Yep really feeling my age reading through all these posts.
Just two mentions of Rodney.
Fair play, probably not many on here remember seeing live Rodney in his pomp.
He was so much more than "that hat trick against Birmingham."
To think on Saturday the 60th year of the R's doing the double will be celebrated.
When I was first taken to the Bush on Ocober1 1966 celebrating something that happened 60 years ago would be taking us back to 1906!!!!
Make the most of your time young uns life soon flies by! |

Thread | League 2 Worldie Goal !
at 10:46 3 Sep 2026
Newport's Harrison Biggins scored an absolute screamer against Salford last night.
Never mind halfway line this guy shot from at leaat 70 yards out.
ITV showed it just the once in their "highlights" show.JUST ONCE!
No doubt if a premier league player had scored a goal as good as this the pundits would be salivating over it for weeks and Talksport would be analysing it ad nauseam.
Makes Beckham's 1996 effort against Wimbledon look like a tap in.
Shame that Harrison wont get any plaudits for his strike,after all it's only Newport not "real" football like the premier league BORE-A-THON.
Shame Newport lost 2-1.

Real shame,was really hoping she would pull through..
I remember buying her debut hit Lost In France back in 1976.
With that raspy voice people at the time were calling her the female Rod Stewart.
Her 1983 album Faster Than The Speed Of Light was produced by Jim Steinman and gave Bonnie her one and only UK number 1,Total Eclipse Of The Heart.
RIP Bonnie.
Those of us of a certain age will always remember you and that distinct raspy voice. |

See you guys with your modern trickery..I just recorded everything on BBC 1 from midnight through 'till 6 am.
Got up this morning no tele,no radio on and I hadn't got a clue what the result was.
Luckily my other half doesn't know a football from a golf ball so no interference there!
Some game to say the least.
Let's hope Harry gets his voice back soon!! |

Thread | Gary Linekar's Campaign.
at 08:20 3 Jul 2026
Flicking through the channels I came across Piers Morgan's World Cup Uncensored on Channel 5.Late into the programme our old "friend" John Terry and Simon Jordan were chatting about Gary Linekar's campaign to get Emma Hayes to become the next Leicester City manager.
So throwing it out there,could you see a time when a woman is standing in the dug out here at HQ directing operations and giving our boys instructions from the sidelines?
Could it work or is the men's game and the woman's game like chalk and cheese?
The ironic thing is that Linekar's Netflix show-The Rest Is Football-is rated 15 because it's full of fffin and blinding used for "comedic effect"(?) and to give the show a sense of "dressing room realism".
Without being sexist would that "realism" work with a woman as the head coach?
Perhaps I'm old school but if I'm in the company of a woman I never swear.
It's the way I was brought up.
Anyway if there was a campaign to have a woman as our next head coach at Rangers what would your reaction be? |

I bought loads of reggae/dub back in the early 80's but most of it was on Greensleeves and the reason for that was because Greensleeves Records were based here in the Bush at 44 Uxbridge Road.Rangers and reggae!
Clint Eastwood and General Saint,Yellowman with the classic album
ZUNGGUZUNGGUGUZUNGGUZENG,Eeek-A-Mouse and Simple Simon with the fabulous Life in the Ghetto just some of my buys back in the day.
Beautiful !2" releases in colourful Greensleeves covers.
Based now in Hammersmith Road but I would imagine more corporate then back in the early 80's.

Very much an outside chance of Champions league for the Bees. 3 games left and two of those are away to Liverpool and Man City.
Bees have won just 4 of their last 14 games which means the Premier League is either very competitive this season or absolutely rubbish this season if you can still harbour dreams of CL football next season.
4 wins from 14 and a "chance" of Champions League football!!
Not April 1 is it? |

Thread | Worthing Promoted To National League.
at 11:51 27 Apr 2026
A great first time achievement no question,but Truro's promotion was hailed as a great achievement a year ago and look what happened to them.
Like Truro, Worthing face two main issues.
Firstly, the National League is mainly populated by ex-football league clubs all of them full-time and all with larger capacities than Worthing's 3000-4000.
The other drawback is one that the Truro manager,John Askey, often referred to and that is the travelling involved.
Granted Worthing is not as isolated as Truro but from travelling to away games located in the south Worthing will definitely be making the following next season.
All round trips mileage approx..
BARROW..700, GATESHEAD 680, HARTLEPOOL 650, AFC FYLDE 600 , FC HALIFAX 550,ALTRINCHAM 500.
Depending on the National League and National League North play-offs, trips to
CARLISLE (720) ROCHDALE (570) SCARBOROUGH (600) CHESTER (530) MACCLESFIELD (500) could also be on the cards.
I really hope Worthing do well next season and are not 2026-2027's Truro City.
But the travelling to quite a few away games-by road not air-is likely to be an issue as it was for Truro.
Perhaps Worthing have a wealthy benefactor and flying to the above games will be on the cards.
In which case ignore my second issue with regards to the travelling! |

Thread | ABSOLUTE JOKE!
at 12:56 22 Apr 2026
So Liam Rosenior given a 5 year contract back in January is sacked after 4 months.
Chels have to cough up £24 million to pay him off!!!!
How many managers last 5 years?
Bonkers, and it really sums up that mob in SW6
Then you get Jason Cundy on Talksport saying he couldn't think of a worse Chels performance.
So where was he on 31 March 1986?
Of course Chels were just an ordinary Division 1 team with the chairman talking about putting up electrified fences around the pitch.
Many home games attracting attendances under 20000.
12000 for the final home game v Watford.
Yes we moan and groan cus and curse about Rangers performances and we are not World Champions (!) but I'm so glad my old man took me to the Bush on 1 October 1966 and not to SW6.
The Rangers.MY TEAM and proud of it. |

Reply | Does anyone read AKUTR'S.
at 10:18 18 Mar 2026
Been reading AKUTRS since the last century.
The quality rarely dips and I love reading about the 60's/70's-being of a certain vintage.
But who can own up to having bought this mammoth doorstep of a book that Dave had published back in 2004?
Entitled "But First an Apology..The Very Best of A Kick Up The R's Volume 1" this is a book containing 600 pages A4 in size.I think it sold for £25.The cover featured a colourful montage of celebrating Rangers fans and the team celebrating promotion in 2004.Bottom right corner of the cover a small picture of a youthful looking Dave deep in thought!
Over 20 years on and I still flick through this massive tome and re-read certain articles again and again (to quote the Quo) .
Never ever seen this for sale on Ebay or anywhere else.
So anyone out there also got this fabulous book? |
