I wouldn't call him a racist, but a mouth-breather for sure. Ah, I wasn't aware about the previous charge. Scottish football does seem to be a hotbed of people eager to take offence right now.

There is suggestion that he stayed quiet during the refugee bit too. Echoes of Donald Findlay QC though.
Echoes of, "I didn't inhale".
So, are Rangers really on the brink again?

Is it just me or is the article laden with innuendo-of-sorts?
"I ask loyal fans, and I pick my words carefully" and the "Union of fans".
Either way it's such a miserable, backward looking organisation. I wouldn't miss them one bit.
What will they all do each week if they fold I wonder, ferry it to Windsor for Linfield for a few songs maybe.
Or form a F.C.U.M. type effort, The Rangers Union Of The Loyal & Embittered Of Glasgow With No Place In This Century F.C., perhaps.
Those are some shocking comments from Easdale. "It doesn't matter who's running the club, you just have to be loyal and give us loadsamoney." What kind of idiot would fall for that?
I presume that's rhetorical :)

Mr. Butcher doesn't seem to be doing much better at Hibs than Pat Fenlon.

At about 3.30.

Roddy for Celtic?
A Proddy yes, Roddy no!
Hibs surrender a 2-0 first leg lead and go out on penalties. Hilariously, Rangers, Hibs and Hearts will all contest the Championship next year, providing Rangers Mk II still exists.
Aye, we know.
What happened to 'all' the Hibs fans on here...
:rolleyes:
Only Ardee would arrive at a postabout an event a day late and announce to everybody that "we" already know.
Difficult for me to reply quicker, given I was out/busy...
And only you would bother to reply Chas...that we do know!

It's not really hilarious for Scottish football though with even less competition for Celtic next year. Their trips to Tynecastle were at least something to savour with a bit of an edge. Can't believe Hibs were relegated. They had such a terrible end to the season. Bring back Pat Fenlon.Quote:

In the footballing sense, I don't think it makes a huge amount of difference that there's one team challenging for the title compared to two. Hearts and Hibs didn't feature in any meaningful sense this season so it's not like the league will be less competitive compared to this year.Quote:

Seeing as Rangers were still shown live fairly regularly I'd say there'll be no fear of the Edinburgh derbies not being televised. In fact, there might even be more significance to the games now as they'll potentially represent more than just local pride.
I switched on the telly just as everyone was shaking hands at FT in Dundee v Celtic. Paul Hartley looks like he's been seeing Steve Bruce's dietician. I'd be surprised if either makes it to 60 at this rate.
Is it conceivable that Celtic might not win the SPL this season? I saw them on TV against Zagreb in the Europa League and despite winning, they were very poor and last weekend they lost at home to Hamilton. They seem to have gone back hugely since even last season and some of their purchases look really poor.
I'd say Chelsea or City have the EPL title wrapped up. Would be shocked to see Celtic break up that duopoly.
Er, :confused:
And currently Celtic are somewhat erratic...
I had a typo which he picked up on (EPL instead of SPL).Quote:

Very divided about Ronny, just another episode on the rollercoaster.
Surely he's the worst coach Celtic have had in yonks? Arguably the weakest SPL ever and he's struggling.
Mowbray, Brady, Barnes, even Macari to name but 4.
Deila actually has a better win ratio than Lennon in the equivalent no. of games but bar 1-2 matches, the performances have been completely unconvincing, plus crowds and the playing staff are both currently dwindling.
Ultimately Desmond holds the purse strings. It's up to him.
How's Delia's win ratio calculated? From what I can see, Celtic have less points in the league at this stage than they ever did under Lennon, plus they've lost three times in Europe?
Not acc.to the Celtic MB's & Fbk pages...they do know!
Celtic failed to qualify for either the CL or EL in Lennon's first season too which wasn't best start but did 'come good' of sorts eventually.
Well I suppose it depends if you count the walkover in Europe as a win, but three losses and a draw in Europe plus 14 points from 8 games in the worst SPL in decades must be a new low. From what I've seen, no other manager in the past decade has ever dipped below 18 or 19 points at that point.
The general state of the SPL is a major factor against Deila, regardless of the stats as it's definitely got poorer because 3 'big' teams were justifiably relegated.
So it'll be Celtic v Rangers in League Cup semi final at the end of January.
Of course Motherwell did meet mighty opponents in the EL qualifiers, curtailing their progress.Quote:

Having had a peep at a few games this season, I would tend to agree based on what I observed. The demise of Rangers has had a beneficial effect on the overall standard of the spl.
Actually it's 'The Celtic' F.C. (1888) v. 'The Rangers' F.C.(2012)Quote:

Here, will you go back to Hugh Dallas and the penny throwing then while you're scraping up old news.
Well if someone implied you were making things up, would you provide sources and facts to back up what you say? IDK you. Maybe you wouldn't.
