Brashy's Boots Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 More mental is pondering exactly how many “events” you’ve seen and which actually “changed” things worldwide. For instance, for me: COVID-19 - Duh 9/11 - Yep, changed lots Dunblane - Nope, but influential in U.K. Desert Shield/Storm - Yep, repercussions still being felt Lockerbie - Perhaps, somewhat changed air travel Fall of Berlin Wall - Yep, presaged the collapse of the U.S.S.R. Challenger explosion - Nope, only influential in the U.S. Falklands War - Nope, limited influence, mainly in U.K. and South America Shooting of Pope John Paul II - Nope U.S. Embassy evacuation in Saigon - Somewhat, reduced U.S. world stature Apollo moon landing - Yep, changed the world And that’s but a selection of things that jump out. The major items fall about 10-20 years apart.You don't half come away with some pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboflem Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Think last week emotionally was a tough one with the Vaughan and Tait double whammy of news. Both tough for differing reasons. Think the multitude of announcements now made about Tait was to try put out some of the flames of uproar most of us were generating. The Vaughan one is still upsetting, was saying to my mates there isn't many players at other clubs around who's injury status would generate a 10 minute manager interview for the teams website. Such is his stature at RRFC! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I feel a bit happier about the Tait transfer though I'm not happy that our player was tapped. If we achieved more that the £100-115K quoted than we should move on. I think that we donated about £170K last season & continue to donate 000's per month. Pratt Street needs to remember that in its actions. We are fans & also customers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you probably know, Celtic asked Rangers to get away fans in to the last Old Firm. Rangers said they'd do this on the condition Celtic would guarantee that away fans would be allowed in Parkhead. Celtic said they couldn't do that so Rangers, and I can't believe I'm writing this, told them rightfully to f**k off. By giving away fans tickets in our game, it opens up other clubs to pester them. It's absolutely daft that it's allowed to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t let any Rangers fans in due to Covid but here’s 50,000 from the rest of Scotland / ROI / NI / England etc no like Celtic fans are all from East Glasgow. You might be right, SFA, SPFL need to grow a set and sort them both out but it’ll never happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think any away fan, in the league, has seen a match at Celtic Park since the end of the 19/20 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev23 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 We won't. Can almost guarantee it. I think we will. The reason, I believe, teams haven’t received an away allocation is because they simply don’t have seats to do so. They’ve had to move season ticket holders seats to allow for a ‘red zone’. This game won’t be on the season ticket, and it won’t near sell out, so there isn’t much reason for them not offering us some tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboflem Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 hadn't realised there had been no away fans at Celtic Park. Was looking forward to the shite view the away end offers. Closest stadium in the country to me, easily walkable. Will debate sitting in as a home fan and just try sit on my hands to not applaud our goals flowing in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This area is a large red zone with the tickets being offered in the gods. I don't expect it to be an issue for our game as its not on a season ticket 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 League table looks a bit better after that. Add in the League Cup quarter final and we can be pretty satisfied. Aside from a 20 minutes clusterfuck against Hamilton, Bene and Berra have been very, very good together. 6 clean sheets in 9 games. Even the goals lost against Inverness and Aberdeen were quality strikes that were difficult to defend. Still very early days but credit McGlynn for the performances of Berra and Zanatta at the moment. Most of us were critical or at best, unsure of the signings. However, the two of them have been excellent so far. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
