The Football.....

Shamelessly stolen -

I mind that game. I played upfront for Aberdeen, despite only being 9. My strike partner was Ronaldo (the original one). Paul Nuttal played in goals and Gordon Ramsey was on the wing for Linfield (Old Rangers had loaned him to them for this game).

As I recall we were trailing going in to the 4th quarter, but I scored a 3 pointer to level things up. This took us in to overtime, but disaster struck when we lost a man to the sin bin and Linfield, sensing the win, brought on guys for the power play. However we held on, including a great sack of the quarter back, an so it went to penalties, which we won 77-76 when Penenka scored the winner in sudden, sudden, sudden, sudden, sudden death

I still have the Superbowl ring from that game.

It's not often my football team can be called Trailblazers in English Football, but if this comes to fruition then we may well be!

There has been a massive amount of work from dedicated supporters in getting even this far with the project and they deserve it to be a success. Time will tell

It works well at Parkhead. Was there for their friendly with Wolfsburg and massively preferred it to sitting down!

U-21 European semi-final on Eurosport at the mo.

0-0 between England and Germany.

IIRC, the script goes 0-0 after 120 minutes of football and Germany to win on penalties. I suspect the players know it, too.

Ah well...
0-1 to Germany...

I don't really get the safe standing thing. The attraction of open terracing wasn't standing still on the same spot, it was being able to move around easily and if it was full, to be enveloped in that whole tribal crowd thing. Scary when you're lifted off your feet, but thrilling and exhilarating to feel part of something so animalistic. Safe standing looks to me pretty much like standing in your seat, spaced out and no movement.

1-1 at half time.

Blimey - 2-1 England.

2-2 after extra time, Germany win 4-3 on penalties.

Good on them, getting used to that early in their careers.

I'd have expected at least a from you.
