Anyone listen to the Clyde 1 football phone-in?

For years I've wondered what Hugh Keevins' agenda is. My perception of Hugh isn't exactly complimentary, so I'll refrain from divulging, however, why does he behave so appallingly bad over the airwaves?

Can't he see that his manner across the airwaves is confrontational or is this a ploy to keep listeners tuned in? This is my theory, or is he just miserable? lol

Miko {Ed007's Note - It is his character to keep listeners and wind people up to get them calling in. He isn't as bad as that in real life.}

That's what I thought Ed, he's playin a dangerous game though!

Miko {Ed007's Note - I gave up listening to it ages ago. I can't understand why CFC fans continue to phone in, or Rangers fans for that matter. If they stopped phoning in there would be no show. As long as fans keep biting though they are doing their job well, that is all it is to them a job, so they need callers to keep their job.}

You lot were a disgrace on the radio tonight, Keevins was right to say what he said.

Celtic fans that think that Celtic would be better off without gers are so thick - the s*y contract is based on the old firm both being in the league! Also, I'm a gers fan and tbh I only pay my season book so I am guaranteed a Celtic ticket! It's the best game in Scotland and what we all want to see, you season ticket sales would half with no OF match! {Ed007's Note - Another person that has seen the contract with S*y I take it? Do you have a copy you can send me because it seems every Rangers fan got sent a copy of it? How can a TV company demand what teams are in a league? Think about it.}

Like you, i think everyone has issues with keevins. he sounds like a real t**t on the radio, and looks like he's always wanting to stir it up

but....i saw him speak at a sportsmans dinner in the celtic club in irvine, and he was fantastic, totally different from what you get on clyde. in fact, he got a standing ovasion when he was done {Ed007's Note - Exactly. He is a caricature of himself on the radio.}

Aye, exactly! What if Rangers get relegated, can S*y terminate the contract on that basis? Answer me that bluenose!

....oh, and it's not "our lot" that's referred to as Scotland's Shame! lol

Miko

I would love a statement from celtic re the rangers/tv deal situation stating we would not agree to automatic re-entry to spl if they go into liquidation(fingers crossed).keevins slating celtic fans for wishing this is out of order(we all remember the hearse hugh)what clubs fans wouldnt love to see their biggest rivals de-funct n having to start again.its called "schadenfreude" wonder if he is familiar with the term.green jjhedi {Ed007's Note - Expect a mass of Googling for that one!!!!}

To the Rangers fan who only buys a ticket so he can go to the two Celtic games. Give up your ticket mate (cost £500). Just buy two hospitality packages for the Celtic games at £125 each and save youself £250.

Just as I thought, he's an imposter, a fake!

It's one thing to stimulate debate, however to do so by masquerading with several faces is dishonest and sullies his profession as a journalist.

One of these days some moron with no sense will banjo the old crooner! lol

Miko x

Got it, that's a belter GJ!

Schadenfreude (German:) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

Miko x {Ed007's Note -

There are things such as "conditions" to a contract. SKY have stated that bpoth OF teams must be in the SPL or they will review the contract - this is the only reason they pay so I seriously doubt they will offer anywhere near the £80m it is now. Without the Old Firm derby Scottish football will die.

Anyway, if you dont want to let Gers back as a new club then fine, we will be back in a few years pumping uz as we have always done as the most sucessful team in Scotland.

WATP
J {Ed007's Note - Where have S*y stated this? The details of the contract have never been released and remember Rangers fans don't believe what it says in the press unless it suits their own ideas. Warchest? Wealth off the radar? Frontloading? They were all made up stories as well, weren't they? Just like the details of the S*y deal that nobody has seen. I was told that part of the deal was that Rangers had to guarantee their long term financial stability, now that could be a nasty lawsuit if Rangers break the contract with S*y.}

Jesus Ed, that sounds pretty good! Doubt you'll hear from that walloper again - Job Done!

