What was the last interview Mojo had before he was paraded as Rangers new wonder boy, what was it he said?
Who was the Rangers player/manager at the time?
Why oh why did he role his shorts up like a big poof?

I'm slightly surprised that, as a Rangers fan, you don't know more about this topic. Nowadays it seems Rangers have more Catholics playing in their team than Celtic do.
Re Celtic's lack of signings, I think its more to do with the lack of affordable prospects, not arrogance. They're struggling with finding enough money in their biscuit tin to get a suitable replacement for Larsson. Unfortunately there are also rumours that MoN's wife is seriously ill, and that he might be quitting the club to look after her.

So the Tims felt betrayed and the huns were outraged that a Catholic was playing for them. Cue outrage and burning of Ibrox season tickets.

I've read that rumour on a couple of SPL team chat sites. There has been nothing in the press to my knowledge. I hope that there is no truth to it, as much as I dislike MoN I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

On the Mo Johnston saga...Souness said he was actually determined to sign a catholic for Rangers after listening to the tripe from board members/share holders and general arseholes talking sectarian crap throught the club. He later signed for Hearts and received similar hostility...not because he was catholic, but because he was just shite.

2. Bath is a league team... ? No. Colchester...? No... Bristol !
3. There is a concensus going around that the phrase should now be changed to: "Do bears shit in the Elland Road ?"
4. Sponsorship ? Were they sponsored by Orange (the moble phone company) Or was it Outspan...?
Some footie news:
Jimmy Floyd has gone from Chelski to Boro.
Gazza is in talks with Boston United.
El Tel is going back to Oz.
Peter Taylor is going back to run the E U21's, but staying at Hull (and back) at the same time.
Hoddle is NOT in the running for the France job.

My mate reliably informs me it's cos Paul Sturrock is a Dundee United lad, but when he left for Southampton, out went the Orange shirts.
