I’ve never heard t he Irish flag be called the tricolour before however. Anyway all that was before my time. I don’t see us winning tomorrow however. Hoping we do but not confident
This is definitely not my sort of thing with respect I don't go in for fictional galaxies.

Were any of you at the infamous friendly v Rangers in 76?
I don't know what that is? C-3PO or See-Threepio is a humanoid robot character in the Star Wars franchise. Star Wars is a space opera film series about a war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. The story takes place in a fictional galaxy "a long time ago" This is definitely not my sort of thing with respect I don't go in for fictional galaxies.
There was about half a dozen of them on new street this afternoon shouting and drinking on the street and basically acting the c**t.
Quote from: brontebilly on January 27, 2025, 10:44:52 PMWere any of you at the infamous friendly v Rangers in 76? I was walking through town at 7 in the morning after an all night party in Moseley. Saw coaches coming off Spaghetti junction, full of rabid Scots banging the windows and offering us out. Decided to give it a miss. Few of my mates saw me after the game and filled me in on what had happened. Quite a few Dads went to the City centre that evening looking for payback. Tony Butler on BRMB was imploring people not to go out for revenge. Looking back, I’m amazed Villa arranged that friendly. Rangers had caused mayhem at Elland Road and St James Park in other so called friendlies . It is of note though that the Blues had played a friendly the week before against Celtic, and although there were a few arrests, pretty normal for those times, there was nothing like the mayhem we were subjected to.
