    I happened to see this the other day in the Daily Record of all places, claiming that this was a new world record. It's a bit like being the world's tallest midget in terms of bragging rights.

    You know something maybe what has happened is good for Scottish Football.

    Rangers are invigorating the 3rd Division which is geat for both them and all the other clubs in the league.

    I also think the SPL has been given the boot up the backside it so severely needed. Yes Celtic will win it but I see a new focussed determination from the other teams.

    Fair comment ER. Just so long as some decent young Scottish talent is brought through by the clubs in the top tier as well as by us. There was always the pressure of winning every game in the old days wasn't there? This meant The Old Firm never really gave youth that much of a crack of the whip. Hopefully some good will come out of all of this. I actually beleive it will.

    Must be an old fogey thing, I think Paul Weller is massively overrated and a bit of a tool into the bargain.

    He is very much in the vein of Liam Gallacher and that other massive arsehole, Ian Brown. Apparently they are friends Weller and Gallacher, that speaks volumes.

    Liam is a dick though I have to say that Noel's last album was excellent in parts. I do like The Stone Roses and some of Brown's solo stuff, but he's very much a studio musician. He is ****ing dreadful live.

    Ferguson didn't get on with Davie White the Rangers manager and it was no secret that White wanted to get rid of him.

    He was blamed for a goal that they conceded in the 1969 Scottish Cup Final, in a match in which he was designated to mark Celtic captain, Billy McNeill, and was subsequently forced to play for the club's junior side instead of for the first team.
    According to his brother, Ferguson was so upset by the experience that he threw his losers' medal away.
    There have been claims that he suffered discrimination at Rangers after his marriage to a Catholic, Cathy Holding, but Ferguson himself makes it clear in his autobiography that Rangers knew of his wife's religion when he joined the club and that he left the club very reluctantly, due to the fall-out from his alleged cup final mistake.
