Big Phil finally being shown up for what he is. An arrogant bigot.

Article in The Guardian which reports that the editor of the Scottish Sun may have made a u-turn on the serialisation of MacGiollaBhain's book, due to fears of a boycott of the paper from Rangers fans.

The article also refers to a claim that a blog about Rangers fans that MacGiollaBhain maintains was satirical in nature, was cited as the opportunity for The Scottish Sun to save face while pulling the serialisation articles. Interesting.

Jelle1880 · 05-09-2012 12:58AM

And here The Sun was claiming that they wouldn't be bullied :pac:

And the blog was in no way satirical, I believe the main blog that was pointed out to The Sun was this one:

http://www.philmacgiollabhain.ie/the-incubator/

Sick ramblings of a twisted mind.

Seems like Philly's lies are finally catching up to him.
I've even read posts on CelticMinded of Celtic fans who despite the idiot and see him for what he is.

If ye are the same club how come ye are unseeded in the draw for the League Cup??

After all according to the regulations....

"This Round will be “seeded” with the clubs occupying the eight highest positions at the end of the preceding season being “seeded”. These clubs will play a single tie on the ground of the first named club."

and according to uefa your last game was against St Johnstone in May??

Satire my ass mate if you had ever spoken to the man you would know he is nothing but a twisted bigot.
These type of ramblings are nothing new and the lies he has told over the years to get noticed just make him even sadder

relax I have never met him, and i have no desire to, he hardly represents the average celtic fan, at least judging by that post

Wasn't having a go mate.

The thing is I have met him I have spoken to him of local radio as well. He lives about 30 minutes from me.
I know he doesn't represent your average Celtic fan but he does appeal to the lowest form of support exactly the same way certain people appeal to the lowest form of support among Rangers fans

Broxi_Bear_Eire · 05-09-2012 07:41PM

Dear me some sad folk out there

the realpigiron · 05-09-2012 07:42PM

Just read that "incubator" blog by MacGiollaBhain, I have to say it's a very silly article if it's penned by someone who wants to be taken seriously as a journalist. However it's such a silly article that it can hardly be taken seriously either. A lot of journos make the mistake of being deliberately provocative in order to achieve notoriety and get attention, but can end up undermining their own professional reputation.

Still I wonder is the book any good and will some Rangers fans take a look at it - without admitting that they will.

Do you honestly think Rangers fans would put money in that mans pocket?

They might have a look at the book in a store or somewhere without buying it maybe. The "incubator" blog is silly, but maybe the book has some value? The serialisation in The Scottish Sun was pulled because of the "incubator" blog not the book.

That part of his blog was only a small part of why his book was pulled, really the man is the lowest of the low and he is being found out

Its a list of the Annan players and the people who sponsor each player

Pompey Magnus · 05-09-2012 07:59PM

I will probably buy the book, last year I bought and read his first book which was on the subject of young male suicides in Ireland and found some of the ideas interesting and his concern for the problem genuine but didn't find it particularly well written, seemed like a bit of a rush job in parts and if I remember correctly some glaring spelling errors made me think it couldn't even have been well proof read.

Still I will more than likely give this one a read but I don't expect to learn much that I don't already know.

You wouldn't buy him a drink in Coll's then - or argue a point with him?:)

I find it interesting that he still calls Scotland his 'native' land! Not that I know much about him(other than daft ones sending me links to his work on facebook)but is he not a wee bit more like an educated Jim Traynor?

Jelle1880 · 06-09-2012 12:19PM

I'm not a fan of Traynor, but he's not even close to that level.

The new owner of Rangers Football Club is close to appointing advisers to kick off a swift return to the London stock market.

I understand that the consortium led by Charles Green, which took control of the Scottish outfit in a cut-price £5.5m deal to acquire its assets in June, is poised to hire Cenkos Securities, the broking firm, to handle the flotation.

Cenkos is one of a number of brokers which have held talks with Mr Green’s consortium in recent weeks, and it remains possible that another firm will be appointed if an agreement cannot be reached, according to insiders.

The listing is likely to see the newly-reconstituted Rangers, which began the season in the bottom tier of Scottish professional football, listed on the junior AIM market before the end of the year.

People close to the situation said that it could seek to raise as much as £20m, part of which is likely to be used to fund the acquisitions of new players.

Details of how supporters and investors will be able to acquire shares in the company, called The Rangers Football Club, will not be available for several weeks, insiders say.

Rangers' takeover and subsequent demotion to the Scottish Third Division capped an astonishing fall from grace for one of the biggest names in British sport.

The club's liquidation following the fiasco of the ownership of Craig Whyte culminated in a series of bitter contract disputes with star players, and the tax man.

Since the deal Mr Green, a former chief executive of Sheffield United, has struck a merchandising joint venture with Mike Ashley, the tycoon who owns Newcastle United and who may acquire a stake in Rangers as part of a stock market listing.

Mr Green believes that despite its recent travails, Rangers has considerable international potential as a sporting and leisure brand.

If Rangers successfully floats with a valuation of around £30m, that could augur well for the prospective valuation of the club’s 'Old Firm' rivals, Celtic, which is also listed on AIM.

There have been few new stock market flotations of major British football clubs in recent years, with Manchester United’s recent listing in New York being a rare example.

The club declined to comment.
