Academically Deficient Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Think so. Looks like the pre-refurb Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a Clyde fan who was still bitter that they were once denied a place in Europe due to some arcane UEFA rule that limited the number of teams from a city to 2 in any given year. Given that the whole world (or people from Lanarkshire. Same thing) know they come from Ruglen this is either: 1. A profound injustice 2. Untrue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were deemed to be a Glasgow team and our place was given to Dundee IIRC. It was downhill thereafter Clyde finished third, which is their highest ever league placing. Clyde did not qualify for Europe, however, because Rangers finished second and took the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup place.

Academically Deficient Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Profound injustice it is then. It would have been some sight, Benfica or internazionale pitching up at the Kings Park hotel. Away fans in the the Main St. Shawfield under the midweek lights in a glamour European game. Sorry if I'm making this worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm making this worse. Yes, you are. I think of the film Sliding Doors - where would we be now had we gotten a European run. Finances would have been very different, maybe attracted better players and crucially not been caught below the cut-off for the SPL in 1974, thereby maintaining our place in the top 10 at the time. Cue a comment about my auntie and balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academically Deficient Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 On the theme of impersonating your way to success, here are 2 of the kits worn by The Pride of Lanarkshire in 2007-08. As they powered their way to unstoppable success in league, cup and European arenas, their opponents were clearly intimidated by their resemblance to Argentina and Brazil. The following season they extended the theme by wearing the Netherlands kit. The cunning plan was foiled when they gave one of them to Marvin Andrews and told him to play centre half. And thus the spell was broken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
