    Happy with home end but if theres possibility of away end then even better. 

    Me and the wife will definitely be doing Porto, we’re in the travel club but are only on a couple of points, but I honestly can’t see it being to difficult to get in mate.

    Will be mate..home end loyal worst case 

    Definitely mate. Can’t remember that much about it from last visit, I was mangled for 3 days solid, but went without a ticket and got in. Remember Lisbon in 2010, again flew from Gatwick without a ticket, sure Rangers we’re selling them at €25 and I walked up to the stadium on match day and bought one direct from there for our end for €15 😂

    Hard to believe we’ve went from....

    Yep, sliding doors and all that.

    whilst we’re at it we should also place on record our sincere thank to McInnes for lacking a backbone.

     Its been said plenty of times on here, but whoever thought ‘let’s try and get Gerrard’ deserves a massive pat on the back.

    Not one single Rangers fan would have thought of that appointment prior to it happening.

    Even if he doesn’t win anything (which I reckon is highly unlikely) he was brought Rangers back to life. 

    I actually dread to think the fucking state we’d be in right now had the bottler been in charge. 

    Request for footage from 1969-1970 season

    I couldn't find any footage, sorry, but I found this article which may add context for your project.

    Hibee History: Rangers 1-3 Hibs, October 11 1969

    Hibs manager Willie Macfarlane talked his team into a supremely confident mood before the game at Ibrox and his talented players proved him right by outplaying Rangers in front of 54,000 witnesses who could testify as to why Hibs were ahead in the title race at that time.
    And the Hibs boss said afterwards: "I kept hammering home to them that we had the better team and our display confirmed it.

    "It was clear, too, that Rangers were worried about us when they introduced a new boy at left-back. Our number changes were designed to throw them off balance.

    "We had no set plan to use Peter Marinello through the middle where he scored his goals. It just happened that in the constant switching, he was in the centre at the right times."

    Hibs collected a cheque for more than 6,000 and the success story at the time - seven wins on the trot - meant that the Easter Road players ranked among the most highly paid in the country.

    That ought to have been incentive enough for them to stay in the driving seat. They' had won at celtic Park, Tynecastle and Ibrox in their last three away games. And very few sides would manage six points from those fixtures.

    The "old" Hibs might have been ruffled by the loss of an unlucky goal five minutes before half-time when John Blackley was penalised wrongly for a perfect tackle on Willie Johnston, who dived and won a foul that produced his own goal.

    But Marinello, who had scored in 16 minutes from a Hamilton pass, added No.?2 just three minutes after the equaliser and Joe McBride grabbed an opportunist goal in 71 minutes.

    It was a triumph for teamwork, running power and skill against a ragged Rangers outfit. They could not match the composure of their rivals and Jim Baxter, while he seldom made a bad pass, slowed the game so much that it was stop-go football throughout from Rangers. Willie Henderson threatened to create trouble on the right, but sound covering snuffed him out and Johnston was the forward most likely to trouble Hibs. However, right-back Chris Shevlane played exceptionally well to subdue the sharp Fifer.

    On reflection, the Easter Road defence never allowed Rangers to create a clear-cut chance and Gordon Marshall had no difficult saves.

    Hibs' interchanging style forced Rangers to leave gaps and the margin might have been more substantial but for the resourceful covering of John Greig. Even he deserted his post at times in a bid to infuse some drive into the home attack.

    Three players were booked - Pat Stanton (Hibs), Baxter and Johnston (Rangers), and the Ibrox wing-half might have been lucky to escape with a booking since Hamilton received a kick on the head when they clashed.

    Stanton, incidentally was not fined by Hibs. That rule applied only in the case of retaliation or talking out of turn. 

    Great effort mate

    Hi guys, just a quick message to say that I won't be uploading any videos for the foreseeable future.

    I have always kept my private life, and that of my familys, exactly that - private.
    What I will say though, is that my wife hasn't been keeping great, that's why I've not made many videos this last couple of months or so.
    There has been some games recently I haven't even seen, let alone make a video of.
    And unfortunately the news we got this week wasn't what we were wanting, so this is just going to intensify.

    So all my time, effort and energy will be going towards caring for her for now.

    I know some of you like these videos, and are grateful for them, but I hope yous understand.  Who knows, I might post one out of the blue, but they'll be rare for the foreseeable.

    Cheers
    Scott

    Really sorry to hear that mate, hope your wife is on the mend soon and better news isn’t far away 

    Warsaw Roll Call

    There's cunts on FF acting like we are heading into a Mexican drug cartels lair ffs.

    Aye Warsaw might be mad but we've been to Greece, turkey, feyenoord, Ajax etc. All supports with a reputation. Rangers fans generally go get wrecked and have a laugh. If trouble comes looking then we tend to just go with it, win some lose some. 

    But honestly I've never seen so much shite written about an away European tie :lol:

    if legia want trouble with Rangers fans then they'll get it, if they don't then our boys will have a great day and night and thats it. 

    id imagine people are getting themselves worked up because legia are a passionate support and create a lot of noise and colour. Aye they'll try be intimidating but so will we in our own way next week.

    dont know what's happened to some of the Rangers support these days. 

    Spot on mate, absolutely gutted I’m no there, this would have been a great trip.

    My wife of nearly thirty years doesn’t care much for football.  

    She’s had to put up with three of us in this marriage for all that time 

    😋

    Sounds like a good woman then my friend. I’m lucky, my dad died in Glasgow when I was only 2 but my mum and my grandad made sure I had the right upbringing. Even the 30 years I spent in England my mum never let her season ticket lapse.

    Remember our fathers brave and bold?  Followed the 'Gers because my dad did as his dad (my grandad) did.  Even though I'm in my 70's and overseas for many decades, I still follow the 'Gers and have been back to see them a good few times.  And I enjoy so much more since becoming clean and sober.  Met a few bears working the 12 steps over here too and that's a good thing.

    In terms of passing it on to my children, they know who to cheer for even if it doesn't mean so much to them.  It's a little harder when you're so far away.

    Where are you ? I’ve been lucky to have traveled most parts of the globe I’ve ever wanted to go to and there is usually a bear or two somewhere about ha ha
