Having watched the Roofe goal a few times now it's actually an incredible goal, a pure natural strikers goal

It was an excellent goal.

Just in from game adrenaline still pumping hopefully I'll sleep tonight an unreal night.

I'll have to sleep on my hands to stop me from clapping.

What was the team?

In the order they appeared in the magazine:

Geoff Hurst
Mike England
Terry Hennessey
Gordon Banks
George Best
Denis Law
Alan Ball
John Greig
Bobby Charlton
Tommy Gemmell
Bobby Moore

This is a great question because each answer is by definition, generational.  It reminded me of this old copy of Football Monthly I have from 1968 featuring the 1 Million Pound football team.  So far only Banks and Moore have made it into both this thread and the million pound team.  😀

John Greig made the £1M team by the way...

I'm not worrying about anything tonight: neither should you.

 

 

I really enjoyed that podcast.  The lads deftly covered the whole decade with honesty and inevitably opened old wounds along the way. However, today was a day of healing and as Dave King said earlier in his interview with Jim Traynor that decade is behind us, we are no longer playing catchup we are top of the pile.  We are champions, not looking backwards but instead we are defending our position.  

To quote a great of yesteryear...  "We welcome the chase".

....they are fine

I reckon you'd enjoy this one... 

It looks fantastic guys! Well done.

Is the Rangers job the best thing for someone who was in rehab for 5 weeks last year?

Probably not. It was a passionate interview though... https://talksport.com/football/must-listen-ray-wilkins-reveals-he-wants-rangers-return-passionate-talksport-interview

Rumour That Kiernen has left for Southend.

Confirmed. https://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/2017/august/rob-kiernan-signs/

I understand the reservations that many people have expressed but after the last 5 years I love DK's hubris.

So what if he is wrong? Given all that we have endured during the so called "Banter Years" I think his deadpan trolling is hilarious.

I think we can safely say Stevie getting an MBE is also Rangers news.

That's what I thought...

Not sure if this should be in here but congratulations to Steven Davis on his MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Besides the discredited opinions of the usual wallopers, on what grounds could this have been denied?

As GS has said good news.

To be fair we have some great craft beers in Belfast nowadays

A fantastic move - it will be interesting to see what the NI teams are!

 

Plus we get to defend our title

I heard a piece on BBC Radio Ulster about this earlier this evening. They seemed to think it would be the top two teams from the Welsh League and the Irish League which means the NI teams will be Crusaders and Linfield...

Somebody obviously thought different to me.

It would seem so.

No surprise. Best of luck to the lad but onwards and upwards.

Agreed.

I just noticed Ian has posted this in the transfer thread, perhaps admin should delete this one...

Interesting tweet this evening ...

Unbe-bloody-lievable!!!!

A slightly disappointing 7/10.

Let me add my seasonal good wishes to everyone on Gersnet even though Mrs. MeAndMyWeePalJoe and I have pissed off to Gran Canaria over Christmas we are thinking of you all.

BREAKING: Sky Sources: Rangers make third bid for Hibernian midfielder Scott Allan. #SSNHQ

As much as I liked Advocaat at the time I hope he doesn't come back at all.

 

He certainly doesn't fit as a manager for the reason that you state. That would go against what King said about looking for a coach rather than a manager.

In fact Dave King specifically used him as an example of what he didn't want, I'm paraphrasing but he said something like, we don't want someone who simply comes in and manages the players like a Dick Advocaat for instance...
