compo 6,138 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 What do you do on the Saturday's when there is no football at Ibrox when I was a bit more able I used to go to the 50 pitches or Glasgow green and take in the amateurs seen some very good games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fa1833 150 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Know what compo I used to do the same until I got injured in Afghanistan, I didn’t go to the 50 pitches or the Glasgow green but I fondly remember watching the amateurs, I know care for my son as well as myself but it’s difficult indeed especially when your wanting to keep the mind active or just getting out and about, Have you tried a local Chess club or Darts if you can do so? I don’t want to ask your age but there are bowls I’m sure each local area has one pass time until Ibrox comes calling 🤜🏼♥️🤍💙 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,620 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Loads of games are on Sundays now. 50,000 were watching us on YouTube yesterday, so there's only one weekend with no Rangers game. I had a lazy one last Saturday, did a food shop and watched FA Cup matches on telly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,276 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Most of the big amateur teams around here no longer exist, what's left isn't great, the Junior game is pretty unrecognisable since it was all split up a few years back. No idea what the quality is like now. Can't bring myself to go watch either of them. It's changed days tbh, a lot more people have hobbies that don't involve football, not like it was 30 or 40 years ago. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Couldn’t agree more youth of today are so much obsessed with buying stuff on that Roblox that’s virtual reality or plugged into there games console, I think it’s time to start unplugging this matrix there in and fling them outside in the cold with a ball and a tell them to come back when the street lights come on or go get some led and old copper pipe or boilers make some money 🤣🤣 Edited January 14 by Fa1833 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also noticed an increase in the numbers of young folk in the hills in recent years. I don't know if it's a response to the Covid imprisonments but I take it as a good sign anyway. Anyone who spends time among trees and mountains will instantly become a better person. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,246 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Winter usually ain't a problem, as there is ice hockey in the town. The bigger problem is the Rangers-/Eisbären-less summer ... And I, for one, are not much interested in any other football event, unless there is a Rangers player involved here and there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends on the parents i think, I live in a rural area and you would be surprised the amount of kids who don’t go walking or don’t go out on Rambo type adventures all day building traps or whatever it is I did as a kid. As the parents don’t allow them to venture beyond the culdisac, Yeah it needs to be pushed more tbh all it takes is a hour a day go for a nice walk away from distractions and technology. Cheer even the grumpiest person on here 🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
