Should Barry Robson and Dylan McGeough not be on that list?

Btw anyone who went from Sellick to Rangers is a soup taking bastard.

Anyone who went the other way saw the light.

Kenny Miller is a ****ing freak.
 
As youth players, yes and there were maybe others at youth level as well - eg Craig Beattie?

... and taking it to extremes - apparently Didier Ferdinand Agathe played as a sort of 'Rangers' striker in the rubbish Robert Duvall comedy movie "A Shot At Glory" (think you might spot him at 58 secs into this trailer) ... and by the way Fat Sal was the heartthrob hero in the film. <doh>

I'm in the crowd at Hampden. Got dragged along by the wife and her sister. 3 hours filming felt like 15.

Agathe was indeed in it as was Owen Coyle, Jimmy Sanderson and others. Mostly Raith players if I recall and a few generic actors who looked as if they were footballers.
 
Why not? Thanks for it anyway. Mine was a serious question in any case and I'm disappointed in Albatross making such a false allegation. That's nasty ... I had thought he was a serious, if somewhat over-enthusiastic, hun destroyer.

clearly yer every bit as dumb/crazy as albie then.
 
A bit of point scoring against myself here...

30 signs you are London Irish...

1. You travel on an Irish passport despite the fact it means getting hold of your parents birth certificates and require the patience of a saint whilst waiting for it to be processed in Dublin.

2. Despite not having an Irish accent you use phrases such as ‘craic’, ‘grand’, ‘giving out’ and ‘feckin’ eejit’ when talking with non-Irish people.

3. You can put on an Irish accent which sounds more convincing than your parents – who have Irish accents.

4. You stand for Amhrán na bhFiann despite your Irish language skills being limited to telling people to ‘póg mo thóin’.

5. You had nightmares as a child after being told countless stories about the Banshee.

6. You had no idea what the road you grew up on looked like for the first 16 years of your life during the summer because you were sent back ‘home’ as soon as school finished.

7. You cried, or tried to hide when it was time to leave Ireland at the end of the six weeks – questioning the sanity of your parents who swapped flowing green fields for life in a concrete jungle.

8. You envied your cousins in Ireland who had a longer summer holiday than the six weeks you got.

9. Your father, grandfather or an uncle has done, or still works in construction.

10. At least one of your parents walked to school without any footwear and the journey gets longer every time education is brought up in conversation.

11. You do not support England in any sporting event especially the World Cup despite the fact they are almost certain to win.

12. English people on hearing your accent are bemused by your reluctance to support the Three Lions.

13. You have experience of travelling to Ireland on a budget airline only to find that once across the water your baggage failed to reach the same destination.

14. The Euro will never be as cool as the Punt.

15. You can hold your own playing pool as you spent so much time in pubs during your six week summer holidays.

16. You know the history of Ireland better than your parents.

17. You get called a ‘Plastic Paddy’ by Irish people in Britain so feel the need to educate them on the birthplaces of Éamon de Valera, James Connolly and John Aldridge.

18. You burn in the sun and smile in the rain.

19. You get into Gaelic Games during the summer (when the soccer season is taking a break) but only if one of your parents comes from a county actually capable of winning the hurling or football.

21. London GAA – no longer a joke for you

21. You’re planning to visit Ruislip next season as London are no longer a joke.

22. You grew up with a copy of The Irish Post in your house plus at least one copy of a regional paper from back ‘home’ such as the Mayo News.

23. When you have a child of your own born in Britain you make sure they are photographed in something green early on out of fear that the Queen might be celebrating something and a friend buys a T-shirt with the Union Jack all over it.

24. You used to be an altar boy but now only enter a church for weddings, funerals, christenings or possibly Christmas.

25. You know the British-born players who qualify to play for Ireland long before the FAI and Giovanni Trapattoni used to.

26. You can sing at least three rebel songs with such gusto that your neighbours fear an uprising.

27. You have a fondness for Celtic which gets bigger when they are drawn in the Champions League in a group containing AC Milan, Ajax and Barcelona.

28. You have a friend called Ciaran, Brendan, Patrick or Sean.

29. You believe the Bible Code Sundays can read your mind when seeing them play live.

30. One day you hope to go back ‘home’ and stay there until you are pushing up daisies.

31. Yer a bigoted fud.
 
It wouldn't be the same... And we wouldn't let it happen... But what Rangers could and should have done was to start the new club as a homage to the original ideals of the old club. Those lads with their dream or whatever.

Apart from it being nonsensical pretending to be the same club, they are now slaves to it. Whoever holds the reins, they'll have to follow follow forever more. That is one of the reasons that New Rangers will never ever challenge at the top.

I could only imagine if Celtic did ever get wiped out, the fans would fight for the heart and soul of the club and we'd end up with a side following the original ideals of Celtic.

Like I just said, you really are a fud. A sad, bigoted and disingenuous fud at that.

Either you don't know the meaning of the word bigot or you are just throwing it out there to be a hateful ****. Either way you are wrong.

Disingenuous. Certainly not.

Fud.... Well, Fud is in the eye of the beholder.

I am not sure why you keep engaging with me if you think my well of rationale is dry. I try and be a good person Gambol. I don't want to be condescending towards every half wit I come across it is just you make it extremely difficult for me.

And I don't call you a half wit to be offensive. When compared to some of the quarter wits and one sixteenth of wits you align yourself with, that ain't bad<ok>
 
£30 million is chicken feed Timothy... It is £36 million.

I have my red card at the ready to say no to liquidation because I just love that company that runs the club so so much.

Am just yanking yer chain.

Being serious for minute, I wouldn't make the mistake (again) of accusing anyone on a forum of being a bigot. There's just no real way of knowing without actually knowing the real person.

Serious mode ends.

I love you too.

I'm a little upset that a little more umbrage wasn't taken at my insults. But I'll think of some more and better ones.

A wise move not to call people bigots any more.... Especially when you are as racist as you<ok>
 
"Dumb"? Coming from a Sevco fan who is the proud possessor of one fading brain cell, that's a compliment ... my powers of speech are, however, in perfect working order by the way.

"Crazy"? Fair enough ... who isn't?

Bigot :grin:
