I can’t remember Dazzler. One of the Germans? Or Dalziel?

 

Centre half is Johnnie Valentine. Actually, I’m beginning to feel sorry for him. I’ve been excoriating him for more than sixty years. To him and his family I apologise. Still pick him for the worst XI, though.

It shows the benefit of age when you see the likes of Craig Moore, Ian Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, Craig Moore, Mark Hately, Michael Mols, Arthur Numan, etc occupying places in the All Time Rangers Team. All good players certainly, all made big contributions in successful sides but mostly not up to the calibre of some of their predecessors. 

 

Players I'd like to have picked but ran out of places for include

 

Tommy McLean, the best crosser of a ball I ever saw. 

Derek Johnstone, a magnificent header of the ball

Alex McDonald, classic box to box midfield dynamo

Dave Smith, perhaps the most cultured left foot of his generation

Willie Johnston, direct and committed winger 

Davie Cooper, it's all been said before

Jorg Albertz, Mr Freekicks

 

The teams should be picked by the decade it's so unfair to leave some players out 

The worst eleven no doubt there will be some Bobby Dazzlers in that team 

At one time men like George Graham,  Willie Allan even Ernie Walker would have just told the clubs sorry lads but the league's been cancelled these days the so called leaders are scared in case the upset some chairman and clubs were run by a gutless bunch .

And just what age are you , young man , Willie Woodburn, just when did you see him and in what game 

Our dad was home on leave took me and my brother to the old firm game September my birthday was in a few days it was a draw dont remember who scored our goal Johnny Hubbard was also playing as well as a young future captain Eric Caldow not a bad recall for an 80 year old I was going to post my birth certificate as well but there is to much info on that ?

Trying times to take charge I wish him good luck 

BBC Scotland's showing some Scottish cup finals from yesteryear last night it was Hearts v Hibs a feast of mediocrity and bad goalkeeping followed by a documentary on the Lisbon lions I wonder if we will feature in any programme .

Florence.  We can pay homage to Novo's penalty and admire the wonderful architecture (probably a good time to do it as the streets will be quiet).

I was thinking more like Saltcoats 

 we have a virtual bar so why don't we go on a virtual bus run this weekend were will we go and don't forget to pass the hat round for the driver

You don't seem to see the headers nowadays either. I remember Alan Gilzean who never powered a header, just glanced them in. Astle was one of the best as were Ron and Wyn Davies. There was one match in which Scotland beat Wales 5-3 and I think 6 of the goals came from text book headers.

I remember Dundee and Gilzean destroyed us one day at Ibrox five one the beat us 

I wish him well 

1964 Rangers v the hooped horrors quarter final at Ibrox Jim Forrest gave us the lead then wee Wullie Henderson got the ball started his run cut inside and let fly right into the goal the place erupted,  every time the wee man talks about that goal the distance gets further and further out ?

A truly wonderful player 

The champions league and the Europa cup have now been postponed with no final matches taking place British football authorities should follow suit  

I will go with sentiment its 25 years since coop passed away his free kick against Aberdeen was one to behold later on international duty Jim Leighton told him he nearly got his hand to it ,coop replied with a wee smirk on his face , aye on the way back out of the net .

I was watching an old match the other day Derby  v Leeds real tackles going in even a punch up between big Norman Hunter and Francis Lee wee Franny used to have a toilet roll business he would be rolling in it today .

So what we have is a new member of the Ibrox staff is in the orange order what if he was in the buffs or the Hibernian's the Mason s or the rotary club what difference does it make thank goodness we didn't have social media when Mo signed. 

Give the new man a chance  .

Question for the non drinkers here.

 

If alcohol was proven to fend off the virus, would you start drinking ?

I have a small collection of about sixty bottles given as gifts so I wont have to go panic buying ?

Looks like Athletico Madrid are interested in our striker if reports are to be believed  .

What kind of crisps have you got behind the bar 

A contracts a contract and I would never take any pay cut 

Irn bru in a straight tumbler no ice .
