The Godfather 72,386 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The way I look at it is if that mob offered me a contract then obviously I'd be doing something right so I'd say to them "Git tae fuck" and wait for Rangers or someone else to offer me the same.Of course if I never got a decent move the wife would disown me and I'd become a bitter drunk who kicks the dog in the ribs when I get in from the pub at 1am.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'd rather spend my career at a lower SPL/SFL club than sign for that mob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Crossing enemy lines and putting a shift in for them because you're being paid a fortune is one thing. Find it hard to believe when people say the likes of Scott Brown are Rangers fans though, you could clearly see in the old firms he hated usI have heard loads if people say he grew up a rangers fan and had a huge poster of mccoist on the back of his bedroom wall which could be seen from across the road in hill of breath? His house was also across ygw road from the Jim Baxter statue. I have also heard he has a rangers tattoo on his calf, not sure how much of this is true though.Possible he stopped supporting us when he went to his or livingston Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Seen photos of him out in Rangers gear on his normal day to day life. Can't see why a tim would do that. Also seen several sources claim he's a childhood Rangers fan.Would imagine those photos you've seen are probably when he's just finished training. Find it hard to believe any footballer on half decent money would shun the designer gear for a day out and opt for the club track suit instead. If nothing else it's a bit try hard. Some might say protesting too much? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Brown's just a mercenary bastard because we wanted him at the same time as them so he could have signed for us if he really wanted Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ironically, David Cooper Templeton grew up as a Celtic fan. His Dad is a massive bear but is Mum is a tim. He supported Celtic, although his brother supports Rangers. Weird family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jintybear 8,579 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Any 'mate' of mine who tried to play rebel tunes in my car would be dropped off at the first opportunity and not hear from me againThis. Anyone in my car knows it's my tunes or they can fuck off. I've dropped off the bitterest tim anyone could meet and he was tapping his feet to the sash after getting out my motor.No-one would even dare to bring that shitey rebel pish into my car let alone have it played!

jintybear 8,579 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Kevin Thomson confirmed Brown was definetely one of us.It's funny how someone can become so bitter towards the team and fans u supposedly supported. I heard all the brown stories but to be honest if I didn't know who he was and I saw him in a white t-shirt I would definitely think he was a tim.

topgoalie 637 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Heard loads of stories over the years, "Scott Brown's tattoo" etc. but how many are there that you can 100% say played for the opposite side they supported.I'll start with Ross McCormack, my driving instructor used to hate him as he's apparently seen him in a boozer singing the soldier song with his mates.Admitted to being one of them as soon as he got his move down south.Remember that prick McCormack could not wait to tell everyone how his team had ALWAYS been Sellik..Danny Wilsons old man is Sellik daft as well...my mate played football with Craig Beatties uncle..staunch Rangers family Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue Legend 61,774 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Kevin Thomson confirmed Brown was definetely one of us.Met a copper on holiday a few years back just when Brown signed, the guy was head of a Hibs supporters group. He knew him quite well from players awards and events. He didn't believe Brown when he said he was signing for them as he knew he grew up a Gers man and thought his deal to join us was done (Brown thought the deal was almost done too).
