Battle of Janefield after some meaningless old firm game, Aberdeen having already won the league. Mounted polis chased the casuals and ploughed right into the crowd. Was a big story at the time.

There's even a wiki about it!  http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/The+Janefield+Street+'Riot'+(1985)

I'd started work for Xerox and was living in Hoxton Sq at the time so didn't start commuting up to Rangers' games for another couple of years...

Tbf, i left about 10 minutes to go and never knew anything about it until the next day. Completely unrelated i was a witness to an accident on the way home (old buddy ran over) at the other end of Glasgow and the case continued on and off for about 2 years. Ended up in court to be told the old buddy had passed away and the case was dropped. About 5 years later i was working with this fella, think i know this guy, after a few weeks the penny dropped, haud oan, this was the driver that ran over the pensioner, that night stuck in my mind for decades.

What the Hell was that?

I need to know details.

A desperate attempt by Lambert to boost his flagging Wycombe career.  He decided to play the idiot card and try and boost crowds by  holding a Celtic day at Adams Park.   No idea how it went as I never returned to Adams Park and never will.  Lambert was subsequently sacked and the club went in to free-fall.  No idea if they are related.

Jesus.

Lambert is clearly a half-wit and despite the omnishambles surrounding it all, I'm hugely relieved that he's not Scotland manager.  What exactly did this 'Celtic Day' consist of though?  I'm horribly fascinated.

Lest we forget..........????

RANGERS will become the first club in Britain to build a stadium boasting a retractable roof and hovering pitch.

 

The new Ibrox – which will cost £280million – will be based on Japan’s Sapporo Dome, Holland’s Amsterdam ArenA and Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and is part of a £750m village development earmarked for Govan.

 

When complete in 2012, it will generate millions of pounds every season for the club to buy top players and be more competitive with Premiership clubs in the transfer market.

 

Supporters will virtually be able to “raise the roof” of the new project, as it will open and close depending on the weather and functions being held inside the auditorium.

 

The blueprint allows for football and other sports to be played around the clock and with the pitch capable of being rotated in and out of the ground itself, rock concerts and other major events can be hosted without any damage to the grass.

 

Giant heaters and air conditioning units will ensure spectators will be in a constant comfort zone and matches will never again be cancelled because of under-foot conditions.

 

are at an advanced stage and funding is in place for the six-star stadium, which would become the second-biggest club ground in the UK after Manchester United’s Old Trafford.

 

A capacity of around 70,000 is planned – 20,000 higher than the current full house, 10,000 more than at Celtic Park and 17,000 above the limit at Hampden.

 

Last night an Ibrox insider revealed the project could start within 18 months with a two-year build programme anticipated.

 

He said: “This is a very exciting and ambitious scheme which will totally revitalise the area.

 

Not only will it benefit the team, and the club in general, but the whole south side of the city will be transformed.’’

 

Fantabulousness off the radar.......[emoji851]????[emoji149][emoji149]
