How is he taking it too far? Surely he is pointing out that The Rangers are losing cash at an alarming rate. It cannot continue and if it does they are going back to square one 2 years to the day after the original administration. Nothing wrong with that.Quote:

In the way you meant. He's not objectively reporting on the situation, I just find his whole style cringey: his language, the way he changed his name to something "more Irish", the way he moved "back" to Ireland (despite being from Glasgow). He is everything anti-Rangers, he's almost a parody of a Celtic fan you'd be more likely to see in "Only an Excuse?"Quote:

Does he ever talk about Celtic?
I'm just pointing out that Mac Giolla Bhain isn't his real name, he's changed it to be "more Celticy"Quote:

BTW I don't like the writing style of the Sun so I don't read it, suggest you just give him a wide berth if you don't like his style.
Not wanting to criticise and mean this as a real question. Why do you call yourself "the Governor" and have an image of a man with one eye holding a gun? What image are you trying to portray?
All I'm saying is I'd more inclined to follow his articles if he wrote them in a manner more befitting an impartial journalist, because you're right - he did have a lot of important stuff to say. Maybe his audience would be bigger and more receptive if he didn't phrase all his columns as if they were meant for the Huddleboard.Quote:

So they've obviously not learnt a single thing from their past mistakes
and hopefully the same outcome will follow,follow...........Quote:

I suspect the new horse 'follow follow' will be ridden in to the stable shortly. Jockey D.King.Quote:

I find apologists for Sevco rather cringeworthy too.Quote:

It is his real name, just re-transliterated to Gaelic. I think the anglicised form is McGillivan.Quote:

They should be kicked out of Scottish Football. They were paying £5k a week to players playing in 3rd and 2nd Division.
They're paying a hell of a lot more than £5k a week to some players right now.Quote:

Working in the weege this week and overheard in a deli the owner talking to his customer asking bout his son who must be a junior said he'd gone from Rangers to Hearts (frying pan fire me thought) and that if he did well he'd be giving up school and signing (professionally) in March... I was tempted to butt in but I got a sandwich instead ;)
