Marky. 7,029 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Right, so I guess I've not told many stories for a while on here, but this one is quite warming, so it is definitely one worth sharing.So right now I'm working in London, and obviously when you first meet people, you get talking about football, and so the other day was no exception.The office is full of people from many different places, but I got speaking to a guy from Cyprus, and he couldn't really tell where I was from.I asked him if he's interested in football, and what team he supports, he replied that he supports Manchester United, and that most people do there because they like the winning teams etc etc.So I then told him I live in Glasgow, and I asked him to take a guess at which Glasgow football team I support, and he replied"Glasgow Rangers, they are the only team from Glasgow"Damn right they are, I said to him!Just kind of shows that we, are still the people.

cameron1873 531 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What a pish story.Just because some guy from Cyprus said that means fuck all. It's like this is in a small way justifying your support. This guy could know fuck all about football except a few teams names.Here is a similar story. On holiday I walked by a sports shop with a gers top. The owner saw this and shouted "Glasgow rangers, I like, I like". That is when I knew I supported the right club. I waved and as I walked by he said "you want to buy football top" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 7,029 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hopefully you meet plenty burds on matchdays.Marky in Malia always had potential to be the peak point of my writing career actually, so I suppose any matchday updates would not be interesting enough for the entertainment of Rangers Media.

Inigo 32,848 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 15 seconds of my life I'll never get back mate but cheers for sharingA better 15 seconds than the rest of the 10 cumulative days (or thereabouts) I've spent on this blasted addiction called RM! I liked yer story, man!! Greeks (albeit Cypriot ones) as pro-Rangers is a pleasing idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueshoff 12,383 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Right, so I guess I've not told many stories for a while on here, but this one is quite warming, so it is definitely one worth sharing.So right now I'm working in London, and obviously when you first meet people, you get talking about football, and so the other day was no exception.The office is full of people from many different places, but I got speaking to a guy from Cyprus, and he couldn't really tell where I was from.I asked him if he's interested in football, and what team he supports, he replied that he supports Manchester United, and that most people do there because they like the winning teams etc etc.So I then told him I live in Glasgow, and I asked him to take a guess at which Glasgow football team I support, and he replied"Glasgow Rangers, they are the only team from Glasgow"Damn right they are, I said to him!Just kind of shows that we, are still the people.He probably thinks sellik are from Dublin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I travel to Cyprus a lot - the Cypriots I know are always genuinly interested in how Rangers are getting on as they are aware of who I support and our recent issues.Met a few English guys from Derby the last time I was there (Derby County fans) - and they fuckin LOVE Rangers - we were their "second team", though i wasn't quite sure where the allegience started! - we all ended up all doing the bouncy in a Karaoke bar. My wife didn't know where to look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I had a similar experience in Zante. The guy looked at my tattoo and started singing the Billy Boys then proceeded to smash a plate against the floor and denounce the Pope before declaring Bobby Sands "deed" to a raucous applause.
