Just in fae the Penman where players and fans were going ballistic. Pat Liney was going about as if he'd won the Pools, Rab Douglas, Gary Irvine, all walking on air, then I had a chat with Nicky Riley. Told him for such a wee guy he's a heart of a lion. He's truly a great kid to talk to and said he's Dee 4 Life now.
Wullie Riley apparently went up to talk to Rab Douglas who greeted him with "now I get another chance to meet a true legend." You couldn't make it up.
Harry McLean, fists waving in the Penman, looked like he'd a wee bit less than me to drink but no much, he was off to have a pint with Sir Barry Smith. Never seen Harry so happy at a result, though.
Has a winning goal ever taken so long to enter the net? Was it just me or did Neil's brilliant chip take as long? Was it suspended animation? I saw it hit the corner of the net, I saw big Rab leap to salute the fans, but it took me 15 seconds before I realised we'd scored. I just stared into space like a daftie.
Then it was pandemonium. I defy anyone to say any different. I cuddled anyone and everyone within my space. See our stewards, some of them might be unpopular but they're Dees and I cuddled one, a man I might add. Then a woman behind me cuddled me and then others did the same. It was amazing.
Then, the defiant scarf birling began. Boy, I'm pissed now, but can any Dee honestly say that didn't bring a tear to the eye. It had to if you were a Dee, one of the most moving things I've seen for a long time. Amazing, I looked to the Derry, every scarf being birled, then the main stand, the same, then I looked behind me and the Coxy, MY PEOPLE, were doing the same. It was a magical moment.
Today's a day kids will tell their grandkids about. And they'll no believe it.
