BobbyBiscuit Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Obviously with the Bayern game coming up it throws us back to the famous "Pittodrie Goes Berserk!" line. It's a great line of course, but another of my favourites is from Archie MacPherson in the title decider at Tynie, and he says, as if all one word: "AndThat'sIntoMcKimmieWithAShotAndHe'sScored!" So, what are your favourite lines from commentaries? (Dons or otherwise) Quote
El Padre™ Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 "Welcome to Bologna with Capital Gold to England vs San Marino, in association with Tennants Pilsner, brewed with Czechoslovakian yeast for that extra Pilsner taste, and England are one down!" Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 Staying on an England theme, I also particularly like Barry Davies' line from England-Argentina in 86 for Maradona's 2nd goal and after ripping into him for handling for his first: "Oh and you have to say that's brilliant!" Quote
mizer Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Just before Batty's penalty in France 1998 Brian Moore - "Yes or no, will he score?" Keegan - "Yes". Brian Moore - "Ahhnooooooooooooooo" Quote
Mentorred Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 And you can't quite blame the man for going temporarily (sp) out of his mind ( Archie on Fergie after we won the League at Easter Road. Scanlon the oooh the Bar Watson YESSSS. (Archie during the same game) Quote
Unit Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Apart from the classic "Hewitt's waiting in the middle......" Can't remember the exact words but one of the most memorable in recent years was David Begg's radio commentary on John Stewart's winner v Tims at Parkhead. Went something like......: Stewart skips past Varga, closes in on goal....steadies himself.....shoots....and wins the game for Aberdeen.... or something... Quote
Madbadteacher Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 The great David Francie and his memorable ".....disaster for Scotland". Not necessarily good memories, but un-fukkin'-forgettable. ANy Arthur Montford World Cup qualification game commentaries. "........Oh yes! That does it! Scotland 2 Wales 0 and Argntina here we come!" Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 David Begg's commentaries remind me of Alisdair Alexanders. His for our winner against the huns in Oct 88: "Woods stays....Nicholas scores!" Quote
Reekie_Red Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Archie's responsible for a number of commentary nuggets. "And the Rangers defence are ossified" - who the fuck watching Scotsport knows what ossified means, Archie?? "And here comes the cavalry" - in a 1-1 draw with Rangers, Archie commented on the amazing power and control from our defensive dynamic duo of ... wait for it ... Derek Whyte and John Inglis. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 During the Ebbe years, I was convinced we'd changed our team name to "Aberdeen Nil". Quote
manc_don Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Im sure the JMG crew would beg to differ, apparently the football we played was far superior to today Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 All of the above brought a smile to my face guys, particular reference to the San Marino and the dons ones and qualifying for Argentina 78! Anyone remember Holland v England, direct free kick just outside the box, Brian Moore commentating. Ronald Koeman steps up and . . . "He gonna chip it, he's gonna chip it, he's chipped it!" Quote

Anyone remember Holland v England, direct free kick just outside the box, Brian Moore commentating. Ronald Koeman steps up and . . . "He gonna chip it, he's gonna chip it, he's chipped it!" Yeah, can't believe I forgot about that one. That's a classic. also like his from the 1985 FA Cup Final when Mark Hughes puts the ball through to Norman Whiteside who scores the winner: "WHITESIDE...ONSIDE!" And Barry Davies' classics of: "LEE...INTERESTING...VERY INTERESTING! LOOK AT HIS FACE! JUST LOOK AT HIS FACE!" and: "OOHHH PAT BONNER..." when Bonner dropped the ball into the net against Holland in USA 94. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Aye BB, good ones, another from World Cup 94, Brazil v USA and Leonardo had just knocked the face off some poor Yank wi his elbow and Alan Parry and Keegan (the kunt) were debating the point somehow, Keegan trying to justify what the cunt had done, Parry trying, without saying "oi ya daft cunt, look at what he's just done for fuck sake!" to persuade him it was a full on assualt! Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Posted February 14, 2008 Aye, turned out the Yank had a fractured skull! Knows his stuff does old Kelvin Koogan. Quote
boboisared Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 And you can't quite blame the man for going temporarily (sp) out of his mind ( Archie on Fergie after we won the League at Easter Road. Watson oooh the Bar Scanlon YESSSS. (Archie during the same game) Quote
Madbadteacher Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Not a good memory, but from the awful englund Scotland 5-1 in 75? "....through Kennedy's legs!" as the guffies put another past the hapless/hopeless hun keeper. Quote
