Was just pointing out that very few games end @ 90 minutes.

Wish I'd been there.


English football stronger - depends on the era, look back a bit further.

My favourite visit to Parkhead was back in '88 when they won the league in their centenary year, so there was a real party atmosphere. Celtic were playing Dundee, who only brought a couple of hundred fans with them. Despite their small numbers, with segregation there were large gaps of empty terracing, meaning the official capacity that day was supposed to be only around 50,000+. But with thousands more Celtic fans outside wanting to get in, the police eventually told the Dundee fans that they had to leave for safety concerns. After jeering them as they left, the away end soon filled up with Celtic fans. The official attendance for that game was given as the ground capacity of 60,800, but there must have been about 70-75,000 in the ground by kick-off time, total sardine time but a fantastic atmosphere. You can spot me in the video, I'm the one not singing YNWA... ;-)

I've got 'wall down for a draw, and I think they will win the replay, is that enough to get me a snog around the back of the bike sheds?..

Thanks for clearing that up Mick. I suspected you were a Latin scholar!

Lennon writing to UEFA to get clarification?!!! Oh wow - has he ever lost a game without complaining in one way or another?

He must have forgotten the very, very dodgy penalty awarded to Samaras that got them into the last 16.

Ah the highs and lows of my short time in Glasgow.


I also went to Scotland vs Belgium in a European Championship qualifier late '83 after Scotland had already been knocked out.


12,000 attendance on a bitterly cold night. In a previous era Hampden had had 140,000 plus. Now one side of the ground and one end closed due to safety reasons (it was falling down). I remember the press area came out of the roof of a stand. Weird stuff. And I think the urinals were outside against a wall or perhaps that was a story from somebody else.


There was secretarian self segregation with the DoBs in one set of terracing and the Fenians in the other. Both terms of endearment from people I met at Strathclyde Uni. someone else can explain.

    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
