mclovin9091 1,388 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Watched the uefa cup final in the Falklands, even managed to get the guys the afternoon off to have a few bevvys with me. Must have been about 10/11 sitting in a tree in a beer garden watching a late kick off St Johnstone game. Been sat in a JCB on exercise watching a couple of games.

Think it was the one were we lost 1-0 at Ibrox courtesy of a flukey phil Neville goal? Â I missed the second leg as we had travelled on to the island of Phuket and for whatever reason I didn't get to watch it. Â Phuket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the most freaky surreal game watching Rangers in my entire life. Ran for my life with my Rangers scarf hanging out of my jacket pocket after I told the tarriers outside the ground that Joe Miller missed a penalty with 5 minutes to go. Weirdly, all I could think of was the Billy Connolly gag about shitting in the shoes It didn't hold anything like that. About 60,000 (if they actually count as 1 each) could fit in the old version of Parkheid until the Taylor report and it dropped to about 33,000 and I think below that right before it was renovated. Of course, that coup was usually about a third full anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oso 122 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Us vs Them, the match when the Hugh Dallas got coined at the Piggery and the soap dodger took a header from the upper deck.  Officers Mess, Gornji Vakuf in Bosnia attached to an English Infantry Regiment.

I remember the report of the game and they gave the crowd at around 80,000, but to be honest being stuck right in the middle of the scum, counting the cunts was the last thing on my mind at that time. I have been at the piggery many times but being in beside the filth support was taking supporting Rangers to a new level of committment It was my first game back in Scotland after 23 years away and for me to even get a ticket to watch Rangers after 3 days back in the country was brilliant. I've still got that programme but it's a shame it has the picture of that big donkey Roy Aitken on the front page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a relatively quiet spot , where there were just groups of 2 or 3 around me. When they scored , I was quite surprised with the lack of excitement about me and it seemed there were a few ' good ' guys around  . As the game went on, the odd Rangers scarf came out , soon to be huckled out by the polis. Two nil down at HT , Ally scored , and no one could contain themselves any longer . Polis then came down and escorted , probably 50 - 100 Rangers fans out the ground . Headed to the Keystane to get the final score where a certain John Brown was having a wee session . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshiregers 10 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Streaming the start of the Old Firm last year on a Chair Lift in the French Alps. Forgot about the time difference. Managed to ski down to a Danish bar in Val'Disere for the second half. What a dismal game.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxterboy 476 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have watched streams of our games in central american jungles. However, the most bizzarre place i ever watched a game was Ibrox. While in the Bahamas my best mate was the son of a celtic director. I couldn't get a ticket for an old firm game so called him up. He told me he had a ticket for me in the directors box with the celtic delegation on condition i wouldn't embarrass him by cheering on the Gers while in that group. I gave him my word on it, and kept it - 90 minutes of absolute fuckin torture!    Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
