I don't actually know his name. I'd never met him before, and he just went by Monkey that day.
Probably who I think it is.
Mad as a hatter, that fu.ckin daft he phones Radio Clyde most nights.

Woodside mate, never seem to be out that place these daysBrian Fulton was one of the best Bluenoses I've ever met and an absolute gentleman into the bargain.
I was at Brian's funeral at Woodside with my Rangers colours on.
A true Rangers diehard!
Must be. I never used the renfrew loyal bus. When I first started going to games, I used the queen st bus, then started making my own way for many years. Football special loyalThat'll be the same Dougie that helped start the Renfrew Loyal then.
Yup, he ran about with my uncle back in the day.
I’m pretty sure the Kennedys bus became the West End True Blues.
Kennedys had there own bus the tudor bus stopped they moved to castle street and the west end true blues formed
You’re bang on mate.Davie Moyes ran the west end true blues, castle st started as the jimmy nichol loyal rsc in 1986, Brian donaghy ran it.

Remember going to Feyenoord, on the train through from Charleroi. Met a load of boys from paisley, we were all firing in to the drink. We had paid our tickets, every stop these super troopers disappeared then re-appeared.
The ticket collector was doing his rounds, everytime there was a stop they all jumped off at the front, and dived back in at the back. The collector worked back to front. I remember one of them was called monkey. That's all. Think they got all the way from belgium to holland without paying a bean.
Cool story i suppose.
If it is then I know him from a different source.Is that IC??

Im kimd of split between Glasgow and Largs now. Largs has a great Rangers bus.
The Tudor was a St Mirren pub, Paisley had the west end (castle street orange halls), the three horseshoes, Clarke's, the Croft bar, these buses would pick up at other pubs before heading to the game. I don't remember any Rangers bus leaving from the Tudor, what I do remember it was full of St Mirren memorabilia.Where was the 3 horseshoes ? I helped run The Tudor Loyal in the 80”s

Not trying to be funny but I'm sure the Tudor Loyal was named after the Tudor Arms as it left from there. I do remember getting the bus from the Tudor Arms.
There was also a Saints bus left from the Tudor run by Toshy who was quite a character. The pub itself had a mix of Gers , Saints and a fair few Tim’s. The owners were RC St Mirren fans. Many of our crowd got barred and we moved to Ronnie Bar next door.The Tudor was a St Mirren pub, Paisley had the west end (castle street orange halls), the three horseshoes, Clarke's, the Croft bar, these buses would pick up at other pubs before heading to the game.

Why does it all feel like better days back then, even when we were pish.
No definitely not.The more I think of it, was the bus that left from the 3 horseshoes not the same one that left from the Halls in Castle Street? As I said earlier we just drank there, and drove to the games.
That's true mate. I've put a hit out on the guy who started the phrase, life begins at 40. Biggest lie in the english language.Innocence of youth mate.
Was at that game, polis opened a section of the away end for bears, must have been hundreds of us. I remember Rougvie and Nevin getting pelters from the bears.Liverpool v Chelsea was a great trip standing on tables in the pub singing GSTQ.

The Tudor bus ran from the Tudor til mid 80's. Cant remember when the Tudor closed but the bus moved around RicksBar, indoor bowling, Castle St OH, Websters, Croft Bar, think latterly is it was at the Teagardens.The Tudor was a St Mirren pub, Paisley had the west end (castle street orange halls), the three horseshoes, Clarke's, the Croft bar, these buses would pick up at other pubs before heading to the game.

I think you are right and then maybe it became Reflections.Did that become Pillars?

You sir with the greatest of respect are talking pish. Tudor Loyal is fairly self explanatory. The Bislands although all RC did not care for the 19th Century Terrorists (because they could/cannot behave)).
