BigAl Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 No denying a fantastic night but back on this day in 1983 Pittodrie witnessed an even better one than that Quote

BigAl Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Ah youth of today.....missed out in so much back in the day Quote
rocket_scientist Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Ah youth of today.....missed out in so much back in the day Yes they did. My son has at least never missed a trophy being lifted in his lifetime whereas I missed 1970. It's just that we saw many being lifted and he's seen only 2, both the mickier mouse of the 3 possible trophies of course. When Hewiit knocked it in on 11.5.83, I tuned to my mate and said this is the pinnacle, it can only go down from here. My biggest recollection was the row behind us in Gothenburg and a supposed hard man at school greeting his eyes out, which nearly got me going. We were lucky, very lucky to have had Ferguson in his youth, burning with desire and ambition. But the success we had has been used against us by Milne (different agenda), Miller (incredibly given he was part of it but arse-licking his boss) and Caldererwood (thick useless fuck) all saying our expectations are unrealistic. Stupid fucks. Like we ever thought that was ever going to be possible again. Lightning doesn't strike twice. We only wanted AFC to do the best it can and the whole time under Milne, we have been significantly underperforming, unsurprisingly given the quality of managers Milne gave us. Quote
MálagaSheep Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Last match i watch with my dad together! Had a ticket for the match, and didnt go, He was a Long distance lorry driver, and surprised me by turning up at my front door, asking if i funcied a chinky for supper. Didnt tell him i had a ticket for the match. He even had two beers with me watching the game(he wasnt a drinker) we danced about the living room like idiots, over joyed by that game! That game will live with me forever, and i didnt even set foot in the turnstiles of the south stand! Memories for different reasons Quote

Memories for different reasons As one who has lost both his parents, I can relate to this and it is a touching story MS. You can always find film to enable you to relive the game and the goals. You'll never be able to relive the memory of the time spent with your father. I'd imagine you're glad you chose not to go that night in hindsight. Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Wouldn't mind a Severin & Nicholson ( In their primes ) partnership in the CDM roles today. Quote
manc_don Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Posted December 20, 2016 Wouldn't mind a Severin & Nicholson ( In their primes ) partnership in the CDM roles today. We can but dream KFP! Would be the ideal! Watched the game down at home with my Gran, Malaga, we went berserk lol. My Dad isn't much of a football man, seems to have skipped a generation, my Gran absolutely loved it. Mind finding the game on the red button down here in Englandshire and being overjoyed! Quote

I'd imagine you're glad you chose not to go that night in hindsight. Very glad! As he was invited out for dinner on boxing day for the huns game, so gave his ticket away. The call in the morning after, wasnt the call i expected, my match report for him wasnt needed! Bastard. Quote
tlg1903 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 I always forget about Seve which says a lot but he would walk into the midfield at the moment. Quote
manc_don Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Posted December 20, 2016 I always forget about Seve which says a lot but he would walk into the midfield at the moment. Seve and Heikkenen, even though I think it was for one season only? was my favourite midfield partnership in recent times. No-one has come close. Nicholson was awesome, but by then Seve wasn't his best. Quote
Elgindon Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Couldnt believe we managed to get Seve.His first season or two he was outstanding.Some screamers of goals too Great memories of both those games.Always remember the poles,students etc outside their tenement doors applauding us up Merkland road after the Copenhagen game.Happy days Quote

Heikkinen was a lovely player, exactly the kind that we need right now. Quote

BigAl Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Thirty five years ago today John Hewitt scored the goal after nine seconds at Fir Park that was to ultimately take us to European glory. FFS though, thirty five years ago Quote
Elgindon Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 I was there (sigh from the younger loons as the old gits wallow in nostalgia again) Big Dons support down that day.Me and my pal got the train thru to ABZ,intending to catch a 'luxury' Alexanders coach down,but a guy in a van turns up at the station and offers us a lift for half the price.Yasss we thought.Nipped off for a few tinnies and off we set... A nightmare trip in one of those Old Transits sitting on a coruggated metal floor.Felt every bump,and couldnt see out the back window when you sat down. Needed another carry out at Forfar to ease the suffering (hic) A good win though,shite game IIRC. led onto my fave SC final. Only higlights I can find.Were in that bounce somewhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUmBhyF7JSM Quote
TheDeeDon Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 I mind watching Hewitts goal on Sportscene on the day it happened. Happy Days! Quote
A llad insane Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Train down to Motherwell as was the norm those days, remember just getting in as the ball went in Quote
BigAl Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Nine years ago today. Bayern at Pittodrie Ah the memories Fast forward four years from that day and The Huns enter administration Quote
rocket_scientist Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 I did enjoy that 6.05 pm kick off game. I enjoyed the one in 83 better. Josh and Sone. Lahm got free in the second half and ran riot. That night was the last time I ever did something I'll never do again. It was good at the time. Quote
TheDeeDon Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 The Bayern game in 08, was a cracking game, my eldest was then 12 and had never experienced nothing like it and asked why it wasn't like that every game I mind the kids got these things at the game which made a noise and a wifie in front complained to the police. I think it was on this day back in 2006, we beat the huns 2-0. A very cold night with snow falling The Greek defender they used to have had one of the worst games I have ever seen at Pittodrie, he was hopeless and boy did we let him know it. I also mind a hun scumbag headbutted a guy going home from his work on Market Street and around 12 plods across the road never saw a thing and would have done nothing until the minky hun chunt started we somebody else about a minute later but got a swift kicking, but he still managed to escape Aberdeens finest.

BigAl Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 On this day three years ago 43,000 Dons take over Glasgow's East End Quote
BigAl Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Also 34 years ago today since we beat Bayern to reach semi final of some little tournament Quote
