Could have been shyness, but did anyone notice craigy boy takin a red neck during the interview on stv??he appears a slimy wee guy

Believable2 Unbelievable0

We'll if all my past dealing were dragged out in the media by a bunch of bias f***wits I would have a red face too,

Agree0 Disagree1

He was under pressure mate, he was lying through his teeth! Hence the beamer on his huge, ugly pie of a heid, lol.....Miko

Agree1 Disagree0

I hate the BBC, but you couldn't make that up tonight.

The guy is a disgrace and should never be at the helm of our great club....we have no credibility left.

Chairman of Glasgow Rangers and you were banned from holding a directorship for 7 years.....that's a disgrace.

Agree3 Disagree0

Get Real, ffs gadafi dead and the front page news of BBC scotland is Craig Whyte ffs .. The People in charge of the great Club before Whyte came on board are the real people the BBC should be attacking and those are the ones that caused this , the guy is trying to fix the club and it might take a man with knowledge in the Administration field to get us through this, I think he knows exactly what he is doing, I can see why people are angry and upset with the way his past was laid out, but if you saw his interview with STV - he said, "he is in and around the club and has nothing to hide" If he was planning something like assett stripping as the BBC are making out, he would be doing it from a distance away, I think after it's all said and done - we will be alright. Has anyone stopped for a second to consider what asset stripping is left to be done - he could sell all the top players, Murray Park and Ibrox and it still wouldn't pay the 49 Million the tax man would want .. never mind the other 3 Million and the 18 million he paid to Lloyds .. I cannot see him making a profit out of that, I do think in the event of the taxcase going against us, he would use administration to protect the club and Im no expert in that, but that might be the "restructuring" he meant.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2011 23:14:29
From the Evening Times tonight, don't know if any of you noticed it, but it said "any Tax Bill handed out to Rangers would be subject to appeal" - considering it has taken years to get this far, the appeal could come around when we are going for 10 in a row :-)

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Wyte stated tonight that Rangers ''would not'' appeal and that they would accept the outcome.

We are heading into administration, whether it's a good or a bad thing is open to major debate, but Whyte is quite comfortable going down that route if need be.

Listen! if you are banned from being a director of a company for 7 years, that is major and something extremely serious has gone on.

You can take a company into insolvency, admin, bankruptcy, liquidation, you can even dump a company and not pay your bills, and you 'can still' hold directorship.

Whyte....is a very very dangerous operator to have in charge of Rangers.

Agree5 Disagree0

Whyte isn't appealing though!.......Miko

Agree1 Disagree1

20 Oct 2011 23:00:21
Just watched that debacle on BBC what a lot of crap mr speirs doesn't half hate us feelings are mutual mr whyte is a right artful dodger but we have to back him if we win the tax case and he thinks we will let's see what happens after that. This time next year everything will be Rosie we will have 4 in a row be in the champions league have new signings in whyte we trust Ps the last board knackerd us sir David Murray well rid. Happy bear

Believable2 Unbelievable3

F*** man, you have been on the mega strength smarties tonight.

We are totally gone man.

Heading into administration with all the players of any value sold off

Haha GERman, what was the score? That's a few more quid in the coffers! Delighted with 1-1 away to Rennes, obviously I am considering our defence and away record.

Also delighted with the BBC documentary on Rangers tonight, still got a massive grin on my huge, big fat coupon! lol. BBC have done a right number on you lot, I have to say I can see why you're all upset by it. However, there are some revelations in the documentary that should concern you all, mwaa.....sleep tight my lovelies....Miko x

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Pray tell Miko, don't leave us hanging, give us definitive proof. Looked like innuendo and hearsay, methinks Beeb may have cocked up.

Agree0 Disagree1

OH miko the thicko you are so infatuated with Craig Whyte so what yous drew 1-1 for gods sake its only pennies in the coffers and when was the last time you won in europe if you and the And as for the BBC raking muck up about Craig Whyte these are only allegations not fact so before you come on creaming your pants get the facts and the man himself is on STV tomorrow so if you can take your time away from the Gossip club in your street as i said take time to assess your own clubs performance before slagging ours

GERman

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you saying you're absolutely happy that Whyte has no case to answer to? You have no concerns with Whyte and your club's current financial status? Fair play wee man, we'll see what happens......Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol, I just gave you my views on our result, delighted with 1-1. The documentary wasn't solely about Whyte, it started with the cumulative irresponsible spending of your club which culminated in substantial debt. Watch it again, you'll see. Yes, Whyte got pelters and rightly so, his interview on STV was also pathetic and dispelled nothing! Let's see if he sues, as has been suggested. If he doesn't, well.......

