But that’s only because some folk can’t separate them such as yourself Bill. And that’s just fine by me. Other folk do separate them and that’s also fine. If everyone on the street believes in God it doesn’t mean he exists. Point to Rangers constitution and where it defines our religious or political allegiance? You can’t. You can only point to people who think like you.

Spot on gaffer. These councillors need punished through the ballot box in their areas and by their party. Glasgow Life snr mgt needs sorted as well. Forgive me if I respect every Rangers fan who puts their club first and who ignore people who try and tell them they are not true Rangers fans or more generally how to vote on global political issues.

Feck me. It just gets worse.

‘Reiterated to encourage the regular let’. It’s as clear as day what is going on.

Looks like the dirty deeds were Ibrox and Cessnock misinforming Glasgow Life to encourage them to drop their approval, GCC not allowing a licensing Board hearing due to above deceit, GCC lying about having no information (to cover up local councillors), and Susan Aitken accusing the club of sectarianism. Whether ahead of Glasgow Life was in cohoots with the Ibrox councillors is another possibility. Not fit for local government and some pretty stupid levels of incompetence in management and not even good at lying. No doubt in my mind Celtic supporting councillors are at the heart of this. Aitken is just incompetent and devious.

Good letter. Hopefully the points in here can be built on, not just about our Fanzone but the continuing sale of public land to Glasgow Celtic at less than commercial value. I imagine GCC is finally waking up to the fact we know they are not representing all the citizens and institutions of Glasgow in a fair, even handed manner. (Only slight point would be to remove Hummel from footer not sure they would want to get drawn up in this).

....and they can add to that apology for failing to condemn and punish Celtic and their fans at the time.

This is a Rangers forum. He did quite well against the Tims.

He asked a black guy at a gig to smile so he could see him. Now in my mind that 100% depends on how it was said as to whether it was racist. Black people are comfortable with being black and being referred to as black. If it was meant to demean the guy then it’s racist for sure and should be condemned. If racism is the reason for the action they should clearly state it and we would all understand but then they have to also justify why they payed Griffiths (convicted racist) and McKay. In fact they would have employed Griffiths tonight if he hadn’t told them to feck off. Noone can have any dispute if HOF nominations are subject to moral considerations and if they then reject gazza on that basis but the SFA have to do it in a consistent way with reference to organisational values and codes of conduct. They can’t just make it up as they are going along and issue vague statements which kick a mentally ill guy when he’s down.

They can revoke it but they shouldn’t include health (and in this case it is clearly mental) as the reason. And if they use other rationale such as wife beating or criminal imvestigation or racism then they need to state that. They then need to explain why they employ a racist and why a convicted racist is paid money for footballing services to them.

Just read this after I put my own comment in. So mentally ill people are excluded. F**k me ?

If mentally ill, alcoholic, bipolar people (whatever it is Gaza has but he clearly is not a well man) are excluded we should be told. What is the standard of mental health and associated behavioural norms required for this award? I can get why they have done this as times change (rise of women’s fitba etc) but yet again our officials who are paid fortunes demonstrate their inability to think things through and get anything right.

That’s true. I thought it had a broader definition but doesn’t ?

Agreed redsocks and again it’s the people who rely on radio who suffer - such as the elderly.

Cheers Scott. They are definitely subject to FOI according to government uk website. I’m going to do it anyway. It’ll take about 3 minutes.

For the record and I am sure bbc folk look at this website so you should take note; once the Scottish teams are out of Europe I will be filing an FOI request asking how much has been spent in total covering Scottish teams abroad in Europe by BBC Scotland since Europa league stages commenced nail the end of that stage. If Rangers get further than Celtic I will ask for the amount up to and including Rangers departure. If Celtic go further I will draw stumps at the final point when both were still in the competition. Expenses, non-salaried staff and salaried staff payments, operational costs. If they can’t answer it will be damning on their accounting procedures and their trustworthiness to manage spend and achieve value, if they can answer it will be damning because we will know where all the money went and at that point I would hope that statements from a selection of disadvantaged Rangers fans who can only access BBC for sports coverage can be collated by someone. We will know then in measurable financial terms how some fans are being impacted and also what the BBC are spending to pursue this agenda of disenfranchisement of licence paying Rangers fans who are dependent on responsible and reasonable coverage of their team.

In most jobs that would be serious misconduct. The bbc then use arguments about journalistic integrity with respect to mcglauchlin.

I think he can be a good EPL player. More suited to British football than continental. A combination of power, speed and a good level of skill. He should stay with stevie g for another season after this.

He’s worth whatever Tierney is worth.

You missed out I’ll Phil, semicolon Joe and about half a million other Tims ?

We can and should sing it but change one word. It is a fantastic war cry and whilst pro footballers are genuinely not intimidated the way we belt that out would be another weapon to return us to fortress Ibrox.

No. Would it make it better if we both did? If we had our ground closed for a tie it would cost us a million quid. That buys a player or pays a years wages for a good one. Anyone singing the Billy Boys and knowing the consequences are potentially damaging the club. Why folk cant change one word is beyond me.

Ser Barristan has conditional praise on Alfredo, highlights Billy Boys and all in one thread. Meanwhile everyone else sees the positives. Just one month after dismissing Alfredo and refusing to answer the question I asked the previous time you had a go about how much he is worth. I’ll ask you again. What is your valuation?

We really miss the composite Jack brings. He takes balls off defenders and we build better from the back. Our CHs sometimes lack composure and we end up starting poor sequences of possession with poor distribution from the CHs.

I agree with that. I was hoping stevie g would make a change more quickly. I can’t agree with him that we were outstanding for 90 minutes. I thought we were very good in the second half but not with so much craft when we basically ran them off their feet. However Rapid were a very clever team and quite cynical and at all times I felt (even in the first half) that if we could get a lead we could give them a going over. I think there was a nervousness in the first half as the players worked out Rapid and then Stevie obviously had wise words at half time. Should take a lot of confidence from that and hopefully our players start to learn that they are the 2nd half team in terms of capability.
