Indeed, was an enjoyable game in the first half, 2nd half we looked a bit workman like, Mccausland didn't really get the space he had first half.  Not a great place to go, once the 2nd went in I would've taken the FT whistle there and then.

Your dead right. Doug Baillie followed Paterson, and for a short while was the regular centre half. Ronnie MacKinnon came through from the reserves and quickly took over from Bailie. I started going to matches at that time (while still at school - Govan High) and particularly followed Ronnie as he was a local Govan lad. As I recall he played for Benburb, before signing for us. I'm guessing he wasn't in the reserves for very long, but it's a while back (1962/1963-ish), and the old memory bank isn't as good these days

Bit shite that someone has leaked that tbh instead of just letting the club announce it
I mean, we all knew it was basically done as it was reported earlier in the week, so let the club have their announcement
(not aimed at OP)

That’s more of a reflection on us 
Still not exactly a competitive league. 

I fully expect that as more people do this, some killjoy will come along and close it down.
 

. 

Absolutely did.  Not looking too clever a signing Matondo.

Yea, just seeing folk saying we need a 3 goal victory. Right now I'd take a 2 nil win in 90 mins. A goal each half is well within our capabilities.

Andy Halliday is Bobby maddens best mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😀🤣
Ryan kent is a cheat.  These cunts are fucking mental man.
They are poor wee downtrodden catholic’s, 140 years of oppression and conspiracy against them, yet they’ve managed to win 100+ trophies, 50 league titles, record Scottish cup holders, a European cup and 9 in a row twice.  Imagine what they would have won if the world wasn’t a big Masonic Protestant conspiracy against them? 🤣🤣🤣
actually thinking of phoning up the night to talk about their paranoia. 🤣🤣

I don't think anyone is saying that. Just that he was better pre injury than some of the other options we have for the position now.
He deserves a chance to prove he could be that good or better again and time is on his side unlike Balogan who is only going to get worse.

Looks like they have spent a few bob this pre-season, I hardly recognise any of their players names.

With all Sky etc following us on our travels.
I remember some foreign channel talking to my daughter and friends at Ibrox the first year .
They we’re doing a story on our journey 😂
nobody was bothering about the dark side 😂😂😂

Having a cunt of a time big McBurnie

Ignore is my advice.......so predictable from that lot. 
Rangers are a different animal under gerrard.
Hang fire until we lift the title....then fucking scud it into every single last one of them. So proud of us as a support during some horrendous times....Oh it's going to get really messy in scottish football very soon😉👌

I remember reading a coaching book from the '50s (decade I was born in) that referred to the 'classic WM' formation.
I read this over 50 years ago, so can't recall the exact wording , but it went along the following lines;
the W would give you 3 (defenders as in the opening post) then 2 (halfbacks?)
the M would give 2 (inside forwards?) then 3 (2 wingers and the centre forward).  
Happy to add to the general confusion on tactics from 60- 70 years ago..... 
 

He was Master of the Universe in my opinion......

Think I first became aware of 'overlapping fullbacks' in the mid-60s but the midfield was still pretty much long ball, or at least get it straight down the park -  none of this retain possession in midfield and recycling from one side to the other.

Didn't know about the Old Firm record, but I saw enough of Slim Jim in the early sixties to be absolutely convinced he was the best footballer to wear our jersey. He was simply up there at the top of the pile back in the day. Difficult for an old codger to compare the best then with the so-called superstars of today, but I'm convinced he would be up there. It's all about personal opinions of course. 
And he had that gallous swagger as well, just glorious.,...