GERman, I'm not infatuated with Whyte, I'm merely pi55ing myself at your club! lol

Miko x

Agree0 Disagree0

One more thing GERman, tell me what the BBC's "allegations" of Whyte are? Do elaborate please as you intrigue me!....Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

NO problem miko i will give you the allagations of the BBC now this is what they are saying >

Evidence of alleged criminality in the past business dealings of Rangers FC's new owner has been uncovered by a BBC Scotland investigation.

It found that Craig Whyte was banned from being a director for seven years.

The BBC heard allegations that Mr Whyte controlled a company despite his ban, an offence which could incur a two-year jail term. It was later wound up after misleading potential shareholders.

Mr Whyte denied all the claims "in the strongest possible terms".

So there you have some of it from the BBC themselves i know theres more but for christs sake the man bought Rangers when no one else was intrested and forget his past everyone has a past but we all have to move forward in our lives no point in dwelling on the past is there like me you will have to wait on the whole outcome before passing judgement on the guy as the saying goes innocent until proven guilty.
*PLEASE NOTE THE WORD ALLAGATION *
GERman

Agree0 Disagree0

The club your always trailing......

Agree0 Disagree0

I had a joke with a fellow bear in work last night saying there would be more Celtic fans watching the whyte documentary than watching their own team playing in Europe, by the comments I have seen from miko and co seems like my prediction was correct. If only you could place a bet on something like that.
Cheer up lads you can always win the league when we go bust but while we are in existence you will always be second best. Long live the Gers mr whyte will see us through this.

Why do the BBC have an agenda against Rangers? Why would they? Revelations about Whyte (& associates) and his business practice shows him in a bad light, I felt their dossier on him wasn't very balanced,however there may be reasons for that?

Alastair Johnston revealed he specifically advised against Murray selling to Whyte, he was the Chairman of an independent board so had no ulterior motive other than to ensure the takeover was beneficial to the business and its shareholders. He then revealed he was asked to resign by Whyte to which he replied "No Surrender!". This man is obviously more of a Rangers man than Whyte is, so logic would suggest that any supporter in his position, with the best interests of the club at heart, would have embraced Whyte with his millions if he was legitimate.

What is clear is that Whyte is in a no lose situation and that he will not appeal should Rangers lose the case. My interpretation into that is, he will be quite happy to call in the administrators, reclaim his £18m as primary creditor, Rangers will be under administration and in turn, lose their identity as Rangers Football Club.

He's had previous in this regard with other ventures, broken promises/declarations that have led to businesses being wound up. Have the BBC sensationalised their revelations regarding Whyte, or is there genuine and reasonable concerns?

I could go on, however everything surrounding Whyte remains murky........roll on November, this is getting really tasty!.....Miko....Hail Hail

Believable0 Unbelievable2

How would we "lose our Identity" by going into Administration, what do you mean by that - If we go into Administration, all creditors including your local hero the taxman would get next to hee haw - You heard Spiers say it - it would be embarrasing I agree - but rather that than insolvency and having to change the clubs name to the Queens 11 We are the people Rangers :-) - and lastly why would Whyte "not appeal" a tax bill - are you completely mental ? - he is appealing one the now for 1.4 million you complete and utter fud (is fud allowed ed) {Ed003's Note - Fuds fine mate,talking of losing identity,wont be long before someone suggests buying Leyton Orient and joining a foreign league ;-) }

Agree0 Disagree0

Whyte has all but declared his intentions. He will not appeal if they lose the tax case, he's prepared to take the club into administration, it's probably his intention to do so anyway. He'll get his money back and you'll be in administration for years! It'll set you back big time, no transfer budgets, capped salaries, etc. You'll be playing youth teams and fighting relegation.....ya fud, lol.....Miko x

Thank Christ the previous Celtic board pre fergus never pockled the attendances and Dermott Desmond is squeaky clean. Mind you don't think the celtic minded BBC will look into that.

well everybody whyte is suing BBC for that s**t program the night hope he sues them for every penny he can get he is getting his lawyers ready to start a case against BBC as soon as possible according to Craig whyte all that BBC were saying is just allegations and that's all it is BBC i will never watch it in my life again

