[polbrannagh]

You CAN find these photos on some sites also, but even these are prone to being temperamental, I was about to post the site but kerrydalestreet.co.uk have some problems.

[polbrannagh]

I've just checked the photographs of that Brilliant night on another site, it was daylight until about 21:00hrs, the photos are as clear as day in Celtic Park right up to the pitch celebration of the Leauge Championship.

[polbrannagh]

The bbc is doing bad again,

[polbrannagh]

They'll show me the better recording later.

[ThefightingCelt]

I was there, in the "jungle" - it was a monday evening. It just has to be one of the best and most emotional nights ever at Celtic Park ever. Celtic played better once Doyle was sent off. Davie Provan and Roy Aitken were absolutely immense that night.

[andrew67]

Yes there was a pitch invasion

[stonecoldrules456]

was there a pitch invasion in this one!!! PLZ ANSWER WHO EVER ANSWERS GET's A SUB

[strummerocks]

@stonecoldrules456 I don't remember a pitch invasion, or even a lap of honour, but I do remember the all night open air parties afterwards, the polis were to scared to break them up

[stonecoldrules456]

@strummerocks alright thanks. but do you have any pics of the match?

[Sunburst75]

Was at this game 31 years ago but have never seen it since as the BBC were on strike at the time.........interesting to see it again.

[Gersroolz]

Aye Timmy"s I was there that night & Rangers sat back too much after the late John Doyle was sent off, fair enough you took the honours. That is why it was so sweet 20 years later to exact revenge at CP irrespective of TGFITW's & CFC players antics that day. Salute to Neil MacCann the wee man was a God that day! We are the people.

[polbrannagh]

It is disgusting biased prejudice British coverage for Roman Catholics, We Won.

Glory Be To The Father & The Son & The Holy Spirit. Amen.

I'm Glad & Good

[Gersroolz]

Oh shut up you boring RA clone! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[rupertopesto]

Is this 1979 or 1969?

[polbrannagh]

Best game I ever seen, I was there that night, had to get all the way back to st. Mary's Academy in Bathgate, early next morning from grandas in Baillieston who got me ticket from the railway.

At the time the 16 bus went right through, had to be up early nest morning though.

[RoryBhoy1957]

Ah wuz in the jungle at that match. Fuckin' brilliant so it was. Magic.

[123strauss]

I was there that night . There was a lightning strike by the BBC that day. No one ever knew why , and no one knew if it was resolved .But all the fans knew . The orangmen at the BBC ( and STV ) simply could not bear to let all the tims see the match, that's why . Bastards

[hondas67]

Just found this and it takes me back to that night. I was 16 years old at the time and have never seen the goal since. Well done whoever posted this lost piece of history. Hail Hail

[174JK50]

This is on 'If You Know the History' video. You can buy the DVD now at the shop.

[greenhilljohn]

I was there. I got in with a bicycle.Though I could not get it in to the jungle.I had to settle for behind the goal. There was also a bus strike the same day.

Nothing was going to stop me seeing that match.

Ah what memories. Get it right up them!

[GAFFERPHE]

Incredible footage! I remember reading about it the next day, Come on the 10 men, Johnny Doyle RIP sent off! I imagine it was some night to be in Paradise that night.

[cypha2mk]

Thanks, i was there on the night, never seen the goals since, memories are made of this! Hail Hail

[ddoug123]
