    You're right. Leaving Roker was the start of the downfall. But at one time they, like Everton later, Sunderland were called the Bank of England Club. Lavish spending of the income from huge crowds in the days when the turnstyle was the only revenue source.

    It's got to be said, he was a footballer you would pay to watch but he is never going to hack it as a manager. Management by volcano the chairman at Swindon said. But there's something about Sunderland. A once mighty club in decline. Bruce and O'Neil both with some management credentials failed there.

    "i think he meant cut of his chib in fairness." BOOM BOOM!

    Cannae spell jib.

    My good old 1950s reefer still sits in the wardrobe. There was an expensive version of it in silk with the crest motive repeated and for the toffs there was a blue silk number, no red and white, just the crest repeated in gold.

    I've said this many times. The best strip is the post-war Tiger Shaw outfit, the runner-up is the Jim Baxter 1963 V neck. I don't hold with all the modern namby-pamby Jessie blouses.

    "I've just signed it again,again and again" Is that not a bit of a timmish practice?

    What kind of team did the hiberenians put out? Hope it was their top XI.

    JG should have been encouraged to do the same as McNeill and AF and gone to Falkirk or Thistle then taken a step up to Hearts before the big job. He used to be the "expert" in BBC radio commentaries. Instead of burbling inanities like eg Billy Dodds or Derek Ferguson he would be fairly quiet then say something like "I can see a goal coming soon down Motherwell's left side" He would then go on to give his reasoning and as often as not it would happen as predicted. He could certainly read a game.

    I wouldn't be a Rangers supporter if I wasn't ready to grumble but if ever there was a day to bury the 7 - 1 aberration that was it.

    "Little known fact, Henderson and McMillan didn't play that often together, probably a season and a half. It was mostly Alex Scott on the right with Ian inside.m" True. Pity the substitute rule wasn't available then. Imagine starting with Scott or Henderson and the other on the bench. Full back's nightmare. And Rangers could probably have kept Billy Stevenson to come on for Greig or Baxter. Here's a Scottish international team from that era and not a Ranger or a Celt in it: Brown, Hamilton, Cox (all Dundee) Cumming (Hearts) Ure (Dundee/Arsenal) McKay (Hearts) Smith (Hibs/Hearts/Dundee) White (Falkirk/'Spurs) Young (Hearts) Gilzean (Dundee/'Spurs) Robertson (Dundee) Plenty more to pick from - Slater, Parker (Falkirk) Martis, McCann, Weir, Hunter, Quinn, St John (M'well) Herd (Clyde/Arsenal) Glen, Leggatt, Buckley (Aberdeen) Hilley, Harley and Gray (Thirds) and Joe Baker of the Hibs. OK he was born in England but he talked like a Scotsman and played football like one. Today's guys are fitter and faster but they don't have the talent of the old fellas.

    Cost of gems? Priceless. That Dundee final was superb a football match. Dundee were terrific. Rangers a wee bit better than terrific although McMillan had finished by then.

    Twenty minutes of McMillan worth more than ninety minutes of most others. If there had been substitutes in those days would you play him from the start and take him off after an hour or would you wait 'til the opposition was a bit tired and then bring him on for the final destruction? How I remember the slide rule passes for the flyer Scott to race onto. Moravzcyk the nearest comparison of modern times.

    DF's not that kind of lawyer.

    Whyte can have no claim on Rangers. In his wildest dreams he may have a personal claim against Green and the shafters but I can't see how a Court would reduce the transfer from the old company to the new one and clawback the assets.

    Rab. You said it. "Former labour Cabinet Minister" The Government for the last three years has been Tory- ish. You might be right about LBG but Reid is a busted flush.

    Stood at about the halfway line three quarters of the way up the terracing. Plenty of Dundee supporters, plenty of good natured banter and sensible discussion. As Rangers did their lap of honour the air above the MF end seemed to shimmer with the noise. Sixty thousand blue-scarved fanatics, the Daily Telegraph called them.

    I remember bowler hat day as though it were yesterday. Belter of a game. Dundee superb. 'Gers even better. Quite liked the stripes.

    "wher are the blue knights go on get in there and fill yer boots its there for the taking " Yep. The BTC is away in the long grass and LNS saved the SPL penalty kick.

    Forlan posted yesterday - I can't remember which thread - evidence of recent large scale borrowing from their bank.

    Green fascism triumphs again. One of their stormtroopers grumbles and decent folk give in.
  22. Scott7
    Wow! Have they put the family silver on E-bay as well?
  23. Scott7
    Dire. Name the bigot.

    If Dermott Desmond owned the Rangers it would surely mean that he had turned and we must always welcome sinners to their redemption.
  25. Scott7
    Tell us your fears. No need to bear them on your own. Second liquidation? My own view? More perilous than this time last year. The respite provided by the BTC and LNS rulings has dissipated with colossal damage to reputation. Perpetual Crisis Club.
