Scootray Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Anyone hear about this story yet? Quality if it is true!! Dons fan signs up on a Rangers forum, makes a couple of posts and no-one is any the wiser he's a Dons fan.Then he makes a thread saying . . .Quote:If you want tickets for next week's title decider away to Dundee United, read here...Since the away allocation for Rangers fans of 5000 is long sold out. Tickets for the home end is the only solution.But as we all know, if youre not on Dundee United's official club/supporter database then you won't even be able to buy tickets for the home end.Here's what to do..Phone up the club shop. And ask to buy a pair of Dundee United kit socks. Don't even mention tickets for Sunday. They will become suspicious.Then when they take your sock order, personal details and process your payment your details will then be stored on their system.Give it a few hours until there's a shift change, phone up again and order your home tickets for the Rangers match and because of your sock order, you will be on their system and you will get your match tickets. It's perfect lads.Turns out, there's no such database and all these Rangers fans have ended up with hundreds of pairs of Dundee United socks and no match tickets.Hahaha, that is quality!

Murrr Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Aye, I read this when I was browsing through a Sunderland message board the other day looking for some stupid people to laugh at, although I'm certain the original story is that it was a Celtic fan and not a Dons fan.Still, classic stuff.

jon Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 It is apparently true! Furthermore, rumour has it that Levein was going to celebrate our centenary by giving out flags on Sunday. The flags in question would reference the clubs origins as Dundee Hibernian, i.e. they would be green...Crazy old Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Anyone seen that new mag called Football Punk? I assume stemming from the success of Golk Punk. The launch issue is out now for a couple of quid although I don't know how good it will be. Their main feature for the launch seems to be a Steven Gerrard interview... interviewed by Phil Babb(!). How insightful and unbiased could that possibly be? I'm a little bit weary about the slogan "Football with attitude" too. It could just essentially be a glorified Shoot magazine aimed at late teens. Infact, I'd rather read Shoot, for the jokes, speech bubbles and Broken Nose Corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 i liked the "kitty cats" feature in SHOOT (or was that Match?), Good ole Everton Thomas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Match! I'd forgotten about Match. They were practically identical magazines. Superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The Shoot! footballs were amazing. When I was 7 I could bend it like Beckham.(Then I started playing with real footballs and it all started to go wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 remember Lorenzo Amouroso in his stint as Rangers captain? Remember when he used to run the length of the pitch to insist on blasting all free kicks to the corner flag like he was shoeing a Shoot 5?That guy was class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Does anyone remember a series of books about a schoolboy footballer, where the goals were displayed in almost Andy Gray-esque graph form in the story. Don't remember much else about what happened apart from where the set-piece specialist would raise a different amount of fingers for each set piece tactic he was wanting to perform. After reading this, I proceeded to do the same for our primary school team.I also have excellent memories from primary 5 about a novel about Iceland beating Zaire in a World Cup final, where the Icelandic coach used a frozen ball to kill the Zaire dangerman; who later comes back from the dead to haunt the coach until he confesses. Really gutted that I can't find that book anywhere online or in the library Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While on the subject of shit Rangers defenders of the Advocaat era, don't forget Bert Konterman (sp?). He was gash, and probably on 20 grand a week.

Shaki Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Sad to see Caley go down. I think they'll be back up within a season or two though. Good set up, no debt, various other cliches etc. etc. I hope Kilmarnock and their big empty stadium get relegated next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
