macranger 296 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Sorry if it's already been posted.Just watched the Paul Gascoigne movie & he tells of the death threats he got after the "infamous" playing of the flute. He got a letter from an leading republican terrorist, with his name, address, & 2 mobile numbers saying he was going to kill him. He showed it to Walter Smith who brought the police in. The police flew over to Ulster to speak to the guy, then they go back to tell Gazza, in the polices own words, "yes, you're right, he is going to kill you". They tell Gazza, there's nothing they can do unless he flies over here & they hand Gazza a mirror to check under his car for bombs, then they fuck off.Wee bit of a difference with what they did when a certain Mr lego teeth goes to them. To be honest, I don't even remember anything as specific as this getting reported in any papers at the time. Mind you, they did bugger all for Novo when he got the threats either.

sco22y 280 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I just watched this! It is a seriously good watch. watching his best friend die at the age of 13, as he raced him running home- and for his best friend to get run over- is hard to take. Don't expect much from his time with us because it lasts approx. 1-2 mins. More English orientated, but I had expected that.It has been the best thing I have seen in a long time, just disappointed more time wasn't spent on his time with us.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,749 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Not often someone gets death threats for miming.Takes a special race to be offended by a guy who said fuck all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrurobear 15 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Much appreciated, guys. Really enjoyed that. Gazza and davie Cooper were the most naturally gifted players I saw with the bears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr3_bear 15,084 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Is the chanting of one Paul Gascogne at the start not from the clip of us when we signed him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymate1690 667 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It was decent but i think it could have been a lot better.The 2 death stories were pretty bad though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Is the chanting of one Paul Gascogne at the start not from the clip of us when we signed him? It was.Thought it was a good watch, would have been better if there was more about his time with us though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr3_bear 15,084 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 It was.Thought it was a good watch, would have been better if there was more about his time with us though.Thought that To be honest I was not expecting us to get a lot of airtime , we never really do with gazza , not through any fault of his own , it is just the three main topics the media/iinterviewers or documentary makers like to focus on with gazza are Italia 90 , his breakthrough and getting some stories about his off field stories and battles, so that tends to be the main topics the majority of his interviews are centred around , No doubt if you asked him about rangers he would happily discuss us for Hours on end , they also went over his newcastle career a lot quicker than I though they would considering it was his breakthrough at that club.

stafford 163 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just watched it nothing really new but still a joy to watch. The guy was unbelievable and he was ours. Just as a sidenote for people complaining we don't feature much we feature pretty heavily in his list of honours at the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATBB 1,524 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 We (Rangers) never get much of a mention these days when it comes to Gazza; The media all focus on England moments. Pleasantly surprised at the Airtime we actually got in this, and the way he speaks about us, he loved it here. Also surprised to learn of his run in with the IRA! Did not actually know that! That list of honours at the end too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Decent film, could have been better imo, wish there was more footage in it.You can tell Gazza is haunted by some of the things in his past, but hes looking better in the film than he has looked in a while so hope hes doing good.The way he speaks about Rangers you can tell he absolutely loved playing with us, I wish we played a bigger part in the film because the played basically the same amount of games for us as he did for Newcastle and Spurs (i think it was 103 for us, 112 Spurs and 105 NUFC?)
