calimero Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 1974 Scotland 2 England 0. Two own goals but cared not a jot. Was 12 yrs old and had only been to Scotland schoolboys matches before hearing my school was selling boys enclosure tickets for the big team. Managed to get some for all my mates who weren't at the same school as me too. Was dreich and drizzly day but the noise and the colour will stay with me forever, as will the memory of wee Jinky flicking V signs to the press box after the game as payback for all the negative press he got for the Largs rowing boat escapade What a team we had then. Happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first one too , Rory Superscot on the program , Mike Pejik got dogs abuse from the English fans behind us after scoring an og , which was going in anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Scotland v East Germany 1982 Euro Qualifier. We won 2-0. I was 8 and my dad took me and my brothers.Remember being in the old main stand with wooden seats. Luxury compared to the terracing. Lol Absolutely I can remember auld guys there with plaids across their laps to keep warm and sharing their whisky in wee nip glasses. My dad took me there at first as there was less swearing. No family area in those days (early 70's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Think the under-21s beat proper Germany 4-3 at Pittodrie in the early 90s - Big Dunc ripping the Germans a new one. What a waste, the thick . tbh this was probably the best game i've been to ; we were 3-1 down to the Germans - there was a particular incident ; Duncan went into a challenge/header heavily with a German and the crowd seemed to noise things up - i was in the south stand , ground was pretty full from memory we had some decent players in the team then ; we were close to scoring a 5th goal near the end - mind alec rae hitting one - not sure if that was the 4th goal or the almost goal - great night - 0-0 game v Sweden anti-climax in comparison (semi finals i think) paul lambert playing i think also ; booth, jess , etc 1-1 away was also a good result v Germany My first game was at Hampden v Spain in 84 or 85 - 3-1 v Spain ; 17yrs old , just started working , bridge bar for pint train down from Aberdeen walked to game ; paper train home at night - home about 2am worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Exile Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Scotland 2 - 0 France (Johnston '28 & '52) 8 March 1989 Hampden Park Att: 65,204 9 years old.....absolutely pelted down that night - arrived at the stadium drenched but luckily we were in the old West Stand so had cover, looking back I really feel for the foot soldiers who were in the North & East stands that night.....as least the result made it worthwhile. I do remember thinking for Mo Jo's first he did well to get it out from under his feet so must have been on my dads shoulders!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fZGCPxx0e0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davied14 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I was a late starter, my first match was a 0-0 draw with Croatia in September 2001. Billy Dodds had a goal disallowed. I was 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolaaand Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I was a late starter to the Scotland games. Moldova 1-1 Scotland. 2004 Aged 26. An awful game on a freezing cold night in a dodgy and dangerous city that I would never have visited otherwise. I had a great time and I've been hooked since. Still have my towels that I robbed from the Hotel Cosmos to wrap my cheap vodka in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
