rab wilson 3,160 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 sorry boys but it's friday and feeling a bit sentimental. when i was a wee boy, me , ma dad, ma cousin tommy and my uncle tommy were always a tight unit at ibrox, and away games.ma dad used to work nights at leyland at bathgate, but would always make sure ma scarf was perfect before he went to the orange club in blackburn on a saturday morning, i would team up with him an hour later, we would meet our 2 amigos at ibrox before the game and really we could smell the grass from the hallowed turf as we entered the copland.the one thing that i will take to the grave is that we always went fuckin mental when the bears scored, the four of us clinging onto each other for dear life like it was the most important thing in the world. Rangers were shite in the early 80's, but we sill had cooper, russell, macdonald, and dawson.going mental with your old man and those you loved most was what made me a true bear.Just wish i was still on speaking terms with ma dad so i could tell him what it really meant to me, but he probably knows anyway.Feel free to take the pissI could not give a fuckNo SurrenderRab Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummiesoot 13,598 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Some things seem funny, nostalgia does that it is horrible at the time, tripping over beer can filled with pish. The guy walking up and down the enclosure "Macaroon and Tab" great days watching Doddie, Cooper, Bobby Russell, Parlane, so many great memories. Bears singing the same songs, atmosphere, no shopping to the polis (some joined in the singing from memory). No sitting on our fat arses in silence hoping to be entertained.Fuck it, bring back open air bogs and standing, fitba was truly a male bastion, if somewhat disgusting at times, in those days.
