Perhaps a fair point when we're playing the scum but I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to play smaller teams on Sat evenings. Can't really see things kicking off at Dons vs St Johnstone no matter how pissed folk are

That game at Pittodrie was Saturday 3pm and the old firm game was day game aswell but happened to be league decider.

Defintely wasnt a 3pm kick off. Was definitely an early evening game as I remember I was working and phoning my dad for updates who was watching it on SKY.

Aye it was definitely an evening game as i was meant to be working but for some reason - which i can't remember - i managed to see the game at Murdos and the whole place went fucking apeshit when Winters got hit by the coin.

Was it nae something absurd like a 6-05 pm kick off, if memory serves?

Aye maybe it was later - definitely a Saturday though. Surprised police would let Saturdaay night go ahead mind you.

 

5.35pm kick off according to heritage site.

Old Firm game was a Sunday evening for Sky.

Offt - again amazed cops allowed that one being title decider.

 

Mind you the early kick off times like Saturday fairly kill off any atmosphere and make it easy for policing.

I had a quote lifted off an old message board for one of the Sunday papers the day after that game.

 

A hun I worked with at the time knew it was me who'd posted it and led me to the article.

 

It was a late kick off as I'd took half an hour off me end of shift to watch it on the box.
