Did you know JCM was the only scientist of whom Albert Einstein had a photo up on his desk? Had he not been taken too early he might well have reached relativity first. Anyway you can thank our idiotic board for closing the academy and losing g talented guys like him. 1. I did. Our physics teach at school was a big JCM nut and would mention him a fair bit. 2. Didn't know that he was one of your own. What do you players of his calibre do now in the Falkirk area apart from travel? There must be a fair few young lads who have out-developed their local youth teams but won't get a gig/can;t travel to Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Alfredo the great doing great things. RANGERS ace Alfredo Morelos is definitely on the nice list this Christmas – after buying gifts for kids “most in need” in his hometown of Colombia. The Light Blues forward, 23, gifted cars, dolls, helicopters, tablets and other toys to children throughout the Botaven area of Cereté, Córdoba. The amazing gesture is the work of his charity – the Alfredo Morelos Foundation – which seeks to help needy children and teens fulfill their dreams. Charity chiefs said Morelos “gives smiles to the youngest children every year” thanks to the gifts. The Gers star grew up in the rough Botaven neighbourhood, a town of around 60,000 in Northern Colombia – the fourth poorest region in the whole country. Now, he gives back to families throughout the town who may be struggling at this time of year. The Alfredo Morelos Foundation shared pictures and videos of kids opening their presents. In one, a disabled lad – Cristian Camilo – smiles at the camera after receiving a special gift from the Foundation and Morelos – a tablet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 18 games in this campaign: 4 fewer goals conceded this season 5 more wins this season 12 more goals scored this season 12 points better off this season A draw on Sunday would set us up well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Alfredo Morelos can sleep easy as he heads into 2020 no matter the result at Celtic Park. One Scotland, many cultures? It’s unlikely the Colombian striker will be called up any time soon and asked to lend his endorsement to the Holyrood campaign. Scottish football can be a brutal, tribal business, but the civic nationalism espoused by Nicola Sturgeon was long ago exposed as a fallacy when it comes to the Rangers frontman. Too often, there’s an ugliness at the heart of the Scottish football support, which will be manifested in all its gory detail in tomorrow’s Old Firm clash. The learning curve for Morelos these past 18 months has been steep, but there’s more to the 23-year-old than a scowl and a well clipped short back and sides. That disgusting banner held up by Aberdeen fans at Pittodrie earlier this year, which crossed the line from naked hostility to blatant racism, represented a new low for the image of Scotland as a tolerant, welcoming nation. That someone would go to the bother of funding a banner declaring, in Spanish, ‘Morelos, your mother is a mattress’ was shameful. That a group of fans would hoist it high was even worse, before we even get started on those who tried to take a Silentnight into the subsequent Ibrox cup replay the following week. The woman who was the victim of such reprehensible behaviour – her name is Marta by the way, not Mattress – spent her Christmas Eve with her husband, Alfredo senior, handing out gifts to disadvantaged kids in their home city. Their boy – that despicable individual – funded 300 gifts for children in the Botaven neighbourhood of Cerete as part of his charity foundation and has rightly been feted for his sense of community, as well as his integrity and generosity. Win, lose or draw, Morelos will climb off a plane from the UK on Monday and straight into a game he has organised to help raise funds for a host of educational causes around his home town Put it this way, how many Scottish kids could leave their home at the age of 19 and fly halfway across the world without a support network in a bid to make it in the game? That was the route Morelos took less than four years ago when he moved to Finland, determined to fulfil his dream of playing in the major leagues by using HJK Helsinki as a stepping stone. Morelos grew up in such abject poverty he sold fruit from the side of the road with his father and it’s the same streetfighter instincts that will help him achieve his career ambition via Rangers, most likely at the end of this season. In the meantime, he will continue to bully the life out of Scottish defenders, underlining a strength of character and a lack of fear, driven only by the desire to be the very best he can be. Steven Gerrard admitted Morelos was again subject to wind-ups from opposition players, this time from Kilmarnock, who do everything they can to unnerve him. They have gone as far as learning the rudiments of Spanish to badmouth him in his mother tongue, while abuse off the field has also become commonplace in the goldfish bowl of Glasgow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
