Glasgow City Council??????

Surely you mean any Cooncil

Superpally would never join Bogside.
He's a Loch Lomond player.

Wrong the old firm bullied their way to 80% share of sky money.

Not quite my friend, go check the split of TV money

Top 2 get just under 20%

Top gets 10% bottom 9.65%

That's a decent split top to bottom

That may be true but he's also a member of a club in Bridge of Weir.

you're absolutely spot on there mate. Liverpool moved on decades ago whilst the Old Firm are netrneched and will be decades before they do move on. I love Liverpool and its people, with some great friends we still visit. I used to play on the irony for Old Firm fans who instantly thought Everton were a Proddy club because of their links with Rangers signings etc!!!
Used to live in Anfield Rd and still support Everton but that area has declined a lot in recent years even though it was never that great anyway. Seems they've spent loads on the centre and docksides and left the rest of the town to go to the dogs, but I suppose it's come a long way from 20 years ago.

Yes Liverpool has moved on, even in the 80's there was still the 2/3rds bobble hat thing going on (2/3rds LFC 1'3 rd CFC or RFC) and the same at Goodison. On the kop every match was punctuated by Rangers!Celtic! being chanted depending on your persuasion (I was never bothered). It was funny seeing the daytrippers singing both though!!

TBH I have never seen it as a religious thing but more of a nationalist/Ulster thing, although they are obviously still split down the religious divide also.

Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven, Ray Wilkins, Butcher, Hateley, Gazza, Ibrox under the lights in great European, fantastic atmospheres in Europe is all a long way away now.

Yes Liverpool has vastly improved in the last 20 years, Anfield and Kensington have greatly declined though. I'm a southender.

If your ever down, give me a shout for a game at our gaff. We're about in the Kingdom are you from, I was up at St.Monans for a holiday last year, loved it around there.

At last some good news for Rangers fans:thup:


Their national team won

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Only because Sweden were scared witless as they thought they were playing Scotland in thier blue strip.

Sorry to get all religious but hasn't 'you'll never walk alone' gained religious links in England/Scotland?

Not in Scotland

Apologies. I was informed that Celtic started signing it at games.

My info was third hand so delete as applicable.

Celtic have been singing it for over 40 years but I don't know what religious element you refer to

Don't think so. There has been a friendly argument on Liverpool and celtic forums as to who started it first. Both have sung it since the 60's (some celtic claim the 50's), but no religious connotations as far as I know.

Most other footy fans also went through a stage of singing it in the 70's (I have even seen footage of Man U fans singing it).

Now maybe its my biased opinion but how the hell can this be right?

" if their application for acceptance as a newco is rejected – will be replaced by Dundee, runners-up in the Scottish Football League last season"

from this article

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ers-to-be-excluded-from-SPL-fixture-list.html

Surely if Rangers are effectively being relegated the team that was actually relegated would be granted a stay of execution?

How on earth do Dundee have the right to be promoted from second place in the first division? Its even funnier that a club who have been in administration twice in recent years are going to replace Rangers.

Maybe its just me but arent Dunfermline being a little hard done by here?

Most certainly, Dundee were not cheated out of potential points last year, Dunfie were.I'd guess a legal challenge from your team, I'd expect one if it were Hibs that were relegated.

I would also expect a legal challenge from the likes of Spartans and Edinburgh City if the The Rangers get allowed to waltz straight into the third division.

Anyone starting to get the feeling this is going to be rather messy in the next few weeks.

I can see legal challenges and threats of court action all over the place. If only Rangers had shown some humility here and apologised for years of cheating and asked nicely for permission to start at the bottom again instead of their arrogance in thinking they can just be voted straight back into the SPL.

The more you think about it they should really be starting out in non-league football and earning their way back into the leagues like Ross County and Elgin have and clubs like Spartans have tried for years to do.

Is there something ironic about Rangers FC's demise being orchestrated by two men named Green and Whyte?
