eosmhdo 1,879 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Good piece but Spiers is history now. That's exactly where he should stay, any mention of him just gives him air time. Fuck that, keep him where he belongs, nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yet to see any actual evidence that he was ever a Rangers supporter,I think that's another one of his whoppers. He's a typical snobby middle class so called Protestant who like the rest of the chattering classes in Scotland prefer the downtrodden impoverished provos who play in green and white.

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Spiers is an utter cunt, which means that he's the cunt, of the cunts. His ego knows no bounds, the story is always about him, or Rangers. The sooner the msm ignore him, the better all our lives will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land Rover 789 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Good read , thanks for that . Spiers seems to be one of these journalists who goes about spouting opinions as opposed to writing factual articles . He has contributed to tarnishing the Rangers brand and should be hounded at every opportunity . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueshoff 11,799 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In tweeting that he 'happily dynamite my position' he is stating that he knew he would be fired. So presumably he is not now maintaining that he was telling the truth? Otherwise how would he know he would be fired? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 That tweet after the BBC interview show to me that hes all out of friends and lost it. Fuck him. Also hope Cosgrove was squirming reading that statement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What an article well done D'Art do you fancy Chris Grahams old role as "fan defender" by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue63 82 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 These people are underqualified attention seekers, Hag in particular has an NVQ in journalism and not much else, the media or is that mhedia in Scotland are lazy hacks, who rely on these buffoons to sell their crap, thus giving nutrition to these bigoted no life's.

scottyscott1963 18,293 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Cheers for that D'Art,another great piece. Still think we should not let our guards down with that cunt spiers.A horrible cunt is always going to be a horrible cunt, he will continue his attack on our club from every outlet now left available to him. and the ones who allow him airtime might not take our side when we complain. He is not away yet!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgers 565 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The club should have put a quiet word in the ears of the directors, editors and hosts of these various news and affairs outlets. Warning them if they allow Spiers a platform to tell lies about the club, they will be held accountable in law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Persson 547 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Spiers himself has always struck me as a stranger to football. It is as though he is a cookery writer or badminton expert who has been asked to turn his hand to fill in for a sick colleague's football column. Having no real instinct for the game, it is no surprise that making stuff up has caught up with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamgers 1,214 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 17 hours ago, cushynumber said: If it was true - if - and a current Rangers director did call the The Billy Boys " a great song" in August of last year, what is a shame is that Rangers felt they had to complain to the Herald about Spiers column where he questioned the mettle of the board to tackle offensive chanting - because TBB is a great song - thats why people want it banned. The narrative from Rangers to the Herald was that "you need to prove someone said that" - as if someone at Rangers had done something wrong. What a fantastic opportunity that was to get TBB as a national talking point that could be discussed openly between the Rangers board/fans groups and the Government and police in order to establish some sort of ground rules - to change the lyrics to "big trophies" for example - in order that people are not being arrested for singing it, and Directors can say they like it without fear of media persecution and being labelled bigots. Its all well and good Spiers getting the sack - but I do believe that with the approach Rangers took, a boat was missed, as the stance Rangers took re-enforced the "criminality" of the song. My thoughts are that If TBB is to make a comeback without people being arrested, the club has to take a lead in driving those conversations at a national level. A topic on it in the Bears Den every couple of months wont do it. Instead, Ranger have consigned any discussion around TBB to back room lawyers to protect individual directors - individuals simply accused of saying they like a song. Think about that.

True Azure 1,414 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm certain he used the term "semtex moment" to describe his refusal to abide by Llewellen's stricture. I notice how he has sleekitly avoided using this terminology in any of his tweets,posts, utterances since then, perhaps he decided it was too incendiary? The man's a cunt of the highest order anyway.

scottyscott1963 18,293 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Sorry that I have to add my preference to change fenian to rebel. As that lot across the city see themselves as rebels. So the change would really annoy the fuck out them and show me a court in the land who could prosecute on the word "rebel" and have the club come out to say so would really get it up the soap dodgers.
