CammyF 7,600 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 SKY Sports Spanish journalist Graham Hunter has just been on giving reaction to todayââ?¬â?¢s CL draw and was asked what Barca think of being in the same group as Rangers. After talking about ââ?¬Ë?ticket scrambleââ?¬â?¢ etc he stated that Puyol, Barcaââ?¬â?¢s captain stated that Rangers were a ââ?¬Ë?mythical clubââ?¬â?¢ (think something got lost in translation there) and that Rangers were still revered by the Catalans for giving Francoââ?¬â?¢s Fascist Police ââ?¬Ë?a doingââ?¬â?¢ after being ââ?¬Ë?wrongly set uponââ?¬â?¢. That admission (not to say praise!) from Barcaââ?¬â?¢s captain certainly flies in the face of the eternal lies we have been fed by the TWATS (Tims With Typewriters). They have been telling anyone whoââ?¬â?¢ll listen to them since that we went over there raped, pillaged and in one cretins case, ransacked a Chapel. It is also worth noting that after UEFA had decided to ban us from Europe, we received an invitation to be part of the Juan Gampar tournament in 1974 ââ?¬â?? IIRC this was to celebrate Barcaââ?¬â?¢s 75th anniversary. I wonder if any of the unbiased Scottish press will run with Puyolââ?¬â?¢s kind and sincere words tomorrow? And I hope Graham Hunterââ?¬â?¢s house insurance is up to date. Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
