In 1967 just before the so called troubles started in Ulster a mate and I went over to Belfast for the 12th (we were young and naive at the time). To cut a long story short we had no return ticket and no money left for the return journey and ended up on the Sunday morning down at the docks as the boat was getting ready to sail. A few of the Derry were also there in the same position as we were with no money and no tickets. One of the Derry lads told us to follow them and between us, about eight to ten handed we jumped a fence and ran to wards the gang plank and pushed the sailor at the bottom to the side and ran up onto the boat, the sailor at the bottom was more amused than angry and didn't kick up a fuss. We all hid in the toilets till the boat sailed. The boat stopped at Ardrossan rather than going up the Clyde so we had to jump a train to Glasgow and rush passed the ticket collector at the central station. We parted company with the Derry in the town as we headed our separate ways but without their knowhow I might still be stuck in old Belfast town today. It wasn't you that day Pitbull, if it was, or was some of your mates then thanks. PS so that this post doesn't end up with legal action for fair dodging I have fully refunded, with interest, the cost of the passage from Belfast to Ardrossan and to the old British Rail the cost of a one way ticket from Ardrossan to Glasgow central ;D

I know what you mean Pitbull, I remember one game I went to down in England with the Parkheed Supporters club, it was a European game, either against Newcastle or Leeds, we stopped at a services and other Gers buses pulled in at the same time, they were like locus's, (probably the Mermaid bus) )they all came in to the sweety shop bit and almost cleared it, sweets, ginger, fags, the Beno and Dandy, everything, and there was nobody there to stop them. PS in case of any criminal prosecutions, I must add that me and my Parkheed fellow blue nosies never seen or touched a thing

I knew him well he went to London Road School with me and then Rivvy for awhile...his second name was McKenzie. The last I saw of him was when he used to frequent our pub before the Old Firm gemmes at Celtic Park in the late 1980's and he was living in the Darnley area. Legend has it he once charged into the Hutchie at the Carnival on the Glesga Green thinking he had a team handed following behind him but when he looked through his good eye he realised he was on his 'jack jones' and it was too late to retreat and he couldn't escape his oncoming attackers and was kicked up and doon Fleshers Haugh. ;D ;D ;D

anybody remember aldo fae the derry he was a right comedian. big alan berry big aldo used tae like to dance around celtic supporters buses that made the mistake of passing the toll at the mermaid, a couple of buses came around the corner and were caught in traffic, and the whole crew came out the mermaid after we ran in and told them CELTIC BUSES CELTIC BUSES ;D there was certain derryboys wi hatchets caving aw the windows in lead by big bill campbell the leader of the derry in them days, it was funny at the time but looking back in hindesight , a disgusting act, you live and learn as ye get older, so hence the song one day at brigton cross some celtic buses try,d to pass, and all you could hear was the sound of broken glass. we were on the receiving end of a brick coming through our bus one day in the gorbals and its a terrifying experiance what goes round comes round pure thuggery and stupidity.

hello hello we are the derry boys ;D gutting yerself charlie when i first came doon here tae england i emptied a few spray paint tins, walls cars bus stops everything we didnt bother with the tag stuff the jamaican boys do aw that stuff on the london underground, i remember my we mate nibbs getting the jail in baltic street for painting our names and gang slogans on the wall. ;D ;D ;D he was howling as the polis dragged him away he was only a wee boy the dirty bassarts and the wall was condemned to be knocked down, but wan time i got payed plenty for painting a load of walls in alperton near wembley with para military slogans of both sides and bridgeton derry wulso scotty smidy 1690 etc, it was a film set ;D ;D ;D as i worked as a scenic carpentar and buider at the BBC and we did a film to do with northern ireland, and bushmills whiskey, on 3 different locations alperton, rotherhithe and a place outside london called henley on thames at a disused brewery, which we used as a mock barracks for our actor soldiers and a jail for irish stone throwers. it was quite interesting doing the sets for films and tv programmes and news desks, but the best bit was the licence to spray the walls ;D the film was called heroes i think. made around 1995 -96 and as for the seige mentality its great when anyone comes i just look on my tv monitor who,s outside and if i know them i,ll open the gates if NOT they can GTF ;D and my staffy keeps the front guarded the gates of brigton reinvented in england ;D
