CammyF 6,779 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Winning the Scottish Cup in May was silver lining to what was an ultimately unsuccessful season and right on the back of the heartache in Saville. We'll all have our favourite cup memories and games we'd like to forget. This one is firmly in the later category and happened 8 years ago today. I'm 99% sure I was at this game but have no memories of it other than the result. Erased from memory! If the game / result weren't bad enough, check out our team which featured Remie Streete.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/31079381 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same. I was probably there but don't recall anything about the game, even the result. Here's so much about that period that's easily erased. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,150 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I was travelling back down the A9 from a family holiday getting updates from that game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,155 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The good: 3-1 v Dundee 1964 The bad: 2-3 v Hibs 2016 The ugly: 0-4 v celtic 1969 These are all finals. Meanwhile, in other rounds: The unbelievable: 0-1 v Hamilton 1987 The impossible: 0-1 v Berwick 1967 The aw naw: 0-6 v Aberdeen (I wasn’t there but the radio commentary is seared into the memory banks) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,129 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 good one Rangers 3 Celtic 0 replay 1963 a bad one Rangers v Hibs 1979 was like an endurance test ugly ones any that was lost one with a wake up call was Berwick instead of Forrest going it should have been the manager i was told Symon never took to Jim for whatever reason management was entering a new era with the track suit man why does it always take us so long to see the bigger picture . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 We've both won and lost many finals. Only one defeat left so much pain I'll never really get over it ..... the 4-0 loss to Celtic in 1969. That was truly horrendous. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was - it would explain the attendance (or lack off) - just over 14,000 souls turned up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one lasting memory of that final was John Greig trying to dribble at the edge the 18yd box and losing out, 4th goal? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
