Scotland V Germany

hahaha - maybe why my brother changed from a Celtic supporter to a Bluenose as he used to stand in the jungle.

Though I was with him in Parkhead the day he converted - Mark Walters first OF game - Jan 2nd 1987. At half time we'd had enough of the banana chucking and monkey chants and costumes - so we asked a copper if we could move to the Rangers end. And so the two of us were escorted from one end of Parkhead to the other. Unusual I'd guess.

I'd say.

So yer brother converted when we started winning everything? :whistle:

I loved the Jungle (when we were in it, not them). Great atmosphere. Absolute midden of a place, but a great atmosphere.

It was a midden - and it was a great atmosphere - pretty mental actually.

I'll have to ask him if he really supported the 'tic, or whether it was just cos he delivered Desmond White's newspapers in the morning and could get us tickets for all the big Celtic and Scotland games...
 
Maybe they could make good use of Ajax when at Celtic park? Maybe give the faithful a good scouring? :rofl: :rofl:

I wouldn't crow too much - apparently The Big Hoose is getting rather dilapidated as there has been little or no money for upkeep over the last three years. Anyway - I shall report as I am planning to be in The Big Hoose next Tuesday evening.
 
Oh it needs looking at, for sure. But that shall not detract me from crowing about the great unwashed over the city.

Absolutely your prerogative as one of the 'others'. Always thought it a bit sneaky that they built Paradump just that bit too large for Ibroke to get up to the same capacity. Note how - being of neither persuasion - I am fair in my handing out of plaudits for the two grounds.
 
a wee word of advice if you are attending the best UEFA rated ground in Scotland on Tuesday. Try not to let some of your daft comments slip out your mouth, like Ibroke (shakes head in despair smiley), or The Rangers (said mockingly).

Some of those Bears are pretty dangerous and not as tolerant to dafties as you'd hope. :thup:

Oh I know. And I'm sure you know referring to Ibrox as I did is only a friendly josh :)
 
I sometimes wonder, but I'll take your word on it. :)

It is. If we supporters of smaller clubs (smaller not diddy please) did not have the OF to complain about then life would be a bit miserable. And the problems that Rangers have had have been 'manna from heaven' (I've got to be careful with my biblical quotations these days) for us. But actually I think we've just about had our fun and we must move on - so let's have Rangers back in the SPL and helping improve the standard of Scottish football.

(note - the above not written tongue in cheek - honest :) )
 
One of my neighbours is a right bluenose.
Smashing guy and his comments throughout the last few years have always been insightful.
A million miles away from some of the stuff you see and hear from many fans.

He is so pleased that they have finally reached a decent standard on the pitch.
Warburton seems a decent manager and hopefully they can retain his services for a few years whilst they try to re establish themselves at the top level.

Yup - despite myself I can agree with that sentiment.

Aye. Move on is it? Eh?
Nah. Not before we've dished out a wee bit of verbal retribution (to aw the wee diddy teams) first methinks. ;)


Hopefully we'll be up this year. Always felt an extra season in the championship would not necessarily be a bad thing football wise for us (granted, not financially) looking like it has been. Mr Warburton seems to know a player when he sees one.

Although, I did also feel we would have gone up last year.

Are you not one of the diddy teams now.... ;)

Warburton certainly seems to be a very good appointment.

Unfortunately ;)

No, no, no, no, nooooo. :)


Yeah. I like the attitude he seems to have instilled at the club as much as the style of football......players reading the riot act to themselves cos they should have taken more chances and won by more.....I'm liking that. :thup:

Early days, but so far he does look to be a really good appointment.
At the moment I reckon we'd be a pretty tough draw for most teams in Scotland.
