Captain_Sensible Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Swing and a miss. Hugh Scott invested none of his money: because he didn't need to. Morton had plenty of cash in the bank when he took over, as the result of moving on stars like McInnes and Lilley from the 95/96 squad that missed out on promotion on goal difference. Lilley moved for a club record fee in 1997. Morton spent the cash available in the bank like, err, every other football club in the country! Morton's subsequent debts were a result of 1) A fully justified fans boycott against the asset-stripping policies of Scott and 2) Scott's refusal to pay outgoing bills, in his attempt to force the closure of the club. Still, at least you're not still absolutely seething at losing Paul Fenwick. ^^^^^^ more and more like a Rangers fan with every post. He'll soon be marching on Hampden. Only in Greenock could spending loads of money on expensive players be described as "asset stripping" Edited April 28, 2012 by Captain_Sensible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No8. Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Christopher Brookmyre on the radio comparing Rangers to a guy whose been visiting prostitutes for 30 years who thinks he must have caught VD from a toilet seat.. Aye and we all know what he is!!!!!! He is to Celtic what Chick Young is to Rangers z list celebrity 'St Mirren Supporter' Aye right Chrissy Bhoy.

vikingTON Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Only in Greenock could spending loads of money on expensive players be described as "asset stripping" Asset stripping clearly refers to trying to sell the ground for retail development, leaving the club homeless. Good effort though, that fully justifies the 0/10 mark after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingrodent Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Aye and we all know what he is!!!!!! The main character in Brookmyre's The Sacred Art of Stealing is a Rangers supporter who defends the club from accusations of institutional bigotry (not very well IMHO, but it's a hard case to make). Also defends the Rangers supporters at the 72 cup final, pointing out that they were fighting with General Franco's fascist coppers, who deserved a bit of a kicking. No doubt there are various z-list celebs who have it in for the Currant Buns, but I don't think he's one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Oh it's in an hour, I can have a roll before I go. Any requests for photos? So far I'm aiming for fattest h*n, reddest face, mankyest shirt, and ugliest c**t in general. I wish you luck in what is certain to be a long arduous quest as you pore over the huge range of choices proffered, pausing only to throw up in the conveniently placed bucket to your side. Just a wee point, excellent post by the way. How come a lot of diddy team fans say the league cup is diddy? Clearly as a diddy team fan we are eyeballing 2 trophies and hoping that the old firm drop the ball on it. As a Falkirk fan i'd be over the moon winning the league cup, f**k i'd be delighted with the egg cup. By no means is the League Cup "diddy" - I simply left it out of my analogy so we were comparing like with like (Belgium having none). "League Cups" are something of a British Isles institution, but one subject to appalling treatment by those meant to be running them (not least of all the removal of the European qualification to it in Scotland lest it deny the OF their "birthright"), but that's another topic entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really understood why removing the Euro place made the cup so instantly unattractive. Your hardcore supporters will attend finals and love to see you lift the cup. Your floating fans only attend big games, if a cup final isn't a big game what is? The daytrippers who go along because it's a cup final are only there for that reason. So who exactly are these people who think it's diddy because their is no Euro place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Leggy and Boss one and the same? We, as Scottish fans, have the right to know! No secrecy, Leggy; journalists don't do secrecy! I notice in the first instance Leggo refers to the man in question as "Neil Drysdale", who is actually a freelance journalist (I have a book he wrote about Dario Franchitti). Is this the sort of imprecise bumbling that he accuses others of? And is it possible to get precise bumbling? Aye and we all know what he is!!!!!! He is to Celtic what Chick Young is to Rangers z list celebrity 'St Mirren Supporter' Aye right Chrissy Bhoy. I was just about to start reading one of his books as well..That wont be happening now as he has just made the Boycott list I'm assuming you're on the wind-up - although hopefully there will shortly be threads on Rangers Mhedia and FollowFollow about him. Will he make the Rangers enemy list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Anyone else hoping for sheer, unadulterated carnage? Obviously with no harm to innocent people or property. Nope. Rangers are fecked as it is and the last thing Scottish football needs is more bad publicity. Just let them die quietly in a corner - no further help required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that could lead to arrests with the multitude of uvf, king billy, FTP and any other dreadful 'body art' that may adorn their torsos. Sure that would lead to public order offence.
