Celtic 5-4 Partizan Belgrade

Was at this, mad night .. we defended dreadfully.

 

Anton Rogan sprinting to get the ball to take a quick throw in when we were 5-3 ahead...........FUD!!!!!!

 

In Corfu at the time, no mobiles or laptops in these days, just phoning home on the land line..............last call was 5-3 (agg6-5) well into injury time and then the party started

 

Think this was probably the first European game I was at. Amazing atmosphere and unbelievable match.

 

One * of a game, i nearly smashed my radio at the end

 

This, and the FC Tirol home game are 2 of our craziest games in Europe. One went against us, one went for us.

 

Was at this

 

Jackie’s finest hour. But we * it

 

Absolute sickener at the end. Would've been gutting to have experienced it. Wonder how far we could've went that year.

 

This was my first ever game!

 

With that defending.....not far.

 

Will never forget this game. Listened to it on the radio as a boy. Jacki was my favourite player at the time. What a roller coaster of emotions that night.

If I remember correctly, John Greig was co-commentator and even he sounded frustrated with our defending and the manner in which we blew it.

 

absolutely !!!

Seems odd to hear the commentator saying "the Pole" over and over and over again. He'd have fun commentating in 2023! I'd say our first team with everyone fit is likely to be:

The Englishman

The Canadian The American The Pole Taylor

The Dane McGregor The Japanese

The The Japanese The Japanese

Subs: Bain, The Irishman, the Englishman, the Japanese, the Japanese, the Korean, the Korean, Turnbull, the Israeli, the Swede, the Portuguese, Forrest, the Honduran

Manager: the Irishman
Assistant manager: Kennedy

 

Archie McPherson was the master of this. Nakamura was just simply called "The Japanese" the whole time he was here. I always mind Archie commentating when we beat Man Utd at Celtic Park. Nakamura does a wee bit of trickery and beats the defender and Archie goes "oooafffftttt....he did a little jig with the ball there, the Japanese". Sticks in ma head that

Anyway. They used to take the * out of him all the time to see how many of the Dundee players that he could remember at the time when they had a large foreign contingent...Cannigia, Cabarello, Sara etc......He knew Gavin Rae and Rab Douglas and a couple of more famous ones....he dodged commentating on anybody else by name the whole match........."What a shot there.....by eh......Dundee....." thats the typa stuff he was coming away with to try and get round it

 

No very far....even although it was an exciting game we were * at the time.....granted not the depths of * that we reached by 1994..... but still *....as soon as we came up against anybody half decent in Europe we folded

 

Was it no something to do with Stefan Scepovic's father or something?? Was he no the scorer of the deciding goal or something? Im sure that rings a bell
