Pars Opponents Meet in CL Tonight

[GG Riva]

The game that caught my eye kicks off at 5.45 tonieght. 

Slovan Bratislava v Dinamo Zagreb

Pars fans of a certain vintage will know we narrowly lost out to both these sides in the late 60s. I think we were the first Scottish side to go out of Europe on away goals v Dinamo. The first leg at EEP was a cracking game. We came back from 1-2 to win 4-2 but lost 2-0 in Zagreb. Dinamo went on to lift the Fairs Cup (forerunner of UEFA Cup and Europa League) beating Don Revie`s outstanding Leeds team in the final.

Slovan nicked a last-minute equaliser at EEP when the Pars were going gung ho for a second goal.in the 68/69 ECWC semi-final first leg. In Bratislava, the Slovaks edged through with a single goal, going through to the final on a 2-1 aggregate. They went on to lift the trophy, beating Barcelona 3-2.

Ti think I`ll watch this game for old time`s sake. Nostalgia ain`t what it used to be.
