Bad news for Hearts but he was always the wrong fit for them and just seems to have accumulated debts.

He is selling all his sports clubs because they've made him poor.

For society to sit back and 'just accept' the wording of a law is wrong and ignore it then we are as guilty as those involved. Why the IRA/UDA have to be mentioned at any civilised gathering is beyond the comprehension of the majority of us - we don't want to hear it!

Not sure what that means. I have made clear my distaste of IRA singing.

Heard an advert on the radio last night for a Thanksgiven celebration bash at Ibrox. That will be the great US republic, that nation that rebelled against the crown and killed British soldiers

What has Thanksgiving got to do with rebelling against the crown?

It does remind me though that we had an Empire on which the sun never set.

I can see a few Hearts players leaving in January. John Sutton to Celtic anyone?

Just pointing out that Thanksgiven is a celebration in a country that rebelled against the crown, fought against the British army and became a republic.

A meeting between the Celtic Supporters Association and Campbell Corrigan that was arranged by the CSA to discuss their concerns about the Hibs game and the policing of the FAC Protest in George Square has been cancelled after Corrigan's comments to the DR.

I think they've taken offence to Corrigan claiming he'll lay down a marker at the meetings.

That's not exactly saying that he'll listen to their concerns.


BTW just so everyone is crystal clear - Gareth Barry SCORED for England on Tuesday night - it's 'fishal now.

Clearly Rangers don't do Irony, much like Americans.

Couldn't have a jonny foreigner score Englands 2000th goal.

Corrigan should have offered to meet the Celtic fans reps without doing so through the DR instead of looking the big man in the press.
