  1. If we have money to spend, it needs to be on a Jennings replacement. McFadden is not that man. He might have been good to have around for the Euro games, but for me, we just don't have the cash to risk on a guy who has barely kicked a ball in the last 3 years.

  2. Just noticed another crackin chant suggested by a 'Well fan on Pie and Bovril.

    To the tune of Billy Boys (if that wasn't obvious)

  3. Memory might be playing tricks on me but think the pass to Walker was from another midfield maestro, Brian Wright.

     

    That's the name I was struggling for. I knew it was a 'Brian'! It's terrible when you get old and start forgetting - another Senior Moment.

     

    I remember the pass as clear as day, though, and the dummy. They used to say about Charlie Cooke "When Charlie sold you a dummy you had to pay to get back into the stadium" - and Walker's dummy was as good as that. Pity he turned into such an eejit on the telly because he was a great young player for us.

  4. I think we are going to blow them away - which is a bad sign as I never think we are going to blow anyone away.

     

    However, I just don't think Dundee were ready for the step up and we will run out comfortable winners.

     

    So for all you gamblers out there, a 1 - 0 win to Dundee is your banker for the weekend.

  5. 85-86 ish I think

     

    86 I think. Was working a student job beside a Celtic supporter.

     

    2 - 0 down without playing badly. Great comeback. Walker's goal set up by a cracking reverse pass from Martin (if my memory isn't playing tricks). Gahagan missed a great chance in extra time with a weak shot straight at the keeper. Softy hit the underside of the square bar with his pen. Round bar and it would probably have gone in.

     

    EDIT: No idea why I wrote Martin! I was thinking Smith - but could be wrong.

     

    EDIT EDIT: If you can bear it, a report is on here

  6. 1987 UEFA cup final Utd lost 2 -1 on aggregate to FC Goteborg and yes i did look it up :-)

     

    interesting fact also that utd have 100% record against barcelona in european competitions

     

    That was a great Dundee Utd. team. Beat some cracking teams in their Euro adventures. The lost the UEFA final largely due to being knackered. For some players who were also internationalists, they had played something mental like 70 or 80 games that season.

     

    After they won that UEFA Cup semi-final, did we not applaud them onto Fir Park just before beating them?

  7. The point is that a regular poster offered a strong opinion that "Jennoe" was not good enough to play in League One and would end up a bench warmer.

     

    This opinion was based on the fact that he watches League One every week, that every other poster is a moron who knows nothing about football, and most importantly, that he has even been inside the Ricoh Arena recently.

  8. that depends,

     

    if it is £20 a head, Rangers get to take 15% costs so £3 then Motherwell split the gate getting half of £17 so £8.50

     

    if it was at Fir Park we would pay the tax on the £20 leaving only £16 - £2.40 costs leaving only £13.60 split two ways giving us £6.80 :popcorn:

     

    :whistling:

     

    Were you David Murray's accountant? :cheers:

     

    Either way, if I just donate 20 quid to Steelmen Forever, the club gets more.

  9. From looking at the link without joining to read the full story it looks the usual OF biased news paper story, McCall only says that our previous record at ibrox makes them the bookies fav - he doesn't say that HE makes them fav. - maybe the full story tells something different but I can't be arsed joining to read a load of shit written by some OF biased hack.

     

    Direct quote from the gaffer:

     

    "Given our poor record at Ibrox then you have to say that home advantage makes Rangers favourites."

     

    Despite what Jay thinks, I'm not "greetin'" about it, just tired of hearing it from the guy who is motivating our players.

     

    I have praised and defended McCall on here many times, but this old chestnut just gets on my wick.
