MisterC 12,445 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 This came up a few months ago mate. Don't know about anyone else but its a 'til next time' gesture kind of like you would shake a mates hand when you leave each others company, thats what it is for me anyway.

BananaMan 63 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Pretty sure the players tap the top of the dressing room door when they are going onto the pitch, at least thats what I was told on the Ibrox tour. Maybe it's a good luck thing or what the others are suggesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecowboy 92 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 .. Slap the sign when leaving Ibrox? Ever since I can remember we have been slapping our stand sign on way out doors. Always wondered when this started.Footballers generaly touch the club badge on the way to the park and such like... either above the door or on the way down the tunneldunno if thats where it stems from but its is one of these little funny things we all do..seen a guy not so long ago turn around and come back through the crowd to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWTC 2,257 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Its just part of my usual match day rituals:Enter turnstile to the right1st flight of steps, kick bottom step of centre stairway. Always centre stairway and always both feet.2nd steps, same as first.Enter toilet, wait in line for cubicle, never once needed to actually use the toilet mind.Enter cubicle, close door, kiss season ticket and talk to someone in my head, beggin them to let us win.Leave toilet, climb last two sets of stairs, again kick both bottom stairs with both feet.Arrive at seat, my old man takes the seat nearest the broomland stand.Enjoy yet another win.Centre stairway all the way down, slap the top of the exit, both hands, and away we go.
