  1. As long as it not Benedicto Eggsovereasio
  2. God that was as quick a turn as I have seen him do on the pitch.
  3. One European game at Ibrox at £20 average seat price & not including add ons would bring in £1million. So there is some money around and remember that this is a bonus. OK we have the expense of the away game but that will be nowhere near the home gate.
  4. Over the season I have sent in 4 texts re the blatant disregard of Scott Brown's use of his elbows and not one has been published. Who says there is no censorship in the Scottish media.
  5. When big Jock won his second treble my Dad was the president of the wee Gers club and after the game my Dad, Mum, Bro and myself & wife and mate & his wife went to the club to celebrate. When we left we walked back to my Mum & Dad's in Drumoyne where we stayed the night. The next morning my Dad went along to the club to do his usual Sunday stocktaking and about 12:00 he phoned the house and told my bro, mate and I to get to the club asap and to walk there & not drive. When we got to the club it turned out that big Jock had agreed for the three trophies to be brought along to the club. Off went big Wallace Watson along to Ibrox to meet Derek Johnstone and bring the trophies to the club. Imagine Wallace walking along Edmiston Drive with one in each hand and Derek the other one. When they arrived as expected the place went mental & as much champagne as the club had was put into the trophies and everyone in the club had a sip from them. Could you imagine that happening now you would be charged a fiver just to have your picture taken. Unfortunately in those days there were no digital cameras or phone cameras so to the best of my knowledge not one picture was taken. Big Jock a true legend always thinking of the fans & when fans came to the club from Canada, Ulster, Australia etc., and wanted to present their player of the year trophy my Dad used to phone Ibrox and arrange it. The conversation went along the lines of Hi Jock Hi Tommy what can I do for you? I have some visitors wanting to present Jardine/Greig or whoever with their POTY. OK fine how many do you want to come along with them 1 or 2 would be alright. Invariably there would be about 5 or 6 of the team sent along to meet the fans. The only rule was that if pictures were to be taken there would be no drink on any of the tables. As Jock used to say a glass of water in the press becomes a straight vodka, a coke is a large Bacardi & coke etc.
  6. So sad to hear this I hope his family can take strength from all the love coming from the Rangers supporters around the world. My favourite memory of Jimmy was not a goal or a tackle or a great shot but the opposition goalie hoofing the ball up the park and Jimmy watching it come down and trapping it with his backside. Never seen it done again and probably never will as today it would be mean a booking for bringing the game into disrepute.
  7. Love your choice of word there. PMSL
  8. A wee bit of dirt got into my eye reading & looking at the above two pictures.
  9. Knowing India gives English touring cricketers Delhi belly, should that not be Prune City
  10. What's wrong with Glasgow Green that's where we started.
  11. Said against the tims Klos or Goram would have saved the bigots shot for their second.
  12. I love this thing about using glasses to explain some tactic. In the amazing book about Dutch football Brilliant Orange Krol the Ajax centre half in the 70's explains a tactic to the author using pepper & salt pots on a restaurant table and the author raves about it. Also Pedro hadn't brought in any warriors all he said is he wants warriors in his team. So we are crap & we are a million miles from 2nd place? Played Aberdeen 4 times won 2 lost 2 and one of the defeats should have been a draw. Get some better players in & get results against the teams we should beat and we are a lot closer than pundits think.
  13. Big problem there is some people say all we want to do is fuck the pope
  14. Fuck sakes someone comes up with a reasonably positive stat., and he gets crucified.
  15. At least she wasn't slagging us off.
  16. Bayern Munich 72 semi final. Ach ye had to be there.
  17. I have said it before and will say it again it is not a DOF we need but a proper PR department.
  18. Beijing there is some cwap on here.
  19. Told Greg yesterday that putting the cameras on the half time draw would be a start.
  20. Well known tarrier striker Craig Beattie
  21. Showing my age here I thought it was about the Govan Salvation Army Band.
  22. There is also a proposal that parking restrictions will be brought in around the new QE2 hospital. One of them is going into Drumoyne & will link up with the Ibrox restrictions. This means that technically there could be no parking from almost Braehead to Cessnock on match days/nights.
  23. Also I believe when he retired from the game he ended up working as a plumber or joiner. Jesus to think the money they pick up these days compared to back then. Total injustice.
  24. Also hit the post against Dundalk so could have been a hat trick of hat tricks.
