Should Patrick Roberts be playing tonight?

 

Great goal. Looks a cracking player.

On the tram to the ground, loads of pissed up Celtic fans were arguing with each other - eventually 3 of them got off a stop earlier to "sort it out" - absolutely mullered they were. Reckon one punch would've settled it with the state they were in. Pretty embarrassing watching grown men in that state....

....and then I remembered us watching Bolton away in Europe. Oh dear.

I cringe looking back at some of the states of our lot.

 

How a fella we know tony didn't get us killed in Marseilles I'll never know. Wandering round in front of cars on a duel carriageway shouting abuse at folk.

 

Some blokes had clearly never been to another country watching football.

came across their police escort which started at Sinclairs Oyster bar and headed up past Shudehill

 

some at the back could barely stand up and the police coming up the rear on horses were constantly on top of them telling them to hurry the fuck up etc

 

that was a 6pm so wouldn't surprise me if they didn't get to the ground in time for KO state they were in

Saw this in my magazine this month, Horwich RMI's old ground. Been told many a story about watching these by some of the people I go with now. Anyone else used to go watching them?

I think my mates mainly went because it was the only place they could get a drink on a Saturday afternoon in Horwich-on-Sea, but they enjoyed it. Specially a day at Blackpool in the cup!

It all now makes sense now that my dad took me if it was the only place he could get a pint

 

I used to stand to the right, as you look at it, of that main stand because thst little building to the right was the clubhouse where my dad went for 90 mins and left me outside

 

Other than Enfield and Weymouth in the cup the only other big crowd i remember was bolton in a pre season friendly

 

Was gutted when they moved to wigan

 

Who incidently my dad saw rmi play in a league game (or maybe the cup but they were of a similar level at the time or something)

Posted

Played on there for the now defunct Bolton Braves. Grundy Hill was our home ground and, but for a 66-0 thrashing by the Glasgow Diamonds in our first ever proper league game, it became a happy hunting ground for us as visitors seemed to struggle with the hill.

 

Our gym teacher at BCGS John Valentine used to tell us he was RMI's right back. Not sure if there's a way of checking on that these days?

 

Only football match I ever saw there was some sort of Schools Cup Final.

I used to hate Marine coming, the filthy scouse bastards. IIRC, they used to bring a few.
