I'm only guessing you're referring to a lurking troll.

The answer is no.

Guess I'll have to earn my stripes into the circle of trust for a while yet

Yes, I'm getting that impression already!

Always up for a good yarn/debate... especially when it comes to the Rangers!

There's an interesting article in the Irish Times this weekend on Rangers and how their absence from the SPL will affect Celtic.

Just the one factual error where the writer claims Mo Johnston was the first player to feature for both Old Firm clubs. He wasn't.

The use of the 'H' word is rather disappointing though, particularly in the IT. Anyway...

*sigh*

Why do journalists feel the need to throw in wrong information, to give people the idea that they know about their topic ?

Rangers never played the day after Kennedy was shot, and I highly doubt there would be booing, just because he was a Catholic.

I agree with you.

Of course I don't believe a Rangers-hater is going to be convinced regardless of what I try and explain.

While I'm honest enough to accept what goes with a certain element of our support, I'm not going to let lies and bull**** go unchallenged.

Ideally, I'd prefer not to of course and simply talk football.

Hopefully.

thats a reference to my post i presume. So what exactly were the lies and bull**** i posted?

ffs dont be so pedantic, he was quoting someone else. And why would there have been a minutes silence anyway?

Jelle1880 · 16-07-2012 2:26am

It's just a pet-hate of mine, these things are very easy to check and it shows lazyness from the journalist that he includes it

However, his inststance on using "The Rangers" instead of "Rangers" now seems strangely prophetic.....

Also prophetic that he was unable to pay his debts and disappeared as a result.

I'm not questioning the why. I know why. It was said that Rangers wouldn't be allowed continue to play in Scotland. I simply said that Cardiff and Swansea both continue to play in Wales. If its not an issue for them, why would it be an issue for Rangers if they ever looked to swap leagues? Obviously it isn't a big an issue as is being claimed.

Cardiff and Swansea did play in the Welsh FA Cup, but once the league in Wales was set up they were invited to join that league system, they said no and remained in the English League system, since this they were unable to play there 1st time in the Welsh FA Cup

Times like what? When David Murray initially let everyone know he was selling up and the offer he ended up taking was Craig Whyte's?? Where were Bomber Brown, TBK, RST and other fans groups at this time????

Murray sold them for a pound ffs, one single pound

No, he claimed he was leaving soon but that he would honour the debt. He did indeed leave, but shirked the money owed. I believe his account is still active though, he's just not using it.

PauloMN · 16-07-2012 2:20pm

He's around, he's opened a few different accounts since he got perma-banned (he was only perma-banned from AH I believe, but AH is probably his life!). There's no doubt he drops by here for a quick digest on The Sevco FC. Hi Keith! Pay your debts.

And before anyone gives it the "moderator privilege abuse" bit, a quick search on the user name reveals plenty of information in AH threads that anyone can see!

Ah ok, I was unaware of the perma-ban. It was long overdue anyway.
I've recieved 2 infractions on this site,
1. For claiming sewer rats would disown El Hadji Diouf
and
2. For calling Keith an imbecile

2 statements I continue to stand by.
