They charge a lot for admission
To watch our average teams
In an over hyped premier league

Because the […] -

He came to us with great expectation
After his stint at Celtic park

Does Doogie realise we’re bad or has he turned a blind eye

And go and buy myself a black tie

Deluded Dug is the new man in charge
And is as stubborn as a mule
His team selections baffle
And he`s a complete utter fool
He waits until the team’s behind

Thank you Al and Welcome to Football Poets..
Too often in the shadow and wake of Hillsborough, Bradford and Heysel, your powerful and emotive lines remind us of a tragic day when 66 died and many more were injured at Ibrox .
RIP

Wow. That is a fantastic tale John.Thank you. Funny and sad but hysterical. You totally captured the vibe back then.I was too small to see in those huge crowds at the Bridge when i first went to Chelsea on Dec 25 ’57 (Chelsea 7-4 Portsmouth (when Greaves scored 4) but remember …ev’ry week so well …the old Peanut sellers chucking their peanuts to the crowd .And then us chucking our sixpences back .(Tanner a bag) And then stamping on them or chucking back the shells at our mates and the cops too. God Bless Mrs Michella the Crystal Palace peanut seller….and all long gone peasnut sellers.
