JFK-1 1,675 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 So it was your fault Agreed, exactly why it's still the only time I have attended when they play Accies. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Isn't it brilliant having the games on again.........these International breaks seriously disrupt our top competition time they were curtailed a bit of pressure on manager and players as we expect to win handsomely I think we will but a match to look forward to after empty weeks...... get intae thum 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,675 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I feel these breaks have been highly detrimental as we try to bed in a new team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,666 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I have a sneaky feeling we'll only be 3 points behind the scum tomorrow night. Don't quote me on that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,666 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 My predictions are usually rubbish (thankfully, I don't place bets). Fingers crossed though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little General 80 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Enjoy your day out John. I can't remember my first game at Ibrox It was 1974 I think., but the one I do remember is the return of Colin Stein 1975 against St Johnstone in a 1-0 victory. I was avery excitable 9 year old then.

SteveC 150 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) I'm taking my two sons to Ibrox for the first time this Saturday. Hamilton Accies at home under a caretaker manager perhaps wasn't the match I envisaged would be their first when they were born but we're all out of big European nights and glamour friendlies currently. My first match was John Greig's testimonial game in 1978. In truth I was too young to appreciate it but my dad so admired Greig he wanted me to see him play and he wanted to pay tribute to him. We played a Scotland select and I've only a few memories of it. One was the Nottingham Forest winger John Robertson's family sitting behind us and supporting Rangers. He later became assistant manager at Celtic, I always wondered how they felt about that. My Dad is coming on Saturday too, along with my brother-in-law (who is actually a St Mirren fan!) and two of his sons, my nephews. It'll be their first Rangers game too. My youngest is a year older now than I was in 1978 so I'm not sure how much he'll remember about it when he's in his late 40s. Neither of my boys are as interested in football as I was at their age, but they both say they support Rangers (my wife laughed when I 'd say to people I'd let them choose who they supported, she's right, that wasn't ever going to happen) so they're very excited about it. Anyway, I don't always agree with everyone on Gersnet about everything, sometimes even I realise I'm being a thrawn at times. But I'm strangely emotional about Saturday, it feels like a big deal. Also, if you could try and not swear too much on Saturday that would be great! Have a brilliant day. I'll be thinking of you and recalling my first trip to Ibrox, over half a century ago now. Yikes. The first of hundreds of times my dad took me, home and away. That and the first night game (not Rangers, actually, but rather Scotland v Spain (0-0 but for me electrifying)- surrounded by Bears of course as was the norm then ) have moments of memory far brighter than whatever the f@ck it was I did yesterday PS Don't worry about my language - I'm not going to be there.

Blue Moon 1,113 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I hope you have a great day with your sons, John and they are as entranced as I was in the 1960's when I went to Ibrox for the first time with my lovely Dad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
