Does Gio say anything different to what he said in the presser posted by Ian 15 hours ago ?

UEFA rejects requests from Chelsea, Manchester City and Rangers to play national anthem before Champions League matches

 

Chelsea, Manchester City and Rangers are understood to have requested to play God Save the King following a period of silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, but UEFA confirms that no anthems will be played before Wednesday's Champions League fixtures

 

UEFA has rejected requests from Chelsea, Manchester City and Rangers to play the national anthem before Wednesday's Champions League matches.

 

The three British clubs are understood to have made requests to play God Save the King following a period of silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

 

However, it is understood some supporters will defy this move, with Rangers fans expected to pay tribute to The Queen and sing the anthem before kick-off at Ibrox.

Could do with a more motivational tune for this game. 

 

The French and the Welsh home crowd knock out belters prior to the six Nations games.

....but in the second leg, Hibs opened the scoring after only 5 minutes past a young Dino Zoff, who would go on to pick the ball out of the net on four more occasions. Hibs went through 6-4

Hibs had Pat Stanton, Peter Cormack and a fellow, Colin Stein, playing for them that night. Also Father Pat Quinn and Alex Scott’s brother Jim. @compowill remember them well.

Goalscorers that night

Duncan, Quinn, Cormack, Stanton and Colin Stein.

 

Stein had scored their solitary goal in Italy. He would also score their only goal in a 2-1 aggregate defeat to an excellent Leeds team.

 

Leeds would then knock us out in the Quarters, 2-0 agg.

Dundee in the semi's, 2-1 agg.

 

Before lifting the Inter Cities Fairs Cup against Ferencvaros.

 

Not much in the way of air miles for Leeds to win that trophy.

Of course, but something happened recently.

 

I don't know if you've heard?

A stat following on from above post.

 

Younger readers will be amazed to read that BOTH Dundee clubs have not only played in the European Cup (once each).

 

Sit down, but have BOTH reached the semi final of said European Cup.

 

BOTH beaten by Italians (AC Milan & Roma)

 

We got to one old EC semi-final in about 13 attempts (Eintracht, 1960). Not good enough. 

 

 

So does that mean Scotland have more cities than England that have two clubs who reached a EC semi-final ?

 

Glasgow, Dundee

London

Manchester. Both United and City have made the final. 

Can't think of many other countries that have 2 cities with 2 semi finalists. Neither Torino nor Lazio have reached the last 4, so just Milan with 2 clubs, Espanyol haven't so just Madrid in Spain, Boavista haven't so just Lisbon from Portugal. Can't think what German cities have 2 strong sides, Berlin certainly hasn't had 2 semi finalists and 1860 Munich haven't reached the semi final.

In City’s case it’s the CL not the EC.

 

Pernickety but buster’s like that.
