Good man. Good luck. I respect your views too, whether I agree with them or not.

Sure honcho it's better to debate football, Celtic have a young player currently I think he is doing grand, I have messages coming in, "he's not as good as you think"
I never said he was brilliant but he is doing ok in at time of need, and more games he plays the better he will be, no doubts on that. btw i'm not his agent, but he is certainly worth more now than 500k Rodgers was going to punt to Bolton |

Question for you, about your beloved Celtic and Lisbon ‘67. I like this one.
 For everybody actually. Who wore the No.7 SHIRT when Celtic won the European Cup? |

By:
Nobody.

it was pretty easy honcho but a decent question, there was a right good one on chit chat years ago regarding old firm, i got it but was lucky, and it's an old firm connection

A lot of folk don’t see it though Malay. Even contemporaries. When I watch the Jimmy vid. I greet every time his lassie says “ sometimes I look him up on YouTube just to hear his voice, his laugh again”. Gets me every time. Great wee guy and what a player. Greig puts him up into the straw bales surrounding the pitch at old Ibrox and wee Jinky comes back and says “Greigy, are you trying to intimidate me”?

L am told Greigy is still kickin about Comiston in Edinburgh.
He drunk with my dad in the Buckston Lounge. that was not yesterday. |

A Liberton laddie. Started his juvenile career with United Crossroads and Eric Gardner. Stood out - as all top, top players seem to do - from an early age.
I once saw a tenstone Alec Crowley fearlessly block tackle him putting him head over heels on the ground. Greig was livid which doubly amplified the cheer from the crowd. Greig was a great Rangers and Scotland player but the older he got the more physical he got. If you can, find a video of the Rangers - Moscow CWCup final in Barcelona and watch the first two minutes. Greig comes, at pace, from out of picture and cattle’s one of the Russian stars who went on to be largely anonymous in the match. Referee “unsighted”. . Incredible.Playing for Scotland once against A George Best inspired Northern Ireland he very late tackled Bestie somehow taking off one of Best’s boots. Incredibly, one-booted-Best kept the ball, picked up his boot put it on, taunting Greig before swerving away withe ball again. Classic moment. |

Cropley - not Crowley. Sry.

My big pal "god rest him" done best tackle ever v england, I done his garden with him. Rangers legend, known as hard man, nicest man you would ever meet in you're life. Him and Greigy fell out but that is football, it was and always be a dirty game. Don't kid yourself.

Not kidded here. Big Tam? I’m quite sure of what you say. Always struck me as a real decent bloke in the few interviews I ever saw of him. People fall out in every walk of life but Football has always, at least up to now, had a great record of keeping 99% of it out of the press.

magnificent guy, ok not silkiest but what a career, strong challenger, hard worker, never went out to hurt anybody, probably get sent off every week nowadays, that's the rubbish involved in football nowadays.

Quick quiz question ,came up in the pub ,who was the only player Jock Stein signed twice ,no googling please.
|
|
By:
That’s a good one and has me stumped.
|
|
By:
Never googled but it's not as difficult as first thought, if you have time to think.
|
|
By:
I had to google it. It’s a good question.
Hibs fans used to greet their eyes out about how “Stein sabotaged Hibs knowing in three months time he was going to Celtic”. They reckoned he sold Ronnie Simpson to them in advance. Somehow I doubt it but he was a wily, cunning man that’s for sure. Later on Hibs decided that one of their greats, Paddy Stanton, was finished and let him go to Celtic. Stein immediately did what Hibs should have done and moved him back to sweeper, where Stanton looked like Franz Beckenbauer. Inspired thinking but unfortunately Pat suffered a career ending injury and had to retire. |
|
By:
Stanton was the other one in my mind Honcho,
Leeds he wasn't there long enough, ruled that out quickly usually I think about goalies but I ruled that out quickly, it just led to Big Tid, although I was not certain Jock signed him for Dunfermline. |
|
By:
Neither was I. Stanton was a Hibs youth product of the time. I’m sure he had a grandfather or granduncle who played for Hibs too, so is revered for that as well. Brilliant player and from all accounts a real gentleman. However none of that stopped Hibs from sacking him as manager. Watch the news and media when he passes. Leith will come to a standstill.

Great result for Hearts but Hibs are definitely not out of this title chase. One top class central defender in January would help them greatly imv.
Bowie is class and is starting to deliver regularly, Boyle always a threat and Mulligan and the two brothers great assets too. |
|
By:
Hibs very lacklustre at Ibrox tonight. Where’s the so-called Hibby fight?
|
|
By:
Hearts want four draws in Scotland today, a win at home to Rangers tomorrow and the Dons to maraud at Parkhead. That would be a fabulous Xmas for their fans.
|
|
By:
Hearts fans should be ashamed of themselves, leaving in groups at half-time when three down. They looked like Hibs supporters!
Their right back sold the game early on. Wish we had Bowie! |

Huge match for Celtic in Edinburgh at weekend it’s a very tough place to go when things are going well, brilliant at atmosphere it’s up to Celtic players, who are getting paid very good money, to step up to the plate. I have my doubts.
|
|
By:
Good to see you back. These two injuries very significant for Hearts.
|

By:
Good to chat again honcho, hopefully be exciting match, looking forward to it. Should be goals hopefully.
