MIKE IN TORONTO on 5TH NOVEMBER 2017 11:04 AM
Apparently, Marousne Fellani is suing his football boot manufacturer, New Balsnce, claiming their boots are rubbish, and have hurt his career. He was getting paid over 600,000 quid a year to wear NB!! Madness
——————————————————————————————————————
Mibbees naw.
In my youth, I was convinced I was going to have a fantastic career as a professional footballer till I swopped my trusty Puma King for the George Best recommended Stylo Matchmaker. ‘Fraid it was all downhill from there.
M6bhoy
I will raise your puma kings with every Bhoys necessity… Adidas beckenbaurs with a pair of Adidas sambas for 5 a sides :-)
Watching Chelsea -Man U and listening to commentators praising Fabergas.
I can’t stand the guy.
He is a very talented player.
But he is a classic example of a lot that is wrong with the modern game.
Basically a guy who thinks cheating is acceptable.
His performances against Celtic for Arsenal was disgusting.
He constantly feigned injury and went down anytime there was the slightest contact while his hypocritical manager did his usual and failed to see his own teams gamesmanship while continually moaning about divers ruining the game.
As for Fellani magic boots couldn’t make that big lumpen sod into a footballer.

Adidas Mundial should be compulsory footwear for all serious professionals. Whatever, all football boots should be black. Alan Ball has a lot to answer for with his infamous white boots. ARRRGGGH!!!!
M6bhoy
Seemingly true story Kieran Tierney was gutted when his football sponsors told him he could no longer wear black boots, Adidas mundial ring a bell but Beckenbaur was more famous than that mundial character :-)
The soft ground version of Mundial is called Adidas World Cup and both uppers are made from Kangaroo Leather which moulds around your feet like a second skin (if properly looked after with regular applications of dubbin). Not many wearers realised they were wearing one of Skippy’s relatives round their feet. Yes, I know Skippy was a wallaby but they are related to roo’s.
Talking of boots. When boots, on average, were below two pounds, Lumleys (?) in Sauchiehall Street had Pumas at £7 ! We looked at them and felt their beautiful softness and lightness but could never afford them.
JJ
When Admiral brought out their white boots the less talented footballers but flamboyant types loved them.
First time i ever heard football boots being an indicator to sexual preference.
Hot Smoked
Lumleys is still a sports shop under a different guise, still in the same building but under a different name, don’t think it’s a Phoenix like the Govan mob, Lumleys always has the foreign tops but was more of a Greaves Bhoy when any birthday or Christmas money to spend

Silly comment re Rab Douglas didn’t want Celtic to win in Seville…
*I though Bobo was more to blame leaving us shorthanded. Now if that had been said about Vidal Sassoon hmmmm.
———
One of a thousand memories of Seville was watching the TV footage of Bobo after he had been sent off.
He went inside to the dressing rooms, completely alone, and curled up in a ball with his head in his hands.
He knew fine he’d scuppered us and rightly or wrongly he was blaming himself.
I don’t blame big Bobo, or Rab. We are what we are, we win as a team, or lose as a team.
To this day I can’t bring myself to watch that game – too painful.
BIG JIMMY-I’m reading back from last night and you had a wee moment caused by the juice:-))welcome to the club mate,it’s a thousand strong:-))
GFTB-puma Dalglish gold fitba boots:-))
FAIRHILL BHOY. no it wasnt big jimmy it was me thanks for the welcome.
FAN-A-TIC Agree,a horrible individual
Highlights on bbc2 coming up hope they keep the best till last :-))
BIG PACKY-sorry mate,I’m blaming the juice:-))

