Your favourite win at the Stade de Bigot

Samaras Sunday.

 

Only pulling your plonker.

 

Samaras Sunday gave us hope, when things looked dire.

 

Probably this one. But Sunday has to be up there. That was a tremendous, brilliant result on Sunday.

The one Im posting was Lou Macari's first game in charge and we went to Ibrox with absolutely no chance apparantly. We were a very very poor side at the time. But the fans went absolutely mental when Brian O'Neil scored the winner. Proper mental

 

Murray was deluded. He clearly didnt think it was possible for his financial bubble to burst. They were constantly spending beyond their means, for years. It never crossed his mind that "wait the noo...we're no bringing in enough money to cover this type of spending...." Before there were transfer windows and you could just sign a player whenever you wanted.....thats what they did.....whenever they had a bad result.....whenever they got beat off us....or pumped out of Europe....they immdediately went out and spent another fortune on a player or two.....all to take their fans' minds off the bad result. It realy was ridiculous at times. Their squad was huge. And full of over-paid players who under-achieved at every other club they were at.

I remember an interview with Murray....I think it was when they signed Laudrop....and he said ...."People better realise....that rangers are the biggest football club in Britain". I mean whit???? The guy actually believed that. Thats what the biggest part of their problem was

 

Sammy Sunday for me.

 

Sammy sunday was the most unexpected victory v them this century i would imagine.


Personal favourite is the 2-1 last year at Ibrox. Finished off that brilliant month of December

 

Samaras Sunday, didn’t think we had a chance, completely revitalised the whole team and support under Lennon after some woeful performances in December. Last seasons 5-1 runs it close, complete and utter dominance from first minute to last, should’ve been more as well.

 

Never thought about like that before. I was wondering why hardly anyone chose a victory from the MON years - like this was our first real period of proper dominance in decades and there were quite a few decent victories to chose from. Yet it definitely seems like the more recent victories have been more enjoyable - for exactly those reasons: social media, online platforms and greater documentation of our goals, players' reactions, Hun misery, fan reactions and interactions.

This is definitely true for someone like me who lives in a place where there is virtually no interaction with Huns. I mean, my mum's side of the family is Protestant and I've friends and relatives who are Protestants, but absolutely no Huns. I know of literally no people who support Rangers/The Rangers, I don't come across them at all - so I never get the opportunity to go into work or play fives or go out socially and noise them up. I'm sure for many on here, there's a great pleasure in getting it right up your workmates or neighbours or whatever. But for me the only place I find them is online. So social media, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, fans' forums etc. allow me to really interact and enjoy these moments in ways that were not possible years ago.

 

Yes i was at that 4-4 game,yes it was unreal,there was something in the air that day,i remember the unreal atmosphere before we even got into the Piggery.

 

Beachball Sunday in 2003 was another brilliant result. We'd just beat Boavista on the Thursday to make the UEFA Cup Final. And walked right into Ibrox still knackered and won 2-1.....just playing on pure instinct.

We done it again the following season right after going to the Nou Camp.....and running our guts out for a 0-0 draw with Barca that put us through to the UEFA Cup Quarter Finals again......Big John Kennedy and David Marshall had played the game of their lives at the Nou Camp. I think they were both making their debuts aswell. Then they went to Ibrox and both played brilliantly again. Think that was 2-1 aswell

Those to games were satisfying as *. But Sunday there was on a par with those games. That was proper satisfying that. 10 men. Still schooled them. PROUD AS *.

 

Samaras Sunday for me

 

For me it's henkes 50th. As per the avatar. A lovely double from lubo combined with larssons 50th from a very tight angle with his weaker foot resulting in a 3-0 mauling of EBT United.

 

Struggling to pick between 5-1 last year and Sunday there. Never thought 5-1 would be beaten but last weekend was something special. Watching and hearing the Huns get their hopes up pre-match / after both goals then watching it all come crashing down around them was a thing of beauty.

Also our goals weren’t too shabby either which added to a great day out!

 

Every one of them.

 

5-1 was special. But Sunday for me was right up there with the very best. Proper knocked the stuffing right out them and any belief they had in themselves. We have truly asserted ourselves as the best team in the country by miles with that result.

 

I really enjoyed our 2-0 win at the Piggery on March 21st 1992,Charlie Nicholas and Gerry Creaney the scorers,i was in the Pub at the time that saturday afternoon watching the Grandstand results coming in as i was on a Pub crawl with some mates,i had no idea the score until the report flashed up at approx 4.50pm,one of our group was a Hun fanatic,he had bragged that they were certs earlier in the day

 

Genuinely the first person I have ever heard say this Minty. I remember watching it with my younger brother full of trepidation and Guinness.
