brainier

Also watched highlights and agree completely about the red card. Might still be a tricky one to appeal though.

I'm old enough to remember a bit more. Ally had returned from Argentina with his tail between his legs. Even that baggage was enough to see him a better choice than the outgoing Roger Hynd though. Jose Mourinho couldn't have kept us up in 78-79. I remember the headline splashed on the back pages when Ally put something like ten first team players up for sale and brought in youngsters. The only win we got in our last 16 league games was a 2-0 win at home to Rangers. 79-80 we had a poor start with no wins in our first seven games. Ally brought in Brian McLaughlin from Ayr and things improved but we still ended up 8 behind second placed Airdrie. We came closer the next year, just three behind 2nd placed Dundee but we had another slow start. For some reason I went into 81-82 full of confidence. We had ended the last year with only one defeat in 16 games. But again we had a slow start taking just one point from a tough league cup group that included two Premier teams and that was enough to see Ally out, Davie Hay in and we know the rest. Davie brought in Alfie Conn and, later in the season, Tommy O'Hara and we strolled the league. Would Ally's team have won the league? Possibly but maybe not so convincingly. Ally had spent a few years building that team and maybe deserved the chance to see the job through.

Although apparently Nicky Law moved on to a bigger club

Ask if you can take a kettle drum or, better still a Japanese O'Daiko.

My hatred for JPR has never waned. So glad he got done for accepting bribes. Also done was his assistant Rollo Kyle who was the only ref ever to use the four step rule, or so it seemed, and it cost us a Cup semi final. One other abomination was Dougie McDonald who, in his career managed to send off THIRTEEN Motherwell players but only three of our opponents. If I recall rightly something like one in every six red cards he ever issued was to a Motherwell player.

I'm still convinced he got a second yellow for handball!

Ah. my mistake, used to be five in the Cup. Reeks of arrogance that we played a weakened starting eleven and didn't even fill the bench for the possibility of defeat then.

We had five players as subs because in the Scottish Cup there are only five permitted.

I thought that was only meant to happen for one season! I'm so gullible I'm going to have to start reading the Daily Record.

He was only about 5' 7" to start with. Coat please.

I think Rangers RIP may have clinched their 77/78 title against us at Ibrox.

Starting or on the bench?

Hghlights on BBC Scottish Cup pages.

As already said, the referee was a few yards away with a clear view and gave nothing. That decision should be accepted. The point of the compliance officer is to look at incidents missed by the referee. The referee saw the incident and dismissed it. We should grow a pair and appeal it and ask the ref to give evidence on our behalf because his judgement is also being called into question.

evening times And no direct quote from Jamie even though he will "seriously consider" a move. We do get treated to words of wisdom from Bob Malcolm though.

If Randolph gets pulled up then I think we would have grounds to appeal purely because the referee was about two yards away and had a clear view and gave nothing. That said,I'd want a penalty if the situation was reversed.

Just who do Sky think they are by saying that the Randolph challenge is one that the compliance officer should be looking at? As for the game neither side did enough to merit three points and we were disappointing until the later stages.

Score first, we win.

Higdon disallowed goal was onside in my opinion.

Hit edition 100 and decide then.

It's probably not the real Drifters, it's Sevco Drifters

Careful, I think this guy is The Hulk.

1975 Matt. 1-1 John Greig equalised with a 30 yard screamer, made a change from him assaulting people and making them scream. Crowd was 30000, I was there on a rare visit to Ibrox.

A Tower Of Power t shirt. Good taste, my man.

The club would argue, and rightly, that the corporate income from Rangers visits would be a big loss. I still say kick the feckers out though.
