Walter Smith is bitter

[emerald green]

Smith has been quoted as saying Rangers / The Rangers will always feel bitter at being forced to start over in the bottom league four years ago. A decision which still provokes anger, according to Smith.

He goes on to say there was no necessity for the Ibrox club to be put down into the bottom league. He is quoted as saying the following:

"There's no doubt it was the wrong move in my eyes. Scottish football has been worse off. And a lot of teams happy to see Rangers go down there have suffered and found themselves relegated - or in the process of being relegated. So there will be that bitterness. How can they forget what happened to them? They can't forget that. Nobody can forget."

It doesn't take a genius to figure out one of the clubs he is referring to.

Forced to start over? Put down into the bottom league? What new club has ever NOT started in the lowest league?

They went bust because of their own failings not anyone else's.

[Sir David Gray]

Clearly doesn't understand the concept of liquidation.

Best ignored.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Funny he's sticking to the relegated lie when he said: “We wish the new Rangers Football Club every good fortune.” after they died.

The media in Scotland are a total disgrace. They allow people like Smith, Amoruso, Souness etc a chance to voice their pathetic and wholly incorrect views on what happened and NEVER have their opinion challenged or questioned.

How the BBC can cover this stuff is one thing but then just let them talk nonsense without questioning their lies is embarrassing. I've stopped paying the license and watching TV because of stuff like this.

It was the same with Neil Doncaster's remarks a week or so ago. Our game is total joke. Lets kick both the ugly sisters out and they can ply each other 38 games a year letting the rest of us get on with it.

Dundee United

[Pretty Boy]

Where is the precedent for a liquidated club, even one which buys the 'history' of a previous incarnation, being admitted straight into the top tier of their national competition?

Exactly. This isn't even a sporting issue, its a legal issue. That company couldn't pay their debts and folded. End of story.

Someone should be asking Walter and his pals how much they made out of illegal EBTs rather than letting me keep peddling this.

[JimBHibees]

Hugely irresponsible comments on the eve of an OF game. No doubt still spending his EBT.

[emerald green]

Walter sounds like some random drunk in the Louden Tavern.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Not going to say anything else is he. Must have known how the contracts worked and turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

[Bostonhibby]

Throw back to a long gone era of the now defunct Glasgow rangers. He did walking away and crawling out of the woodwork as they all are now they think they've got away with it.

[Scouse Hibee]

I actually found Walter Smith to be a very decent bloke when Rangers were regular guests the night before games in Edinburgh.

I heard him say this in the radio last week - on the way to the Livingston game so unless he's repeated it word for word it's not on the eve of the game.

Is it still an OF game anyway?

[Jonnyboy]

Can we add the words "and twisted" to the thread title?

[The Harp Awakes]

Raymond Domenech, the former France Manager, was correct when he referred to Walter Smith as a traitor when he walked away from Scotland for Rangers.

As well as being a traitor, Smith talks utter drivel and is a yesterday man, who should be ignored at every opportunity.

there are no decent blokes, connected to Rangers, and the same applies to The Rangers. Smith is a girnin' faced auld radge ,thinking that others will understand how unfair it was for his club to have to start at the bottom league. he had the temerity to say relegation (one league) would be bad enough but fair, and to the benefit of Scottish football.

How? I was the Security manager at the Caley for ten years and Rangers were regulars. Amazingly enough the whole backroom staff were perfectly normal decent people, some even liked a late night bevvy, imagine that eh.

Seen this on SSN, sure he said Rod Petrie under his breathe a few times, he looked a very bitter angry man when being interviewed, f*** him and his club.

What a twat...he's had plenty time to think about what he would say when asked, and he comes out with that nonsense that will only get the knuckle draggers fired up.

Good post. Agree with middle paragraph, stopped listening to BBC Scotland radio or watching many years ago. Even if a live game is on BBC Scotland I'll watch with sound off.
How much do all those muppets actually earn for talking Tom Kite?
In capable of discussing issues in proper detail.
Main BBC reporter Brian McGlauchan (?) can barely string 3 words together.
The hearts cheating coverage was always limited as well and normally made out Hearts to be the victims.
Close to drove me off the sport. At least scottish football anyway, but of course Hibs tippy tappy football keeps sucking us back lol ;)
