Topic: Craig Robertson
21. Author: Rastapari Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 15:29 DrumRoad, Wed 28 Oct 01:13 Thought then & still do......... Norrie had a hand in that goal Nearly 20 years later & it's still my single "you had to have been there" football moment.........it was most definitely surreal If I remember correctly we were cruising at 3 nil up & the enormity of the recent events seemed to hit like a hammer blow when Clydebank scored their first goal, the legs went & we went into free fall, they got back to 3-3 & looked like ruining what was initially looking like a fantastic tribute to Norrie in the 1st game back just four days after his death Up stepped Craig Robertson & the rest as they say is history I remember the goal like it was yesterday, I hope I recall the rest of the events correctly? This....nothing I can add. Reply
22. Author: petrie_pants Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 15:29 I've thought about it for a long time, spoken to a couple of guys who have written Scottish football books and even a couple of ex-Pars people from that time. Would take a heck of work but there's certainly something there; that 2 or 3 year period had absolutely everything. Reply
23. Author: Blackandwhiteblood Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 15:58 Is there not a book coming out shortly that covers that era up till now. Reply
24. Author: MDCCCLXXXV Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 16:33 As said above I remember Craig Robertsons goal like it was yesterday, I remember the final whistle going and crying like a 5 year old but cant remember anything at all about the rest of the match East End Park is a symbol of all that is DAFC.

25. Author: Frank Grimes Jnr Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 16:35 Has anyone got the times and names of the scorers? I keep thinking that I missed all of the Bankies goals queuing for food, but maybe only 2? Reply
26. Author: Johan_Cruyff Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 16:58 Who was it that released the DVD of the whole game a few years back ? I bought one then gave it to a great mate of mine to have. Reply
27. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 17:05 Frank Grimes Jnr, Wed 28 Oct 16:35 Has anyone got the times and names of the scorers? I keep thinking that I missed all of the Bankies goals queuing for food, but maybe only 2? I can remember the overwhelming feeling of deflation when it was obvious they were going to equalise. Every man woman and child could sense the players had spent their energy, emotional energy on the early part of the game and nobody could have said a damn word had we lost it. To actually find something after this was truly inspirational and it came right after their equaliser if memory serves. I think we all agreed at the time the result was irrelevant but as it turned out , it was one of the most important results and got the team spirit together again. That season, after Norrie was like no other I can think of. The delay in the trophy presentation gave fans lots of times to stand and remember Norrie in the final game and it felt like he was around the club Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
28. Author: Par Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 17:21 95 / 96. or in reality Jan to April 96, what an emotional roller coaster The Pars fans went through. If I remember the Clydebank game the home end was full and locked well before kick off, but the fans were quiet, once the minutes silence was over that changed. The players and the fans gave there all releasing a lot of pent up frustrations, then when 3 nil up both fans and players started to contemplate what had happened and Clydebank took advantage, then one man with a Pars angel on his back hit that amazing goal, and the roar and emotional release of the players and fans was unbelievable. We were not going to be denied the victory that day or the title with OUR captain still leading for the front. Reply

30. Author: Grant Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 21:17 I uploaded the original video, my dad had a dvd and the Craig Robertson goal did indeed come right after the equaliser. Reply
31. Author: honk Date: Wed 28th Oct 2015. 21:56 I was in my usual position down by the corner flag and found myself lying on the terracing with about 20 folk on top of me! The sheer volume and outpouring of emotion was something we might never see again. Reply

40. Author: Frank Grimes Jnr Date: Thu 29th Oct 2015. 17:08 Thanks everyone. I think i missed their 2nd and 3rd goals.Just. Came back to the standing area behind the goals with my dad who said they'd equalised, the guy in front confirmed it when i didn't believe him. I think right then Robbo smashed it in. I also think that was the game my dad fully became a Pars fan. Reply
