KeyserSoze 14,520 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 My uncle used to sing to the bus his fav two solo songs"There's a wee spot in Europe" And"If I had one son I would have another ten" I used to wonder what that had to do with Rangers:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKai 439 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Cans were real cans in them days.Remember standing on two to watch us hammer the sheep 6-0 at Porkheid in a cup semi in the late sixties.That would be the 69 Cup semi Final. Was in the Jungle ! Was it not 6-1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I remember that game and was at it. It was against Motherwell and it was 0-0 at half time and Rangers got booed off the park. When everyone heard Celtic were loosing 4-0 to Partick, the Gers were cheered back on to the park when the came out after the break Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim1690 4,534 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Used to love the smell of the subway walking down to the platform, then the sash bash on the way to Ibrox with the odd wee wumin tut tutting, and some of the night games when the fog came down and you couldn't see the far away goals, fuck me that was real fog back in them days.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 That would be the 69 Cup semi Final. Was in the Jungle ! Was it not 6-1?Was at that game with my dad, surprised no one got killed with all the shoving at the turnstiles trying to get into the ground. IIRC Wee Bud scored three that day, one was a cracker right into the top corner in front of the Rangers end. Have searched in vain for that game on youube.

centenarystand 2,227 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In the seventies cup finals or old firm games that were near full houses at Hampden, Ibrox or the Piggery. Queuing up to get in you could hear the singing from outside and as you got up the stairs you were swept in with the crush and as you could just see the pitch the volume rose to unbelievable levels and the whole packed terracing end bouncing up and down would burst into HALLO, HALLO.Going to the football seemed magical in those days.

Tom0411 1,226 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Great memories especially having to ask someone who had bought a programme to find out the half time scores. The other thing was that you used to always stand around the same area each game and got to know the guys around you.Also if you went underneath the old Derry for a pee the piss used to be dropping down from the terracing above you so you never wore good clothes to a match back then especially at Hampden after they put the cover on our end. When we scored it would take about 5 minutes for the black dust to settle usually up our noses and on our shoulders and in our hair.Hey maybe that was the start of smoke bombs at matches.
