Gazza_8 233 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Apologises for what, being an incompetent dick? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,825 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'd put 'apologise' in inverted commas mate... If making excuses to put a different spin on what he initially wrote about the servicemen and women attending the game the other night, then yes he 'apologised'... Not worth linking to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggordy 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Heard it on another site. It sounded like he was told to "apologise." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,825 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yeah, I think perhaps Rangers may have put the squeeze on his editor somewhat. Not strong enough for this bear... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,884 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 "And another thing ... I have to confess I am a little stunned by the fuss some Rangers people told me about last night over comments I made in yesterday’s Sunday Times about Rangers handing over 1,500 free tickets to the armed forces for tomorrow night’s Champions League game against Unirea Urziceni at Ibrox. For the record, I think it is a fine gesture by Martin Bain and Rangers to reward the soldiers in this way. It was never my intention to denigrate Bain or Rangers for this thoughtful deed. The point I was trying to make was that there are zealots at both halves of the Old Firm who pester Bain and Peter Lawwell almost weekly with their demands concerning the “cultural differences” between the two clubs. And Rangers — far more readily than Celtic, I’ll bet — would hand over tickets like this to the Army. I’m not in the habit of apologising to Rangers — it’s a bit late for that — but on this occasion I will, if I have unfairly caused offence. None was intended. But Mr Bain, in choosing to give away these tickets to Army personnel when Ibrox was going to have plenty of empty seats anyway, was simply being quite clever in my opinion." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineflyer 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Sad, bitter and twisted little scrote. This lonely scumbag is so emotionally dependent on those at parkhead for recognition and favour that he can hardly breathe in case he frightens them away. Let's hope his breakdown isn't too painful when it comes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hardly an apology. Anyone that thinks it is an apology is deluded. In fact, it could easily be construed as yet another criticism of the club ...... "And Rangers — far more readily than Celtic, I’ll bet — would hand over tickets like this to the Army." - this could easily be taken as him saying that we (Rangers) exacerbate the "cultural differences" between the two clubs Not an apology at all IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a game of tit for tat & one-upmanship between the two clubs. I think it was a great gesture by the club, but they also knew exactly what they were doing with regards to playing the game & it didn't go unnoticed on the other side of the city with their immediate announcement of donating cash to the War Child charity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
