Sorry, couldn't let this go past without comment.

Rangers reserves? I thought Rangers had a 'pool' of 
first team players and that was what was playing?

Have I been misled?

    rep -1
    
    Yes, you've been misled!
    
    Rangers were minus Gough,Durie,Gascoigne and Rozental, while the Tic
    were at full strength.
    
    Rangers were utter crap and the best team won though.
    
    Looks like Kilmarnock must be favourites fot the cup now!

598.10Another barfPATE::POUNDERFri Mar 07 1997 15:278
    
    Scuse me....!!!! Whenever the hell did Rozenthal and Durie missing mean
    that Rangers fielded a reserve team. Take the defeat on the chin, admit
    Rangers played bad and get on with your sad life.  Do you really grudge
    us one win "in ten" as was pointed out ?  OK...you do...so would I !

     Draw for the semi's made on Monday 10th at 6.30PM live on BBC1. 
598.12Semi-final DrawPATE::POUNDERMon Mar 10 1997 20:1212
    
    Just read Reuters.....semi-final draw is :-
    
    		Celtic v Falkirk  		April 12th  -  Ibrox
    		Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd		April 14th  -  Easter Road
    
    Celtic v Dundee Utd final would appear to be the betting man's choice.
    Any other outcome would probably be a blow for the sponsors, although
    Killie fans would likely claim they would have more ticket demand than
    United....and with some justification too. 
    
    Trevor
598.13Don't think so...ALERT::SYS_132894Mon Mar 10 1997 21:1113
    
    
    re .last
    
    "Killie fans would likely claim they would have more ticket demand than
     United....and with some justification too"
    
     Eh, how do you work that one out, I'm quite sure United have a bigger
    average home attendance than the North Ayrshire relegation candidates
    or maybe you mean Killie (spit) would have more big-game turn up once
    a decade "supporters".
    
    Danny.
598.14History tells the storyPATE::POUNDERTue Mar 11 1997 02:037
    
    I mean it either way you look at it. United have proven before that
    even on big games they have a limited ticket demand. Kilmarnock could
    and would attract a bigger demand. Remember all the huns would go to
    their end too...same songs right ?  %^)

     Match report from last night,
    
    
     Well, if all the press reports are anything to go by, it was one
    boring game, beamed live on SKY TV. As I was returning home from
    holiday at 33k feet, I suppose I was lucky to miss it. Checked teletext
    when I got home, sports headlines was along the lines of "Scots serve
    up no-score bore" or something similar.

598.21Carefull....PATE::POUNDERThu Apr 24 1997 17:518
    
    Iain...need to pull you up on your spelling since it affects a
    copyrighted name !  Whisky (without the 'e') is exculsively reserved
    for Scotch. All others...Japanese, Bourbon, Irish etc etc need to use
    the 'e' (whiskey). Don't think Johnnie Walkers would appreciate the
    spelling you use...obvious I've nothing else to say eh ?

     >use the 'e' (whiskey).
    
    What is all this blather? 
    
    Bourbon is Bourbon, the Japanese drink that rice stuff, Whiskey is
    Irish, and Scotch is a gutburning mixture of dangerous ketones and
    aldehydes,  which, as Brendan Behan pointed out a long time ago, would
    not even be drinkable at all were it not blended with Irish Whiskeys.
    
    Have you been tested for dementia Pounder ?

    Oi...they all say whiskey on the label..except scotch..it says whisky.
    
    I don't want to get into a debate on this...I merely helped out a
    fellow Jock who missspeltt whisky as applied to scotch...hth
