The Real Madrid Supporters’ Club of Charlie’s Restaurant. 🤣😂🤣😂
At the time i just remember it being the Real Madrid Supporters’ Club of Charlie’s Bar and that resonated with me as i had many crazy away days on buses fae the Charlie Bar & later one of the best ever celebration nights with Golac visiting the pub function suite for the 10 year anniversary of pumping Oldco to win the Scottish Cup and lay to rest the bastard hoodoo.
Anyone else on here make that night?

Cheers for that Bowers, wasn't aware they appreciated the Shed style and sportmanship until I read this 20 years doon the line bud...
The match was noteworthy for the behaviour of the United fans, with the Principat coach noting that ‘United fans cheered us on to the park and at the end were throwing us their scarves. I have never seen anything like it’.

Stuff like that just shows what the character of the support and grounded attitude of Arabs is for fitba, quite unique.
I remember thinking when we were scoring 4 or 5 a lot when Gauld was on fire, GMS lighting the place up etc and we were pumping the dees regularly on their return that some younger Arabs needed to hit despair and some pain to appreciate how many of us grew to appreciate the good after witnessing a load of pain. Some were dissapointed with just winning 2-0.
Celebrations at derby goals were less than the old norm.
Didn't think the reality check i thought was needed would go as far as it went but might help bring back on track the grounded character of the working class, well humoured and humanistically proud area around us. We are unique in a few ways and this story is a good reminder of that.
Next victory over oor closest rivals will be celebrated better than recent victories and we should remind ourselves never to expect like England or the old old firm or weegie old & new bum cheeks.
Keep it fkn real and carry on being United!

Is that the game McLaren scored about 4? Remember trying to find footage of it at the time.

Winters scored 4 I'm sure and McSwegan got a hat trick in both legs.
