Punks No Deid Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nearly 100 paying punters at The Murray in Polbeth sat waiting last night for the legend to make an appearance.Unfortunately it was a no show and his agent either had his phone turned off or chose not to answer the numerous calls from the staff. Pretty shabby in this day and age with mobiles etc.. a quick call or a text isn't too much to ask eh? Mibbe sounds over dramatic but lots of guys I spoke to had paid for taxis, changed work shifts etc.. to be there.. but even worse was how do you explain to wee jambos like Lawrence Lammie (age 8) who sat waiting till 10 o'clock - that the guy his dad Chief n Uncle Scott told him was a footballing great couldn't make it and we don't know why?? Fair play to the guys in The Murray like Marie, Wullie n Rab H who did their best but but there's not much they can do when its a no show with no explaination why - shabby doesn't come close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bebeto Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That is poor. My auld man was there, as he is every night!!!, and looking forward to it. He had a weeks holiday, couldnt play golf cause of the monsoons and now a no show from the wee man. He is the jinx I tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 You're probably right, Ally McCoist did this to Craig Levein during his testimonial year and thought it was ok to phone and apologise to Levein 2 days later because something came up, not serious. With all due respect Ally, Craig Levein can listen to your shite anytime, it was every paying punter you should have apologised to. However, before criticising Robbo you should find out that nothing serious has actually happened. If he has let you down I'd expect the wee man to make up for it. Extremely unusual behaviour from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. You are right that in this day and age calling in is easy. I didn't criticise McCoist until I found out it wasn't a serious thing that resulted in his no show. Mate of mine (Hibby who ran the four-in-hand) organised the Levein do and everyone had paid ?50 each. Very embarrassing for him and I seriously felt his pain.

Gregory House M.D. Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Maybe give the wee man a chance to explain. If something serious has happened in his family or something you're going to look a bit silly. Can't see Robbo just not turning up for something like that for no reason.

They had one with Frank MacAvennie before that went well The Macavennie one turned into Celtic fans turning on him because he would not answer questions on Rangers problems. There was one for Andy Goram last year it was good because of the banter he was having with Hearts fans in the pub about playing for Hibs he took it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
