Celtic - Rangers

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Off to watch it shortly, reading with interest Dougals crusade for atmosphere , tune in and listnen to the noise from Parkhead, granted a lot of it misdirected bigotry at times but a fantastic wall of sound no less, at every game, no singing end , just blind faith and love for their club and no sense of inhibitinous (sp) which I feel is the main problem. Older fans will remember games at St James dying a death and the Leazes End upping the tempo with chants of Celtic - Rangers, I was your archtypal Gallowgater, no songs (Blaydon Races apart), just a wide open mooth , roaring , no songs , just the roar.

Ref another thread, I watched Gordon Marshall put out Arkle (Albert Bennet, had problems with his fetlocks!!) lights in that match, asking the obvious but you all know that Gordons son , another Gordon is keeper for Kilmarnock, pot model of his father, away to sample the atmosphere , eat your heart out LR. lol , personally I blame it on the Tories putting cooncil hooses up for sale, lot to answer for?

Scrappy game, took a Geordie to settle it, (Alan Thompson), Celtic played better stuff under Tommy Burns three years ago, O`Neil has them battling but they will be hung out to dry in the Champions League unless he imports three minimum class players, Lennon is so negative.

Buff, Gordon Marshall snr runs a newsagent in the Haymarket in Edinburgh. I went in one day to say hello as he was the Newcastle goalie the day of my first game (30/9/67). He didn't remember me, nor much of the tea, but was a nice guy.
