I think Medro posted about this on GC yesterday. Don't know if the thread is still there. Mick probably deleted it.
"But what will be interesting is watching and waiting to see what action Celtic take to clamp down on these wild men among the club's support." Does this thick **** think Celtic are responsible for an independent website? If he wants to go down that road perhaps their first step should be Follow Follow.
The Huns are ****ing morons though. Most of them on here genuinely believe FF to be a moderate place for like-minded Rangers fans to talk to each other. I wouldn't be caught dead with an account for a Celtic fan-site. 99% of the posters are paranoid lunatics. At least we only have a couple on here.
Was on twitter when news come out that guy had been nicked for the racist tweets........amazing to see how many were condemning "the racist taig/fenian bastard"
I'm guessing his next article will be about the Celtic fan working as a cook at Ibrox? I hope he pished in Lafferty's soup!
This guy is like the Rangers version of Super Hooper. Not quite there with the inane ramblings but in terms of lack of coherent logic, it's a close run thing.
I heard about the quote from the record "it raises questions about how someone who follows that kind of terrorist agenda can work fir Rangers".... At which point smoke began to bellow from the ironyometer.
Wednesday, 18 January 2012 BRAIDEN OF THE HERALD AND PHILMACGIOLLABHAIN ONE of the oldest tricks in the journalistic trade, when you canât get certain stories into the paper you work for, is to leak the tale to someone else. It is a tactic I have used often, most notably when I worked for the Birmingham Evening Mail in the 1970s. Now, the one thing a local evening newspaper cannot afford to do is upset the major football clubs in the area. Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion are the West Midlandsâ Big Three and at the time I am recalling, among the big names at these clubs were Andy Gray, Brian Little, Trevor Francis, Howard Kendall, Willie Johnston and Cyrille Regis. I shared a shandy with them all. Regularly. The trouble was that half of what they told me would have sent Ron Saunders, Jim Smith and Ron Atkinson into a fury had the stories appeared in the Evening Mail and those managers would have refused to take my calls, making my job impossible. The solution was simple. And lucrative. I tipped off a staff man on a then massive selling Sunday paper, the tales appeared under his byline, but the name on the cheque was mine. The players got their point across, as they intended, and I maintained my friendship with them, the managers knew nothing of my involvement and continued to take my calls and I was therefore able to keep doing my job well, particularly as the players were always keen to give me the sort of exclusive interviews on which a local evening newspaper thrives. Everybody was happy. But the world has moved on since those heady days of the 1970s. The Sunday paper I fed so many good stories now sells to two men and dug, while its even bigger selling rival back then, the News of the World, has closed, thanks to some typical slapdash and inaccurate reporting in the Guardian. So what is a hack to do in this, the second decade of the 21st century? Answer! Find someone sympathetic who operates online. I was reminded of the old days on the West Midlands beat, when I looked in on Philmacgiollabhainâs Twitter account. For, lo and behold, there he was having a full, frank and very public, exchange of views with the Heraldâs local government correspondent, Gerry Braiden. Gerry Braiden? You remember him? Of course you do. He is the local government correspondent whose Herald story about Rangers, the Glasgow Housing Association and the G51 regeneration project on land owned by both organisations in the vicinity of Ibrox Stadium, I commented on last week.. Just a couple of days after this poor imitation Braiden beat appeared in the fast fading Herald, causing much anger within Ibrox, into the fray on the same subject stepped Philmacgiollabhain, blogging from his foreign lair in far flung Donegal. Much of what Philmacgiollabhain wrote was the same as had appeared in Braidenâs story. Except for one accusation which Braiden did not make. As I believe there could be legal action in the wind, I wonât repeat it. Philmacgiollabhain claimed this had been leaked to him by a contact in Glasgow City Council. Given the fact that Glasgow City Council is full of folk â elected and employees â who share many of Philmacgiollabhainâs views, that is not too far fetched. In fact, itâs almost believable However, when examining this co-incidence, Gerry Braidenâs boss, Herald editor, Jonathan Russell, may like to ask why his highly paid and supposedly well connected Local Government Correspondent, who works on the doorstep of George Square, has, according to Philmacgiollabhain, been scooped by someone sitting in a foreign country? ANDâ¦. WHY will nobody be surprised that north east of England based sports hack, Brian McNally, canât stand Ray Wilkins and Mark Hateley as television pundits? McNally, who loves bragging about his Irish background, his love for Celtic, apparent hatred of Scotland and extreme dislike for Rangers and all things red, white and blue, works for Mirror Group Newspapers, the same company which owns the Daily Record and Sunday Mail. Leading some to wonder if his distaste for Wilkins and Hateley is because they are not very good on telly - something which, especially in the case of Wilkins, is just not so - or the fact they are both Englishmen who played with such distinction for England? Or is it something to do with the fact both Ray Wilkins and Mark Hateley played for Rangers? I think we should be told. ------------------------------------------------- Leggo in full flow today, and to add to the large amount of reasons to dislike the man he makes a staunch defence of the News of the World, blaming their demise on "typical slapdash and inaccurate reporting in the Guardian". Not content with bragging about his sources when he was a boozed up hack, he turns all hypocritical and crticises other journalists for doing the same. Then back to his stock in trade snide innuendo (or in his case, outright finger pointing) about the number of Rangers haters within the City Chambers in Glasgow and a casual reference to a "Foreign Country" (Ireland) as if it's on the far side of the world and polulated by fuzzy wuzzies. The man really is a train wreck.
"the News of the World, has closed, thanks to some typical slapdash and inaccurate reporting in the Guardian." Aye, that's the reason they went tits up Excuse the pun.
Inaccurate reporting Also facebook & twitter went mad the other day with the hatred towards Wilkins as a pundit!!
"far flung Donegal" Glasgow to Donegal = 169 miles Glasgow to the Mall where his Britannic Majesty paraded his bride to the loyal crowd = 344 miles I'm being an arse picking him up on a turn of phrase but it's upon that type of rhetoric that his "logic" lies.
"Given the fact that Glasgow City Council is full of folk – elected and employees – who share many of Philmacgiollabhain’s views, that is not too far fetched. In fact, it’s almost believable" This bloke's an absolute fruit loop