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Mate, unfortunately, we pay the BBC to operate and therefore it's our money he'd be taking. I agree that the programme tonight was a disgrace; the way the bbc conducts themselves is entirely unprofessional and most certainly not neutral. That being said, they'll just be claiming that they've merely repeated these accusations and that they aren't slandering him... they'll have put some thought into this "character assassination". Maybe if they'd thought about it a little bit more, they'd realise how bad an idea it was. Muzz

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2011 21:51:27
What a load of rubbish on that BBC thing tonight. Nothing really new , a few dodgy deals, hardly the crime of the century. U have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet. Whyte is the right man to sort our club out.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

You are having a laugh.....you don't get banned from being a director for 7 years for doing a few dodgy deals......we have a crook and a guy who is verging on a criminal in charge of our club......something not right hear.

Alistair Johnston was absolutely fuming and almost in tears, that was no act.

Forget that we are 10 points ahead of Celtic, Rangers are in very serious trouble, much much more than we may think.

Agree2 Disagree1

I've listened and read alot of the posts on this forum,Why doesn't the BBC do a documentary on the dealings at ''CHELSEA'' MAN UTD OR EVEN BIRMINGHAM i'm sure their owners would have nice back grounds to discuss

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Oct 2011 21:33:56

Mr Whyte has tonight said that he has 30,000 employees all around the world......

Dimalloy i have now come to the conclusion you are never a true fan of the manky mob cause if you were you would have watched them on tv so dont come on this site potraying your your a die hard fan as i said before you need to look at your own teams affairs cause we can handle our own affairs without you wetting your pants with all the excitement thats going on with our team and by the way who cares if you come on the CHAMPIONS site tomorrow we know what to expect from someone with a lonely brain cell like yours.


GERman

He ran out of 50ps for his telley meter

Agree0 Disagree0

How many points are we ahead in the league ? would loosing 10 make a difference, not really, as their's not much of a challenge.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2011 21:18:00
Bears, as you know I am always there with a sympathetic comment for you, after watching the BBC dont call the Samaratins call Timalloy instead LOL Timalloy (ps as we all know Mr Whyte loves big houses, do you think soon he could be living in an even bigger house in Glasgow? FAIL FAIL MR WHYTE

Believable0 Unbelievable2

20 Oct 2011 21:09:27
Right lads. Didn't see the docu about the Champions. What did I miss.

Judging by the mixed comments I don't know what to make of it.

From what I am hearing there was no reliable sources whatsoever to prove anything and also that it was our "biggest fan" Graham Spiers reporting?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

20 Oct 2011 21:03:14
So what does banning the BBC include? no Scottish cup games shown on BBC? and also will we not be on sportcence highlights?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

One word springs to mind " Principals" .Some things are bigger and more important than your TV schedule. R/R

Agree0 Disagree0

R/R you are 100% correct Principals it is time Mr Whyte had some LOL Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Without Rangers the coverage is diluted, the product is damaged, Rangers would be free to do a radio or TV deal with whomever they pleased

Agree0 Disagree1

Wrong, they are contractually obligated to allow the BBC access for filming games and certain interviews. By banning them they leave them selves open to yet more court action.

Agree0 Disagree1

20 Oct 2011 20:23:42
The best thing that could happen would be for Celtic to scrape through the Europa league and do their bit for the co-efficient for a change and then when they mess up in the league they would have a ready made excuse for their 1888-man squad not being able to cope with the same number of games we did last season. They could never win it so where is the harm? Any chance we can we get together a top ten of Green and White excuses, I'll start with:

1. Rangers are simply the best!
2. Motherwell took our ball and wouldn't give it back!
3. The ref/linesman is a Mason!

C'mon the Gers, no more dodgy slip ups!

the rangers fans on this site really annoy me. Iv said all along that whyte is a conman and the documentary proves it.

guys like Johnstone and Greigg are the real rangers, this guys is a clown who only wants to make a quick buck.

I know we had no option as he was the only guy interested but if this is the end what a sad way to go..... some of the idiots on this forum will only realize what Whyte is doing once we are insolvent - call yourself fans you are a complete disgrace

Not a documentary or investigation by the BBC. It was a character assassination by the BBC ! The same BBC that have brought you various misrepresentations of the club, most recently carefully edited clips of McCoist to portray him in a bad light but also obscene tags on pictures of Rangers players on their website. {Ed014's Note - He should have sued the BBC if it was lies, libel or slander.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

Remember it's out licence money that pays for that programme and they call Whyte shady that company itself is corrupt use public money to line their pockets and put that rubbish on!

