I HAVE LISTED BELOW A NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH WILL LIVE WITH

ME FOR A LONG TIME AFTER OUR CUP RUN OF LAST SEASON. I HOPE

THEY BRING BACK SOME OF YOURS.

STANDING FOR A SECOND WONDERlNG IF SNELDERS HAD SAVED SUPER

SUBS SHOT AT PITTODRIE. FOLLOWED BY SHOCK WHEN IT HIT THE NET.

- HOW MARVELLOUS THE JOURNEY HOME FROM PITTODRIE WAS!!!

- HOW GOOD IT WAS WE HAD A HOME DRAW AFTER THIS ONE

- DID BIG NICK REALLY SCORE TWO GOALS WITH HIS FEET AGAINST FALKIRK

- WATCHING JOHNNY GAHAGAN PLAY (AND SCORE) FOR SOMEONE ELSE

- BITING MY NAILS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PENALTY SHOOT OUT AT CAPPIELOW UNTIL PSYCHO'S PENALTY HIT THE NET.

- GOING TO WORK TO MEET ALL MY MORTON COLLEAGUES THE DAY AFTER

DISBELIEVING THAT REFEREE HOPE DID NOT GIVE A PENALTY IN THE FIRST SEMI

- FERGUSON HITTING THE POST IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES OF THE ABOVE GAME

- ALL FOUR GOALS IN THE SEMI REPLAY

- THE MOMENT I BELIEVED I WOULD SEE MOTHERWELL IN THE CUP FINAL WHEN KIRK SCORED IN THE SEMI.

- GOING TO WORK TO SEE MY CELTIC COLLEAGUES THE DAY AFTER THE CUP SEMI

THE CUP FINAL DAY IS ONE LONG LIST OF MEMORIES:

- THE TOWN CENTRE FULL OF CLARET AND AMBER ON THE MORNING OF THE GAME.

- BUS AFTER BUS FULL OF WELL FANS HEADING FOR HAMPDEN

- HALF OF HAMPDEN A SEA OF CLARET AND AMBER.

TEARS WHEN JACKSON MADE IT 3 - 3

- ABSOLUTE ECSTASY WHEN FINAL WHISTLE SOUNDED

- OUR STREET PARTY AT NIGHT

- TOWN ONCE AGAIN FULL OF CLARET AND AMBER ON SUNDAY TO SEE THE OPEN TOPPED BUS.

OVERALL IT WAS A PERIOD I COULD RELIVE EVERY YEAR AND NOT

COMPLAIN. HOW ABOUT IT LADS!!!
