    ‘It seems, to many, Fergus included, justice is alright but don’t let it get in the way of making money.’

    Or, as Del boy said to Rodney, ‘It’s nice to have principles, but business is business.’

     

     

    The problem is though that football is supposed to be a sport, and if you are prepared to accept cheating in sport there’s just no point to it.

    Who said in 1998…”Ok Traynor, must go. I have an empire to run. Speak later. No Surrender.” ???

  3. Wow! I hear that Police Scotland have arrested the two Sevcovians who were singing sectarian songs at Rugby Park.

     

     

    That should certainly make for a more civilised event when they come calling to Paradise.

     

     

    I’d just like to publicly thank Sevco and Police Scotland for working tirelessly to fill the void that was created by the sudden death of Robin Williams. Sometimes, I forget the wee genius is no longer with us.

    The mouldmaster was always sorer on a red ash park, not sure why, but seemed a lot more painful

    Reading your last post I immediately crossed my legs, painfull memories.

     

    ===%%%====

     

    With apologies to longer term posters who have heard my tale of woe and glory, there are another two elements to add to the mould master pain menu.

     

     

    The “ball” itself, red blaes of course plus temperatures hovering around freezing and the gonads.

     

     

    One day back around 68 all four aligned in a Saturday morning game up Barmulloch way on a red blaes pitch.

     

     

    The “ball” was hoofed up the right wing and was pursued by our winger and their full back. Sensing the winger might just get there first I moved in from the left wing to pick up any cross.

     

     

    My judgement was wrong (and consequences painfu)l in that their full back reached the “ball” first and bloodred it across goal away from our winger.

     

     

    Well it would have gone across goal had my gonads not intercepted and the “ball” (no – the “ball” – singular) dropped at my feet, which had gone along with my legs into stagger forward and fall down mode.

     

    As luck would have it the cold kept the pain of first impact at bay long enough for me to realise I had staggered past the keeper and,although at a narrow angle, the goal was at my mercy.

     

     

    My striker instinct took over and I toe poked the ball over the line to score.

     

     

    I carried on with my forward stagger off the park in the uphill direction of the toilets, by this time in more pain than a same club believer reading the UEFA letter, in order to first find where the gonads had gone, then inspect the damage.

     

     

    After about 15 mins I was able to return to the field of play to accolades from my team mates and sympathy from the ref, who did not book me for going off without permission. Who says refs aren’t human?

     

     

    I scored quite a lot of goals as an amateur but for some reason I remember that one most.

    Forsythe said in a radio interview about 10 years ago that [Deadclub] was his club, but his wife and two sons were Celtic fans. He went on to say that Celtic were a bigger club worldwide and could attract investment easier than Rankers could. This he put down to the romance surrounding Celtic, the huge Irish/Scottish diaspora, big cup winners etc. Forsythe said that one of the first things people associate with Rangers is Ulster Unionism and sadly sectarianism which deters investors. Hun or not, at least he had the guts to call it.

    Absolutely true story re the noise emitting football………..

     

     

    My mum worked with primary school deaf kids for a few years. They organised a game of football against the kids from the visually impaired school. The kids at her school were of course just like any other kids, full of mischief and fun, and when they were told they were playing the ‘blind’ kids they were right up for it, rubbing their hands at the thought of the slaughter ahead, hat tricks already counted.

     

     

    Lo and behold matchday and the visually impaired kids were awfully quick on the turn, they traced the ball with their movement, no slaughter ensued and in fact they deaf boys suffered an early goal against.

     

     

    Uproar. Bemusement, Confusion.

     

     

    My mum explained there was a bell in the ball that allowed the visually impaired boys to keep up with the movement they couldn’t see.

     

     

    “Cheats!” was the cry of the deaf boys. “We can’t hear it!”

     

     

    A brilliantly innocent story I think.

    I didn’t realise two guys could make so much noise…can you imagine if everyone else had joined in? It would have been an ‘oral diarrhoea’ world record…

  8. Jordan Rossiter:

     

     

    Valued at £8M, Rangers got him for £250K based on cross-border youth transfers, and it looks like one of the canniest quarters of a million spent in some time. Drawing comparisons with both Barry Ferguson and Steven Gerrard, Rossiter has slotted in absolutely impeccably, reading the game brilliantly, rarely wasting a pass, and working hard to close opponents down. Not to mention quite happily tackling too. In Rangers’ currently underwhelming midfield, he has been an absolute stand out. 9/

     

     

    A deluded Ibrox Noise now trying vainly to bump Rossiter into the dizzy heights of that other “Superstar”,sorry I forget his name,like everyone else on the planet,that left for Brentford.

     

    8 million,!!!!!!!!!!.No one else interested in the boy.

     

    Deluded,stupid,gullible.

     

    Division 5 in England.Shove it.With the route to the CL riches even more within our grasp,why would we waste time down there.If we invest right,we should qualify each year.That would be around 200 million thrown away in the pursuit of the EPL.Who would want to come to us playing in Div 5,4,3,2?.We would be on a slippery slope,with no getting back up.

     

    Madness.

    It’s only a 3 hour and 5 minute commute from Manchester to Athens as long as Mr Lescott does that online checkin thingy and moves his family to the Hilton, Rad Blue or the Clayton hotels at the Airport.

     

     

    It’s a doddle.

     

     

    But I can understand Mr Lescott not wanting to drive from Manchester to Glasgow and back each day. That would be really tiring.

    It’s one thing to travel to Greece to play footie.

     

    But travelling back to 1690 is a less enticing prospect for any right minded individual!

  10. Is Joe Garner related to Willie Garner?

     

     

    Although Willie was a defender (allegedly), Joe is a striker (also allegedly) who scored six times for his previous club last season.

     

     

    Their playing styles are very similar.

     

     

    HH!!
