  1. No, quite the contrary. He was imperious on the way to our Barcelona glory, and I'm sure won the Scottish Player of the Year after it.
  2. Half of that Ajax team played in the World Cup final in 1974, against a West Germany side which was stock full of players from the Bayern Munich side we pumped on the way to Barcelona. Ajax were in the midst of winning 3 European Cups, and Bayern were to follow them by doing the same 3 ECs in a row. Throw in the aforementioned World Cup final, and Rangers were competing with and beating the players who were at the very pinnacle of World football at the time. That's what you call legends.
  3. If the administrators decide to rip up the contract, why would they not go after a refund from the person who gave them personal security on the deal? To a completely untrained legal eye, that would appear an easier course of action than spending fortunes trying to prove that they were entitled to something from RFC.
  4. I'd forgotten that Davie Smith also led Berwick Rangers to the 2nd Division title as player manager.
  5. I'd imagine that the absence of 20 odd million from the creditors' pot would improve returns for creditors? IS this the kind of "substantial evidence" required, or does this refer to something else?
  6. Colour telly hadn't been long on the go at that time. The ECWC victory the previous year was in black and white. Some countries were more advanced in that respect than others. The first Scottish colour game I think I remember was the tarriers getting gubbed 4-1 in the 1971 league cup final by Thistle, and I think that was also one of the first times STV had used slow motion replays up here as well (the English telly football was a wee bit more ahead of the times).
  7. I remember that. It didn't last long, so could have been the "centenery year" as you say.
  8. It was a sarcastic comment aimed at the know alls who know fuck all. It wasn't aimed at yourself.
  9. Why? It was just said he would be consulting his legal team.
  10. I'll wait until they have consulted with the RM Philadelphia lawyers before I slap any backs.
  11. Strange how the financial and legal experts on here haven't been quite so optimistic about what today's ruling meant, as the administrators are.
  12. Chris McLaughlin ‏ @BBCchrismclaug #Rangers administrators believe today's news from court states they have final say on whether the Ticketus deal is honoured. Is this the door open for D and P to say to Ticketus that if they want their money, go and get it from the man who personally guaranteed the ticket?
  13. The fans got ripped off again. The price of a programme was doubled to 10 pence.
  14. Davie Smith wouldn't have looked out of place in that total football Ajax team.
  15. Wee Doddy scored in both games, an equaliser to make it 1-1 in the home game, and he gave us a 1-0 lead after 3 minutes in the away game...Cutty Young gave us the lead again after Ajax equalised in that game, before we went down 3-2. Cruyff played in both games, and scored in both. Other memorable players were Johnny Rep, who beat Alan Rough from about 35 yards in a WC game, Johann Neeskens, and Arnold Muehren who caused a sensation by going to Ipswich with Frans Thijsen.
  16. We're soon going to have an all woofter signing policy to go with our fanbase.
  17. Man City won the FA cup in that strip in 1969.
  18. This used to be the top that our reserve side played in.
