If any other club manager in the world posed beside that graph football people would be laughing at it. It's all part of an ongoing trend, the zombie hordes will swallow swallow anything. And actually youa and your ilk do mean something to celtic fans. You're part of something rotten in Scottish scoiety.

I am part of something rotten inScottish society? Please tell me how you know me so well that you can judge me

You don't agree with what he said so you label him a bigot? That's a bad sign. When someone immediately resorts to name calling like that it's often because they feel unable to rebut the argument.

I label him a bigot because that is what he is he has been found out in accusing Rangets fans of abusing him in the past the CCTV showed they didn't. He is an MP who thinks one company should be dealt differently with under UK law. Your assertion is correct but not about me. Many times on this thread or should I say past threads we have been accused of things purely because we are Rangets fans now that is bigotry

Galloway is not asking Parliament to treat Rangers differently, he is using Rangers as a classic example of the huge loophole in current law

That this House notes that the owners of the club now playing in the Scottish Third Division called Rangers claim that it is the same club with the same history as the liquidated club also known as Rangers; - this is fact

further notes that 14 million in VAT and PAYE was withheld in the run-up to administration by the previous Rangers; - this is fact

further notes that the club is now cash-rich through a share issue which raised in excess of 20 million; - this is fact

condemns the use of insolvency laws to avoid paying tax owed; - everyone should join in the condemnation

and calls on the Government to take steps to reclaim the outstanding monies from Rangers - this is asking the Government (through HMRC) to look at the sale of assets and history which went for peanuts to CG

and to bring forward legislative proposals to prevent clubs and companies sidestepping their liabilities through liquidation and then carrying on trading with effectively the same name and in exactly the same business. - everyone should support this

Bigotry does not automatically mean religion, people forget that.

Hope Macleod is okay, sitter from Templeton there.

Another erratic display from the officials today.

Another lazy performance, another 2 points dropped.

idiots.

Again far to much complacency from the Rangers players today. Yes the equaliser was a cracking long distance shot that came of underneath the bar but Rangers should have put the game to bed long before that.

I think your use of the word bigot is a bit fast and loose. Just because someone is having a pop at Rangers doesn't translate to them being automatically a bigot.

I'm not an expert on company law, although i have heard of how businesses go to the wall and then start up again under a different name. What happens in these instances is that they welch on their debts and creditors and providers get burned. Not a nice thing to happen, but it's part of what can happen in business I suppose. As for Galloway he might be inaccurate on this matter, but that doesn't make him a bigot either.

LOL I am not using him having a pop at Rangers this time I am using the fact he could have tried to close this loophole over many years as an MP to do this. I am using the term bigot because of his hatred for my club that he stoops to levels as this and also accusing Rangers fans of sectarianism which were proven to be false. So this upstanding MP could have got people done because he lied

So what bit do you disagree with?

I disagree with him waiting until now to be so angry about this loophole when as a elected official he surely should have wanted this done years ago.
The fact the man is proven to be anti Rangers and their fans makes me wonder why now

Methinks you have a bit of an obsession with Galloway. I didn't know he was a die hard Celtic fan, he's gone right up in my estimation.

Your use of the word bigot, bandying it about as you do, doesn't reflect well on yourself I reckon.

So what else do you call a man whose hatred knows no bounds
Really I have been called a bigot purely because of the team I support so it really matters not a jot what other people think of me they will think what they want whatever I say.
I have no obsession with the man I have only reacted to a post in which he seen fit to attack my club. I am only happy he is no longer an MP in Glasgow where I have many family members

Galloway was fairly outspoken on Rangers fans being sectarian bigots a couple of years ago, the guy is an idiot.

He also called a Rangers fan a window licker on twitter in August, just what you want, a politician mocking disabilities.

Galloway writing about Lennon's attack, a lot of hatred of Rangers and of Protestants which it had nothing to do with...

they have never been guilty of the sustained, anthemic, sectarian chanting and singing that the Rangers support has disgraced itself 

Tynecastle, Hearts ground, should now be closed until there are guarantees that such an incident can never re-occur. As should Ibrox, Rangers ground, at the first chirrup of what used to be called a party song but is better described as sectarian bile. 

But until there’s drastic action against these sick-making Protestant hate-merchants

Some of that article might be a bit alarmist and over the top. Mind you the carry on that Neil Lennon had to put up with when he first took over as Celtic manager was wholly unacceptable. It was actually quite dangerous and it appeared that there were certain people who were trying to influence Celtic FC on who they decide to employ. If Lennon was forced to resign that time, in my view Celtic would have had no option but to resign from Scottish football themselves and seek to ply their trade elsewhere. Thankfully it didn't come to that.

Anyway I still don't see anywhere where Galloway described every Rangers fan as a bigot.

If you really don't see what he has implied with his hate filled bile there really is no point.
I have been called a bigot many times I didn't ask there names the simple fact of it even being implied is enough as was done in an earlier post on here towards The Builder

I still don't see where George Galloway described every Rangers fan as a bigot. In fact in that tweet that he had to apologise for for using the term "window licker" Galloway pleaded with "decent" Rangers fans to have a word with the tweeter that he was foolishly arguing with



So obviously by that Galloway thinks that some Rangers fans are "decent".

Or just maybe he knows he made an arse of himself and knew it would not do his image as a caring politician any good

I can't believe this shít all started over people having a laugh about the graph.

The graph was hilarious by the way, and should definitely be used as ammo for taking the piss out of you lot. I'd expect nothing less if the reverse had happened. It's only a laugh, I can't believe it's been taken so seriously. It's no different from the Seville calculator jibes.

The sooner you lot get back to the SPL the better tbh. It's like walking on eggshells around here these days.

This has nothing to do with a graph Paul I suggest you read the post made by ADIG about Galloway
