16BlueSherbert90 19,307 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I am sorry if this has been posted already....I was on twitter and came across this by a fellow fan known as Paul Meikleham @meeky1690(on twitter) and thought it was quite lovely yet sad. I know it is musically from Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars, but the words he has written are a lovely wee tribute to our 66 absent friends.If it is not to your taste then please try and keep it respectful when leaving feedback.

charlotte1008 211 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Two Stories Of Contrast From Older SupportersHEARTWRENCHINGWe will call him Willie, primarily because that is his name. Willie is only nine years older than me, but that nine years holds more to it due to what I recount below. He tells this story now with the same face from whence I first heard it. There is a kind of emptiness behind his normally laughing eyes. I was going to pen my own words for this part of the story, but as he has already had articles printed for him in various publications, I will leave it to an article that the Herald printed a few years ago. By his own admission it is the better of all the articles he has been a part of and one which he can still read.

I think the words hit most of us though and it is a very moving effort. I would like to see someone do a song that is entirely their own song. Not me, cause I can't write poetic words/music or sing a note in tune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviec1953 147 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 This, more than any other reason Ā is why we must never let the Rangers haters win.
