Norris Cole 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 As we head into the first Old Firm cup final since 2003, I got thinking about that glorious sunny day at Hampden six years ago. I remember going into the game with some nervousness having been beaten the week before at Torbett Towers, and being completely taken aback as we tore them apart in the first-half to go in 2-0 at half-time. Mols ran Balde absolutely ragged and they couldn't cope with the pace of Caniggia and Lovenkrands. One of my most abiding memories from the game was Caniggia beating Lennon in a chase to the ball despite the Lurgan Bigot having a 20 yard head start. Oh, and Lennon getting sent off near the end was a treat as well. Having looked in no danger at all during the first half, the last half-hour of the second half was excruciating after Larsson pulled one back. When Balde fell over like a sack of tatties under the 'force' of the intimidating hulk that is Neil McCann in the 93rd minute and the referee pointed to the spot I thought I was going to cry. Hartson duly steps up and sends the light blue legions into rapture to cap off a marvellous day in the Hampden sunshine. I'm not sure we gave ourselves enough credit for playing a formidable Celtic outfit off the park that day. A few days later they went to Anfield and comfortably beat Liverpool in the UEFA Cup. What's everyone else's memories of this day? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_div_1/2853133.stm 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 0 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Can't remember the year but was the old Skol Cup Final and the first old firm final I'd been too. Was the one where Coisty got his hat-trick in extra time to clich a 3-2 win. Was high as a kite and cant remember the bus home. Must be a fair while ago as I was just a kid 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the 2002/03 season review it has the full 90 minutes on disc 2. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
