BBC article on Dynamo Moscow's tour of Britain
alexscottislegend replied to der Berliner's topic in Rangers Chat
I first heard about this game in Hugh Taylor: 'Follow Follow'. He also mentioned the 12 men on the field. For a different take George Orwell wrote a famous article denouncing the Stalinist regime but I can't find a reliable link. I do remember he annoyed me by referring to Rangers as 'Glasgow.' -
Seven Match Bans For Jones and Edmundson

Edmundson could have a decent sell-on value due to his potential. I still prefer Jones to Barker though but accept he has burned his bridges. -

I'm old enough to remember falling for the Argentina 78 Ally McLeod hype. That eventual ignominy was truly cringeworthy and the only time I've felt even remotely ashamed of being Scottish, especially when we were meant to be representing the whole of Britain and blew it. One of his players said McLeod thought tactics was a peppermint. At least Clarke is modest and pragmatic. -

Sorry, but that is really petty. The Scotland team contains Ryan Jack who will be desperate to go. You must divorce your bitterness over the 'demotion' of RFC by the organisation from the Scotland players and fans, some of whom will be Rangers supporters. -

Then why wish Serbia good luck? (See I can read the cyrillic script!) -

Why do you hate Scotland so much? -
Separate Entity FC v Sparta Prague Reserves
alexscottislegend replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Even better - you should have seen Sutton's meltdown.I watched the game; Celtic played well - 70% possession at the start -but Sparta were a better side but Chris not having it. It was all a question of attitude! Griffiths is over weight acc. to Chris; he at least put the ball in the net. Now if they are that bad then M'well should do them on Sunday. Come on Mr Robinson. -

Hope to God this doesn't come back to haunt us. They will not have europe after Xmas and just the league to concentrate on. Their defence is so awful that Aberdeen and Motherwell should take points off them but I bet they won't. -
Quarterback or deep lying playmaker?

I first heard it used about Charlie Adam when he was at Blackpool in the EPL. -
