Played on Saturday 12th December

Falkirk  1  Rangers  2

Wishart 86  Hateley 18
            McCoist 75

Att. 13,6000

This game was crap and it was colder at Brockville than it was last week in
Germany. Rangers took control of this game early doors and eventually scored
the opener after some shocking offside decisions by the standside linesman
when Gordon supplied a low cross for SAlly whose shot was blocked. It broke
to the big man who turned and blasted it high into the net from about six
yards. After this, Falkirk gave a good account of themselves and were unlucky
not to equalise before half-time. The second half started with a Falkirk goal
by Billy Drinkell being chalked off after Cadette had previously fouled in
the box. This didn't wake up Rangers who were suffering from a European
hangover, from Bochum to Brockville, and they had to endure some intense
pressure from the Bairns until SAlly scored a brilliant second goal with a
curling shot from the edge of the box after Miko and Gordon had finally got
their act together. Falkirk got a consolation after a neat one two in the box
resulted in Wishart blasting the ball home. Best for Rangers was McCall with
Durrant posted missing along with a few others. Best player on the park
though was Richard Cadette.

Rangers:  Goram, Pressley, Robertson, Brown, McPherson, Gordon, McCall,
Durrant, McCoist, Hateley, Mikhailichenko

I believe is time that some of you people begin to be serious and objective 
about soccer. I have seen several stupid people claiming that there is some
way to compare Pele and Maradona.
 
It is very sad to state it but soccer international competitions such as World
Cups had their peak some years ago when it was a real sport competition and not  
a big business as it is today. In those days there was no need to create idols  
or heroes of the game by the media or other interested groups since the stars  
were there. Our beloved sport was an enjoyable activity not only to players but  
primarily to espectators. World cups were shorter, with less participating  
teams, more competitive, and specially of better quality that today's. (I still  
think that quality of soccer played in Mexico 1970 won't be seen anymore).

Unfortunately after those glorious days most of the world cup competitions have  
declined as spectacle. The game has became more defensive and consequently more  
boring. World cups are played now by quantity and not by quality of games. This  
could probably contributed to the lack of actual stars of the game, although I  
believe that money is the real cause of shortage of talented players. Precisely
is this decrease of talented players what has made those people that benefit  
with the big fortunes associated with soccer today to create false stars of the
game. There is no doubt that Maradona is a good player, but it is also true  
that he is the product of publicitary campaigns. Maradona has been in Argentina
more than a soccer superstar to become in some national heroe to help overcome  
the problems of that country. Even the argentinian government benefited with  
that "make-believe" act.

Some other people has already posted very true statements such as Maradona's  
great ability with his hands and teatrical abilities, his overweight, his  
non-consistent performance, besides the cold statistics of Diego and Pele, 
all related to soccer. If you had to compare Pele and Maradona as a persons, we
all know that Maradona is nothing but a poor ignorant that thanks to lots of  
publicity and some limited good plays (like the scored goal to England in  
Mexico 86) has become rich. We have to remember that an idiot with money is  
more notable or identified than an idiot without money. All the scandals and  
problems with the law seem to confirm it. We can not compare a diamond with a  
simple piece of coal. Pele has been and will continue being the King. Next time
that you compare something be objective, please.

Yes, yes, I remember listening to the game on the radio and rolling on the

slotted the ball home (or was it the other way round ?).

I know I won't be disappointed when I see a video of Pele, but: Being three times world Champion doesn't mean that Pele did it all alone. It could also mean that the competition wasn't as tough as that of today.

With tougher football environment I meant that there are more good players today than before.  Higher tempo, better skills compared to the overall tempo makes it harder to dominate a match today than 20 years ago.  There is no doubt about that.  Therefore, Maradona is the player of all times.

Handball should be a yellow card so the wee man would have stayed on the 
pitch and would probably have been annoyed that a perfectly good goal :-)
was disallowed and would have channeled this energy into scoreing more
goals like his second and would thus have made the game even more enjoyable
for us Scots who still enjoyed it enourmously at the time.  :-) :-)

AND we wouldn't have had to put up with the moaning English for the last
6 years :-) :-)

 and rightly so.... I saw the goal on 'Eurosport' last night and can 
understand thieir anger. Not that the decision was a false one (it was
indeed an intended backpass), but how the referee could allow this
indirect free-kick to be taken well INSIDE the five-yards-box is beyond
my imagination. The kick was taken less than two (!!) yards from the goalline
and then played a few yards back to another Bordeaux-player who slotted
the ball home. A lucky goal indeed !

'ey up pal !!, you asked for it...

Owls were well beaten by a Villa team missing 3 1st team players
& fielding 2 "rookie" 20 year olds both starting only their 2nd
full games.

  Young Atky scored 2 brilliant goals. For the first he chested
& half-volleyed in from the edge of the area. For the winner he
took advantage of a slip by Anderson on the edge of the area & 
pounced, turned & smashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

  Not bad for a "Wednesday reject...ha ha ha!!" Bet you wish you
had him playing alongside Hurst...?

  2 further points:-
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  The view from the new seated Leppings Lane end was pathetic,
with 2 roof supports obscuring 2 large strips of the pitch. At 14
quid it was a complete rip off, but thanks to Villa's great 2nd
half a good time was had. GOD HATE JUSTICE TAYLOR!

  As for "king" Atky getting "loadsa stick" I couldn't hear a 
HOOT from the OWLS boys, except the original "your not singing
any more..." just after equalizing. Never mind! What do you expect
having a "Brum Shitty Scum" reject as manager?!

	Brazil won the World Cup in 58, 62 and 70. In 66, Portugal played

Nah. If Marcus has his way they'll have cheerleaders and free Bud the
