Great thread, this, with many worthy names. I still think Willie Rae is the most notable. Here's what a gentleman named Mr Gub had to say about him in an article on FF. "Willie Rae came to Ibrox in 1946 and was mainly considered to be a half back. Any half back at Ibrox at that time was always going to be prepared to play a waiting game because Ian McColl and Sammy Cox were the first picks. Yet despite it all Willie played that waiting game as is testified by the fact that he made 181 appearances all told (inc war time) and won his two league badges in 46/47 and 55/56. That’s perseverance and loyalty to that blue jersey for you. Willie also had one League Cup (46/47) and one Scottish Cup badge (49/50) to add to his major domestic haul." Wouldn't happen today.

Your information is obviously a lot better than mine, Bm.

For what it's worth, Willie Miller reckoned Rangers could have been three up at halftime and Aberdeen weren't in the game. Don't know what he said at the end.

Hammers hammered.

You can dominate a match and still lose it. Our attack is blunt. Our defence is weak. Simples. Solution not so simples.

Very amusing. Very clever. Well done them..

Arsenal's brilliant quick-touch football was impressive today. What is more unusual, their defence was decisive and effective as in the bygone days of Bould. And Adams. And Keown.

4 - 1 in the end to United. City stroll on. Sunderland lose at home to Palace in the last minute - thought Moyes was chosen to stop that sort of thing. Big win for 'Pool while Everton are beaten away by Bournemouth. Can't believe an idiot poster predicted them to finish above the Kloppers. 'Spurs survive at Boro'. WBA get a draw at Stoke. Maybe Sunderland should have gone for Pulis Gunners to whack Chelsea to go above United. Or the other way round. Unless it's adraw.

Artur was fairly well sung, no?

Willie Rae Johnnie Little Willie Telfer I always felt sorry for Willie Rae. Imagne being understudy to Sammy Cox and Ian McColl but there was never a more loyal or more industrious battler for the cause than he. The original list is fine except Dado who got plenty of singing and Ricksen whom I don't see as a hero.

From their point of view we dealt them three hammer blows on the field of play more significant than run of the mill defeats. In two successive weeks in the mid seventies when they were full of ambition and playing well, we beat them 2-0 in the Cup and 4-0 in the league both games at Ibrox, then there was the famous 2-0 wnner takes all last game of the season early in the NIAR. It's hard to like someone who snatches your lollipop from you. On the other hand they took some horrible batterings from celtic like - dare I say it? - lambs.

United 4, Leicester 0 at HT. Wow. No Rooney. Mata playing and scoring likewise Pogba.

Much to my surprise, DJ handled that quite well. What "profession" is Sutton on about? He's a retired pro footballer. Professional broadcaster, journalist? Don't think so.

Sellout Saturday, surely. They sold a ticket to everyone who wanted to buy one.

I don't suppose many remember the 54/55 title winners. Beautifully balanced team which proved that you don't need a bunch of star guys who can't play together and don't make the effort. The current Aberdeen might have more cohesion than Rangers at this stage of the season ant they play such a basic system it's hard to get it wrong.

What have the names and ages of the children got to do with this?

And it's tims.

Ht: 0 - 0..............

As many as that?

How about Rangers fans roaring with laughter after thirteen minutes?.

Only one way to read that. The simple way. For another valid interpretation they would have needed a bunch of these apostrophe gizmos. Looks like it's changed now: "Arrest over ‘hanging’ effigies of Rangers fans at Celtic game" Never mind bhoys, a good laugh while it lasted, eh, mischief makin' wee craturs that ye are.

And again.

Tims call themselves Tims.

Fair play to pl, that has the ring of truth to it. There's always a first time.

"Given that Scott often agrees with me" I did. Until you almost persuaded me that Fraser Aird played in the style of Alec Scott.
