When you look at the team we had back then, it's hard to believe that the following season we finished in 3rd place behind Hearts before then going onto 9-in-a-row.

What could have been....

 

 I Still think we would have won the following year if Butcher hadnt broken his leg

I'm one of the guys taking pictures at the rhs of the goals at the Broomloan Rd end :lol: 

But yeah ,  you could see Souness knew how to play mind games . Take out their biggest player and then take no shit from the ref when he had the audacity to book him . Oh , and he could play football too .  In fact , he embodies everything that is missing from our current set up , from the boardroom down .

Iirc , we got off to a bad start by losing the first three games . One of which , I'm sure Souness got sent off at p......d and called Syme a poof :lol: Think he got a 5 game ban for that , though to ensure he missed the League Cup Final , which was 6 games away ,  they banned him for 4 games for the red card , allowed him to play one , then banned him for the final for his comment . 

Some things never change :lol:

The crazy thing watching Souness there was that was him winding down at the end of his career. He had actually mellowed by this point. I swear he probably ate raw steaks for breakfast and punched people in the face to say hello.

Cooper would have caused so much argument if the internet had been around then. Only turned up every second or third game but he was a genius and the reason I went to every game through the 80s. When he was on it he was untouchable and it was usually the big games he turned up for. I so wish he was still with us but I'm also glad he never had to see the shite we're going through.
