  1. Yeah, I always wondered what that hand gesture meant It was also used when we used to do a rhythmic clap for a while, then the hand gesture came in as we all sang "Oooooooooooooooooh"
  2. As you day, very disappointing result, but then we were missing Little and Templeton amongst others. From what I gather there is a growing unrest among the fans towards Ally McCoist - hope he stays though, love the bloke!
  3. "We don't run, we don't hide, and we'll see you all outside"
  4. Very good result for Finland - I thought of you when I saw the result last night, Maks, and could imagine you getting totally pissed and running amok on a reindeer
  5. Aaarrrggghhhh, my eyes! My eyes!!!
  6. After I'd drank a litre of sherry the other night I thoroughly agreed with this point, especially the poignant bit about the kebab. For some strange reason I can't seem to make sense of it this morning. Weird.
  7. Blimey, I'd forgot that one - loved it, always sung about 5 mins before the end of the game
  8. Come on you Gers, let's see an impressive performance!
  9. "You're goin' home in a f*ckin' ambulance!"
  10. I've put the good people at Highland Park on red alert
  11. Just a quick point - you don't represent all Chelsea fans, nobody does - your arrogance is almost beyond belief. I only say almost because there's a few other posters on here who could give you a run for your money.
  12. You mean there are some who don't??? Scary thought that some of the sh*t spouted on this site is done by people who are sober
  13. I always liked Parlane, though he wasn't highly regarded by quite a few Rangers fans as I remember.

  15. So I'm looking for a centre-back and a goalkeeper. I'm gonna go for the defender first, and I'll pick Albert Shesternyov (or Shesternev, if you prefer)... Shesternyov was a one club man, playing his entire career at CSKA Moscow from 1959 to 1972. He captained both CSKA and Russia, getting 90 caps in the process, and is widely regarded as being the best ever Russian (USSR) defender.
  16. Nothing dubious about that choice, it was a great goal! I've seen many better Chelsea goals, but then I'm an old git and started watching in 1967
  17. DEREK JOHNSTONE Derek Johnstone, a boyhood Dundee United supporter, signed for Rangers as a schoolboy in 1968. He turned professional in 1970 and made his debut aged 16 years and 319 days against Cowdenbeath on 19 September 1970, scoring twice on his debut, a 5–0 victory. Despite his heroics against Celtic, Johnstone found regular first-team outings in the number nine jersey hard to come by, largely due to the presence of Colin Stein, Scotland's first £100,000 player, although he did score eleven goals in sixteen league appearances during the 1971–72 season. He compensated for his lack of frontline action by often playing as a centre-back when either Ronnie McKinnon or Colin Jackson were injured, and when the duo were ruled out of the European Cup Winners' Cup Final in 1972, Johnstone, still only eighteen, deputised in the showpiece match against Dynamo Moscow. His mature display in Rangers' 3–2 victory belied his youth and inexperience. With performances such as this, Johnstone soon became a regular in the starting line-up, and he picked up a Scottish Cup winners' medal in 1973 when Rangers defeated Celtic 3–2 at Hampden Park. Johnstone played a huge role in the winning goal, rising above the Celtic defence to head a Tommy McLean free-kick towards goal, and when his header struck both posts, Tam Forsyth was on hand to nudge the rebound over the line. The McLean-Johnstone combination that created this famous goal was a hallmark of Rangers' play in the 1970s. Johnstone eventually picked up a league championship medal at the end of the 1974–75 campaign, as Rangers ended Celtic's nine-year reign as Kings of Scotland, and he was an integral part of The 'Gers Treble success a year later. He scored a total of thirty-one goals in fifty-one appearances, including two in a 3–1 win over Hearts in the Scottish Cup Final. He scored his first, a typical header, after just forty-two seconds and thus earned himself a unique place in the annals of Scottish Football. The referee had actually kicked off the match early, so Johnstone had actually hit the net before the allotted 3pm kick-off time had been reached. Although 1976–77 was a barren season for Rangers, they came back with a bang in 1977–78 by winning their second Treble inside three years. Johnstone was the outstanding performer in what was an exceptional Rangers side, scoring thirty-eight goals over the course of the campaign and picking up the Scottish Football Writers' Player of the Year accolade. With Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested in luring Rangers' top marksman to London, Johnstone submitted a transfer request in the summer of 1978. He was seeking a new challenge in his career, but the intervention of new Rangers manager John Greig persuaded Johnstone to stay in Glasgow. He was named club captain, and in his first season with the armband, he almost led Rangers to an unprecedented second successive Treble. Only a last-gasp 4–2 defeat against Celtic at Parkhead robbed Rangers of the Championship, but Johnstone did get his hands on the Scottish Cup – he scored twice in the Final's second replay against Hibernian and the League Cup.

    I've never liked Owen, always thought he was an over-rated, diving little sh*t. The thing I remember most about his England career was his being taken off injured in about the first minute in a world cup game - he should never have gone to that tournament, he knew his fitness was nowhere near good enough, and ultimately he prevented a fit striker from appearing in the WC, the selfish little twat. Robbie Fowler was a total scumbag, but he was the better striker of the two.

  20. As I haven't got any Italians in my side yet, I thought I'd put that right by selecting the maestro... The one and only Gianfranco Zola - can't believe he hadn't been picked already! I've had to change my formation though... ? Gerets - Charles - ? - Breitner Best - Gullit - Makelele - Dzajic Zola - Drogba
  21. Harry J & The All Stars' "Liquidator", the wonderful sound of Stamford Bridge since 1969!
  22. It seems things have changed a bit down at the Bridge...

  24. Difficult to find a really good right-back, but I think Eric Gerets of Belgium fits the bill. His playing career ran from 1971 to 1992, appearing for Standard Liege, AC Milan (briefly), MVV, and finally PSV Eindhoven, 543 games overall. He got 86 caps playing for Belgium, captaining them many times.
  25. If that's the case, why don't you put us right by explaining why? Those of us who discuss these things were actually there, were you?
