Well Ive now cancelled my Sky and
ESPN asI refuse to pay to watch 3rd
div scottish football. kl

You starting a boycott?

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water comes to mind.

What a plum! So you don't want to watch champions league and the odd spl game, when tickets are not available

Done the exact same months ago. ive got a season ticket and go to all home games and some away games. games i dont go to i stream online.
personally i'd like to see celtic go down the same route as italian teams and organise their own tv rights. theres sooooo much more money involved that way.
frankiebhoy

Just watch streams on the internet and dont give them any money

Sky was a big part of the pressure to get brand new sevco directly into SPL.
They need to know that the vast majority of their fee paying viewers are not Sevconians. I stopped buying the DR, the s*n and sky ages ago. I've improved myself with better newspapers.

I agree the sly tv do nothing for the Celtic support our games are all arranged at anti football supporters times especially for travel arrangements and it obvious to us who they think is their biggest custom, don't think we should abandon or boycote them the other channels are no better but the message should be sent to them making our feelings know I think they are certainly anti Celtic

Are you lot f*cking serious? they are anti celtic? more like you lot are paranoid.

Who cares what your opinion is though BigBear. Go back to your own page, that's what you lot tell anyone on there who disagrees with The Yorkshire pudding, so practise what you preach. With Jim Whyte's mush on a website greeting when your team died how can you not understand Celtic fans thinking its Anti Celtic. Although I think Pro Rangers is more appropriate than Anti Celtic. To us it's one and the same though.

Jim Whyte was plastered all over the Scottish press years ago, copies at a public library near you, in orange order uniform and flute.
So previously a religious bigot. Now not? Or just not so open about it?

@10 - What a balloon! The orange regalia was used on a previous comedy/ football programme aired weekly on STV. If you do your research you'll also see that Tommy Burns adorned the same regalia on the same show for a laugh.... {Ed007's Note - I think you are getting mixed up a bit.}

Oooooooh yes i forgot Jim White runs sky doesnt he... pointless statement by 9

just read yesterday's DR ( I know I should stop itr!) and that bampot Hateley's at it again, "he's backed up pretty much everything he declared he would". FFS, where do we start.......Stevo Dundee

Yip he got the club sold for £22m, where's the money? Where's the ST money? New Rangers won't see much of it, McCoist can forget it.

I only seen the second half of the game today bhoys as i was feeding the new bairn while his mother caught a nap but i could see we were badly missing Mulgrew! His delivery from free kicks, corners and crosses from wide left are invaluable to us. He is also a threat at corners and starts play well from the back or from deep on the left. We need stokesy back to take the weight of scoring off Hooper as you know as well as me we cannot count on big Sammy to start being prolific, even though the big guy has had a good season so far. All in all a very disappointing result and performance today. Never seen Wanyama play so many poor passes, and he wasn't even one of the worst performers today.

wee mcginn got another 3 for aberdeen today. think thats him on 14/15

Well done to the lad ... Would be difficult to see where he would have got any sort of a run at Celtic ... The move from CP was for the best for both him and the club ...TTTS

And they said our league needed sevco to be competitive....

Few things I've noticed watching Glasgows newest derby . 1) Isn't the cameraman doing wonders not showing the traditional Celtic end and the enclosure facing the main stand especially when it's a sell out and new world record for an away support . 2) Willie Collum is one of the worst refs to ever grace (ha) a football park . 3) The standard of football is shocking when you consider highly paid pros playing guys that are joiners and window cleaners . 4) McCulloch is still a cheating ba@@@@d...........DH

Shameless they are. Was looking for something to watch and caught the last half hour. Such fun. I only know mcullich so I don't know who it was who dived and got qp player sent off. No wonder they are not going to dufc. Green looks a bit like general Custer.
Absolute rubbish. Won't be watching any of that again.

Scotland's oldest club, sporting amateurs reduced to ten men. Versus second most expensive team in Scotland. With an SFA referee who should be officiating SPL games, what's he doing in fourth tier? New Rangers fortunes in div3 only changed 10 games ago when they started getting SPL referees for some unknown reason. Doesn't this strange anomaly make div3 unbalanced and an unequal sporting competition?

New Rangers new world record in playing ten men amateur teams.

It is the only way the authorities can guarantee sevco get through the divisions, making sure they win game by hook or by crook.

It's on STV NOW:
Sandaza, who joined Rangers in August, said: "Am I a Catholic? I'm not talking about that. Is it strange to play for a Protestant club? That is not something football should be concerned about.

"But on my first day I was advised not to cross myself before matches.

However, Rangers are adamant the club had no influence on Sandaza's decision not to display his religious beliefs.

An Ibrox source told Record Sport last night: "It has never been the club's policy to advise players on this type of thing and it never will be."

The Rangers are officially calling Sandaza a liar. As the old club called anyone for 110 years that they didn't have a policy of not signing a catholic, when we know now they did.

If the press do not push to expose who "advised" Sandaza then they are as culpable as the "advisor" Given the Scottish governments hard line on sectarianism( we all remember the league cup final v rangers when the chants, for 90 minutes from them, were truly shocking only for McAskill and Salmond to PRAISE fans) they also have to confront this to regain any credibility.The fact that The rangers have denied this means they are calling Sandaza a liar. McCoist is famous for his transparency speeches so how about it ally? Or are your club willing to put up with; A;A player making up stories about sectarian behaviour for no reason any sensible person could think of, or B; A bigot who still seems to think this NEW CLUB can prosper as the sectarian riddled club it was.I noticed the papers have went quiet on this already, some things change unfortunately not the press in the "greatest wee country in the world" A true disgrace............green jhedi

It is astonishing that this shameful business has been condoned and encouraged by both Football Authorities and Scots Government.
In England; Racism in sport is openly condemned (quite rightly) and the perpetrators are punished and shamed and legislation is fully enforced.
Sectarianism and Bigotry is not only tolerated, but is unashamedly accepted as the norm in this Nation, which hopes to be independent and respected by all??

If green sold all the bullsh1t that comes out of the debtdrome as fertiliser they'd have more money than mufc.

Greatest wee country in the world.
Before North Korea.
I've said it before and i'll say it again; the Media are driving the getaway car. It could not happen without them. pea

I quite like this bit......

An Ibrox source told Record Sport last night: "It has never been the club's policy to advise players on this type of thing and it never will be."

It shows that the club are in fact, as we all know, a brand new entity. Why would a club that had an openly sectarian signing policy for 120 years say this?