Miko x {Ed007's Note - If S*y demanded that both clubs need to be in the SPL or they want four derby matches a season it is tantamount to match rigging. How can you guarantee that you will have four derby matches when the league splits? I know it is hard to imagine but there is always a possibility that one of the teams could finish in the bottom six. Complete nonsense IMO. We won't be hearing from him for a while anyway, he is on an imposed sabbatical for breaking site rules in another post he sent in.}

As I've always maintained, Rankers will not go down, nor would I want that. It seems to me that all the bluenoses are paranoid in this respect, we welcome a weaker Rangers over the next decade, for obvious reasons, no more than that.

Bragging rights and league winners for the next decade would be nice for us. No more Old Firm games is unthinkable!

Miko x {Ed007's Note - I have said all along that administration is a distinct possibility, I don't think liquidation will ever happen.}

I'd go a step further big cheese and say that administration is almost inevitable! Anyways, bedtime for bonzo! Laters Ed!

Miko {Ed007's Note - Night Miko. Keep it mental mate!}

Your right ed,no chance of liquidation its admin all the way.the letters to the players exempting them from future payments is the smoking gun! bain n the previous knew this so you must assume whyte did too.so why buy them? said before ellis n betts lurking in the shadows are property developers(G51 maybie?) so that might be a clue, green jhedi {Ed007's Note - Part of the takeover agreement was Whyte taking over responsibility for the 'wee tax case', he has now appealed this as well which is very strange.}

Yeah I listen.

As for Keevins he's a condescending p---k but nonetheless is entertaining and does it just for a wind-up most of the time.

At least 1 call in 3 or 4 is made by a knuckledragger taking the bait or calling up with something utterly ridiculous to say...can't really blame the guy for giving off.

The thing I hate most about Keevins though is his poor judgement in general. First off he makes statements that he almost states as fact and people that disagree are shot down, often without a chance to explain (yet uses the "just my/your opinion" card excessively). Second, from an entertainment perspective, he often lets people drag on and on with irrelevent drivel before making their (often crap) point while others he jumps on almost immediately. I wish he was better at spotting the ones with added on drivel and shoot them down just to stop them wasting everyone's time. Being sad enough to call the show 3/6 nights shouldn't excuse them from a bit of ear-d--k from Keevins.

aint it funny how the press fall over themselves to let us know that rangers have two players on trail today yet failed to mention the whole club was on trial in edinburgh

16 Jan 2012 17:49:22
ed .. i know this might be a touchy subject but .. if they lose the tax case to hmrc would the police or the proculator fiscal not be seeking to press charges on tax evaison? {Ed007's Note - Tax avoidance is legal (although HMRC still get their money), tax evasion is illegal. They are two different accusations. Until the findings of the hearing it is not known which category they will fall into, some say they may have 'smudged' the line between the two.}

Aviod/evade whats the difference ed
both mean the same thing do they not lol {Ed007's Note - If they were the same I wouldn't have pointed out that they are different in legal terminology would I?}

16 Jan 2012 17:45:43
hello ed. In some of the French newspapers supposedly PSG are interested in signing Gary Hooper and wouldn't offer money just a player named Javier Pastore. {Ed007's Note - What's the weather like on your planet?}

Pastore was bought for £30 odd million in the summer. So stop making up useless comments so they can get onto the banter page.

Was watching the Freddie Flintoff programme about depression in sport today whilst I was on a break at college and I noticed Lennon said if one of his players were to come to him with it he'd tell them to take as much time as they needed off. Don't know about you but maybe this explains the Commons situation? Just a thought. Hope not, it's a sad state for anybody to get in but it could explain alot of things?

Greg {Ed007's Note - I don't think we should speculate over someone's mental health Greg.}

As a Psychiatric Nurse i have to agree with Ed, Lennon has came out and openly discussed his battle with depression.

Lennon appreciates how difficult it is to get up in the morning never mind play football. Depression is something that affects millions in this country, and many are stigmatised for suffering from it.

I also congratulate the BBC for bringing up this topic.

To be fair Greg, Commons form could have been affected by his mood, but if it were down to his mental health Lenny wouldn't have spoken as much about it.

