  1. As long as I can remember "A Bluenose" has been an affectionate term for a Rangers supporter and wonder if anyone knows where it came from.

    To the best of my knowledge I first heard it being used by an uncle who supported Airdrie round about the mid to late 50's.

    Please don't tell me it is now a derogatory term and is on a banned list!!!

  2. The BBC have a clip of him playing against Chelsea when he is running through the middle of their defence and Chopper Harris just comes across and tries literally to half him in two .Best just squiggles his body and keeps going then sticks it past the keeper and turns and celebrates .No going down in a heap or trying to get a player booked just kept going and scored which is the best response of all.

    First game against Arbroath away, was at it, he scored a hat trick. Second game against hivees home scored a hat trick, scored 2 against Dundalk away in his third game in the Fairs cup. 8 goals in first three games !:sherlock:

    Against Dundalk hit the post too so it could have been a hat trick of hat tricks.

  4. When you get to my age it is too many to count far less remember. Favourites King Kai's winner, a very very young DJ's header and Lovenpants header. 

    With the last one probably the best. I was sitting in row 8 right behind the goal & couldn't tell if the ball was going in until it hit the net. If you remember it hit the ground & then went up into the air and actually hit the roof of the net. I think LOL. What will live with me in hindsight was that split second when I could see the 'Gers end of main stand getting to its feet and I remember thinking it's going in but was still not sure. Then it was cue one of the craziest celebrations I have been involved in at Hampden.

    Swear to God I heard that ball rip into the net in a packed hampden. The most stunning strike of a ball I've seen live to this day.

    I was in what was then the big enclosure right behind the ball. And yes you definitely heard it WHACK into the net. 

  6. As has been said before Supercooper could be a world beater or a pile of crap. Obviously the only footage we have of him is when he is playing at his brilliant best so everyone thinks he was amazing all the time. The one thing I will say is that the game today could do with his type of player i.e. a dribbler who could beat a man.

    Was great tonight, but it was only ICT. Having said that, we looked much worse when he went off.

    I wouldn't start him next weekend, but would definitely use him as an impact sub.

    Only ICT!!! This is the team who drew with the sheep & the tims who according to the mhedia play at fortress Caledonia Stadium. We are definitely underestimating the result tonight.

  8. It is the SPFL who have created this situation with having the League Cup early this season. Basically it seems to have been the usual suspects who tick the box for the CCCS and then pay to watch games which are to be honest not very glamorous. This season the LC semi was drawn before the cut off for the CCCS so immediately a lot of fans then decided to join. Whereas in the past there have been around 5k spare for supporters clubs & individuals now there are more CCCS members than tickets. The thing that bugs me is that where were they in the earlier rounds as I seem to remember Ibrox being far from full.

    You do get breakfast in Hospitality on a early kickoff game. 

    Eggs Benidict was the usual pish right enough, up there with the sectarian cut of the grass and us refusing to sell pepperami in the green packet. 

    Don't forget the green & white straws.

  10. I gave up after the eggs benedict farce. Considering this is a breakfast meal & to the best of my knowledge there have never been breakfast served at Ibrox. But it didn't stop the press jumping all over it & to this day it still gets mentioned. As someone said as soon as it is out there it can't be retracted.
