Popular Post Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2018 A wee snippet from an interview he's done with Carlisle where he speaks about us, his old firm goal, breaking records and our amazing fans.

Popular Post Essandoh 21,103 Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2018 I’d recommend a trip down to Carlisle to anyone thinking about it. The football is terrible but Brunton Park is a classic wee traditional English ground and the terracing is a nice throwback. Plenty of pubs and places for food in and around the town centre too. Had the privilege of bumping into Clint and he spoke to us for a good 10 minutes with absolutely no rush about him. At the time, he was throwing all sorts of questions at us about Alves so I reckon he thinks he could still be doing a job in our defence! One thing that sticks is he couldn’t stress how much the players respect Graeme Murty. centenarystand, 1690tamRFC, Laudrup1984 and 24 others 27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great city. Essandoh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TMB 14,167 Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2018 It's just a shame he wasn't given another year. You could make a case it was because of his age but he was replaced with a 36 year old. We've now ended up with Russell Martin on loan and Wilson's fucked off. Tell him to get his training gear out and head back up North. MoOnMAn69R, richles1872, only14me and 3 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went down to see them play he was head and shoulders above every other player on the park. No doubt in my mind that he could still be doing a job in the Championship.

Offered us a real threat in the air too. With the delivery of set-piece we now have he could've been a big asset up the other end of the pitch.

Alves could beat a Boeing 747 to a ball in the air anywhere else on the pitch but when it comes to set pieces he’s virtually non-existent in the box. richles1872 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 8,820 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Clint is a top guy. For me in years to come he will hold that Rangers cult status like Roberts, Hurlock and laterly big Ugo. I like the Carlisle connection. The club colours fit perfectly aswell. But if you read their history, their real Scottish connection is with Ayrshire Junior football which was their hunting ground for talent, and where they unearthed some real gems, even before the days of Bill Shankly, however that connection was strengthened by the great man.

Perth_Campsie_Ger 17,865 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Remember the outrage when we signed the old boy, left the club with a place in our hearts proving the doubters wrong. I'd of liked him to of stayed another year but glad he never because he left us with fond memories rather than being a whipping boy like miller ForeverAndEver and MoOnMAn69R 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltire266 502 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Love the big lad ! Showed what's needed to wear our shirt ! Another who never makes a bad comment or takes a potshot at us unlike that wee dick that was a captain for us. Clint was a bright light in a dark season the same as Vuckic was . Two best players for their seasons , never legends but welcome back anytime. Johnny Dangerously and surfsup2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good buzz about the place. The Bee Hive isn't it. It's a good pub and very handy. I think there's a train back to Glasgow around 540pm, but last train is about 9pm, so it gives plenty scope for a 4 hour session after the game, then a carry out for the train to Central. Arrive back in Glasgow about ten thirty. Still time for a good few beers in the town. Essandoh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