Agree2 Disagree1

I've heard he is suing. From what i can see, he may be quite right to do so, just because he's not telling the press doesn't mean it's not happening. Muzz.

You clearly are dumb mate

Can't believe I missed the programme!! Was it what I thought it would be, the usual suspect reporting one sided bias! Should we be worried?

GDog

Guys I sometimes have a 5 knuckle shuffle when I am bored in bed. Just because I have not broadcasted before now does not make me dodgy.

Agree0 Disagree0

The program was titled Rangers The Inside Story did i miss something.agree with first post all it was a slur on Rangers owner.seems bbc money stretches to freebees to Monaco to get what?a look at where C Whyte stayed.think we need to investigate why our licence money is spent in this way.

Agree2 Disagree0

The BBC glorified the people who put us in this mess, as for him sueing , he could have sued them for the editing of McCoist alone, If he doesn't sue he is mental, Any bets the BBC hire that clown McBride to defend them

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Oct 2011 19:36:15
After watching the BBC programme this evening I can honestly say that it didn't show anything that we didn't know already, the old directors were just showing sour grapes to the new owner.
Yes I believe Craig Whyte possibly carried out his previous business dealings in a way that could be seen as shady but I genuinely believe that he will bring our club through all this .

Believable3 Unbelievable3

You are possibly the dumbest person on here. some fans on here will only realise what whyte is all about once he has gone off to monaco with all rangers cash once we are in administration.

Agree0 Disagree1

What cash? we haven't got any you d1ck. It's aw his money anyway. Nobody knows f*ck all on here. Lets just get behind the team and Craig Whyte. Need I remind you David Murray got us in this mess and has convieniently slinked off saying f*ck all after all those years in charge. It's time everybody just shut their hole about Craig Whyte and got on supporting the team. All I can see is so called Rangers men grasping for more money from a club they claim to love when they've already been paying themselves obscence wages during a period where we were hemorrhaging money.

I cannot wait until 7pm to see full BBC programme, but if allegations are correct many questions like
Why did SFA not investigate Whyte under "fit and proper owner regulations"
It looks like whyte's poor business dealings were there for all to see why did Scottish journalists not investigate like Young, Traynor, Keevins shame on the lot of you.
HMRC must be rubbing their hands with glee as these revelations become public, if whyte has anything to hide HMRC will find it.
A better day for Celtic fans than I could have hoped for. Hail Hail Timalloy (a guy who always pays his taxes)

Guys, I've said this on here before. But Whyte has my full backing, as far as I can see he has done what he has said he was going to do, he's invested in the team, he's done some work to Ibrox and Murray park, he's got Lloyds of our back and he never backs away from answering questions on the running of the club, more than I can say for Sir David Murray. Every time he's asked about the tax issue he gives the same answer. He's confident we will win but if we don't we may have to go into administration, what more do you want him to say? That's coming from his mouth! Just because the tabloids and EX employee's (who haven't worked under the new regime and are only interested in lining there own pocket) say different means nothing. Let's be honest if he didn't buy us who would have? I don't remember any wealthy Russians waiting in the wings!! And would we be sitting top of the league 10 clear of Celtic?? I doubt it cos McGregor, Davis, Jelavic etc wouldn't be there. We now live within our means and about fooking time too!!

Cheers for the reply to that, but do you want to borrow my b****cks and leave your name? And please explain to me how program proves we are heading for administration? put the cheap cider down and get the hamster running for a minute, would Whyte have instructed his lawyers to file a lawsuit if it was all true?

Craig Whyte: I will see this through
Published on 20 Oct 2011


EXCLUSIVE by CHRIS JACK

CRAIG WHYTE today assured Rangers supporters he will underwrite an investment of £20million into the club by 2016 – but revealed he is open to the idea of other major investors coming on board and fan ownership schemes.

He also denied rumours that the club were running out of money and insisted that, although £3m of cash has been frozen in three pending claims against them by HMRC, former chief executive Martin Bain and finance director Donald McIntyre, there would be scope to make signings in January.

Details emerged today of his first meeting with the four board members of the powerful Rangers Supporters’ Trust, which took place yesterday at Ibrox.

