Haven't read it since the publication and I was in tears then reading and just brings it all back. Thank you to Drum and others for their other articles which I will catch up on as well. Amazed at how much that affected me and all Pars fans that afternoon. I hope I don't have to experience another like it Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 48. Author: Malcolm Canmore Date: Thu 29th Oct 2015. 19:33 Jeez! That brought back some memories and emotions. Never been to a game like it - and hope those circumstances never befall us again. It's the only match that I can recall in such detail. I was drained at the end. God knows how the players got through it. My dog eats meat Reply |

Think it's going to be a cracker too. ***Red carded despite breaking no rules, not swearing and not being abusive. ThaiPar out*** Reply |
| 50. Author: SanguinePar Date: Thu 29th Oct 2015. 19:52 Grant, Wed 28 Oct 21:17 I went to school with (and later briefly worked for) the chap who filmed it, we used to film the Pars games as part of the media studies class. Filmed many a match myself (and it was coooooold). The poor quality of the image is simply down to it being taken straight from the VHS tape we recorded the games on - even at the time it never looked all that good and the years probably weren't kind to the tape before it was converted to digital for the DVD. Sadly most of these will have been taped over, we're just really lucky that this one remains. The other great white buffalo is the Kozma hattrick game, which may or may not have been filmed, and if so may or may not have been kept. It's pretty unlikely though, in all honesty. ***Red carded despite breaking no rules, not swearing and not being abusive. ThaiPar out*** Reply |

| 52. Author: Par Date: Thu 29th Oct 2015. 19:56 Amazing reading those articles again, football just 22 men kicking a bag of air about....no Us Pars fans have been though more than most over the years, but we are defined by our experiences, it's what makes our club special and make us all proud to be Pars fans.

| 53. Author: TAFKA_Super_Petrie Date: Thu 29th Oct 2015. 20:31 Im sure someone on here worked besides Craig Robertsons wife and by chance she mentioned he had the full game on VHS when nobody else knew it existed. Gifted from the guy filming it from school i would imagine? That became the master copy for the DVD transfer. ---------------------------------------------------------------  [b]"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic, but I didn't see him today.

| 54. Author: SanguinePar Date: Thu 29th Oct 2015. 21:00 TAFKA_Super_Petrie, Thu 29 Oct 20:31 Wow! The guy filming it was probably not the one who gave him it though - he would have only have been 17, and the tape would have belonged to the school. ***Red carded despite breaking no rules, not swearing and not being abusive.

| 59. Author: Fu_Manchu Date: Fri 30th Oct 2015. 06:50 < That was me. I loaned Mrs R a tape I had made of the Pars, as she met Craig in his time at Aberdeen, so hadn't seen him play for us pre-Aberdeen. In return I got a loan of the Clydebank video. Got someone to transfer it onto another video for me so that I could return Craig's copy. Fast forward a few years I happened to mention to Jason about the video which ultimately led to the DVD copies. Btw, I never got my video back from Robbo... Black, black, BLACK! Reply |
