Oh what a night. I went to this game praying we could somehow sneak a 1-0 win and snatch a place in the last 32. The first half was a nervy affair but the second half was probably the most enjoyable 45 minutes of football I have witnessed.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Couldnt even see us getting a draw from this game. The most outrageous match I've ever attended!!

[Karl Fletcher]

Ridiculous night.

 

Never seen an atmosphere at Pittodrie like that before, thought the Ground was going to take off at one point.

 

I was in the lower deck of the Beach End, fucking superb game. Best I've been to at Pittodrie anyway.

 

The piss up afterwards was also something to behold

 

Then waking up with a beasting hangover next day, we're first out the hat during the draw and we're paired with Bayern Munich :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Dynamo]

Was a cracker right enough. As Karl says, draw the next day, and Bayern Munich comes out for us, you dancer!

Was an expensive morning booking my flight just before christmas whilst still a student!

[Foster14]

I'd told folks at work that I was going to have a tequila for each goal we scored that night (as a joke, I thought we'd be getting 0 or maybe 1 at a push). That was a tough Friday at work...

[Stoney]

Thought i was going to have to miss this one as i had the worst shitting bug ever, took a few of those tablets that clog you up and braved the game.......

 

Was in the south corner, was a proper old school night, felt like terracing bodies flying ah-way when we scored.

[paddy]

I remember a tim at my work saying we'd get humped. Cunt.

 

Amazing atmosphere at pittodrie that night. Hearing vouvouzelas was surreal!

[tommo1903]

The best result in our clubs history.

[Roo]

I almost didn't go. Never have I been so glad to have gotten off my lazy arse

[360]

Cheers Jimmy.

 

Since he's been sacked, have we been close to having another game like this?

 

Didn't think so.

[Gover]

It will be a while before we see that again. Fucking amazing bounce that got better with every goal, never left Pittodrie so satisfied.

that we get two decent trips ti Hampden this year

[StandFree1982]

Fondly remember having to get up the next day at 6am for work.

 

Absolute belter of a game and night out afterwords!

 

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE Jamie Smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiths

Im afraid I have bad news

 

1) we are already out of one cup.

2) footy teams arent playing at hampden next couple of years as its being prepared for the 2014 games.

Fishing? Cos the semis and the final of the Scottish cup are at Hampden this season...

[Patty]

Cheers Jimmy.

Neither has he to be honest...

 

(I do realise I have been caught... )

[Bluto10]

Haha no bother, you made me question myself with that one.

In all seriousness though I hope ti fuck we do get ti Hampden. Ive never seen the Dons lift a trophy live but i would imagine it would be unforgetable. Just as unforgetable as the time I bit into my Kit Kat to discover it was all chocolate! Man, what a blast we had that night...

[fine-n-dandy]

Another great thing about that night was that hun prick Sionko getting his arse handed to him on a plate.

 

Mind how he'd been in the press before hand saying that he's told his team mates that they had nothing to worry about cos they will easily beat Aberdeen cos we were shite?

 

Sionko

[OddJob]

Aye it was an unbelievable night, folk were falling about all over the place at the 1st goal, let alone the others

 

Shows you how immense the atmosphere was, cause even the 2 goals we scored against Munich never got the reaction like Smith's 2 goals against the Danes.

 

I remember i was still nervous even at 2-0, but then once the guy scored the O.G i relaxed and enjoyed every minute after that

[zander]

Remember leaving the ground in Madrid dejected when somebody announced that if Madrid beat Copenhagen next week then we beat them also we could go through

[Dandie1992]

"come on tae fuck Aberdeen!" - 15 minutes prior to kick off, then *enter brain "What are you saying yi tit? We are going to get humped"

 

Unreal experience. Felt like the world cup final...and winning it.

[dervish]

This thread is microcosmic of being a don. Magic night, best for a while. Fair sniff of whinge in it though!

 

I just mind smith hitting the first and all the nervous tension of "we're gonna get fucked" just evaporated. It just slotted in like a wee relief valve going off. Then the rest came and all the tims (canna mind why they were so vocal?) who were saying we'd be fucked could shelf their paddy patter.

I mind watching a bottle fly though the air "fuck thats been up there for ages" then it landed right at my feet. Half a meter longer and my new nickname would be scarface.

[kramer]

Great night, for once we actually pulled something unexpected off. Kinda surreal being in Europe after christmas which the OF always made such a big song and dance about. Wasn't that our worst season in the league under Calderwood as well?

 

Only thing ruins that video is the ridiculous commentary, everyones going mental with each goal and the commentators busy reading out some pointless stat from a sheet of paper.

To be fair I'd have taken 3-0 for Foster not have been included.
