    Re: Rangers FC to liquidate.
    From now on everyone should explicitly call them The Rangers FC.


    If they can run away from their debts, taxes and responsibilities they can run away from their history

    I'm pretty sure they can't call themselves "The Rangers FC"

    No sympathy for Rangers to be honest. Hope Celtic go down the same path, and any other club for that matter that tries to bring sectarianism or racism into the game.

    You'll be able to explain how Celtic bring Sectarianism and racism into the game then?

    The condescension of English football fans knows no bounds.

    I know man, but they'll be forever spouting it no matter what as they don't really know anything about the Scottish game. Total lost cause!

    Rangers are no longer alive, so we can't be tarred with the same brush any more :wink2:

    I.R.A/"Huns" ect. Both are as bad as each other. They used to not want to sign players that weren't Catholic too. That has no place in football in my opinion.

    Really, WOW! Did not expect this. Does this mean that now Celtic will win the Scottish league every single season.

    That is untrue. Celtic voted at their AGM in 1889 on whether to follow Hibernians' signing policy (Catholics only). The proposition was rejected.

    As for supporting the IRA- everyone's default position is opposition, but I've found few people actually know what they're talking about.

    Well seeing as you're a Celtic fan, I'll have to take your word for it, but it doesn't change the fact that both clubs spout sectarianism bile that shouldn't be in the game. Also, If you're referring to the I.R.A, then the debate is indefensible. Neither side should be supported. It was wrong for British troops to enter Ireland, and it was wrong for the I.R.A to bomb and kill innocent people who had nothing to do with the conflict. The motive of the I.R.A. is good but the way they go about it is so so very wrong and that is why they don't have nearly as much support. This is coming from an Catholic with an Irish family and ancestors.

    The information is out there, might have to hunt for it.

    I don't agree with your second point either, but it's a tiresome debate.

    Surely if neither position is defensible, and both positions oppose each other, there is equal merit in each one. (I, broadly speaking, agree with you.)

    I think the reason why both sides are indefensible is that there is no merit in either one. The situation is tricky because the British army was needed to stop the harassment of the Catholic communities in Ireland, however it only seemed to make matters worse and then the I.R.A came along and started bombing innocent people which is also wrong. Its an age old problem which still has not been solved in my opinion.

    Dundee United will be voting no too.

    That's us at 3 no's so far. Dundee United, Hibs and Hearts. Celtic have (rightfully) stayed quiet on this. Motherwell are letting fans decide. If Milne doesn't vote against them, he's going to have to leave Aberdeen and sell up, he'll be chased out.

    All looking good so far.
