The Moonlighter's posts on our founders and their lives can be both heart warming and heart wrenching. This one falls into both categories. Your work is appreciated, my good man.

It will make the fight to achieve a top 6 SPL spot more accessible to other clubs for the foreseeable future. This is definitely good for Scottish football.

Ah, things become clearer with His word.

Why hast God forsaken Dundee Hibs, Hibernian, and Celtic FC in recent days? Is it because they do not behave as He would have them behave, or is it because The Lord loves karma?... ...or is it because He is our God, and we are the people of his pasture? I would just like to know the truth.

The mantra on the Dundee forum has been GDSDD. I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments of this initialism...get down, stay down, die.

? Hmm. Excellently thought out argument. What are your views on the Syrian crisis?

The only sensible reply posted. All other posts are nonsense..

Sorry to be a Johnny Come Lately on the thread/lyric argument, but that most definitely was NOT the lyric. If you think that was the 70s lyric, you were on the Eldorado...er, sorry, I mean you ARE on the El D.

The RSPCA have recently released a statement about owners who are currently teaching their budgies to say "Ally is NOT a fu cking pretty boy".

Somewhat. I have to admit to forgiving Kenny a bit though. His goals have so fu cked timothy up, and shoved their "they've signed Kenny" cartoons right up their arse, that he has softened my attitude. However, my granda didn't name his budgie Kenny, and have to take his cage out to the veranda and throw it to fu ck. So on that level, Alfie has some making up to do.

Another 70s favourite of mine with that tune...but you seem to have the lyric confused with something else.

Started by Rangers fans in the 70s. We are the celtic haters is a great chant. Each to their own.

It's about as far from a Masonic handshake as Nicola Sturgeon is from being a Playboy centrefold.

Rangers have never hibsed a cup final to my recollection.

Not quite. Legends such as Alfie Conn have been greater disappointments than Ally.

I'd have thought that the club they disliked the most, would be the club who asked them, in the name of Roman Catholic brotherhood, to play a charity game in 1888, and who then signed almost all of their players in a series of backstabbing deals offering the players a shitload of money. This almost put Hibernian out of business, and they barely survived by the skin of their teeth. All of this can be read on the official Hibs internet site, history section, and yet they hate us more. Maybe it's a religious thing, I don't know.

Ally is a Ranger and doesn't deserve to be despised. However, whatever way you look at it, he took money from the club that he didn't earn, and that has been his downfall with a lot of fans. He served the club as a player and manager and that should never be forgotten, but he mixes with some dubious characters who might have a bearing on his actions involving Rangers, and who definitely influence the things he says...which is the most unforgiveable thing. I haven't read everything on this thread, so I don't know if his good pals from EK the Keans have been mentioned, but in my opinion they are a big part of Ally's problems. The Keans are EK businessmen with a rabid attachment to the filth. They have an interest in the new EK Thistle football team, and at one time I think they were trying to get an involvement in Clyde FC to take them to the town. The dodginess of their business dealings is well known around the town, and Ally has far too much involvement with them. Every time I see an Ally quote where he bows down to the filth, I see his friendship with the Keans, and his reluctance to upset them all over his words. I've never met Ally, but my mother knew his mother well and she only ever talked about Ally's love for Rangers, so I know his heart is in the right place. Ally has turned into a naughty wee boy in the past years who got involved with the wrong crowd, in my opinion. If I was him, I'd tell that lot to sling their hook.