Whyte – who reiterated Rangers would survive even if they are hit with a £49m tax bill in their on-going battle with HMRC even though much of his future plans hinge on the outcome of that case – wants to establish a working base for the club’s commercial operations in the City of London, like Manchester United,

Whyte was questioned on a number of topics, and the RST were pleased with his open and honest approach.

Trust board member Mark Dingwall said: “The meeting went very well. It was very open and relaxed and Mr Whyte answered all our questions that were put forward on behalf of our members. Everyone who attended was satisfied with how the meeting went. He is committed to engaging with the fans and groups such as the Trust, the Rangers Supporters’Assembly and Association.

“He is confident regarding the tax case but, if it does not go the way Rangers hope, he is determined to see the club through. He is fully committed to protecting small shareholders going forward, no matter the circumstances.

“He talked about the fact Manchester United have offices in London and meeting with the commercial director there to see how they operate. He thinks Rangers have maybe been under-selling themselves over the years and is keen to take advantage of the fact that the club is so well supported across the world. He is keen to expand the Rangers brand.

“We have a particular interest in fan involvement and Mr Whyte was certainly very interested in that and the nature of that. It is something that needs discussion, but he was speaking about looking at the model used at Hamburg and also by some Portuguese clubs. He is hoping to go to Hamburg for the friendly and speak with people at the club regarding this matter.”

The minutes from the Whyte meeting with the RST reveal ...

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CLUB: The chairman is 100% committed to protecting the rights of small shareholders in the event of the club going into administration.

He does not consider that insolvency is inevit-able, but in any case it will be manageable. He stated “as a Rangers fan it would be as uncomfortable and unpleasant” for him as for everyone else, but he was confident we would see it through. There is no doubt the club would continue.

THE TAX CASE: The chairman expects the case to come to a head before Christmas, but any outcome would still be subject to appeal.

INWARD INVESTMENT: The chairman re-iterated he will underwrite the investment of £20m by 2016. However, he is open to other investment from other major investors and the fans.

FREEZING OF CASH DUE TO LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: The chairman conceded this makes life difficult with regard to cash-flow, but it will not affect the club’s ability to, for instance, make signings in the January window.

FINANCE: The chairman regards it as necessary to pursue a twin-track approach in the current climate with both cost- cutting and income generation being the keys to financial health.

He used the example of the Manchester United operations base in London where they engage with major corporations to exploit commercial value.

He is actively seeking to establish an office for Rangers in the city of London – he regards the club as a big one and thinks it’s time we started acting in a manner befitting one; believes Rangers has vast untapped potential.

RESIGNATIONS OF DIRECTORS: The chairman said he considered he got on well with both John Greig and John McClelland and he first heard of their resignations was when they were reported in the media. He felt he had not excluded them from decision-making.

FAN REPS: As fans are the major investors in RFC, the Trust favours looking at mechanisms to give them a real say in the affairs of the club.

The chairman is very open to such moves, but stressed the club finances are very much subject to the result of the tax case.

LEARNING FROM OTHER CLUBS: The chairman hopes to visit Hamburg and see how a large fan-owned club like HSV operates.

He also believes the membership system of Portuguese clubs could be worth exploring and which parts of them might be applicable to Scotland.

Whyte was asked about his decision to ban the BBC ahead of tonight’s documentary programme, to be screened at 7pm, into his takeover and the club’s future.

The minutes revealed: “The chairman considered that allegations put to him so far by the BBC were unfounded and unfair.

“He is not aware of all of the content of the programme but, after viewing, he will respond accordingly.

“He views the ‘BBC Investigates’ programme as part of a pattern of behaviour on behalf of the BBC towards Rangers and Rangers fans.

“He’s astonished that the BBC would produce a programme largely based on internet chit-chat and bloggers.”

Craig Whyte sir, I love you. :D the future's bright!

Agree4 Disagree0

Watch both items tonight and make your own minds up, celtic fans want to believe anything that is negative towards Rangers, with gers fans, in the main, only wanting to believe in positives.

Agree1 Disagree0

The programme tonight will be interesting. I have been aware of issues in the BBC for a year or so now, more so this year. I have complained directly a number of times regarding their reporting on bigotry and sectarianism and how it is reported squarely on Rangers a number of times. I could not care less for the Rangers fans who reply 'you sound like them' with your paranoia. I am not paranoid in any way, I am purely passionate about protecting the brand and good name of Glasgow Ranger. Whenever I feel able to voice my anger and concern I will. I truly feel not enough of us do. I fell that tonight's show will reveal further that the BBC have 'issues' with Glasgow Rangers and some who work there are determined to tarnish our club.

