"The Rangers Football Club is not actually a Protestant football club, it's an anti-Catholic football club. Celtic for instance, although it started as a Catholic charitable organization, was not particularly relgious, it was Irish. It was a national organization, rather than a religious organization. And they have no religious scruples, I mean many Protestants have played for Celtic Football Club, but never a Catholic ever played for Rangers."

-Cliff Hanley

Well put.

What a moron Waddle is.

Admitting to wife beating, as if it means you are passionate, the bit at the end with the phone, he looks like a tit.

Reid makes some great points.

Stein is a legend.
