I take it that you're relatively local mate? As I posted earlier, I've known several bluenoses from Shettleston in my time.
Surely it’s Glasgow rhyming slang for mentally challengeds. We don’t need to borrow from the cockenees as we have our very rhyming slang. Eg:It's nothing to do with the religious demographic of the area. "Shettlestons" comes from "Shettleston Harriers" who are one of the oldest and most successful athletics clubs in the country.

Hamilton Accie.
The last one not very PC but the rest are perfectly acceptable in polite society.
Is it %^*& mate Shettleston harrier-mentally challenged.I'm curious. Is Shettleston a bluenose-free zone these days? Somebody needs to enlighten me.
I hope you enjoyed your Tom Kite.But when we say the last one. It's a shorterened version of their country of origin. The PC brigade have fcked the rest of us with all this bollocks. It's a term of endearment rather than anything else racial etc.
Ie I'm going for a Skinny Malinky lol.
Quite the opposite, biles ma peesh that term as a resident of the area.I'm curious. Is Shettleston a bluenose-free zone these days? Somebody needs to enlighten me.
The media have spent nearly a decade pushing a particular narrative and taking a moral higher ground. They're not going to change. They will look to discredit The Times report and come up with reasons why we remain "guilty".
Aye "it's all about the Rangers"Mate, they simply do not understand facts. These are the same fans that refuse to not only discuss but acknowledge their rabid clubs paedophile history. "they're died" is one of their catchphrases amongst the rest of them that make no sense. They're hatred of Rangers has literally eclipsed their own support for their filthy club.
Whilst the article contains the usual snide remarks we expect from this Rangers hating rsole (he even gets the obligatory facer painter mention in), I think it is in the main informative for those of us whose memory is ravaged by age and alcohol.They’ve already started via Douglas Fraser

The fact that this level of debt is manageable for a massive football club employing many international footballers obviously escapes your tiny mind. This was an orchestrated attempt to end our clubThe problem now is that we already have folk on here creating a new narrative around this £20m figure as if it was firstly gospel and secondly a piffling amount.
When you add the £18m debt we owed to Lloyd’s at the time, we still had a pretty significant financial millstone around our necks and it isn’t by any means certain that the bank or Murray would have acted any differently when faced with that lesser amount.
I think some are in danger of getting carried away here as if we’ve just been told the whole thing was a huge mistake and we don’t owe a penny.

He did indeed, I remember him saying to a caller, pay the 140 million and you can keep your trophies, he denied saying this , wish someone had recorded itMy memory might be playing tricks on me but I am convinced Keevins quoted £140m at one time .
The £18m was serviceable debt and due to our success in 3 years was massively down from what we had. 2 champions league qualifications would have taken this under 10 million easily. Now when HMRC finalise the figures we will see what the tax bill could have been and anything like the figures quoted then a deal could easily have been done to pay this back, in fact over a period of the 6 years this has been going on, selling a couple of decent players (something we were good at) would cover this. Now the story is and always will be why HMRC pursued us so vigorously and banded around crazy figures that clearly spooked Lloyd's Bank to force a sale before they lost their money? The negative press and scaremongering definitely had an effect on scaring off investors and if HMRC are willing to be sensible about this now someone needs to ask why not then?The problem now is that we already have folk on here creating a new narrative around this £20m figure as if it was firstly gospel and secondly a piffling amount.

Complete bollocks. We were a club who had reduced our debt from around £32m to £18m in the space of two-three years. During that period we had success both on and off the park. We were cutting costs, reducing debt, but also being successful on the pitch.
We were playing regular European football and had a squad packed with international footballers worth a lot of money. The likes of Davis, McGregor, Whittaker, Naismith and Jelavic would all have commanded good fees. There is absolutely no way liquidation would have happened if it was only a £20m tax bill hanging over our heads.
It's also important to remember part of the reason Lloyds were putting us under so much pressure to reduce our debt was because we had a potential huge tax bill hanging over us.

They are brainwashed into believing it some of them actually think its true, same as the paedo ring their brains don't register that as being vile, despicable, and criminal.Just caught the end of STV news and they where interviewing folk in st enoch square and they had to find some bead rattler saying the club died and wee haven't a pot to piss in, why can't these fcukers get it the law, the SFA and the heads of footballs governing bodies say it's the same club really pisses me off
