    Matthews? If only, BH. Andy Matthew, signed from East Fife. Did well enough until Davy was ready.

    BBC TV interview with Andrew Neil about 2/3 years ago.

    The best centre forward I ever saw at Ibrox has died. Puskas and Gento were on the park that night as well.

    I've only twice had the government I voted for but that's democracy. I think the discussions here prove beyond doubt that football has next to no affect on politics.

    A couple of years ago the SNP defence spokesman affirmed that they would keep a Scottish battalion in Afghanistan and send another one to the Sudan plus keep two NATO standard airfields in the north east of Scotland (but no nuclear weapons, of course - somebody else can do the umbrella defence) You are quite right. Politicians have made a horlicks of things. I'm just not convinced that Scots politicians are any better just because they are Scots Anyway, I'm here for the Rangers. Admin should close this topic or reduce it to the lounge or even better ban politics. I hold up my hand. I'm one of the worst offenders.

    Who exactly are "they" who don't allow us to spend the money we earn? I know that it's posh public school boys at present but was it not Gordon Brown not so long ago? And was he not in office partly because of a phalanx of Scottish MPs? Any news of that pesky disappearing arc by the way? Am I an oppressed, hard-done-by feartie? Naw so the vote's naw as well.

    Titbits, rewards, pats on the head. Good puir auld Scotland rhetoric but what exactly are they? Can you describe them? And the arc of prosperity - where did that go? Two of the components went bust and the third didn't want to know.

    I think I'd look at New Zealand rugby first.

    I remember Argentina very well. We had a team of decent footballers (wish we had them today) and a manager who could motivate so well that the players thought they didn't have to work. Simple as that. A football defeat is disappointing, often bitterly so but you get over it sooner rather than later but it doesn't affect the national psyche whatever that is. I suggest that the RBS failure was a greater disaster than a World Cup collapse. Were they among others not an example of Scotland's great skills and energy, part of Mr Salmond's "arc of prosperity" - Iceland, Ireland, Scotland and Norway? Whatever happened to the first two?

    Governing is a helluva difficult thing to do. You can't get everything right all of the time. I've seen a dozen come and go and they're all much the same. Some good things. Some bad things. Mrs Thatcher was right for her time. Blair was right for his. You can put the government in Drumnadrochit and wrap a kilt round it but it will still be a few telling the rest of us what to do. The few seem to be getting more and more inept because most of them have never done anything but politics. Watch parliamentary set pieces on the telly and you'll see cringingly ignorant grandstanding. Holyrood is worse than Westminster. And none of it has anything to do with football in general or Rangers in particular.

    The white collar's fine - Tiger Shaw wore one - but the wee stripes are daft.

    If you go to Buckie as a visiting supporter, you're lucky to get out at all.

    I'm sure he'll try. The roadblocks at Banff could be tricky.

    Davie Cooper looked poor and uninterested quite a lot in his early days. Took ages for Super himself to find any kind of form. Most Players need time to develop. Very few step onto the park and look the business from day one and what's more important, keep it up for many more days to follow. Caldow, Scott, Brand and Henderson are examples. Forrest was,another. There are more but I can't recall offhand. A lot of others served their time at QP when that club was performing in the top league. It's easier for young players at other clubs. They can have an outstanding match then a couple of quiet ones before being "rested" without folk moaning that "he's not united/hibbee/killie/class. He gets some more games and gradually develops. That could be McKay but he needs an uncle Scot Symon or a Sergeant Major Jock Walllace to put him right. Probably a combination of the two. Step forward, Ally. Oh dear ..........

    Long ago when I was masquerading as a student the sports club notice boards had a section for Spartans. My ragged memory tells me it was for athletics as well but that could be wrong. I doubt if SFC have any college connection now.

    We'll get Robertson when he doesn't make it with the Hammers.
  17. Scott7
    No. Modern Scots wha aren'ae feart o' the English and don't waste time greetin' about puir auld Scotland.
  18. Scott7
    Only "rebellious" Scots, not ordinary loyal ones.

    Leaf ferry was a Championship run-up specialist. Leaf ferry? See what that predictive text halfwit did there?

    Here's a picture of the offensive tweeter. Goal keeping coach? Doesn't look old enough to find his own way on to the pitch. No City fan has ever heard of him.

    According to his mum on the radio this am. "His dad played for Hibernian and the whole family are big Hibs fans." Good luck to the young man - we all have our troubles in life. I only mention this because he was touted as either a bear or a jambo. I always thought he was hertz because he talks posh like Gorgie folk, 'ken?
  22. Scott7
    What a good idea. I'm sure that Celtic will readily agree. They are a club noted for their generous spirit are they not?
  23. Scott7
    Priceless or £6,000?
  24. Scott7
    I think you're right there, Rab.
  25. Scott7
    I don't think there are any £pivs in that back row.
