wunfellaff Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ibrox Disaster MemorialThis bronze sculpture stands at the Edmiston Drive façade of Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. It represents Rangers legend John Greig, voted the greatest ever Rangers player and the team captain on the day of the infamous Ibrox Disaster of 1971.Towards the final whistle of a match between Rangers and their great rivals Celtic, a late equalising goal for Rangers led to a crowd surge on stairwell 13 and in the ensuing tragedy 66 people lost their lives, with 140 injured. To mark the 30th anniversary of this terrible occasion Rangers Football Club commissioned a commemorative sculpture which could act as a focal point for the grief felt by the bereaved.http://www.scottsculptures.co.uk/theworks/ibrox So the feck what? Doesn't say "commissioned , designed or made" with that purpose in mind. Considering he then sucked at the teet for decades with the men responsible for the coverup/whitewash, it is indeed appropriate what his "nickname" is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 He's probably frantically googling as we speak so he can impress us with his knowledge of how the Jesuits poisoned the ambulance horses to prevent them helping out in 1902. ETA: The folk killed in 1961 probably thought that was pretty disastrous, as well. As I said above, I wasn't au fait with the whole thing, having assumed the 1971 event was one of those unforeseen, unavoidable disasters. Can anyone tell me if Wikipedia has got it all wrong, or were there plenty of pointers that this could have been avoidable? In September 1961, a crush of fans on stairway 13 killed two people and injured scores of others. This same stairway was the site of eight serious injuries at a match in September 1967 and 24 more injuries in January 1969. Still, no design or safety changes had been made to the stairway by the time the Rangers played a home match against Celtic on January 2, 1971, in front of 80,000 fans. It confirms the cause was the sheer number of exiting supporters pouring down a stairwell which was too steep and not wide enough to hold them. After one person slipped, others fell and bodies piled up in a confined space. Many of the dead were found lying packed together. The weight was so great that the life had been squeezed out of them and most of their shoes had been torn off. Rangers were not held responsible for the disaster but didn't come out of it exactly smelling of roses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotbawmad Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Only started to build my "bears not to win their division" retirement fund last weekend. It was interesting. Gers are 750/1 on, yet only 33/1 against. (paddyps prices). Bookies taking no chances re them winning it yet skinny odds on not. I think at some stage last year, it was 250/1 on with 66/1 against. Looks like they think there is a fair chance of them going tits up Aye, Dunfermline might be worth a punt with Sevco suffering a points deduction next year.

Burma Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-24181481 Either they have something very big to hide or they are totally incompetent. Although arent Sevco Scotland now known as something else? Is this item suggesting that Sevco Scotland still exists and is actually the parent/holding company (with Chuckles and Dusky and.......as the shareholders) of the new rangers company? Anyone clear that up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt it strange how when they disappear, they ALL disappear (The_ & Youngsy excluded). And yet when one posts they are almost immediately backed up a horde of orcs (is that the correct collective?).
