  1. Sprayed on strips is the way forward. Oh wait a minute that only looks good on females. Alledgedly
  2. Harold Davis didn't take many prisoners
  3. I just knew the boy would be keech
  4. Statistically a team playing a team of relatively equal skill will only score from a corner every ten games (quote - the Numbers Game by Chris Anderson & David Sally) So maybe that is why we don't play balls in to the box at corners. The book also quotes that was the reason that the recent great Spanish side didn't cross the ball & not as everyone thought due to the size of their players.
  5. I will reverse this question my Dad's bowling club allowed a couple of members to run a celtic night as the club was desperate for money. When the tims went to the bar & found McEwans lager they refused to by it as it was our shirt sponsor. Phone call to my Dad who then ran round various clubs in the area "borrowing" bottles of Becks and then took them to the club and charged them way over the odds. Being the famous thick micks they came back another three times.
  6. If I remember correctly he was also getting stick from his girlfriend who was the then current Miss Spain. And was probably fed up doing this
  7. Anyway we can but with a caveat that we beat them 4 times which would be cherry on top of icing on cake
  8. Barcelona 72 beats everything by a country mile (whatever that is)
  9. Dont forget to add winding up timothy to the nth degree
  10. A few stories about Jock. A player called Ken Mackie who played for Dunfermline when asked to sign for us asked for time to think it over. Big Jock "Son if you need time to think about signing for Rangers you wont be signing" or words to that effect. Ken Mackie? Never heard of again. My Dad was the president of the original wee Rangers club and when supporters clubs turned up wanting to do a presentation my Dad would phone Jock on the morning of the game "Which player is it for and how many do you want there" and always there was more players than asked for. After winning the Scottish cup to complete the 2nd treble he phoned the club and sent big Derek & one of the committe down Edmiston Drive with the three trophies to show them to "the people" The words Rangers & legend were invented for him.
  11. I still believe the cup should be taken from them & the game declared void that would really hurt the fans as it is them that caused the problem not the club.
  12. Had a look at this thread hoping for a picture of aforementioned doctor
  13. Don't forget the former manager when he played for them turning to the Copland stand & calling us dirty orange barstewards. Also remember the press if I recall picked up on it but after a day dropped it sorry swept it under the carpet.
  14. Now if the Broomloan Road stand was named the QE2 stand imagine the flak we would get from the Scottish mhedia. Mind you Greenock Morton have started it with the Dublin end. Now just think of the mhankies faces when they get their tickets for the next old firm game and in the future we could change it to the King William stand.
  15. RIP the Greatest. I remember his second fight against Liston it was on TV around 4ish in the morning, so my Dad got me and my Brother up to watch it as we were still at school. Before the fight started my Dad decided to fry some sausages and have them on rolls. So my brother is delegated to put the butter onto the rolls, me being older was to make the tea and my Dad fried the sausages. Everything ready away we go into the living room and there is Ali standing over Liston and I remember my Dad saying "I don't remember this from the first fight" then we discovered the fight was over as he knocked Liston out in 2minutes. Rolls eaten and back to bed.
  16. I would take the cup off them as this would really hurt their fans, call the result null and void and put the cup back in the cupboard at Hampden. Then start talking about possible other punishments banning orders, financial penalties etc.
  17. Talking of McArse I remember listening to him on RC before we played the sheep. It was the prematch warmup & suddenly he said the Rangers number 8 has tried to hit me with a ball and missed & started to laugh. Co-commentator Andy Walker I think, quickly said no he didn't miss he meant that. It seems the ball literally skimmed his nose and they were sitting on the gantry. Happy birthday genius & thanks for the memories.
  18. It was probably part of his initial contract get promotion and you will get a wage rise.
  19. I smell shoite!!! I left hampdump around 10 mins after the game finished and on the way out via the Hampden Taxi route we passed around 3 groups of marching plod 1 group of trotting plod and around 3 to 4 vans. Everyone of them was given dogs abuse from our fans with lots of sarcastic cheering & clapping. On turning into Battlefield lo & behold 3 vans with "support group" on the side came through the lights with their sirens on and flashing lights again lots of sarcastic jeering. No sign of vans being jostled and kamikaze children only jeering and clapping.
  20. Actually Fenian is/was a bunch of political activists who were trying to remove we the British from Ireland. The Oxford English Dictionary circa 1954
