  1. It was leaked around April time, I think during a Scotland squad for a friendly or something so,rather than have it splashed all over the tabloids Rangers announced it there and then, rather than hang around till the end of the season Jock Wallace walked immediately and I'm sure Alex Totten took charge for the remainder of the season.
  2. If that Liverpool equaliser/own goal by Arsenal had gone in up here in Scotland you can rest assure fucking bell ends like Jamie O'Hara, Jason Cundy and Danny Murphy et al would be discussing it with glee as an example of how our game up here is a pub league etc and worthy of nothing more than ridicule. One of the most comical bits of defending and hilarious own goals I've seen in some time at any level of the game.
  3. Stopped watching this a few years ago when I realised Alan Sugar was a racist arsehole, plus the formula and the tasks got repetitive and boring, not to mention the fact at least half the candidates have no interest or hope of winning and are merely there to be on telly, get noticed on social media and carve out some form of career in the media. Think I gave up after the series where the winner was some daft brainless bint who had the novel and groundbreaking business plan of selling a mixed bag of Pick & Mix sweets in a sellofane wrapper with a bow on it, charging something like a tenner for about a pounds worth of sweets, incredibly the daft old racist thought that was worthy of a quarter of a million pounds investment
  4. Dylan Levitt looked a cracking player at Dundee United, what has happened for him to regress so much the last 12 months or so?
  5. Italia 90, and Ireland's penalty shoot out heroes from their round of 16 victory over Romania, David O'Leary and Packie Bonner train in the Olympic Stadium in Rome ahead of their quarter final against Italy which they would lose 1-0 to a goal by Toto Schillaci, Bonner being badly at fault for the goal in said match. High profile errors in big games from Bonner was something us Celtic fans were used to in that era Posters around my age and older may recall David O'Leary's younger brother , Pierce being a Celtic team mate of Bonner in the mid 1980's for a couple of years.
  6. I only discovered earlier, purely by chance that the recently deceased Frederic Cooper, who played 'Chef' in Apocalypse Now was also the Nazi racist nutcase Surplus Store owner in Falling Down who's prize possession is an empty tin of Zyklon B and takes great pleasure wondering aloud to Michael Douglas how many Jews it would have killed.
  7. Vaguely remember him being in Saving Private Ryan but I particularly recall him being in 7EVEN, the guy who is made to wear a strap on/blade codpiece type contraption by Kevin Spacey and do the hooker with it, naturally gouging her to death with it.... you don't actually see him do it, just the aftermath and his horror at describing being made to do it with a gun at his head, an absolutely horrific scene that is all about the mental imagery.
  8. Think you may be confusing me with someone who gives a f**k.
  9. I was driving back from a weekend in Liverpool that day, game was played around lunchtime on the Sunday I seem to recall, had the radio on in the car and the absolute fucking meltdowns and collective heads gone from the BBC Five Live team was truly something to behold.
  10. Investment to make them the 3rd biggest club in Scottish football and challenge for the title you say? When do the 87 players come in on loan from Kaunas then?
  11. Pittodrie will clearly not be like our visit in the basking sunshine in August so will be wrapped up like a murdered hitch hiker dumped in a rolled up carpet down a motorway embankment by a lorry driver. Aberdeen boss Barry Robson is increasingly coming under pressure from the fans after some pretty terrible league results and performances this season, bizarrely enough they were only a dubious injury time penalty away from doing the double over the ****, that and the run to the league cup final and a respectable European campaign have just about kept him in the hot seat. Normally a match against Celtic is the last thing he would want especially given their dismal record against us in recent years but, to say we have been inconsistent this season is putting it mildly, a few excellent performances mixed in with some pretty average and pretty dismal fair have been the story of our season. This will go one of two ways, either an absolutely honking performance like last week against Ross County giving Aberdeen at least a point or we will trounce them by three or four.... which Celtic will turn up? Not even attempting to predict this one
  12. Even the 1986 squad, if you look at the players who DIDN'T make it was pretty special and under achieved, although we were in a group of death with Ze Germans, Denmark and Uruguay.. Among those who didn't travel to Mexico were, Mo Johnston, Brian McClair, Ally McCoist, Alan Hansen, Ray Stewart, Pat Nevin, John Robertson (Hearts version) Andy Gray and Eric Black.... all top players in top form at the time. I'm still raging at Steve Nicol's silly fucking side foot effort to miss that absolute fucking sitter in the last game against Uruguay who played 89 minutes with ten men and arguably could have had another four or five red cards, promping Ernie Walker to call them 'the scum of World football' .... an incredibly blunt and controversial statement for the head of a national association to make about another country and, one which would doubtful be tolerated today, even though it was 100% correct. I often wonder if the referee didn't send off any of the other Uruguay players for their animal like behaviour because he may have thought he was a bit hasty with that first minute red card.
  13. Marco Van Basten and Ruud Gullit being interviewed after scoring the goals in The Netherlands 2-0 win over the USSR in the final of Euro 88, poignantly and ironically played in the same stadium, the Olympistsdion in Munich where the Dutch had lost the 1974 World Cup final to hosts West Germany. Beyond mental that this is the only major international honour for a country synonymous with producing incredible players and coaches.
  14. 31 year old George Best making his final international appearance for Northern Ireland against The Netherlands in 1977, a 1-0 defeat at Windsor Park
  15. Steve Archibald from that squad also won the 1984 UEFA Cup with Tottenham as did Alan Brazil who won it as well with Ipswich Town in, I think 81 ?
  16. Brazil and Argentina drew 0-0 in this second group phase match in 1978 meaning, it came down to who scored the biggest win against Peru for a place in the final, the host nation having the benefit of playing last knowing how many goals they needed, nearly 50 years on there are still accusations of skullduggery and bribes as Argentina rattled six without reply against the Peruvians who it has been opined were less than 'up for it' .
  17. Contrasting emotions for the goalkeepers, Taffarel and Pagliuca at the end of the 1994 World Cup final penalty shoot out where Brazil edged out Italy .
  18. 1966 Scottish Cup final replay, won by a solitary goal by Rangers Danish full back Kai Johansen. The King's Park/Celtic end terrace in the background was, at that time the largest 'end terrace' in the world.
  19. Scotland line up in Israel on a friendly on this day in 1986, judging by the background it's clear the fixture has failed to capture the imagination of the locals. Eamonn Bannon scored the only goal of the game.
  20. Scotland going down 4-1 to Brazil in 1982 at Malaga in the World Cup.
  21. I have zero sympathy for any Tory in any scenario, however unfortunate or tragic the circumstances because each and every one of them are utter fucking scumbags.
  22. No Hard Feelings. Jennifer Lawrence is actually a pretty decent comedy actress, first time I've really noticed her in this type of role and she pulls it off quite well. Some of the jokes are a bit forced and predictable but some of the one liners and ad libs from the supporting cast are decent in fairness. Also J-Law is insanely smoking hot throughout, the phrase 'Till it fell off' springs to mind.
  23. Had Five Live on the radio in the car there when I popped out for something to eat, West Brom fan phoned in, that baldy guy covered in blood was a sole Wolves fan in the WBA end who went fucking mental when they scored, giving it the GIRFUY to the home fans when they scored, can't decide if he's a legend or a fucking maniac
