    "...Her husband wears clothing which is worn by football hooligans..."

    Has to be some form of parody hun investigator - I can't believe it's real. He even highlights a meme from the woman about self-checkout machines in Tesco as her not being fit for her job :huh:

    I think it's just wanting the SFA to be held accountable. Like the JimFarry cover up.

    The people concerned in this campaign seem to want to see heads roll and I can't disagree with them. If it's true, and it appears that it is, then this is a massive scandal, the SFA gave Rangers a spot in the CL because Whyte had told them Rangers were in dire financial straits. For all the good it did.

    They threw a lifeline to a hungry shark to the detriment of the rest of the occupants of the SPL liferaft.

    Personally I think it's outrageous, but who knows, maybe they would have done the same for Celtic? It didn't though so that particular point is moot. Celtic did not live beyond their means, Rangers did and the SFA still tried to dig them out of the mire by offering secret deals and favours.

    Celtic are involved in this to a point so that says to me they expect a payout from it

    "They threw a lifeline to a hungry shark to the detriment of the rest of the occupants of the SPL liferaft" <applause><laugh>

    When the Rangers fans said "Too big to die", they were ****ing spot on <doh>

    Stewart Regan: "Rangers are part of the fabric of Scottish football and integral to its future prosperity" so, there it is, **** the rest of you!

    Scottish football has itself convinced it can't survive without the blue pound, regardless of how many rules are broken.:emoticon-0119-puke:

    Saw this somewhere else:

    Has there ever been a Celtic manager that the Scottish media have had anything nice to say about? Lennon was a ‘divisive’ ned who brought his tribulations on himself, Mowbray was hopeless, Strachan was ‘niggly’ and ‘arrogant’, Martin O’Neill was constantly attacked and subject to speculation that he would be leaving within 5 minutes of arriving, Barnes also hopeless (fair comment this time – although his problems only really came to the fore with Larsson’s injury but was “under-fire” well before then), Dr Jo Venglos (with a European Championship title and many others to his name) dismissed as a geriatric by an insular, xenophobic, ignorant Scottish press, Wim Jansen was famously the worst thing to hit Hiroshima since the A-bomb

    Tommy Burns was afforded the odd patronising pat on the head for being an Celtic-minded caricature who was unable to successfully challenge Rangers. There was a directly proportional relationship in the vitriol aimed at these men with their success in post and the subsequent consequences for Rangers.

    Ronny Deila – whatever you think of him – is just the latest in a long line. Those holding their breath for a Celtic manager receiving much in the way of plaudits from the Scottish media can expect to expire first.

    Compare that to how the Warbler is being treated, having achieved the sum total of **** aw in the game <doh>

    You can shove my SF ticket up yer hole! i ****ing refuse to take part in this charade any longer. What Celtic fan is going to pay to watch a rigged competition? If the board don't fight this all the way, i, and many thousands of Scottish football fans, will be lost to the game.

    Dr Jo Venglos (with a European Championship title and many others to his name)

    He was assistant when they won it in 1976, and his other honours are 2 Czechoslovak titles from the 70s.

    I think the inference is quite clear, Dr Jo had actually won something in his career as a coach and he was given respect, simply derision.

    I understand what he was saying, but he was dressing it up to support his position.

    TBH i find the persistent Celtic and Rangers gripes that "there's a bias against us" boring, tedious, and generally unfounded. I'm meant to think there's a decades long media bias that deliberately singles out Celtic managers for undue grief, regardless of who they are, what they've won, or what they end p winning?

    Don't buy it, I'm afraid, and even less so when it's written like the above. "Many others" = 2?

    I do believe it because I've actually witnessed it. The media attitude to Celtic managers - in general - is always negative, and has been as far as I recall.

    Remember all the times McCoist and Walter Smith were mocked during their respective reigns? No, me neither.
