Where do the years go? I remember that run like it was only a couple of years ago. What great memories, Barry Nic`s goal, big Skerla`s header at Hampden. Really hoping to get along to the event.

Jeez. I`m not one to pee on someone`s cornflakes but I find celebrating the 20th anniversary of a final we lost really cringy.

That was a cool enough shirt but can`t think why anyone would want a commemorative shirt for this. Fair enough having events and shirt celebrating title wins and cup wins but celebrating losing a cup final? Nah

Still, that said, hope this makes a bit cash for the club and those going enjoy themselves

1 nil up and the atmosphere at half time I have never been able to recreate.
Tough choice for me between this game or the meadowbank game as to my best pars game to be at ( I wasn`t at Tannadice).

I thought this was about celebrating the journey to the final rather than just the final itself.

Maybe I misunderstood the title given to the event!

I`m not going but why do some of our supporters have such a dislike of our club and anything it tries to do?

It`s quite sad.

Is this a forum to provide discussion and opinions or a place where nobody can bring a negative viewpoint to a topic because it’s not the narrative?

I agree with both sides - whilst the run and final were great (my first full year of being a supporter so couldn’t ask for better), and the event may raise some funds, it does seem a bit strange to hold a big event for what was ultimately a failure - and the pretence for the club nearly going bust……..will we also be holding a 10 year anniversary in 2026 for the league winning team of 2016?

Was that European qualification when we took all the beach balls and inflatables to Falkirk to celebrate getting in?

Now that was a better experience for me than than being so far away from the pitch at Hampden being the goals that I couldn’t really see anything

Are you thinking of St Mirren away after the Hibs semi replay in 2007? I mind we took them to that game on the Monday night and 80% ended up on the park pre kick off then we won 😂

It was a great afternoon out - until Labonte fell on his erse, these things happen in football.

My most abiding memory of that cup run was the great double act goal that Crawford and Brewster produced at Firhill in the quarter final for 3-0.

From 2:55.

Was that really 20 years past ?

It was brilliant. Lots of laughs and the double act of Gary Dempsey and Ritchie Byrne was so funny. I could have listened to them all night 😂

Great to catch up with the favourites - no surprise who it was for me - and the video message from Andrius was the icing on the cake.

Posted this on Facebook but sharing here too. It was a good night and brilliant to see/ hear them all. Watching the clips brought back some amazing memories of a fantastic time as Pars fan -we didnt know we had it so good and just enjoyed the ride at the time (pointedly ignoring the fact we couldn`t afford it) . You could see the bonding in the team. Well done for pulling it together and the cherry on the cake was the video message from Andrius Skerla and the memorial video for Margaret, lovely touch.

Great night last night. Shame it was a small turn out for what was a great event. Hopefully the PST can have more of these events in the future. Although it was said in jest I`d love a 10 year reunion of the 2016 league winning side.

Was very disappointed in the turn out, maybe people were choosing between last nights event and today’s game though. Was brilliant to see the footage again, all the stuff on YouTube is so grainy/blurry you can barely make out the ball! If anyone knows where to find the clear highlights of these games I’d like to see them again.

It was Craig brown who put it all together apparently so he might have a copy of the clearer footage.
