Trevor Santos and his fellow dying nasty bears have become rather boring in their final days. I cannot understand the narrowness of mind they have. Day after day they purposely become angered and annoyed. They just want to be annoyed.
John Brown slams Sandy Clark's new book and brands ex-Hearts man a diver & his team bottlers May 8 2012 Exclusive by Gordon Parks JOHN BROWN last night put the boot into Sandy Clark’s new book by labelling the Hearts side of 1986 a bunch of bottlers. The Rangers legend wanted to set the record straight over his version of the last-day drama at Dens Park, when a Dundee victory cost Jambos the title. In his autobiography From The Heart Clark claimed the appointment of Hearts fan Bill Crombie as ref combined with St Mirren’s “unprofessional” display in a 5-0 defeat to Celtic cost the Tynecastle troops the Premier League title. But Brown, who played for the Dark Blues in their famous 2-0 win 26 years ago, accused Clark of rewriting history. He said: “I read Sandy’s take on what happened at Dens Park and after much laughter I felt it necessary to point out a few inaccuracies in his new book. “He says ref Crombie will have to live for ever with the decision not to award Hearts a “stonewall” penalty after Sandy was fouled by Colin Hendry. “I played in the game and I saw exactly what happened. If Sandy wants to point the finger at anyone then maybe he should look at himself as he dived. “It was a blatant attempt to win a penalty and I remember telling him at the time that he was a “diving b*****d”. “Bill did well that day and it was a pressure game as we were chasing a European spot and Hearts were going for the title. “Sandy talks about the “infamous penalty that never was”, and it’s about the only thing he’s called correctly about that day as it certainly was never a penalty.” Clark’s book also details an account of a sickness bug which swept through the Tynecastle dressing room in the week prior to Hearts’ trip to Dens Park and Brown offered up his own diagnosis. He said: “It’s a collection of excuses from Sandy but I believe some of the Hearts players were suffering from a severe bout of bottleitis. “This was a massive game for them but they bottled it. “We deserved to win but Hearts weren’t helped by having key players absent. “I believe Craig Levein was one who didn’t play and it amazes me to this day that any player would miss a game of that magnitude. “Someone such as Craig, who I don’t think has many winner’s medals, opted out of the game through illness and it’s hard to understand. “You do whatever is required to help the team. That’s what makes you a winner. “But for some reason Hearts had some guys who just couldn’t cope with the occasion. “We got what we deserved that day and so did Hearts.”
Don't get me started on that thug John Brown .Remember when we beat them Scottish cup ,Tommy Coyne 1-0 , his fore arm smash in Tommy's face after he scored . surprise , surprise it went unpunished . Another reason Rangers wont be missed when they die .
I'd forgotten about that Coyne was only about a yard out when he slotted it home so Brown smashed him into the net. To balance it out, there was one occasion when, I think Willie Johnston scored against Celtic at Hampden. Johnston gave Jim Craig a big GIRUY into Craig's face as the ball went in and Craig totally chopped him - big boot at him and put him on his arse To be honest, a bit of me wishes football was still like that
I remember those games at Hampden early 70's , league games !!!, they used to kick off at 1'o'clock because the Huns couldn't hold their bevy . There was one ,the referee passed the pitch fit to play after frost , Jock Stein agreed , Rangers manager picked up a bit of straw and moaned the game got called off -- Rangers didn't want to play !! Another reason Rangers won't be missed , when they disappear
You know him so well ... and just when it seems he may disappear along with the club he supports. [video=youtube;NX7JiBeGAcw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX7JiBeGAcw[/video]