I inherited my brother’s boots when I made my debut for St Benedict’s Drumchapel Under-12s in about 1970.
I think my brother inherited them from our auld fella – they weighed a ton and had rubber studs that you hammered in to the leather base.
They were also about 3 sizes too big for me.
Imagine playing left-back on a red-ash pitch in unforgiving Shettleston, aged 11, wearing clown shoes.
That concludes the case for the defence.
My first fitba boots were Winfield wonders fae Woolies in Partick. Remember getting Stylo Matchmakers from Lumleys in Partick and feeling the bees knees. :)
Watching Tommy Wright interview there. Is he related to Arlene Foster? Deadringers :)
Good evening, friends. Enjoying Sportscene but in the knowledge that it’s ONLY 13 more sleeps.
WhenI’mSixtyFourCSC
Still watching sportscene,when did wee rat start wearing the tracky:-))
The genius that is Neil McCann
“That’s so angering!”
Jobo
Rat features McCann is raging with Stokes, probably because Anthony was poppyless. :)
Wonderful news breaking about the finances of the super rich, no surprise that the queen is also avoiding paying tax
Fairhill Bhoy 5.57pm
Wee nephew bought two pairs of fitba boots at £70 a throw with his paper round money, I asked him why a pair of white & black boots, his answer “so I can wear left one colour & right the other colour” !!!!!!!!!
Enrico Annoni has a lot to answer for :-)
SoT,
I too watched Feijenoord beat Millan. Van Hanegem’s performance is something I will never forget. A great great player and a vital part of that great Dutch team.
*HELP REQUIRED*
Does anyone have and can vouch for a plasterer who will do a job in the Shotts area, been let down by 3 different plasterers so far. Thanks
I noticed Celtic lisboa has uploaded on Twitter his choices of Celtic games from Nov 5.
One of favourites has been uploaded. Nov 5 1983.
Rangers 1 Celtic 2 McGarvey and Burns.
The reason I remember it is, as usual, no tickets but living close to Ibrox, over we go to chance our way in. We know the script go for The Govan stand as there are spare seats because of segregation.
Police and stewards at every turnstile, darn, then a wee commotion, big police reacts to it and leaves a turnstile unattended.
My mate John to the turnstile operator, let us in for a tenner? Yes on you go, I says the same, yes on you go, lastly my big mate Billy, he hands over a twenty and waits, whit you waiting on said the operator, change said Billy, do you want ####in or not said the operator. Oh man how we laughed about that for many a year. Two for the price of one.
It might have been fiver and tenners I genuinely can’t remember, I just remember the big mhan had to pay double.
Hail Hail

Your mate getting in without a ticket and looking for change, quality :-)
GFTB-I wish I had that paper round when I was a Bhoy:-))£70 a throw:-))))
PARKHEADCUMSALFORD. @6 39 .
I couldn’t believe the number of people who thought that Final was in the bag . i remember telling people — believe me -better than Leeds and getting- That’s Guff-.Van Hanegem was a wonderful player . Nicknamed -De Kromme– Crooked -because of his very bandy ,bandy legs.

*The Milan players were invited over tae Rotterdam tae celebrate one of their anniversary’s of their Big Cup win. The players are standing at a bar when in walks this punter with a long trench coat on, walks over tae them and buys a round, its WvH, has a blether with them and then leaves. At the end of the night the Celtic squad asks for their tab. The bartender informs them that it has already been taken care of by one of the greatest Dutch players of all time. Now that’s class.
BRTH
I was down in Ayr this lunchtime and listened to the interview
It actually was fascinating and I’m happy to acknowledge your memory.
My dad took me to Celtic Park when I was 10, and my journey of over 50 years began. I too share the excitement when I see my team play.
Regards
HH
Boots – lived in Toryglen and used to play football on the waste ground. Anyway shared a pair of the old leather studded pair with my brother. We took turns-about to wear them – anyway one evening he wore the boots and during the game I stood on a broken bottle which flicked up and gashed me below the ankle – up to the Vicky for 3 stitches. If I had the boots that night gggrrrr
Gerryfaethebrig. 6.51.
Thanks Gerry.
Aye there’s a reason why some called him Trigger. :-))

That game at Ibrox in 1983, there was 5 mates and I with 3 tickets. We waited till no polis at turnstile and we all doubled up through the turnstile. We were all slim 17 year old bhoys then. :)
Very interesting documentary on Italian cooncil tele re the last time Italia suffered the indignity of having to play a World Cup Qualifying Playoff -v Russia 1997 -They won .
This time round they play Sweden -away -Friday night coming . They are very worried. They think that they have much better players than Sweden ( i agree ) but are very aware that Sweden might be much more of a team than the current shambles which is the Italian team .
Football boots — never ever had a pair –to quote my old man -what on earth for ?
Fairhill Boy 6.53pm
He made a ton a week from the age of 15, his gran (my mother) had him delivering our papers and we lived 20yds from the shop !!!! Only downside, he wasn’t the best footballer, too busy buying fitba boots to concentrate on playing :-)
