Aye, as if making a baws of a post has ever stopped anyone.  Something you're familiar with.

Anyway, apparently 30 years to the day since a future Dundee and Rangers player knocked Brazil out of Italia 90:

1974 and 1978 were very frustrating tournaments for Scotland but my take is that 1990 was about the most frustrating.  We had a terrific squad but, in true style, we fucked it up vs Costa Rica:

Memories of Italia 90 anyone?

Serious question for older fans in here. I’ve just watched a  few YouTube Pathé News videos of cup finals from the 50’s and Rangers are referred to as “Ibrox” on loads of occasions by the voice over guy. He did speak BBC English from that period and not sure if he just had no idea who he was commentating on, although he did also call Aberdeen “The Dons” loads of time, so he obviously had some knowledge. So were Rangers ever known as “Ibrox” in these good old days?

I look at a lot of old newspaper match reports and stuff like that when I'm researching old results, and I have never seen them described as "Ibrox".

It means we've signed another keeper after Fotheringham and Alnwick have left.
I thought Rangers had signed Hladky aswell then realised that was just rumours.

There was a good documentary on Channel 4 recently about Maradona's time playing for Napoli.  1990 is the first world cup I remember, so I wasn't really aware of how his comments around how Napoli fans should support Argentina versus Italy destroyed his career with them (obviously not the only factor though!).

Signed a young lad from Ross Country.

@RFC_Youth are delighted to announce the signing of James Graham from Ross County. While there was interest from a number of top English clubs, the 16 year-old striker has opted to choose Rangers as the place to continue his footballing development

I, of course, had to search for this and, to my shock, you are absolutely right:

For those watching in black and white the brown ball was put through the red team's goal by the player in blue.

But to answer your question...never ever heard us called 'Ibrox'.

Just wondering if I can detect a hint of an American accent there, underneath the RP? Just a theory.
