    The publicity created by the SEVCO fans and KDS has prompted and a few others I have spoken to, to actually go ahead and purchase the book. Amazon say that there are supply issues and that the book will be delayed for a few weeks.

    Wouldn't have bothered about the book too much, but since SEVCO are going balistiic about it I thought it must be worth reading.

    Anyone else think the same?

    Nah, I don't want to read it because I think he's an arse.

    BTW is his face on the front cover? I have a rule about not buying books with a person's face on the front cover (with the only exception being biographies) - and Phil seems like the kinda guy who would put his face on a book cover.

    IMO not quite an arse, but given the attempts to silence him I feel that freedom of speech is very important and I won't support attempts to silence him or anyone else. He had a blog which I read which was childish and unprofessional, but he was revolutionary in uncovering and exposing rfc tax situ in the first place. He deserves credit for not following the mms and succulent lamb and champagne route.

    I also think we should boycott the Sun... until big Rupert orders his attack dogs to go at the Tory and Labour anti-Independence coalition, then we need to lay off him for a year or so.

    Why does that bother you, you're ****ing Irish?

    Anyone who reads, never mind buys, "Phil's book" is the mother and father of all cretins

    Why does someone of Republican leanings want to cheer on the break up of the Union? :bandit:

    Holding a point of view different from your own does not make me bitter or twisted by itself unless you want to expand on how and why my views are so - and I'm not that small.

    You don't live in Scotland but you want us to break away from the union just because you are not happy being part of it.

    Fundamental reading for anyone interested in the history of British football.

    Downfall - How Rangers FC Self Destructed contains a wealth of exclusive material as well as collecting the prophetic articles by investigative journalist Phil Mac Giolla Bhain. Phil gained the attention of notable writers such as James MacMillan, Professor Roy Greenslade and sports journalist Brian McNally - who compared his work to that of Woodward and Bernstein - by breaking the wall of silence of mainstream football journalism in Scotland, denouncing its corruption. With an introduction by Alex Thomson of channel Four News, Downfall. How Rangers FC Self Destructed has four sections which expose Rangers tax strategy and the luscious dinners for major reporters, as well as detailing the failure of corporate governance by the SFA and SPL and the culture of Ranger s supporters and how they failed to mobilise. The Fan's Revolution, when SPL fans held back from buying season tickets until they were sure their Chairmen would not let Rangers Newco back into the SPL, is documented also.




    GersNet Version

    Bitter, obsessed, bigoted, Rangers hating rantings, for anyone interested in the history of British football.

    Downfall - How Rangers FC Self Destructed contains a wealth of blatant lies as well as collecting the TimPatheitic articles by proven bigot journalist Phil Mac Giolla Bhain. The failed Social Worker gained the attention of Pro Timmy and possibly IRA supporting writers such as James MacMillan, Professor Roy Greenslade and sports journalist Brian McNally - who compared his work to that of Woodward and Bernstein, the Fenian bastards. By the unfair besmirching of mainstream football journalism in Scotland, Paranoiacly denouncing its supposed corruption. With an introduction by Alex Timmy Thomson of channel Four News, Downfall. How Rangers FC Self Destructed has four sections which totally tells blatant lies about Rangers perfectly legitimate at the time, honest, tax strategy and the heinous lies about luscious dinners for major reporters, as well as detailing the failure of corporate governance by the SFA and SPL and the culture of Rangers supporters and how they have been demonised. The Fan's Revolution, when SPL fans held back from buying season tickets until they were sure their Chairmen would not let Rangers Newco back into the SPL because they are all bigots, everybody but Rangers

    Oh dear, Amazon are selling the book and I think they've bitten off more than they can chew.

    Mr. D. J. MacPhee says:
    Agree with you 100% Alan,will not use amazon again as long as this bigot is linked with them.

    This author is a disgrace of a man, he has a sick warped mind and as far as I'm concerned a bigoted racist.
    I have no problem with someone wanting to write a book about what happened to rangers, in fact I would read it myself, as it would be a compelling insight into gross mismanagement corruption and lies
    This author is not person to tell this story. If your interested in understading y all you have to do is read a wee article this man wrote 'the incubator'

    There is no room for blind bigotry in country anymore !
