After Roger Mitchell's pish yesterday and now this today, are they lining up a charitable donation to Scottish football. I wouldn't put anything past they c*nts, especially PR wise.
We've never had better time to do soPersonally I would love us to boycott them in to oblivion. Every penny to Rangers.
We must never ever forget this - even in 20 years time we have a duty to Rangers FC to ensure the younger generation know that they tried to kill our club.
Simples
They can all F*CK OFF !
I guess they’ll open a soup kitchenthey were founded for charitable reasons
Probably a myth but Bayern have signed quite a few players on pre contracts from other German teams. Lewandowski being the biggestNot that it matters in the grand scheme of things but,did'nt Bayern's financial gesture include the clause that they had first dibs on Dortmund's players?
Or,is that just a myth?
I'm sorry but facts are not welcome.Their financial support to 1860 Munich also resulted in Bayern owning the 50% share of the Allianz Arena that 1860 had.
This ends the thread discussion for me. Nothing more need be said.This phrase will stick in my head forever ' I'd rather we went bust than vote for Rangers'
Almost laughable, isn’t it.they were founded for charitable reasons
If we can find something “official” on this one, it should be sent to him.This phrase will stick in my head forever ' I'd rather we went bust than vote for Rangers'
That crossed my mind.This is satire, right?

When this is all over, the hope is we’ll look back and realise that despite the borders, the different countries, races and religions, we are all in this together.
The world’s population will remain at risk from the sort of invisible enemy that is currently having such a profound impact. It could yet prompt a philosophical response. Some are even forecasting another Summer of Love when we are all allowed out in the open again.
Is it too much to expect Scottish football might develop something approaching a sense of community? Many are proving unarguably heroic in their own communities. The Scotsman has been carrying a diary from Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy in which he has been outlining his club’s efforts in helping the vulnerable in the local area.
Others, many themselves operating on the breadline, are pulling out the stops, such as Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Individuals, too, are taking a lead, Inverness manager John Robertson among them. He slipped on some protective gloves to deliver food parcels to pensioners in isolation due to the coronavirus outbreak.
But what are clubs doing for each other? I recall receiving some flak for suggesting Celtic should help bail out Rangers back in 2012. It was, perhaps, foolishly idealistic. One or two Celtic fans got in contact pointing that out. However, it was not some hippy notion plucked out of the air. The column was written on the back of a story in Germany where it was revealed, almost ten years after the event, that Bayern Munich had provided a €2 million loan to help fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund stave off the threat of bankruptcy in 2003.
It was a critical situation for Borussia Dortmund,” Uli Hoeness, Bayern’s president, explained. “I’m a big fan of tradition in sport. I think it was the right thing to do.”
The right thing to do. Just think about that for a moment. Bayern have also helped out financially troubled 1860 Munich and St Pauli in the past.
This week, it was reported that four clubs in the Bundesliga, including Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, have pledged a solidarity payment of €20m to support other clubs struggling to stay afloat in the country because of the shutdown.
“In these difficult times, it’s important that the stronger shoulders support the weaker shoulders,” said Bayern chief executive and former star player Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
It is hoped those in charge of clubs such as Rangers and Celtic might have the good grace to feel slightly embarrassed upon reading these words having presumably already banked the cheques received from the SPFL earlier this week. There has been little from either of them or any top-flight club in Scotland regarding the greater good. Of course, they have needs too. And compared to Germany for example, there is simply not the same level of funding to hand in Scottish football.
But we must also accept there is something far wrong in our game when earlier this week our top three clubs, including third-placed Motherwell, received an early handout totalling almost £400,000 each from the SPFL. League 2 clubs’ share of the pot, meanwhile, was only £1,350. Barely enough to pay for floodlight bulbs they may be about to turn off for good.
We have nothing to feel embarrassed about after our journey back to the top it must be lost on him how much of the Blue pound was spread through the little Clubs during it,I didn't see that mob give away any of their unimpossed CL entry money or any big commercial contracts that brought because of it,we have already paid our debt to Scottish football we owe it nothing.
Nor mine in a frosty morning.I wouldn't give the rest the steam off my pish.
They certainly have had an unfair advantage over any other Club due to dealings with GCC., dealings that should also be the subject of a formal inquiry from Football authorities other than the SFA who are merely puppets of the Director of Imaginary Tours of Japan.comDrenched in cash part funded due to GCC!
Especially those due compensationWe’re told we’re skint by all these idiots, now we should be spending on others! Celtic are the club drenched in cash, they can fork out for everyone!
Allegedly true! see Hummels & Lewandowski! tho' the deal might be finished so they won't get their hands on Haaland. Quite clever really, weaken a potentially strong opponent and still look like the good guy. Surprised sneaky Pete hasn't thought of this (or did he? Dundee Hivs with Armstrong & Mackay-Steven, hmmm).Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things but,did'nt Bayern's financial gesture include the clause that they had first dibs on Dortmund's players?

Elgin cityPeople always need someone to blame for things.
It’s usually the government, sometimes but only sometimes justifiably, and now it seems it’s the football clubs.
So Bayern bailed out Dortmund. A noble gesture. Now give me another two or three examples of the same altruism elsewhere before you start wiring into my club.
Then give me a couple of clubs in Scotland that gave a flying fcuk when we landed in financial shyte.
Even when you’ve considered all that just remember that our own financial situation holds no guarantees of our fitness to come through this unscathed.
Charity begins at home.
We should never ever forget it, this prick and the rest of them that put the boot in when we were down can go and %^*& themselves. Never forgive and never forget.Remember they held the prize money from us at a time we where on the floor.
We made a £6m loss minimum year on year, no sure how were expected to be fronting anyone’s debts. Only one club with “£20m in the bank” in Scotland. They lump us in with the mentally challengeds only when it suits their narrative.From the Scotsman
