Pffft. Imagine celebrating winning one of the diddy leagues. What a riddy.....

To narrow down my 3 earlier selections I would say Brian Laudrup. He was the first footballer I was ever really in awe of and he was miles ahead of anyone else playing Scotland at that time. He practically glided (glode?) across the park and made everything look so effortless. You could almost guarantee when he got the ball that he was going to beat his man or pick out a player with an inch perfect pass. I remember a particular game against Thistle (I think) at Ibrox where he skinned the young boy playing full back that much that he had to pay to get back in! The 5-1 Scottish Cup final against Hearts was easily the best performance I've ever seen from a Rangers player. It says it all when Gordon Durie scores the first hat trick in a final for 25 years yet the match is named after someone else!

If that's the prize I'm stopping buying a ticket every week.

Come on Eddard, they'll be waiting till it's confirmed Rangers haven't won the league before they announce restructuring to guarantee we're in the top league next year. They can't live without us!

Ex police officer and current director of a human rights organisation! You couldn't make it up!!

I'm not sure but there are loads of different versions of it floating about online claiming to be talking about various different things. A quick Youtube search and I think this might be the original, the comments seem to suggest it's something about working in a restaurant.

that's just the 4th time this has been posted now!

Loads of Aberdeen games in the 90s. My mate was a Dandie and didn't get up to Pittodrie often so anytime they played in the Glasgow area I'd go along with him if Rangers weren't at home. One that sticks in my mind is a game at Parkhead that was abandoned after about half an hour because of fog! Was also at St Mirren's 87 semi and final although I being a Linwood boy I wasn't really neutral there and was routing for the Buds.

So in many ways you're like Barry Ferguson....

My only experience was at the Etihad and they sold food and beer at the same kiosks.

Brian Laudrup, Gazza or Ronald De Boer.

Something else that occurred to me is the impact selling booze in the concourses would have on the staff that work in the kiosks. I can only really speak for Ibrox but the majority of the staff that work in the kiosks look to be 16 or 17 year old kids earning a bit of pocket money. Selling booze would mean these kids wouldn't be able to be employed or would have to be laid off which is a bit shit.

When I was a teen with a bit of speed about me my record for the 100m was just over 12 seconds. I was always quite proud of that given the world record at the time was just under 10! It would now take me about 12 minutes!

Was just going to say similar. It was certainly getting sung at games in the early noughties.

I know a few huuns that would probably disprove that statement......

40 mins for a 10K is my (longish term) goal. I'm 37, 5ft 8 and weigh 12.5 stone. I'm comfortably a stone overweight and it's all in my gut. I've dipped in and out of gyms many, many times before but I've never felt as motivated as this, albeit I'm only 2 weeks in. I'm setting myself mini goals such as be down to 12 stone 3 by the time I go to New York, be under 12 stone for my mates party at the end of March. It's baby steps but I think it's a better way to do it than going big bang. That's four days in a row now I've been to gym and 7 in the last 12 where I've probably not done 7 in the 3 years before that!! There's a Glasgow 10K in October so that's my goal to get my fitness levels up in the gym, then get out in the road and be able to put in a sub 50 minute for that. After that I'll probably win the London Marathon.

I think there's a bit of chicken and egg in there.

I seen it just as I hit post and hoped no one would pick me up on it. In the words of Jim Diamond.....

Agreed. I signed up to RST last week.

I've just done my first ever run during my lunch break! Get me.

Should that not be "bit's"....?!

He was talking about giving the money to Rangers First instead which will be used to buy shares in the club/company and in turn expedite fan ownership (or at least partial fan ownership).

Correct.

I actually started typing "what the feck are you talking about" then the penny dropped! Just had a quick check back on Historical Kits and realised I've only ever owned 2 home and 2 away Rangers tops. 90-94 home tops and the 87-88 and 95-96 aways.

Something along the lines of "my sister is a travel agent and I'm going to get right on her" if I remember correctly. I think it was his first post as well!!
