    Hmm never even heard about that one or him, anyhoo It really doesn't matter I trust Ally and believe he will bring many new faces in and if he doesn't then we will still win the league win win for us.

    Have I been transported in time back to the days of 606?

    I think we're finding it hard to attract players to our league.

    4 times a season against the same teams.
    Government sticking their neb in.
    Secondary (at best) national coverage to England.

    At in the other factors in our country such as poor infrastructure, ****e weather and not an awful lot to do with your spare time its little wonder no cunt wants to play in Scotland.

    That's mostly true Frank but our press don't help the situation by saying "SNUB" every time a player wants to go elsewhere. People like Preston take it as fact and then use it as ammo in some feeble 606 wummery?

    How often do the chip wrappers say that a player has "Snubbed" an English club? It happens all the time but it's not a snub at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    If I was a talented footballer in my early 20's I wouldnt touch the SPL with a very large pole. In fact I wouldnt be anywhere near British football, I'd be in Germany, Spain, Portugal or Holland to develop my game.

    If the SPL were to change mentality, expand the league, work towards developing talent, and take steps to entertain the supporters instead of treating them like cattle then I'd consider it as a place to play football (but then only if Rangers were interested <ok> )

    The media need sensationalist headlines which is why they use words like "SNUB", there always has to be a snub somewhere, they cant handle a simple scenario of a club calling a player saying, "Fancy playing for us?" and the player saying, "Aye alright then." they need to put something like "Snubbed a host of English Championship / Big European clubs." The press are more fucked up in the head than people posting on this forum, and they certainly know much less about football. They need exterminated, starting with that smelly tit Spiers.

    I agree with you on journalists....but to pick spiers as the worst....when you have leckie, traynor, granda Hugh, broadfoot, walker etc....don't forget chic.....well it seems like its only spiers you have an issue with....and that could only be because he is a ger who criticized gers fans for their choice of karaoke

    I despise leckie....but its traynor and chic who embarras themselves the most as journalists

    Of the players that have reportedly snubbed Celtic and Rangers for that matter how many do you think were accually offered a contract?

    Rangers and Celtic get massive press coverage and also have well known limitations when compaired to the big leagues. We are the ideal clubs to be used to raise a players profile even the smallest of contact with a player will be leaked and exaggerated to get a players name splashed all over the press.

    They are all lazy, talentless fuds, I cringe anytime I see any of these clowns on telly especially Andy Walker. The guy can barely complete a sentence.

    However, Spiers is a nasty little BO ridden bastard who has no knowledge of the game but is somehow taken seriously because he utters big words in a whiny voice. He's a patronising little cunt who does nothing but **** stir to get attention. This was proven in his comments about Craig Thomson. He's the main cheerleader in this "sectarian industry" a lot of useless bastards seemed to have created for themselves, and he seriously needs a good slap.

    I'm sure most of these journalists are actually quite intelligent people but they're just catering for the type of people who read their columns. It's the same with the NoTW journalists. I bet most of them would rather be writing prize winning novels but writing about which celebrity is shagging who pays the mortgage.

    The press are in no way at fault for players not coming to Scotland. It all comes down to money. Twenty years ago players weren't exactly rushing to the Russian and Ukranian leagues. Then a few oligarchs turn up waving the cheque book and players are falling over themselves to join.

    Money. It's the only thing that matters in football now. Sadly.

    Cool you have your reasons

    Leckie is a **** stirer too

    A coughing campaign....good grief Charlie Brown

    Mostly though, I am more upset at Celtic fans who call these shows and buy these papers

    Celtic have 3 additional players in their first team squad since last season.
    Ally has managed one so far despite having countless riches to spend, no money
    owed to the bank. Its only a matter of days until he brings in 5 more.
    He promised a number of players in by 13/072007.

    Spiersy tells it like it is, which is remarkable considering he's a Rangers fan. One who actually has the stones to constructively criticize the club and the fans for their shameful songbook that they can't seem to put down.

    You're right about Walker though; an ex-footballer masquerading as some kind of pundit/journalist. I've read better football analysis than his on the old 606 boards FFS and heard better co-commentary down the boozer.

    Spiers clearly doesnt tell it like it is. He fabricates lies and rattles cages to get attention.

    Ask him to explain the offside rule and he's running for cover.

    I never took much notice of spiers

    He seemed like a posh boy talking football for the big wordy papers

    However he has, in a climate of submission to Moonbeams and Walter, criticized Rangers and their support.

    We must have all by now heard the traynor vs chic barney on radio Scotland

    Accusing each other of being puppets for rangers

    For spiers to break from this clique is either brave or as i believe, smart

    You see, the more easily accessible the web is, the bigger the decline in papers purchased

    Why read the opinion of a hack when you can read the opinion o$ the public online, good opinions bad opinions but you can make your mind up if you wanr to keep reading

    Spiers I believe can see the time where only the most honest or daring or shocking will be able to stay emoloyed in a shrinking media

    What is more honest, daring or shocking than turning on the status quo
