“My father wasn’t at all keen on me becoming a Rangers supporter. He was a Glasgow policeman and because of that he resented the whole football scene in Glasgow. ‘He was actually very anti-football. When we were kids growing up he was very vocal on his dislike of the bigotry in football. The police in Glasgow at that time saw it as a basis for thuggery.
“My father took me to that first game reluctantly…”
Dave King, shooting the breeze with the Daily Mail in March last year.
“Like all of you who read this letter, I have always taken pride in being a Rangers supporter. It is something I inherited from my father who, in turn, inherited the legacy from my grandfather. This is what Rangers fans do. We pass on our pride and belief in Rangers to our children.”
Dave King’s letter to the season ticket marketing database last week.
One of the two statements is probably true, although with Dave, who knows? South African judge, Brian Southwood, referred to King as a “glib and shameless liar”. Despite this, the SFA decided he was an appropriate person to run a football club, free to send out messages like this, with the objective of relieving fans of an average of £411 per person. This is what happens when you enable people already branded a shameless liar, what do you expect?
I hope the SFA and Trading Standards are alerted to what’s going on, don’t leave it until it’s too late.
I’m waiting for new of the Ben Nevis Huddle, which should have taken place at the peak of the mountain in the last hour. Over 80 people set out on the climb this morning to raise funds for the Celtic Foundation – to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless and help others in need.
It’s a magnificent Celtic effort. My wee brother’s up there, you can give his fundraising a pound or two here. Thank you.

I’ve liked their stuff for a while but never bought one. The one I got today I hadn’t seen before and really impressed with it.
Jimmy Campbell did Phnom Penh proud
First few minutes of second half already better than the whole of the first
Wee Shaun was sending that far wide.
The goal is down to O’Shea
Big O Sheas back lol !
Back innit ! Justice for the Kilted Hoards lol !
Rik O’Shea
Archdeaconsbench isn’t it funny that you are allowed to tell me I am revelling in victimhood whilst I am not allowed to point out the flaw in your argument.
The OB, on its own, shows that Scotland is an institutionally racist country. There was no other reason to pass that bill than to criminalise Irish Catholicism.
Don’t lecture me on bad treatment pal. Try growing up in the drum and getting regular beatings by the Hun.

Watching this not knowing who to support. Then I think about the SFA and I still do not know who to go for. Then low and behold enter Proven and McCann at half time. Come on Ireland
The scottish used to outnumber the Irish in our household until my wee Da passed and that left us equal , now we have all married Irish partners and now Scottish in minority I shout for Scotland just to keep the arguments going
but like moonbeams I dont get too worried about Internationals

Hamiltontim, did you see the new Henrik Larsson t shirt boca 10 are selling?
It has a side profile of Henrik with a quotation below. I can’t remember what the quotation said unfortunatley.
They have new lubo one out also.
I was in SIlverburn on Thursday getting one of the t shirts they sell for my godson’s birthday.

You can take the Naismith out of the Huns… But you can’t take the Hun out of Naismith
Dena29,
Fine G, how’s yersel? J is fine, says hi. Bit of mixed feelings in Bar 67 about who they want to win this game.
Scotland lead by a point. Charlie taps one over from the 21.
The designer of the Boca range is a bluenose.
… however, he much prefers designing for the Hoops as we are more likely to go for a quirky, humorous approach, and they prefer something more ..concrete.
Overseas bhoy
Jimmy Campbell the boxer? What’s his connection to the place?
Mulgrew gets another 3 points for Scotland
How pish is mulgrew ?
That’s why Murphy isn’t a Celtic class striker too slow far to one footed
Scotland .. Playing much better ..
He provided the Lisbon lions stuff to the bar
