Ahah!


EC - Celtic won it so good competition

UEFA - Celtic got to final so good cup

CWC - ...


I see where you're going with this but at least I'm up front about my bias


EC - for league WINNERS

CWC - for cup WINNERS

UEFA cup - the rest

I may remember watching that but a but vague. Beating Anderlecht and on penalties. Can't remember the goalkeeper, was he a stand in hero ? Remember Brian Moore commenting I think.

That was the UEFA Cup, Mac. The second time we won it. Tony Parkes was the reserve goalie (currently a goalkeeping coach at Spurs) who was the hero.


We were the first British club to win a European trophy by winning the Cup Winners' Cup in '63 by beating Athletico Madrid 5-1 in the final. I doubt you'll remember that.

They did indeed, but I was talking about how they've missed him overall, not just that game. In the same way we missed him for 7 of the 8 seasons he was with us.

Its a bit hard to be gracious when you have a perfectly good goal chalked off, although Pardew is a tool.

Morrison was full of potential when he was at United and they launched out of the door. Not sure he will ever fulfil the expectations that his formers employers had.

I'm going for - unstable but potentially top talent - needs manager who leans towards flair and creativity in his approach to the game to bring out the best - not gonna get that at Upton Park, might get it under Meulensteen then move on to a bigger club after a season or two.


But maybe that's just me and my unreasonable anti- big, lovable, good-old, bluff, honest, down-to-earth, I-say-what-I-like-and-I-like-what-I-blooody-well-say Samuel Allardyce.

Can't say I've heard that one, it's not appeared on any of the fans blogs or websites.

Rangers head for Administration again?? Will we ever get to play them again?



Rangers players refuse to accept 15% wage cut following crisis meeting at Murray Park


SHOCKED players booted out chief executive Graham Wallace's demands to accept the pay cut after the squad was gathered at the club's training ground by boss Ally McCoist.


RANGERS chief executive Graham Wallace's shock demands for Ibrox stars to accept a 15% wage cut was booted out by stunned players after a dressing room crisis meeting today at Murray Park.


It's understood the Gers squad was called together by boss Ally McCoist before he bowed out and left the talking to skipper Lee McCulloch.


Wallace has decided drastic action is needed to prevent the runaway League One leaders lurching towards administration before the end of the campaign, despite a ?22 million cash injection just 13 month ago under a share issue promoted by departed chief executive Chrles Green.

Quite right too, why should they accept a cut? They are not the cause of the mire that Rangers find themselves in.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
