"He described Rangers fans as "a tribe", adding: "What the rest of the world will never understand unless they experience it first hand is that Rangers Football Club is a religion, in itself, built on centuries of religious bigotry."
The former director also accused Police Scotland of being "an establishment institution which itself is deeply rooted and immersed in Rangers Football Club's history for well over 140 years".
Mr Ahmad said: "I firmly believe Police Scotland have their own agenda and are deeply emotionally connected to Rangers Football Club. In my view Police Scotland have a clear conflict of interest.""
Mr Ahmad spoke out after*four other men*were charged over the deal.Quote:

Hard to argue with that :greengrin
....and as a little bit background noise to the above.

UEFA being 'miles ahead' of the SFA on tackling racism is pretty damning. UEFA is the kind of organisation that issues 5k fines for racist chanting and 30k fines for wearing pants with an unauthorised logo.Quote:

It also means the SFA sanction the breaking of the Scottish Parliaments' (stupid) laws against sectarian language/chants/hats/macaroon bars/spearmint chewing gum.Quote:

Maybe the media should have been included in Ahmad's list of those who are wrapped up in The RangersQuote:

Roughly translated means we still won't have any money.
Something I've just seen for the first time "Sheik Imran Ahmad also known as Imran Ahmad" Anyone know more about the sheik bit?Quote:

However, long sentences? It's doubtful.
Long Kesh, or Crumlin Road would have been a good option :wink: unfortunately they are no longer options.Quote:

I think it was Kevin Keegan at Newcastle that kept on signing very good players (Asprilla) possibly to the detriment of an already good and settled team.
Warburton would be mad to rock the boat too much mid-season imo.
Ok, maybe if they're miles ahead they could start to think towards next season but if we (or anyone else) are anywhere near them then even one hiccup could set in a fair bit of self-doubt and backfire on them.
Let's hope Warburton matches his success last season - Brentford weren't promoted.Quote:

There's a world of difference between not wanting to spend and not having a pot to piss in.Quote:
