Haven't watched it but I doubt that incident will be shown. Has it ever been shown on TV since it occured?

We were right behind the goal and although everyone shouted for a penalty when it wasn't given no-one looked surprised.

A blatant penalty? More like a total monstering. However in a Scottish Cup Final against cheats like Rangers it just apparently never occured, was ignored at the time and ignored by everyone else since, except Hibs. But we all know that in Scotland the only fans that the authorities placate are those of the Old Firm. Cheating k*nts.

Does it matter if he is a Rangers supporter? Are referees not allowed to support teams? And as for Lodges, are you referring to Orange or Masonic ones? Or do you just presume that anyone who is a member of both/either must be a Rangers fan.

I watched this tonight and I found it very interesting.

It's amazing what you can achieve in sport when you have someone in charge who is a real winner and has a winning mentality and they are able to instil that mentality into their players.

It doesn't surprise me that Alex Ferguson got up the nose of several Aberdeen players when he first arrived at the club as he probably did come across as being extremely arrogant and conceited and at first there was absolutely nothing to back it up. He had previously won no major honours as a player or as a manager and had just been sacked by St Mirren.

However, what that man has done in football over the past 30 years has been nothing short of extraordinary and he must go down as the greatest football manager of all time as far as I'm concerned.

Rangers, Celtic, their supporters, the SFA, the media .. all put excessive pressure on referee's. This results in Celtic and Rangers getting more than their fair share of decisions.

Therefore it can be argued that Rangers are cheats by association.

Yes the George Best season was a bit of a novelty and nothing more for me anyway. It was great to see him pinging seventy yard passes around though and despite his arrival heralding the departure of Eddie Turnbull I'd rather we had him for that short period than not. Sauzee on the other hand didn't have the problems that Besty had and was in my view a better player than Best comparing their periods with Hibs and not necessarily their entire careers.

I remember season 79/80 quite well.

Celtic blew the lague thats for sure. We were top at New Year (Morton were second) and were 9 poinst ahead of Aberdeen, then we went on a run of 6 games without a win. We drew 1--1 with hibs at Easter Road in a game we should have lost, thne we drew 6 league games in a row, even St Mirren
(who finished 3rd that year) breathing down our necks.

w
e tehn lost 2-1 at home to Aberdeen and then 3-0 away to Dundee United and teh salt in the wound game was a 5-1 drubbing at Dens Park.

we beat the huns and Aberdeen had dropped some points PLUS we had them at home again so all was not lost, but it was when we lost 3-0 or 3-1 at home.

Bright spots were the Semi Final win v Hibs (I think you went down that year) and beating the huns (who finished 5th :greengrin) in the Cup Final.

As an aside, Celtic had a decent side in the 1980's and won 4 titles. In 1983 and 1987 we had 9 point leads in both those seasons and conspired to throw them away.

Despite beating them in most head to heads though in 83/84 and 84/85, Aberdeen were untouchable.

WOuld not think that the 80's would be remembered fondly by Hibs fans though.

I was in a different mood, IIRC. We were already relegated, so the game was irrelevant to us. However, I was quite keen to see someone other than the OF win the league, so I was ok with Aberdeen winning. Indeed, there were many Hibbies on the terracing that day who were cheering the Aberdeen goals.

You don't half talk some nonsense. You were 11/12 years old and you remember it well with all the descriptions to go with it! Well Jack I was 10/11 at the time and was at most games that season and the only one that I can really remember is the last game at ER against A/deen when they won 0-5, and my biggest memory of that is of the Dons fans on the pitch at the end of the game and not really much about the game itself. Oh and you seem to have turned yet another thread into a thread about Celtic. Aberdeen dominated because they were better than Celtic or Rangers and not because you blew it. If that were really the case can we not just say that really Hibs should have won the league any number of times but didn't, not because others were better but because we blew it.

Just to get back on the thread topic, What did everyone who watched think of the programme tonight?


Great show, showed the old firm fans as despicable and loathesome.....

Some things never change
Good programme.

I think the old firm fans have hit on something to spice the game experience up a bit. I think after every Old Firm game the fans that want to should be allowed to enter the field of play and batter seventy different colours of ****** out each other in a Ultimate Fight Club sort of stylee. Could catch on and we might see it introduced to every game all over the country. Might justify the admission price and even get more people through the turnstyles.:top marks
TV Rights etc and it could be the saving of the game up here.