I hope there is no skeletons in Whytes closet.

Heard him on real radio briefly talking about this thing on stv. I'll be honest for someone who's in the spot like he is he's not full of confidence, on the radio he was dead ehh ehh & stuttering then finishes off with check my track record it speaks for it self.

If thats the case it's not to promising?

Lenny

Agree0 Disagree1

There was a call on real radio last night and the caller as talking about the BBC and said that every single sectarian report that the BBC have published on their site has contained pictures of rangers fans, including times where the report was nothing to do with rangers ie. hearts, celtic game.there was a report on the singing that went on during the game yet the pics the published were gers fans ?!

I aint actually checked this up or anything just goin on what a caller was saying.

Just seen some of the upcoming interview with Craig Whyte and I really do have full trust and confidence in him. He's an intelligent, successful guy and his passion for Rangers is evident. I'm looking forward to seeing the full interview and also looking forward to the tax case being resolved and holding no liability to Rangers as a club, I then have no doubt fellow bears that we will see a real change in Rangers financially and the club prospering as it always does. we welcome the chase AND the case.

Anyone else think John Fleck should get a run in the team?

Believable11 Unbelievable6

I would like him to go on loan and play every week, I thought he did well against Liverpool at CM.

GovanFR

Agree3 Disagree0

I agree. In my opinion, our search for a creative midfielder this season wasn't necessary: Fleck is every bit as promising a youngster as ness or wylde, it's a shame that ally seems to under rate him. Would defy the team to play without him after ten or twelve games as i belive he;d be a key player for us if given a chance. He's only 19 though so there's plenty of time for him to get his chance, though i do feel he's scotland's best prospect at the moment. Muzz

Agree8 Disagree0

Ok, I may not annoy you, however you come across as an angry little man. Why are you boycotting the BBC, you've not even seen the the documentary yet. It may actually give you an insight into what's going on at your little club. Of course you'll watch it, we all know you will, we'll all watch it, some of us will probably be p*55ing ourselves laughing! Later wee man! lol......Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

Miko, mate, i've never really spoken out against you as i feel like it's almost redundant... but why are you here? Honestly, i don't see the point as i think you're expecting some illiterate, outraged response which you occasionally get and you label it "banter". I genuinely think that you and your celtic chums should stick to your own page - fair enough, i'd more than understqnd the odd gloating comment, but you seem to spend so much time on this page - bearing in mind i've never checked the celtic page - that i can't possibly imagine you can afford to spend the time checking out your own. What's the deal mate? Muzz

Strange list when A C Milan with 7 European Cup triumphs are below the plague with one win, to be honest I didn t know that celtic had won the european cup, no- one ever goes on about it............................

The fact that the 1998-99 Manchester United treble team isn't on here shows how much Miguel Delaney knows about football.

What about this, too...... Rennes will gub you lot and then the sheep will come down to yer swamp and leave with at LEAST a point. We will get at LEAST a point and who gives a toss what M/well get, they will finish above you dwellers........... Yer post means nothing, absolutely nothing. Rangers 'til I die

Agree0 Disagree0

Guys, it's quite obvious the list is compiled based on a generation of European teams that performed consistently over a sustained period of time in the European Cup. For instance, the Celts team between 67-75 got to two European Cup finals, two SF's and two QF's and awarded points based on this, hence 8th on the all time list......Miko

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha, you know now wee man, there's a big replica in our trophy cabinet, phone up and book a tour! lol.......Miko {Ed001's Note - or book an Anfield tour and see a real one ;o)}

How many away points did yer tiny wee club accumulate in the Champs league ?? That stat is far closer to the TRUTH about yer wee provincial club.

hi theyre edd just an idea,i see u have added many different forum s , how about a forum for football betting?(lot of google searches done for football betting)people could put theyre lines in for discussion ,and for upcoming fixtures ect and good bets /odds ect

just an idea i thought i would pass on thanks for a good site {Ed001's Note - we do already have people giving tips on the Liverpool site, so that would make sense. I am not much of a gambler myself, but I do love to pick who I would bet on if I was going to bet and then torment myself with how much I would have won!}

I notice that the team sitting in 8th ( celtic ) were the 1st club side to win the european cup with a team made up entirely of foreigners
