GovanAllan 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I find funny Pete that the people who actually dodged the bombs and bullets seem to be the only ones trying to put it all behind them while we in west central Scotland seem to be going back the way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 One furious Irishman, now living in Glasgow, said: "I could not believe my eyes when I saw Healy pictured with McDonald. "Rangers need to have a serious word with Healy. He should set a better example to kids." Anyone else find this bit weird and also a little amusing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The Sun is a truly shocking 'newspaper' but they are not anti Rangers. They've covered a shitload of anti Celtic stories in the past. They just target whoever they can to sell papers, and can afford to pay out of court when sued. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you sue them for in that story it's the writers opinion and nothing else. The way it's written and the unbalanced view is shocking as is the fact it's written by an ex editor of the Celtic View. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,838 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Robert McAulay hail hails from Coatbridge, he edited his own Sellik fanzine and website. He moved into formal journalism 8-9 years past. He specialises in stories that Rangers/Rangers supporters in a negative light. His real talent is in running interference against similar negative stories reference his beloved Sellik and fellow happy hoopsters. Five years past, John Hartson and Stephen Pearson had been caught banged to rights, standing on a stage inside the Clanree Hotel in Donegal. As the local CSC celebrated their heritage by bellowing songs lionising the IRA, big bad John and Pearo joined in. Scottish tabloids were ready to put still frames of the YouTube footage on their front pages until the fuller version(not at that point on YouTube) showed a pull back angle and the then Sellik Chair, Brian Quinn was on the extreme side of the stage, singing and gesticulating with gusto. Several days past, the Aberdeen based Press and Journal broke the story and all papers followed the next day. Peter Lawwell was ready, he had watched the footage and deemed it , "corrupted by £30 of software". Since MON's time at ra Stydome, Sellik host an annual lunch for selected on message journos. Access to both the Chair and Chief Executive is granted for an off the record briefing. We are talking Stephen McGowan, Peter Martin, Chris McLaughlin, ......... and Robert McAulay. Spiers in his Herald Sports Diary let the cat out the bag. Lawwell hasd specifically thanked McAulay at the lunch for the £30 software line. Further, McAulay had also rescued Quinn's son Aiden a few years before. Remember, TGFITW rioting in Vigo airport? The Guardia Civil wielding batons, planes delayed, planes diverted to Cardiff, ...... etc. The front page of the Herald carroied a photo of a green'n'grey hooped, peroxide toting Aiden standing in the terminal afront a broken plate-glass door. Bloodied but unbowed, Aiden had been an active participant. However, McAulay also in attendance briefed his fellow hacks that Aiden and co had gone to war with the Polis because they had set about a wheelchair bound Yahoo. I suspect McAulay has utilised the Healy photograph because he is back in the Rangers team. I am sure Lawwell will offer further thanks; however, Spiers will not diarise it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is a news story that he's asked someone's opinion on (don't laugh at the back) he might actually have found a genuine Irish man in Glasgow and not the plastic type that he hangs out with. :smile: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmckgers 4 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The question I must ask is who sold/ informed the sun about the picture? They didn't just happen to come across a random picture! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgacus 8 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 McDonald and guys like him are, for better or worse, part of the peace process. The past has to be left behind, its to big a weight to carry and still be able to move into the future. What the article doesn't say is that McDonald was one of the delegates at the Irish National War Museum when the Queen laid the wreath last year, so apparently the UK and Irish Governments don't have a problem with him, just some random Irish person living in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
