before Hearts became a Lithiuanian team. Hearts couldn't get into Europe. Hibs could if they drew with Rangers on the final day at Fester Road. Even if they lost, it would take Aberdeen to win against Hearts by 6 or more goals to overtake Hibs. Rangers and Hibs were drawing and really couldn't be bothered playing, as the result suited both of them. Aberdeen, meanwhile, were trying their best to beat a Hearts team who were almost willfully passing the ball to Aberdeen players. But we just couldnae score enough goals. Then it was all over when Scott McDonald scored two at Motherwell against Celtic to hand the title to Rangers. What a weird weird final day of the season that was. Quote
thomsod Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 i'm fairly sure rangers beat hibs 1 nil that game but they got the early goal then hibs just sat and passed the ball in their defence cos it suited both teams. not a draw tho. Quote
??? Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Rangers in dramatic title triumph FT Aberdeen 2-0 Hearts Match report FT Hibernian 0-1 Rangers Match report FT Motherwell 2-1 Celtic Match report That was the day Aberdeen fans were singing Lee Miller's name through-out the game as we were under the impression he was going to sign for us that summer. We needed to win by five if the Hibs score stayed at 1-0, we absolutely battered Hearts, although it was to no avail. Quote

Andrew Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 We hit the post/bar a couple of times though. If we had more luck we could have scored a couple more. Quote
