To call me a thug and an idiot for making an off the cuff remark shows your intelligence and hypocrisy with that comment you've just made. Peace out bro xxxxxx Think before you call folk cunts. as It tends to result in yourself in turn being called an ignorant wee thug type idiot or similar. And i doubt very much if "Cunt" is a term of affection in this so called "West", whatever that is. However goodwill and peace to all fellow gers fans and bros too.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 A hundred thousand apologies to the bears on the list - I understand now that the title of my thread was unfortunate and may have caused some anxiety (depression/panic) among the bears. I did not mean to cause this and take full responsibility. In future, I will be more careful with my postings. Some years ago, I met Colin Stein at a NARSA convention. We had a nice chat - was surprised to see him smoking a pipe. Revor Plug and Condor Bar Loyal (in the 'couve) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title was sincere, just a wee bit misleading for some, and you can edit it if you have to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Quite easy for thread titles to be misinterpreted. Think I'll start a few more: "Willie Johnston's Dribbling." No. he's not that old. Just respect for his wing mastery. "Tom Forsyth's Legendary Tackle" The one on Mike Channon, not a comparison to Jig's alleged girth. "Left Footers At Ibrox" All about the likes of Baxter, Cooper etc, nowt to do with Kafflicks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooblue 1,959 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 14 hours ago, Ibroxholm said: Remember that game so well, was almost in tears when Stein got sent off. To compound the matter, SFA threw the book at him and suspended him for the rest of the season. That decision effectively finished our league challenge and was a big factor in us losing out in the SC final and Fairs Cup semi final that season. Yes, it was either Robert Kelly or Desmond White who was on the 'impartial' SFA panel. No vested interest at all in the outcome. Another tainted title and cup win for the 'never defeated, always cheated' brigade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 33,940 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 My hero growing up with posters , usually from the Evening Citizen iirc , all over the wall . Still find it hard to believe he was only here for four years the first time , as it seemed he was a Ranger all my youth . Remember how gutted I was when I found out that him and Wee Bud had left . Really didn't expect that , particularly being only 3 or 4 months from scoring the goals that got us the ECWC . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniescu 2,949 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Think he travelled through from Edinburgh every day for training, etc. Anyway, saw him at the station one day reading a Beano. Great player, bad topic title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,524 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Always good to hear the loyal old Bears reminiscing about this kind of stuff. Never anything but fascinating to listen to. I can just see you all in my mind's eye... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
