Not sure if the dog is a guide dog or they have a section just for animals. Always thought giving blind fans ear phones was a good idea for all fans you can't choose who you sit next to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as he sniffed the Minty pound, though, he was gone. ( Note to ed.: don't insert Keyser Soze gif here.) In all of this, however, the most important thing to remember is that he is an Airdrie fan. Enough said. https://www.channel4.com/news/by/alex-thomson/blogs/succulent-lamb-rack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of hope he loathes himself, but I doubt if he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 On 05/02/2020 at 10:05, mozam76 said: Stewart on Monday, on more than one occasion, said a very simple thing - that Rangers as a club, and it's supporters, were being done a massive disservice by the PR operation at Ibrox. Whether that is true or not (I happen to think it is), that very simple message got lost as he stumbled from one thing to the next. I only just listened to that Sportsound piece and you are absolutely right. Stewart was spot on in calling Traynor a cock and a toxic influence and that we as fans are being done a disservice by his PR role at Ibrox. A fair few of we Rangers fans, including @bennettand @KnightswoodBear,have said much the same. My issue with what I just listened to was not so much the Traynor part but was in Stewart entirely missing the point of the question he was asked and then going on a rambling, petted-lip, moon-howling diatribe about Traynor followed by some confused bollocks about GCC. The issue he was asked to address was a simple one: Morelos may be treated differently to other players in similar situations. Discuss. What I'd then expect to hear is Stewart's remarks wrt the Morelos situation in a calm and sane manner. What we got, instead, was the kind of grievance-junky bollocks that we see here on the Sevco threads on a daily basis. Of course, the clapping seals on here love shite like this but his (partly right) remarks were more fitting of a Sellick or Diddy podcast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspend the guy from the bbc immediately pending a high_level investigation . He'll be questioning same club next, heresy!!

It included pretty much the first part, but not the second as I don't think it's the case. If making sweeping posts about responses "on here", it's maybe an idea to read some, I'd have thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling Traynor a dangerous bully was fine. I've heard much worse said on the programme about figures like John Brown, Ian Cathro and Craig Levein. Nobody cowered in terror on those occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
