Closest would be the Clydebank game just after Norrie died. You could feel the weight of the occasion hitting the players particularly when we let a 3-0 lead slip to be 3-3 and with the fans really getting behind the boys, we somehow salvaged the winner with that glorious strike from Craig Robertson.
It just felt like all the emotion from that week were released in that shot and you felt it on the terracing.


This for me, I had tears in my eyes at points during that match, although I wasn`t full on bubbling, it was by far the most emotional I`ve been at a game. Just one week earlier I had been talking to Norrie at Nico`s, as I usually did. That game was surreal, the players looked out on their feet until the ball dropped to Craig Robertson. "The Goal" was more than just a goal, it seemed as though the will of the crowd actually guided that ball into the back of the net.

The only other time I can remember actual tears must have been when Leishman`s Premier Pars got relegated after a midweek match at Hearts, when I was a bairn, I remember me and my pals all having a wee bubble in the back of the car.

My pet hate is at a big televised football match, when the cameras zoom in on a upset looking supporter of the losing team, but then they see themselves on the big screen and it`s all smiles and big waves, and they`re grabbing their pals and pointing at the screen, saying "look, we`re on TV". From despair to joy in seconds

Don`t remember crying during the Clydebank game, but definitely did during the minute silence at the start. I wanted to go home at half time & I remember being utterly exhausted at the end with the emotion, the ups & downs of the game, the euphoria at the winner (still think Norrie scored that goal) and throwing my scarf barely over the barrier at the end, so grateful to the steward that picked it up to put alongside the many others hanging on the net.

Again, not during a game but remember being in the pub after the 2007 Cup final & bursting into tears at the "highlights" lol - losing the cup final to THEM again to such a nondescript goal from a player no one has ever heard of after such a fantastic run to the final & being relegated was just too much to bear!

Still think that would have been the perfect cup win - beating Rangers and Celtic & Hearts & Hibs would have been absolutely amazing.

Sigh 😕


COME ON YE PARS!
