Was great seeing Lovenkrands speed away down the left, as he would say out of position, but he still looked good. I think I spent most of the match waiting for Mols to come on, then get excited when he got the ball hoping he'd score. Wasn't meant to be though. Get where you're coming from mate but I just think it's magic to see all our old heroes share the field of play once more....... especially against such attractive opposition. I loved it tbh.

ready1873 3,867 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I love these games. For example yesterday seeing Hutton, Cuellar and Papac in the back four and reminding my wee brother, who was 4 when I started taking him (and was the UEFA cup final season), that these were the men during that great spell. Great seeing older bears like Rae, Steven, Andrews, Mols etc I remember myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready1873 3,867 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 And BTW scary thinking how long ago it was that Papac, Cuellar, Hutton and Co were mainstays at Ibrox. I'm getting auld.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Enclosure Row N 2,820 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 To be honest, was so bored I could have nodded off. When it's not a competitive game, there's no hunger, no edge for me. Possibly not helped by how well the first team is playing now? Every point, every goal and possibly even every booking might prove to be crucial this year. Don't want to miss a match. Going from that to a charity kickabout with 20 stone Boyd hitting a penalty wide, naaah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i hate seeing the players age (and myself & family too!) That said one of the best players was one of the oldest in Alex Rae. It does bring back some good memories though. I think all these guys won leagues and cups with us. Makes me wonder if in 20 years time will we be watching a 42 Morelos and a 47 Tav.......hope so, ha ha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last charity match I went to at Ibrox I ended up leaving at half time because it was like watching paint dry. Granted yesterday's game was of a better standard but it's still a flat, meaningless game with no atmosphere and the novelty of seeing all the old heroes in action only gets you so far. I'd still happily watch one every international break though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,701 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I thought the Man UTD one was alright, by legends match standards. They are better than the charity ones with celebs yet I always find myself enjoying those ones a bit more whenever ive seen them on tv.

Let’s be honest, Gerrard is a Liverpool man, playing for Liverpool at any level even if it’s just a charity game with a bunch of old cunts means far more to him than playing for Rangers, or even managing Rangers and I’m ok with that because I’d be the same if I was in that situation with Rangers. So he didn’t have to wear the Rangers jersey but he did because he knew it would a. Make a lot of our supporters happy and b. Make more come and see it so more money for charity. So fair play to him for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah shame some are negative towards him, and him wearing our jersey yesterday (critical of pictures in social media etc) when as you say he was doing it for us/ our charity.
