We like to keep that tradition going on here. :razz:

It's brilliant. Love it when player gets hacked down - instead of rolling about, gets up and thumps the perpetrator. Modern players are just a bunch of poofs by comparison. ☺

Yes some hard lads back in the day

Hunter/ souness/Harris/ liked to mix it and yes Stevie they just got up and carried on . The other week Kenny burns took Ricky villa out. And when you looked he'd got a huge hole right down his sock. Rugby tackles and they didn't get booked :gasp: those were the days :strong:

Jimmy Case deserves a mention

Whilst the game has changed almost beyond recognition and is much faster, for pure adrenalin pumping excitement with fans standing and plying on those mud flats of pitches, I reckon the game was actually more exciting to watch back in in the 70's and eighties. There was undoubtably much more atmosphere in the grounds and what yougster didn't enjoy the odd riot and pitch invasion. Those were the days

Yes old j case remember little Franny Lee / Billy Bremner/ Nobby Stiles/ and the list goes on.but like you say the pitches where muddy as hell in a lot of the matches. But these players had respect for each other and played with passion .after the game it was all forgotten. It was played as a sport. Now they think about the money.

Totally agree Mr P. I fear I have turned into a grumpy old man ☹

Totally in agreement with you guys.

Nowadays so frustrating with players rolling around like they have be shot.

Would not have survived in the old days.

Players are to quick to dive now and spoils the game for us old fogeys. :rofl:
