Heard on the way home that it was cunt who attended the special school in Ayr. He followed the bheasts and it was supposed to be him who waved the fenian rag and he couldn't get out of the place quick enough when he saw the charge coming his way The snottery cunt died years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezo!!! Is that how old I was 40 years ago. As for the match itself,one old duffer from St Johns Ambulance Service said at the time that he "had been on duty at the Bay City Rollers concert and it was nothing like this". There we have it people. We were compared to a BCR concert and I cannot help myself from laughing out loud Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Dangerously 7,566 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Did Willie Waddle come out on to the pitch at the next home game to tell us we need to behave ourselves? Not sure if it was after the villa game, anyone remember? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Dangerously 7,566 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I was at the game Harland. Trouble was brewing all day, at the match itself it all kicked off when they scored the 2nd. Bottles flying etc. I was down the front and ended up on the pitch. It was a scary experiance, I was only 15 at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bus got held back at Kendal service station on the way down. One of the guys robbed the till. Cops called, they were going to jail the whole bus unless the guy owned up to it, thankfully he did and was promptly knicked. Turned out he was one of these guys just along for the ride and to do a bit of thieving, not really a fan. Bellend Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellend Our had to go via a window repair shop to get 2 windows refitted, the bus was that old they never had a bit to fit so plywood was cut and fitted as IT was side windows, I was lucky as I was IN front of them because the noise and freezing wind coming IN the gaps meant coats hats and scarves for all the guys up the back but T shirts and shorts for the rest due to the heating being on full tilt. One of the guys jailed never everv went back to the football As his mum woukd have killed him and he must have been 23 vat the time! Sadly he passed away a few years later down the pit where he workedvas a spark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 17,077 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 A lot of buses bailed out after the game, I remember some guys pleading with us to go with them up to Liverpool Apprentice Boys club as they thought it would be carnage in the city centre that night. We stayed till midnight, the police made all the buses leave from police headquarters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
