Because he's more interested in it than everyone else! His RTC blog is the source of most of the unproven information flying about :rolleyes: The man is obsessed.

Its not definite, was just a rumour I read on a Celtic forum and a Rangers forum.

Guess who runs the RangersTaxCase website.

I'll be honest with you Builder I've heard of him but I've never looked up his website and facebook page. I didn't realise the man was so worried about ye're financial affairs:D! All jokes aside there does seem to be some uncertainty with Rangers financial position at the moment but it isn't affecting the team in the SPL!

Seems Whyte doesnt like any criticism of his actions at board level. Things cant be good if Greig has taken a walk

Greig was a non executive director he had no say in anything anyway. He also had a go at Whyte as he was completing the takeover no big surprise he has gone

He's mental, he's been on various radio shows that were doing talks on Catholics in Scotland etc and all he kept talking about was Rangers and Ibrox, the man is despicable and shouldn't be given the airtime to air his biased agenda.

Of course there is, not even Rangers fans can deny that, but his speculating is only to play into the hands of Celtic fans.

You're last line is the most important part for me at the minute

I thought you'd like that last line:D! So that's Phil MacGiollaBhain in a nut shell! Will be interesting to see if that programme actually goes ahead and if he does give an interview.

The programme looks like it will be shyte and now that idiot will be on it, it will be even worse.

Well its my opinion on him anyway

It will, their effort at a sectarianism programme was a disaster so I expect this to be the same sort of effort. Phil knew about the programme for a while as he tweeted a few times about something interesting towards the end of October, this could be where the rumour of him having a part in it comes from.

Still 1-0 v Liverpool.

RoryMac · 18-10-2011 10:11PM

While there is no denying Phil Mac has an agenda against Rangers there is also no denying he was one of very few journalists willing to look into exactly what was going on inside Ibrox. Most Scottish journo's seemed to ignore what is a huge story in British football, I'd love to know the reason for that?

I do agree some of his stuff seems exaggerated and probably wrong but he does also seem to have sources close to the situation and has gotten a few scoops along the way.

I suppose it will be a while yet before we know the truth but I doubt the BBC program is going to clear anything up.

That is baloney spun by Phil and his cohorts of course the media has looked at all sorts of things to do with Rangers you cannot look at a newspaper these days without seeing stories about the club.

As for this journalist crap he is no more a journalist than I am the Pope lets face it this is a man who couldn't hold down a job at the NotW and your writing skills don't didn't have to be great on that paper.

Mate you say he has an agenda as though its a slight disagreement sorry this man hates everything about our club he see's us the supporters as bigots and generally talks crap about us at every opportunity.

This man who while condemning TFS rightly so couldn't see anything wrong with the song about Novo dying with a bullet in his head from the IRA, Haedly a man who is fair minded.

And yes some of the stories ate true but most while having some basis don't actually tell the whole story.

Take the one everyone is running with just now John Greig was my hero growing up so I won't say anything that's not true. He says he is standing down basically because he had no input at the club anymore news flash he never did he was a non executive director who had no say in the running of the club even when Murray was in charge, come to think of it non of the directors did it made no difference if they disagreed with anything that Murray was doing as Murray held ALL the power he is IMO solely resposable for our plight

Fair enough I did understate the level of his agenda against Rangers, there is no denying the guys has a deep-rooted hatred for Rangers and their supporters. I agree there is no way he could be considered impartial or fair-minded in discussions about your club and the example you give re the Novo song shows him as the bigot he is.

But while Rangers issues are in the news now they were not when he started his campaign/investigations into the issues, he obviously has a source close to the situation and has been ahead of the game in breaking plenty developments in the story.

Well if what he says is true I would say the source could very well be Bain.
To be honest I expect administration in fact if thats the worse thing that happens I will be pleased,I will happily take a few years in the relative wilderness to get out of this mess but and this isn't aimed at you or I would say most of the tic fans on here but We Won't Disappear much as many would like us to

I appreciate that and hope I don't come across as someone looking for the demise of Rangers, in fact if you were to go into administration this season and be docked 10 points you'd probably still win the league!

Would be a disaster for the SPL though. Hopefully Craig Whyte can get us out of it.

Not being pessimistic mate I believe Administration is a real possibility in fact I reckon its almost certain but as I say I will take that over us disappearing

So will I but lets look at the reality. All our best players will HAVE to leave and we will be fighting mid table of the SPL for a number of years before we can challenge for the title again. That will be a terrible advert for the SPL and will be very hard for Sky to sell.

It would hurt Celtic as in the lack of competition and most likely put people off the SPL even more. For the SPL, it would be best if Rangers actually win the case.

Agreed mate but certain people who are shortsighted and I don't just mean a lot of tic fans can't see that

An interesting read. The man seems to be a hate figure amongst the Rangers support but reading that article it seems what he has wrote about Rangers financial problems will be justified on tomorrow night's programme on BBC 1,his words not mine!

There's definitely problems at Ibrox financially but is it really as bad as what's to be exposed on BBC tomorrow night?

Not 100% on this but I have heard from various people this has been pulled as seemingly London were not happy.

What he wrote about Rangers financial problems may be correct no one knows at the moment and if it is he has done his job well.
But the man is a bigot and this is why lots of Rangers fans are wondering if its right to have a man who has so much of a one sided view of the club interviewed he is not known for his balanced views be a bit like having Paisley giving a balanced talk about Celtic

He is not a hate figure he is laughed at because of many of the idiotic garbage he comes away with

As I said last night Broxi mate I've heard of him before but really didn't take too much notice of him because he seemed more to do with the political side of things between the 2 clubs.

I do know though that he does seem to be a cult figure amongst some Celtic fans gathering by the many times I have seen threads started about him on celtic forums! However saying that I've seen Celtic fans to dismiss him too on these threads.

If the programme is been pulled there's obviously something in it that's open to a legal question hence why BBC won't take a risk airing it.

Oh and before you start you support neither Celtic or Rangers so I have no interest in any of your mind games

I wouldn't agree, he hates Rangers, that much is obvious, but I don't think it is accurate to call him a bigot which implies he is universally intolerant of all Protestants.

From reading some of his non-football related articles I get the impression that when he does directly attack religious organisations he gives the Catholic Church just as hard a time.

Plus he did do this so he can't be all bad :pac:

So all Rangers fans are Protestants wait a minute then so if a Rangers supporter shows his hate for Celtic he is not a bigot thats good to know and all this time when I have been called a bigot they were wrong
Sorry having spoke to him on a local radio show the man showed his true colours
