Two down one to go can city emulate Compo and get a treble who had a 9/2 8/1 and a 4/1 treble at Epsom 

English cup final a bit closer than ours with the horrors at 1/14 while the other team is 20/1

Here on Gersnet, we have replicated events of  Autumn 1976.

 

After the Treble winning season of 1975-'76, the Rangers support looked forward enormously to season 1976-'77. We had a temporary problem at centre back and Jock Wallace contacted his old Army buddy and Southampton Gaffer, Laurie McMenemy for a solution? The Saints had just won the FA Cup with a Scot at centre half, Jim Steele. Edinburgh born'n'bred, he had made his name at Dundee along side other wonderful names, Ian Philip, John Duncan, Jocky Scott, Gordon Wallace, ....... etc.

 

We signed BIG Jim on loan for a month and, he played all six games. His English earned reputation as a real hard man of the game proceeded him. Remember, this was the English football of Chopper Harris and Jack Charlton. Jim was cautioned in everyone of those five games where we won one, drew four and, lost one. We went from Treble Champions to poor also rans.

 

I was a member of two RSCs, one was reasonably near to home , Tannochside Loyal; the other was because attending University meant living in the west end, Partick Loyal. I attended both clubs end of season Player of the Year dance and the winner at both(and at least another dozen) was Jim Steele because he cared for the jersey, staunchly booked in every match - real commitment. Malik Tillman and Jim Steele, one of a kind.

 

Those other names from that Dundee side, I loved John Duncan, went to Spurs and became top scorer. My pick was Ian Philip, he could play anywhere in defence. He had a season at Crystal Palace in the old First Division, played every game and won the Club's Player of the Year. He returned to Dundee after a season because of homesickness. I would have loved to have seen Ian in Rangers blue.

 

 

Steele by name Steele by nature my kind of player I think Jock was contemplating making offers for Narey or Hegerty but tight arse Waddle wouldn't have it tight as a coat of paint was deddle 

Looking like Barasic and Colak could be on the way

We could just replace it with whatever we can afford.

 

Maybe a wee modern pavilion for all the old timers.

A tea stall 

Sakala even his misses are spectacular

Can’t see it. Presume Brenda will still be getting paid his exorbitant Leicester salary.

If he took the yahoos job I’d expect it would be taking a massive drop in salary & giving up the Leicester salary.

 

then there was the yahoos who broke into his house in bearsden b4 he left …😳

not sure he’d want that again 

I don’t think he needs the money 

Looks like if Ange does go to Spurs then we might see Brendan Rodger’s back at paradise now that would be interesting 🤔 .

It’s always a pity when the dream of young players is shattered 

I have been closely following the building of the stand extension at Anfield and the building of new Everton stadium both looking very impressive I've always fancied getting the main stand at Ibrox replaced by a modern up to date structure but we could never afford it when I read that the Anfield extension is costing around £190 million

Philip Schofield in disguise 

Back three back four wing backs call them what you want as long as they can defend

The Convenor of Glasgow City Council, Susan Aitken has arrived at the party. Her Policy Advisor, Gerry Braiden has removed the chains from the Meatloaf tribute act. Three days after events, Susan is in a grievous state of mind. Mass vandalism and outbreaks of violence in the city centre has raised her dander to a bat out of hell comment, "the actions of the supporters were beyond tolerable". I suspect Gerry gave her that line?

 

Beyond tolerable - you took the words right out of my mouth.

 

I know how it feels Susan. Remember, you got elected and took control of the Council. The very first thing was regeneration of the city centre, specifically Trongate and Saltmarket. You spent  on average, £50,000 per retail unit on several dozen old Council owned shop spaces. Then, you had a lottery for the first dozen to receive a peppercorn rent of £1 per year for the next five years. The first name out of the hat was Gordon Archer, he wanted two units for an art exhibition space. Yep, that Gordon Archer, the one recently banned from running companies for six years because he transferred £400,000 from Lake District Biogas in the week before it went bankrupt. You know Gordon, the Hibs season ticket holder?

 

 It's beyond believable, Gordon is your husband.

 

Get the band back into the studio and record, 'Beyond Tolerable'. Oh and Susan, you don't have to snort every line Gerry feeds you - two out of three ain't bad.

 

 

I believe fat Sussie just said her husband’s behaviour was just a technical issue

What position does he play 

According to reports the promotion of Luton is worth £170 million to them it’s said they will need to shell out around £10 million to make their stadium acceptable but all said and done it’s a nice little earner 

About time he was blackballed 

Just how much do you think our present players could sell for in today’s transfer market start with Saturdays team and put a price tag on each one of them .

Pull them aside and ask them Rangers or Scotland it can’t be both after all what’s the SFA ever done for us and these players are treated like shit when they go abroad all the best seats on the plane and best rooms in hotels go to the top brass and let’s face it only a prize idiot would think they could do well in a tournament.

Pochettino has signed a two year contract at the bridge the club needs a good clear out

Not PL, but it's the League One Play-Off Final today.

 

Barnsley vs Josh Windass' team. 

Mon Josh 🇬🇧

All someone has to do is phone Clarke and say the two lads have a tight hamstring end of story big Stein did it for years 

Leeds United always talked of as a giant we’ll even giants can fail just ask Goliath

Southhampton a team that’s produced lots of fine players but can’t seem to hold on to them for any length of time 

And Leicester champions only seven seasons back probably their biggest mistake was removing Rodger’s I think he would have kept them in the premiership, but the big question is can all three get promoted back to the top table next season 

If Colak can keep his fitness could he do a job up front 

Maybe there will be a coaching position then again maybe he will get the heave ho
