When even Jim Farry blocked a royal postponement

740

25 years ago, Scotland were due to play a World Cup qualification game against Belarus on the day of Princess Diana’s funeral.  The SFA, then run by chief exec Jim Farry, the same man who was eventually removed from office for delaying Celtic’s registration of Jorge Cadete, decided the game should proceed as planned.

Whatever you think of Farry, he acted without concern for the royalist contingent.  Despite the SFA’s offices being vandalised and Scottish Secretary, Donald Dewer, applying political pressure, Farry dug in:   ”We have taken heed of the various viewpoints, but let’s be reasonable about this, life does and must go on.”

He did not act alone, the SFA International Committee were involved, and they included Celtic’s Jack McGinn, and the Greatest Football Administrator the world has ever known, Campbell Ogilvie!  This was a strange time in Britain, maybe the strangest few weeks of the last century.

Royalists were split between backers of the self-styled Queen of Hearts (honestly), and those in the minority, who sided with the actual Queen.  The Queen, a bit like Farry, held out as long as she could against the indulgent wallowing infecting millions, by resisting calls to lower flags to half-mast.

Before the end of the week, royal flags were lowered and the Scotland game was postponed.  Those of us who never took an interest in royalty were often heard saying “Let’s be reasonable about this”, but were largely ignored.

  1. I was just thinking about the Queen and wondered if she ever had to do any of the following ?

     

    1. Balanced the finances of a family of eight , on one wage packet and without the option of credit

     

    2. Peeled spuds for eight .

     

    3. Done an “old” shopping ie bus up the street ; visits to individual shops (eg butcher , baker , fruit shop etc) ; bus home carrying eight shopping bags .

     

    4. Looked in a bare kitchen cupboard Thursday teatime and thought , “I’m going to have to be creative here” .

     

    No , me neither .

  2. The optics of this are interesting. The UK was a very different country when Elizabeth was made monarch.

     

    What was the Muslim population of the UK then? Hindu? Atheist?

     

    What about the tens of thousands of people spending literally millions of pounds on flowers, wrapped in single use plastic.

     

    The world has changed. Expectations have changed.

     

    The monarchy, and related pomp, could highlight itself as being pompous and irrelevant if not properly handled.

     

    Can only hope everyone can afford the electricity to continue watching the wall to wall coverage

  6. Don’t get too upset by things you can’t change.The Monarchy has always been there in whatever guise.All the pomp and ceremony.Its what England does,and does well.

     

    Royalty has never concerned me,so what’s happening now falls into that category.

     

    Apart from the game being off.

    Charles has sworn that he “shall inviolably maintain and preserve the Settlement of the true Protestant religion”.

     

     

    That’s the essence of the British constitution.

     

    ====================================

     

    “British”

     

    The cement foundations of institutional racism and in particular anti Irish Catholic racism and sectarianism are in your quote,

     

    The racism and sectarianism,paranoia and ignorance of the union towards the Irish has been rolled out and renewed(your quote) every time the point of the needle on an archaic class system needs changed.

     

     

    I think we should all ask the meanings behind these ancient words and rituals,am not a fan of it…before debating and getting rid.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  8. Just a reminder for you Neil Young fans out there. Today – tonight – tomorrow will see the Harvest Moon, might be visible now depending on weather conditions but should be to the South this evening as darkness falls. An added bonus will be Jupiter bright in the sky, to the left of the moon, and later though less bright also Neptune above the full moon. Depending when you look skyward you may be able to see all three at the same time.

    King Charles and the ultimate Rangers tradition as third monarch set for Ibrox honour

     

     

    Ibrox directors invite their counterparts on the first home game of every new year to toast the health of the reigning monarch.

     

     

     

     

     

    Rangers strike legend Ally McCoist and current goalkeeper Allan McGregor have both shared the famous portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which proudly hangs in the home dressing at Ibrox Stadium.

     

     

    It is one of two of Britain’s longest-serving monarch who died on Thursday, aged 96, at Balmoral after reigning for 70 years. One hangs above the captain’s peg and the other above the door to the changing area for the home players. King Charles III will likely be given his place inside the Ibrox dressing room.

     

     

    But one decades-long tradition in the Blue Room at Ibrox will be altered when Celtic are the visitors to the home of their rivals on January 2 next year. For more than 80 years the directors at Rangers and their guests on the first home game of the new year have made a toast to the health of the reigning monarch in what is known as the Loving Cup ceremony. And that, for the first time since Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne on February 6, 1952, will be to the King.

     

     

    A month prior to that they had raised the Cup to her father King George VI prior to a 2-1 home defeat to Dundee. And in every year since, on the first home match of the new calendar year, Rangers toasted Queen Elizabeth II.

     

     

    The Loving Cup can be found in the Ibrox trophy room and its story is part of club folklore. In 1937 Rangers, then the Scottish champions, were invited to play Stoke City for a fundraising match to help families of the 30 miners who tragically lost their lives due to a fire at the Holditch Colliery.

     

     

    Bill Struth, the then legendary manager accepted, and 30,000 watched a goalless draw which helped raise almost £2000. In return, Potters chairman Sir Francis Joseph gifted Rangers the Loving Cup which he had commissioned to commemorate the coronation of King George VI.

     

     

    Only 30 were cast from a special mould and Joseph’s only request was that the vessel should be used to toast the health of the reigning monarch before the club’s first home match of every new year. It has been a tradition ever since with the Rangers manager also taking part.

    “Decisions about how to police protests require consideration of complex and often competing rights and issues.

     

     

     

    “The guiding principles of policing protests are the safety of protestors, the public and police officers involved, preventing criminal behaviour or disorder and deescalating tensions.”

  23. Ange Postecoglou was in the midst of something quite extraordinary. In the final stages of the Champions League defeat by Real Madrid, there were almost 60,000 fans on their feet chanting his name.

     

     

    “Singing at the top of their voices with the team 3-0 down. After the whistle had sounded, they continued to chant and sing for the Aussie and his players as they walked around the pitch to say thanks for the backing. It was a gesture of support and recognition of where Postecoglou has taken the club in 15 short months and a message that everyone is on board with him.

     

     

    “In the cut-throat culture of modern-day football, that’s a rare thing for a manager and something to be cherished and held onto. And his message afterwards was powerful about repaying that support and building the club up to be in with the elite and properly competing on a regular basis. It’s among the many reasons why I cannot see Postecoglou being interested in a move from Glasgow’s east end right now.

     

     

    “You are surely not going to go from that to leaving in the blink of an eye, especially not to, with the greatest of respect, Brighton and Hove Albion. Postecoglou backs himself and so he should. His CV is stellar. He has taken his country to World Cup Finals, he has won trophies wherever he has been.”
