  1. There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

    We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

    But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.

    Donald Rumsfeld Loyal 10310.gif

    Donald seems to care more about fonts than anything else.

  2. he wanted out at all costs. Rangers could have bunkrupt him. The recession seen his wealth drop from around 800m down to 100m. At one point Rangers had 80m debt, which he reduced. When HMRC serbed him with a bill for 40m + fees and he still had 18m outstanding to lloyds he had to get out and get out fast.

    Where are the figures from?

  3. If Forrest had played in Nuremburg I think we would've beat Bayern. Alex Smith was a good player who scored a lot of goals that season but Forrests speed would've troubled Beckenbauer a lot more than big Roger did.

    Fuck me. Forrest's cousin Alex Willoughby scored 16 goals in 14 games leading up to the final in Nuremberg.

    Why he wasn't even playing is also a mystery.

    Mind numbing to put Roger Hynd in.

  4. Colonel he is a legend in Berwick and was still a fantastic player when playing down in here. Berwick also won the title again in 2007 when John Coughlin was their manager.

    Great to know he's remembered with intensity. I forgot about their recent title.

    Berwick Rangers should worship the ground Big Jock and Davie Smith walked on, along with the legend of Sammy Reid for setting off a nuclear explosion.

    I love it when wee clubs love Rangers legends for some reason or another.

  5. He was gambling mad when he was at Berwick and liked a visit to Powderhall Dogs.

    Was the championship he led Berwick to their only honour (apart from the biggest shock in Scottish football history, of course :anguish: )?

    He must be held in high regard down there, surely?

  6. From what I have been told up here , he was a taxi driver and used to sleep in his taxi, think he has a pub in Montrose now. But all in all what a player. Just alone for that ball for Colin to score the opener against Moscow.

    Beautiful.

    Every time I think of Davie Smith playing though, it's a vision of him strolling through a game not even getting his shorts dirty...positioning himself and lurking for a wee slight loss of control from a forward, then nipping the ball away before striding forward himself, with the kind of elegance you seen from the Baxters and the Beckenbauers.

    I could greet thinking about the elegance of it all.

  7. Davie used to go into a bookies in Carwadric and bet and bet.

    Aye, I remember the talk at the time, and that Rangers were taking a dim view of some problems that were coming to light.

    Probably mostly gossip, but I know he ended up in bad shape with it.

    Shame.

  8. Aah!

    I saw him come on as sub in a league cup sectional game at Ibrox in Aug 73 (my 1st scum game) - don't think he featured much after that?

    Big Jaws' more robust approach seemed to get preferred to the silky sweeper skills of Smith, and the likes of Doddy had come into his own on the left side of midfield.

    Davie was coming to the end of his career anyway, as most were were at that time once they got to around the 32 mark.

    There was also talk of Davie having a bit of a gambling problem, but I can't remember if that was a factor.

  9. uk.gifcunny funt.....was just a young boy . Remember got home just before Christmas and still got my present when leaving hospital at Christmas. Airfix Wellington Bomber kit.

    I think I got the Airfix HMS Hood that year. I threw the fucking thing in the bin when Fuckyer Harry signed for them. :D

    What were you in hospital for six weeks for? Were you a sickly child? :D

  10. did we not play Borussa Moenchengladbach(sp) that year with Bertie Vogts as their captain

    Yes. The following season they beat us 3-0, and we won 3-2 at Ibrox.

    As well as Vogts, they had superstars like Bonhof, Heynkes, and Wimmer in the team.

    Interesting that we pumped Munchengladbach 8-0 and 3-0 on the way to our first European final only a dozen years previously.

  11. Well there you go :rolleyes:

    I mean there are the obvious ones like galloway and brazil but you've also got the ROI favourites houghton, townsend and cascarino and danny kelly who by his own admission was responsible for an act of vandalism at Ibrox many new years ago.

    Add to that the only chat hosts left, berry and grahan, both going to RC schools (the latter attending to septic park when he lived up here) it really doesn't say much for a radio station in a predominantly Protestant country

    The same Danny Kelly, who just last week waxed lyrical about the romance and stoicism of the Basque signing policy at Bilbao, after their victory over Man Utd. His jizz flow was only interrupted to opine that it would be fantastic if other clubs could do as well with similar policies.

    His views on Rangers playing Proddies isn't quite so charitable.

  12. We should have refused to play this ridiculous competition unless they let us defend the Cup Winners Cup.

    I think we should protest this injustice by wearing black & red scarves.

    We protested at the time by wearing red and white socks.
