Clearly some of the Sevco fans would prefer to support a football team like this guy. Many of them however seem to want to be in the KKK/Orange Order. The problem is that the jokers in charge know they can make much more money out of the facists much like Celtc (I was there) know they can make much more out of peddling the sectarian plastic paddy p1sh.Quote:

An ego driven inexperienced youth coach with a grudge that's prone to over-emotional responses? Sounds perfect. :wink:Quote:
"Sitting on the bench at home against Manchester United at home was tough to take as well and was probably the reason why I was sent off within 30 seconds."
I've no idea whether Gerard will eventually be a good manager or not, but at this stage of his career the link to Rangers must be about getting season tickets sold. His name might be attractive to top players, the available budget might not.
It takes attention away from the current big Ibrox question. Will King put money in an account this week for the share offer?
If he is appointed, will he deny his Kafflick background like Joey Barton did?
He already is. Claiming he went to a Catholic school but isn't actually Catholic. Like his parents would have sent him there if he wasn't. :rolleyes:Quote:

Wikipedia seems to be confused, as it says "He is a practising Roman Catholic".
I was a practicing Episcopalian who went to a Catholic school just outside Glasgow, neither my parents (including my Rangers supporting, masonic Lodge attending father), nor the school had any issues with it. It was a good school and it was where all my friends were going so that was where I wanted to go. It's really not an issue in Scotland either.Quote:

Very lucky though as he's getting more attention as they teachers aren't (in theory) stretched as they would be in a class of 30/40Quote:

If Gerrard had to even or felt he had to for 1 second mention his religion or how he was brought up or what he believes now he shouldn't be going anywhere near that sort of club.
If he takes this on and even once mentions his past in relation to religion of any sort then he deserves all he gets for going there.

I posted a month ago that King might use getting funds out of South Africa as an excuse for delay or non-compliance. We'll see how long the patience of other directors and the TOP lasts.

I don’t know what experience you have of current culture in schools but I suggest it’s very little. It would be nice if people would stop peddling these myths which many parents feel pressured into believing.Quote:

There was one poster trying to suggest that maybe posting racist crap was actually out of order and he was rounded on by pretty much the entire board - the moderate posters merely saying he wasn't "a rangers man" and the rest just going straight for Fenian/Taig.
Particularly hilarious was where, relatively reasonable hun suggested that racism wouldn't be tolerated in the workplace and was met with the response that if his boss had a problem with it he should call him a Fenian, shout **** the Pope and storm out the office.
These people shouldn't be at liberty on the streets.
