    Gotta love this place.

    You get banned for questioning a Tran***ual, but knocking fcuk out of a country and its inhabitants is fair game.

    No wonder the place has gone to siht.

    well Ricky Burns went from 1,200 at Bellahouston Sports Centre to 10k at the SECC, if a Scot is doing well the public will get behind him, so the answer is yes

    the last opponent never, mate I'd rather my fighters won there first 10-12 fights on points to be honest get the rounds in the bank and get educated at the same time, big punchers end up believing the smoke that gets blown up there **** and generally fall flat on there face

    Stephen Simmons and David Brophy who is managing these guys I haven't seen any of Brophys fights but he is simply not active enough to progress and make an impact on the middleweight scene
    Simmons who I've seen on several occasions looks a real throwback to yesteryear fighters but 11 fights in 4 years isn't doing him any favours,does he suffer from injuries or is it bad management or is he happy at the pace his career is moving

    explains it all then,there can't be much incentives for any up and coming boxers in Scotland with Morrison and Tommy Gilmour in charge of them

    Any fighter looking to go with the Morrison outfit need their head examined.

    I know, this place is bizarre, that creature Maloney is most severely sick in the head, it should be put down. People should be encouraged to rip the pish out of 'it' !