DazzaBhoy

Exacyly Ed, making comments like this is unhelpfull.

I dont get the impression Kris is like that, i think he has delusions of grandeur

Iv been saying to my wee bhoy for a while now that the one guy that we don't have any back up for and the guy that gives us that spark in the last third is James forrest. I think NL admitted that we missed him against united. I honestly don't think we need a cb now, the defence has changed my mind with there performances, we also have options and backup in the striker department. If we are going to invest this window, i think it needs to be a creative midfield player. What if forrest gets a bad injury? We will struggle I think. And please don't say paddy, he's not consistent enough. Markiebhoy.

Who was it John fleck was compared to? Was it gazza? Well the big prodige is going to Blackpool! Away to work on the beach with the rest of the donkeys! Hee haw!


Wullie

Scotland's Wayne rooney he was meant to be.

Paddy

Aye cos the last player we sent out on loan there turned out to be a complete failure eh ? C*****e A**m anyone ...? didnae think that one thro afore letting ur fingers clump over that keyboard !

Fleck has done himself no favours at ibrox but i can promise u he has potential to be a very decent player.

Adam didn't go on loan! He was sold after the "fans" hounded him out!

You should maybe think before YOU let "ur fingers clump over that keyboard !"

DazzaBhoy {Ed007's Note - He had loans at Ross County, St Mirren and Blackpool before they bought him for 500K.}

Ok Gents, with Rangers FTT(T) reconvening today I have some prices on the potential outcomes. Any takers?

Administration - 1/10

Liquidation - Evens

Rangers to win the tax case - Infinity/1

Lets not be overconfident bhoys.the tentacles of mordor stretch far and wide.a friendly judge with a penchant for strange handshakes could scupper the whole laughfest that is "them" green jhedi.

Lol ! Infinity to 1 lol like that

Win it or lose it they will need to pay something of some sort. Hmrc don't mess about anyone who's self employed wi tell you that. How much tho is another story. Remember hmrc have more power than anyone, they have access to ALL of rangers accounts so even if whyte claims he can't pay X million they will have his bank details in front of them & they will tell him how much & how long for. If they find out this month then jelavic will be off for a undisclosed fee.

The truth is only round the corner although the courts do have a habit of stringing things out, jury duty will show you that lol

Lenny {Ed007's Note - I would be surprised if the final outcome is truly known before March at the earliest.}

I'll stick a pound on Rangers to win! If it comes in, I'll buy the club, sell on all assets at a premium and replace the whole squad with players from the Northern Irish League.

Then I'd sell the stadium naming rights to Armitage Shanks for 50p! The company may want to negotiate that rather over inflated price, however I would probably be open to that.

Murray Park, I'd donate to the Celtic Trust as a gesture of goodwill.

Then, I'd have the Pope bless the stadium to evict all demons within the structure. The Ibrox area would be regenerated, property prices would soar and there would be no oppression!

Minted! lol

Miko x {Ed007's Note - You've thought this out Miko haven't you lol.}

Miko, Lenny I just walked past Ibrox, and could not believe how QUIET it was, then I realised it was because all connected with Rangers were
HOLDING THEIR BREATHS ha ha Timalloy

Not even the sound of squeaky bums?

Imagine you had all that disposable income Ed? That's how twisted I am, I'd rather invest it in screwing up the Gers than invest in my own team.

In fact I've just realised, I need therapy! lol

Was there tumbleweed Tim? lol

Miko x

Here ed ma tentikles ur muder tae its nae fun dae ye no anywan who cood help ed
this isnae wee pat in any shape ur forum rite ed

Well ed if they want to hold out to March I wouldn't mind hearing the good news on the 17th March PADDYs Day. It would be a weekend to remember. Heres to the Hmrc. Haha Bigirishmac.

There never winning the tax case, the Whyte Knight has already said as much

"Should the verdict go against Rangers, it appears as if new owner Whyte will have no option but to put the club into administration, with the Motherwell-born businessman already having admitted: 'It is one of the possibilities we've looked at, yes"
