  1. Went to the shop at Ibrox yesterday when I was up in Glasgow looked rather busy with plenty of tops being sold .

    My only disappointment was this new social/museum they are building why are the builders taking so long, some arses are needing kicked

    Never saw him play except on newsreel but read plenty and heard radio commentaries on the international matches (Peter Thomson and Raymond Glendenning) Your uncle was always rated in the press reports. Got his caps when other inside forward options were available - Steel, Hamilton, Turnbull, Wardhaugh, Johnstone. Wealth of talent and none played for Rangers or celtic.
     

    Scored against Rangers in East Fife’s League Cup semi-final victory. Every family has its black sheep.

    Think he managed a team to win the English fourth division

    As I posted the other day, it's all about context.

     

    Shelbourne were/are a part-time team and we were always going to finish that game the stronger. Two penalties also helped and it was the new manager's first game.  It was also the start of a new season and a new era with a side full of new players.

     

    The Hibs game was markedly different. Gerrard had just left, we'd conceded a penalty for one of the Hibs goals and we were all over the shop at the back. Our incoming new manager was in the stand as opposed to the dug out. It was late November and we'd turned in some poor performances already that season. We were there for the taking...

     

    Again, I think Goldson's comments were still ill-advised but, in the context of that game, I can see why confidence was low that we could turn it around. 

     

    Now, if we were 0-3 down against Dunfermline in our first League Cup tie of last season in August and the lad had said that I'd have been much more concerned. 

     

    As much as football players are paid a lot of money (far too much in some cases) to play a game of sport, that doesn't mean they're infallible either mentally or physically. Mistakes happen on and off the pitch so I'd treat these comments as an error made in the heat of the moment and I'd interpret them in that Goldson felt that game was gone that one time NOT that any deficit in another game couldn't be clawed back.  There is a fairly clear difference there... 

    basically we were crap that day .
