ianb1547 reacted to Roy Hobbs in If Tav scores tonight
I think he also becomes the highest ever scoring defender in the UK.

ianb1547 reacted to Blue Nosed Babe in Sheriff Lindsay Wood
If this is not the right part of the thread please move.
Sheriff Lindsay Wood, Glasgow Sheriff and well known Rangers fan has passed away. He was always in the Director's box at Ibrox and like many Bears, he followed the team everywhere.
He was also instrumental in setting up the Drugs Court which helps addicts get clean and get there life back. He probably saved a few lives by doing that as he treated addicts as people who needed help and needed someone in authority to actually believe in them instead of putting them down as just another junkie. When an addict died, he had silences for them, such was the measure of his compassion. Woe betide an accused if they abused his rules though as he would come down on them like a ton of bricks.
He also made sure lawyers were kept in line too. I had a good few run ins with him when I was on both sides of the table but once you stripped away the bad mood, you learned that he was just trying to help you.
His Chambers in the Court were a Shrine to Rangers and were dubbed Little Ibrox due to the artwork he had on his walls. He was always up for some football chat once the business was done.
He only retired last May and there was a huge party for him, and he kept everyone well supplied with alcohol. That was the last time I saw him and we had a laugh over things I had done as a Junior Lawyer before he told me to watch out for his brother.
I will miss him
RIP

Never a big fan of hype horses like Brighterdaysahead. Elliotts stable form at the minute is also shite.
I'll be on Jade De Grugy.

ianb1547 got a reaction from Redmond7 in Strict liability
Bottom line is that every club knows there are some fans they cannot control. No way is anyone voting for strict liability. IMO this is a non-event because if you take it to the logical conclusion it would lead to closed sections of grounds, behind closed doors and points reductions.

He doesn't believe in ew......but as I run his account, I usually do ew on his 5-folds (unknown to him) and yes, 365 were paying 5 places so another pay day for him.

What I posted last Thursday on General Betting
My 'pin on the page' has thrown up Ballyburn, Theleme, Dysart Enos, Lossiemouth, Shishkin, Chianti Classico. Bottom line, I don't really have a clue how the festival will go.
Lossiemouth and Chianti delivered.

coming from the moral crusaders who attack players, launch glass and sharp objects, sing about the queens passing, and graffiti our stadium with ‘66’.
Scottish football is full of absolute screwballs.
