Your biggest derby games?

Not sure if this thread has been done before (i apologise if it has!) but tell us your BIGGEST DERBY GAMES!! (ie Stop Out vs Petone or Real Madrid vs Barcelona)...

Would have to be Rangers v Celtic for me.....

Mosgiel vs Green Island

Colchester versus Southend - no contest!

Liverpool v Everton. Particularly the 1989 F.A. cup final. A great day never to be forgotten. The only time i`ve ever had a tear in my eye at a football match. sanday2007-06-28 20:50:42

Port Vale v Stoke City

Second City Derby

Spurs vs Gunners

Partick Thistle v. Clyde Auckland Jag2007-06-29 07:28:03

milano v inter and lazio v roma

Germany vs England.

Miramar Rangers vs Olympic

Celery, Celery!

Arsenal vs Tottenham hotspurs

              and

Canterbury United vs Otago United

Wolves v Baggies

I second Tom's third one:

I reckon it would Celtic VS Rangers.

 

As much as I'd love to say Hearts v Hibs....

it is easily Boca v River Plate.

Goons v Yids

Stop Out Black versus Eastbourne in the Masters would take some beating!!!

I will say Hibs v Hearts - I was at Tynie on boxing day, right behind the goals so got a decent view of Craig Gordon going down like a ton of bricks after Dean Shiels 'sickenly assualted' (C. Jamboskeekback) him!. Although the result didn't go the hibees way - Tynie is a great place for atmosphere at a derby game - we may all sl*g it calling it the Pink Bus-shelter but with the stands being so close to the pitch and steeply raked - it's a brilliant place to go for atmosphere on a derby.

Regrets - 3.
1. My highschool years being bookended by the hibs wins either end of the Hearts 22-in-a-row, no Monday morning gloating after a derby for me for 6 years!!
2. Having to walk up to Captains Road for a New Year party from Easter Road after the 92 NYD derby - 5-1 to Hearts and the JT's scoring all the goals - Gary MacKay own goal.
3. Moving to Aus 4 months before the 6-2 game at Easter Road.

Some of those Eastbourne lads are...ummm... challenging... shall we say.

SUNDERLAND V NEWCASLTE

Hard News you are so right.  I have been involved in some tasty games in this fixture with mystery goals and angry clashes, and a level of sledging that makes the Aussie cricket team seem subdued.

Green Bay Titirangi United V  Blockhouse Bay FC

Forza Lynfield College !!  Actually, my brother was both a pupil of Lynfield College and played for Green Bay.  This was in the mid-late eighties mind.

Playing for Green Bay High, we had epic battles with Lynfeild. We were always evenly matched. We seemed to win at home more often than not. The football pitch at Green Bay was a resurfaced Dump, hence there was no drainage, in the winter the field was ankle deep mud from the kick off.

would have to be AC Milan vs Inter Milan at a packed San Siro

Lverpoo vs Everton... particularly in the late 80's

It would have to be Hutt Valley vs Mana in the old Caltex cup. They where the days.

In Brazil Derby = Classico!! And at the moment the biggest classico in Rio is Botafogo and Flamengo 65,000 people Awesome atmosphere, always seems to end in 2-2 draw!!!! So frustrating but good football

OI BUFFON AND HARDNEWS! SACRED HEART COLLEGE BEAT

That's so true. I was holidaying in Split last year when Dinamo was about to play Arsenal in CL qualifiers. I caught the train to Zagreb to go to the game, and got spotted by some Torcida guys wearing my Dinamo shirt on the way to the train station. Had to hide from them in the station's toilets and then madly scampered for the train just before it left. Bought another shirt in Zagreb to avoid the same problem on my way back....

Also, a mate of mine saw Galatasaray and Fenerbahce play in Istanbul a couple of years back and said that all other derbies he head seen (including the El Clasico and the Old Firm) were little girl's play in comparison to that.
