Jimbo Ram

How Bruce’s free kick didn’t break the net I will never know...

Was playing in a chess tournament that day, kept getting up from the table and checking the scores on my radio....the Rams were more important than the chess game ?

wow I was there for the Newcastle game. Nine year old however was getting crushed at the Ossie end had to be taken out of the crowd before the start of the game to go to the medical room it was scary. Missed the whole game however one of my favourite football goals ever scored was the 4th goal by George simplicity but brilliant (take a look on you tube) the Hector back flip and then will always remember the detail of the goal right down to George taking a little touch just before he shoots to set the finish up and then he sinks to his knees and realises the rams are in the semi-finals.

4 March 2001. I don’t know what game was on but I spent the afternoon before missing the rams beat spurs at home as I waited patiently for the birth of my one and only son at Derby hospital. 
also watched re runs of Barca v Madrid, ant and Dec and the Australian grand prix live....It was a long long day..

Is that the game where we had a perfectly good goal disallowed too?

How have some got the wrong end of the stick, not rocket science ?

MTW seems a long time ago ?

I wouldn’t worry for now. Wazza still has a lot to prove and is still learning his trade, not the finished article yet.

My MOM tonight, incredible ability to hold up the ball, great control and touch. Capped by a wonderful assist for Waggers.

Superb from Colin. Some great play, not just strength but a beautiful touch and  fantastic awareness.

You get me all wrong Will. I love Scotland, got relations in Scotland, used to go to Scotland on walking holidays every year as a kid, love the Scottish football...it is just the pretence that Scottish football is decent and of interest to anyone else outside of Glasgee that gives me the hump.......the only Scottish football match I have ever seen was a pre season match between Arbroath and Wigan in the 1970's whilst we were up on holiday...right by the sea......what a match......

Was in Edinburgh....celebrating my birthday. Got the result in a pub just down from Edinburgh castle....

My 50th Birthday Party. We were losing and then stormed back. Remember going out in to the car park to get the results on the radio. Set me up for a good night ?
