That's bollox C/R. I was in the town centre that day and most of them were fine. The initial problems related to mancland wanting to organise a spectacle (and take the jock £££) when they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Badly underestimated the number of travellers, not enough bogs or facilities, poor rubbish disposal arrangements, screwed up with the big screens, etc..

Some rangers fans (note "some") kicked off and were disgraceful. They should serve long sentences and be banned from football. But most weren't too bad, or else they'd have had to draft the army in to cope with the numbers.

Some caught trains and buses to out-of-centre pubs; one being the Royal Scot in Marple Bridge (one of my Marple favourites, recently introduced to some MB-ers). My mate Terry was in there that night and said they were top blokes. They asked him to recommend a curry house, so he sent them to Saeed's. Where i was after a gig in mancland. They behaved very well considering they'd been f#cked about all day and got a bad result.

Of course it works both ways......... I worked for Glasgow city council for 17 years and in that time the balance of power swung the full 360 degrees. Just before I left there was an investigation into a head of service who at that point had hired 137 employees......... 137 of which were catholic and 90% had very obvious catholic names like John paul , bernadette, ann-Marie etc. The enquiry found it to be merely a coincidence and surprise surprise employee 138 was ......... Jewish

Unless you've lived in the west of Scotland, then you really don't have a clue...

You should try Raymond's of Morpeth - it's like going back to 1963 - I was up that way the other week on me hols - I came out looking like I was ready to do the old National Service.

Mind you I loved it - a beat up old Barbers - having a laugh with Raymond [or whatever the guys name was] - hair cut for £6 - I even tipped the guy - unheared of from a tight fisted git like me...

not forgetting - ahem!!, something for the weekend!!