Hang on a second, to be fair to Jack Regan - he did say that Aberdeen were untouchable - I think that that is a pretty positive statement to make about another team. Also I think that if you're 9 points ahead at new year, then finish well behind, it is fair to say you blew it. In my opinion one team can blow it whilst anothers win it. They don't need to be mutually exclusive.

I think of Newcastle being 12 clear in march, and keegan losing it. I also think of Norman being 6 (?) clear and Faldo winning the 97 Masters. To win something, usually one person/ team has to do well; but often if one has a big lead, then one does needs to do well and one do badly.

I think you boys are unnecessarily, in this instance at least, giving him a hard time.

I see your point caller! I may have gone off on one, defending JR when I didn't read his post correctly :doh:

It all sort of depends on whether the outstanding remark refers purely to the 83-85 period, or the era.

If not the era, then it is is bit ungraceful. However, losing a 9point lead, is good going though....

When they lose against the huns, its a conspiracy, but when they lose against anyone else, its down to them blowing it. Did you know they were the only teams to lose and draw games that season. If they dont win it, or their bigoted brothers, then its nothing to do with how well they did, only how the smellies threw it away. I ****in hate them, maybe you guessed that?

Absolute pish. The truth is that there's only two years in the last fifty in which it would be correct and proper to say that the league was lost rather than won. Those years are 1965 and 1986.

Dont talk *****, did Aberdeen not draw any games either? Your words were you blew it, no praise for the team that won it, you lost the league, Aberdeen never won it. As you say, the league never lies.:asshole:

Seriously, only you could take issue with what I said on here. But I'll rephrase and try and be a clear as possible for your benefit.

Celtic were at one stage in season 79/80, 9 points ahead of aberdeen, put us in a great position to win the league. However, Celtic's lack of consistency in the spring of that year added to Aberdeen putting together a fine run, culminating in two wins at Celtic Park, saw Celtic throw away their advantage, while aberdeen, through putting together a good run from January onwards, saw them deservedly win the league. Not once did I say that they were not worthy champions. The difference between that season and their title wins in 84 and 85, was that in the latter two years, they led from the start and won both with a bit to spare.

If you think thats unreasonable, then I suggest its you who are being unreasonable

Wasn't David Syme exposed for being at a Rangers supporters do, singing a gutsy rendition of the Sash?

Or is this just a figment of my imagination?

Jack, help me out here, please.

Davie Syme, while a well known blue nose in his native Rutherglen, was IMO a pretty fair ref. I can only think of one howler he had. Although, too young to remember - I do believe his father (also a grade 1 whistler) was seen as being less impartial.

Syme drank, on occasion in uber Rangers pub in Rutherglen Mains St called the Linn of Dee, but I am unsure if he ever got caught sashing it up.

Jim McCLuskey on the other hand was lifted for being drunk and disorderly after an orange walk in Stewarton.

yes I do remember it well as it was my first season that I got to attend all the matches, before my dad never took me to Aberdeen or Dundee. I can't help it if I have a good memory and you don't.

Also it was not my intention to turn the thread into one about Celtic, I was merely providing the thread with my own memories of that season and and a summary of that era in Scottish football.

Seriously, if people on here have found what I typed objectionable then I think some chill pills are required.

Bollox bollox and more bollox. If you had said that in the beginning i would not have replied. You posted how you threw it away, giving no credit to Aberdeen. Its there for all to see.

Not all that you type is objectionable, most but not all. What gets right on my nerves is how you can turn any post into a Celtic post. This one was about Aberdeen and Dundee Utd FFS.

I remember season 79/80 quite well.

Below is nothing like above, backtracking again.

Celtic blew the lague thats for sure. We were top at New Year (Morton were second) and were 9 poinst ahead of Aberdeen, then we went on a run of 6 games without a win. We drew 1--1 with hibs at Easter Road in a game we should have lost, thne we drew 6 league games in a row, even St Mirren
(who finished 3rd that year) breathing down our necks.

w
e tehn lost 2-1 at home to Aberdeen and then 3-0 away to Dundee United and teh salt in the wound game was a 5-1 drubbing at Dens Park.

we beat the huns and Aberdeen had dropped some points PLUS we had them at home again so all was not lost, but it was when we lost 3-0 or 3-1 at home.
