Gascoigne8 3,402 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Fuckin scooby doo would have a field day at ibrox unmasking all these creepy bastards. All we need now is houston in a blazer and david murray to appear through the back door and finally we will all see how we have been taken for mugs.

bluepeter 5,627 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well, I don't know about Greg's qualifications for the role, but there's no doubt he's a Rangers fan so I wish him all the best in the job. There's no reason he shouldn't have gone for it, and now he's got it I hope it works out well for him and the fans. That said, it does smack a bit of cronyism, but maybe he was the best applicant for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a mandatory UEFA role yeah so surely we can't just pick bits out of their job description for the SLO that the board like and do it our own way? Kinda defeats the purpose of it.

He's a bear but I won't name him just incase. Can't mind who the last one was but there was four left at the end Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Can't sing the Billy Boys in the pub so what chance you got of them helping fans out now? And I like Greg too as it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,327 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Dont really have an issue with this, he resigned his role at 1872 a long time ago, he is obviously a Rangers man. So good luck to him. Would people rather would appointed anti-Rangers folk everywhere. He seems genuine enough to me, although I admit I dont know him personally.

I also have no problem with other peoples' ... let's say ... "alternative interpretation" .... as it kind of makes sense ... but to use your own words Peter "I have always known it to mean" the opposite of what you take it to mean mate ... At the close of day what does it really matter in the greater scheme of life? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
