Souness Is God 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 "Made me proud... Frank Sinatra sang there, Jim Watt fought there and Eric Liddell, the "Chariots of Fire" Olympian, trained there. Sadly, no one knows the name of the two servicemen who knocked on the Ibrox door one wartime evening and asked if they could see inside. Bill Struth obliged and as they walked the edge of the pitch, the visitors asked if they take a pinch of grass as a souvenir. "We won't see much of this where we going," they added. Even the strict disciplinarian Struth was moved. "Take some, but make sure you bring it back one day". The two never returned. And after the war, Struth made his own enquiries about the young servicemen. He found out they were Canadians who were in the first wave of Allies to land on D-Day in the face of fierce German fire. As they tucked the sprig of green in their uniform breast pockets, they probably already knew they'd never see Ibrox again." God Bless those brave Soldiers man. That story pure brought a tear tae ma eye man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil K 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 39036[/snapback] Must admit this is offensive crap, and completley uncalled for. Would you have been among the first to start squealing if it had been Celtic getting this treatment ? I personally have been known to snort derision at BOTH Glasgow teams. NOT one only. You should apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should apologize. 39179[/snapback] Are you taking the piss? 39181[/snapback] No I'm not. If it had been some Celtic fans from the war he was talking about, I wouldn't have made any such pathetic dig at the end. Would you ? I think we have seen several occasions on here where certain Newcastle fans have been happy to have a dig at one or the other then start whining when other fans mock the other side of the Glasgow bigot duo. Deny that all you like. It has happened on quite a few occasions, and unpleasant whenever. F'rinstance - I myself am still overjoyed and delighted at Hearts doing Rangers at the weekend and will be whoever else does them. Maybe this bloke feels the need to take the piss. OK - strange way to do it, though. Maybe he's telling a genuine story. He's entitled isnt he ? I have seen you, for instance, with several others mock fellow Newcastle fans in defence of a Man U fan - remember ? Manuallover or some such dopey name. And get snotty because you got the same treatment back ? Recall ? As to piss taking - you're more comfortable doing that. A different approach once in a while would make a nice change.

Renton 17633 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm confused. So who's been offending who then? Is it offensive to say Rangers are in crisis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
