speckled tangerine Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 12 minutes ago, The DA said: I suspect so. She'll go just as the World Cup 2022 finals are kicking off. I think she's chucked it since Phil the Greek/racist/car crash enthusiast* called it a day. I'm imagining Charles' odd looking combover profile on a stamp right now. *delete as applicable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Week 44 update Whenever some dies during the week I start having a wee think about what I'll say about them here. I could have sworn Walter Smith was a pick of someone but, no. Since nobody else died this week I may as well post this: I saw someone in the Rangers thread this week say that Smith came across as a bully in this interview. I say it's Chick Young, so it's probably deserved. I think it's a mark of Smith's standing that he was manager of Rangers during a period of unprecedented success and wealth and still managed to maintain the respect of pretty much every Scottish football fan. Saying things like "they don't make them like him anymore" is trite and horrible but given the way football is nowadays even in Scotland, it's pretty much true. I think every football fan wants their club to have someone in charge who can do no wrong, but it doesn't work like that. He also made Scotland respectable for the first time in my life when I was aware of it, so I'll always be grateful for that: A good thing too that video recording is now much more widely accessible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBo10 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hopefully this goal, less than 1 year later, helped you to maintain that respect! When the ball went out for the goal kick prior to that I turned to my brother and said “McFadden’s fucked. He’s put in a c**t of a shift but I’d take him off.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 That McFadden goal brings back some strange memories quite relevant to this thread. I'd just get the call that my old man was on his last so I was rushing back to Glasgow and in Newark airport when I saw some guys in Scotland tops. I went over to see if they knew the score (pre phones with that sort of info) and they were all deaf so I never got far! Was pleased to find out on the plane that we won and my dad even mentioned it in his final hours so no too bad a way to go I suppose. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
