Wee Pat; We are trying to remember the name of the pub at Springburn across from the railway works,noticed it's been pulled down the other week,a right madhoose!Went in it once to use the phone(no mobiles then boys!)and it was amazing! Celtic had won and EVERYBODY in it was a Tim and puffing"exotic tobacco" like it was Jamaica! Guitars and Celtic songs,It was wild............green jhedi

Ah no the wan ye mean try & look it up guys yer right it wiz mad, wiz it no somethin vaults?

Springfield vaults ?? {Ed007's Note - That's still there? Across from the LRT? Unless all you old folk are talking about 'good auld days'. Where's Mrs E when you need her!!!}

The cawder vaults! Jeeze,what a boozer it was.Very intimidating but full of really brand new guys.Ended up sitting there for about an hour listening to the tunes,not celtic songs strangely enough,Shame it's away.......green jhedi

Bhoys was it the Cawder Vaults, across from the Caley, on Springburn Rd, or
another old pub Bauldy Baines Timalloy

Duz anybody remember the Reekie Linn or the Fairfield , that's when pubs were pubs.".....DH

I lived in the area and it was the Calder Vaults. There was 2 doors to enter, one was the Celtic end and the other the Rangers end, but everyone came from the same area and there was very rearly any trouble.

Saw Pat and Green Jhedi posts earlier
about pubs, saw this and thought I
would share it....

"I cannot find any cause for your illness"
said the doctor, "frankly, I think it is
due to drinking"..
"In that case" said the patient, "I'll
come back when you are SOBER!"

Todays Sermon.....
How much can a man drink?
With hymns from a full choir....
LOL Timalloy

ED007 Just been looking at different sites for confirmation of numbers, most believable estimates are 1000-1500 although that bastion? of truth
Rangers Media say 12,000 (ha ha) anyway one quote I liked was that
stewards were telling marchers to SLOW DOWN, to make it look good
for television cameras.
Don't think that "ra peepil" knew how to get to Hampden... LOL Timalloy
PS I see RM said "only sing songs you would sing at Ibrox" oh well at least they obeyed that..... and isn't it amazing that not one police officer
on duty heard any of these songs sang loudly in a PUBLIC place, over to
you Mr Salmond.... {Ed007's Note - As I said earlier Tim, anything with Dingwall involved is usually a shambles, I see this as no different to what people expected.}

The scene at hampden on BBC was telling.no where near five thousand when jardine had his "nuremburg" moment.........green jhedi

There's a vid on you tube of the dirty protest taken from a house right beside Hampden lucky if there was 1000 there. It lasts for 21mins and you see the whole crowd it was dire but watch the last few secs of the vid quite amusing!

Can I just say i am totally bored with all this R***ers talk let them die in peace, I feel like we're hanging about intensive care waiting to hear about somebody we never liked in the first place.
Im not having jelly and icecream its steak pie at a funeral.

If rangers were the patient i would think the term "we will make them as comfortable as possible" might be used........green jhedi

They are more like an animal and should be put down.

why has ally not asked for the benifactors of EBTs to be named :because the fans deserve to know;surely they have done more damage to rankers than the hampden 3

Good post mate !

lenny

Apparently Friends of the Earth have prevented this from happening as too many trees would have to be cut down for the amount of paper required to print everyones name on.

I know all the fans ask for is full transparency!!
DB77

Absolutely. they could kill the club !

They want to blame everyone and anyone that isnt on the pay (lord knows where there money comes from)
