    I'm in that group too. I think we're the treacherous, turncoat b******s that they hate the most.

    Bafflement and indifference on our part winds them up more than the outright hatred they get from the other side, which is a language they understand and can relate to.

    It would increase competition within Scotland but destroy quality and every other league in Europe would leave us in the dark ages.
    I've genuinely never understood that argumemt. Why would we as Hibs fans or as Scottish football fans care what the quality was like elsewhere? Why would anyone care what anyone in Europe thinks of the standard of our football?

    Does anyone really lay awake at night worrying about that? FWIW i suspect the people of Belgium, Holland, Portugal, Estonia, and Latvia think about our league about as much as I do about theirs - ie they don't.

    BDO sue Rangers administrators Duff and Phelps for £ 28.9 million for mishandling their insolvency management.

    http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/1...million_claim/

    This will be the same BDO who mishandled the Hearts insolvency by omitting to have an un-connected creditor vote at the CVA meeting and accepted a pittance for the HOMFC assets by selling them to Mrs Budge.

    You couldn't make it up !

    Lundys!!

    They do seem to have a bizarre notion that every Scottish Protestant has a Rangers connection somewhere, as does every Catholic to Celtic. Weird people who wouldn't recognise a Bible if they saw one.

    Scotlands shame that this behaviour seems to thrive in certain backward looking communities.

    Administration can't be far away. Accounts said £4m external funding needed to get to end of season, Ashley case in March, roofs effed, unpaid bills including instalment on Garner's fee to Preston. If he wins his case will Big Mike vote for a CVA though?

    Given that the 25pt penalty for a 2nd administration within 5 years is about to become spent, I wouldn't be surprised if we find out soon.

    Looking at the table though, a 15pt penalty would make any chance of a europa place extremely dodgy, so it may be after the end of the season before they elect to take the hit...a bit like hertz when they declared after the season had closed, to save their premiership status

    Will dodgy Daves warchest finally be opened and a bit of over investment be made to save the rangers from becoming the newly defunct successors of the now defunct Glasgow rangers?

    If they do liquidate themselves again will they have to give up that petrofac cup win? Their only cup so it will be a real sore one for them.

    Does King actually have any money to invest? You can't believe a word he says.

    About as much as Craig White and Cheeky Charlie Green probably. They set the standard, don't actually have to put any cash up, just get the pro hun media convinced you're the Messiah and you're ready to go.

    Hun supportin media probably dont need convincing. Just desperate for ANYTHING, like the orcs, to back up their sense of entitlement as "establishments team". When ye think about it, Bandersons pretty much a carbon copy in the East.

    Having read that again I think it's unfair to mock the afflicted, being deranged is bad enough but having a persecution complex and seeming to be a the rangers minded soul is surely a heavy enough cross to bear

    Even if he has any money it will be a devil of a job to get it out of South Africa.

    Even if he can get the money out, the decline in the conversion rate of the Rand to Sterling will mean it will be very little.

    He is, after all, a 'glib and shameless liar'.

    In Hunlogic, Rangers == Protestant.

    Therefore if you hate Rangers, you are an anti-Protestant bigot and any pejorative term for a Rangers supporter, eg. Hun, is automatically anti-Protestant bigotry.

    Protestants (by background I mean, including myself although I'm an atheist) who hate Rangers really freak them out.

    Personally I'm all for moderated liberalism with a live and let live culture. I have no time for bigots yet in Scotland bigoted bile is allowed to be heard being belted out every other week from mostly the rangers fans. I cannot for the life of me understand how on earth the sfa and/or politicians do not take action to stamp out such hatred. It absolutely baffles me how it is quietly tolerated by the authorities.

    I remember the first time I heard "the famine song" at Easter Road (it may well have been the first time it was aired anywhere, I'm sure it was a Sunday game).

    I am an Edinburgh-born Scottish protestant (in the loosest possible way, I've never been to church other than weddings and funerals) and both my granddads were Rangers fans.

    There was a certain irony that there will have been an element amongst their fans who will have woken up at the crack of dawn, got the boat over from Northern Ireland and come to Easter Road to sing "why don't you go home" to me, within a mile or so of both my flat and my birthplace.

    They really need to all be kept in one place to make it easier to find them for police glasgows crack sectarian hate squad when they finally decide to wake up.

    Same as the EEN site for yams who are thicker than the average yam, or just want the chance to communicate with, but never meet like minded deviants
