An insane article very light on any detail or background checking on this person or his plans. No mention of the fact the board can't just give someone the club and that they would need to speak to shareholders etc.
The level of journalism here is very poor and these are the kind of stories that stick to the club for years, people remember these things. This is a massive repetitional hit for us at a time when we could really do without it. Absolutely nuts.

Wouldnt be 100% against a bit of a rebrand, but this would be much too far and seems a bit made up tbh 🤣

Shirt sponsorship by Buckfast would be the cherry on the cake

I suppose It is summer now so you’d expect the circus to come to town.

Various such approaches have been made over the years, all obviously rejected. Tragic thing is, a Coatbridge Shamrock probably would attract big but er, ‘rowdy’, crowds. What a shame Reilly doesn’t see the potential in the much-loved and proudly ecumenical Albion Rovers brand. He knows where he can shove his shamrock.

It wouldn't attract a big or rowdy crowd 🤣 they'd lose most of the fanbase we actually have and a team with Irish heritage play 10 minutes down the road in Celtic B and hardly anyone turns up and its mainly families.....honestly dont think there is anything in this story, just more clickbait from The Record to get Celtic and Rangers fans bickering in the comments

Not a chance in hell would I be going to see/support that. They do realise that someone else has already beat them to the fans wanting a bit of a sectarian day out??

No. Why not market it with a name/badge etc non Irish based then?
Likewise an equal stereotypical takeover of larkhall thistle with a union jack type badge would be done to attract a certain type. Am I wrong?

Am I wrong? Well I do agree with you, just assuming something Irish is sectarian isnt exactly true and about Larkhall Thistle.....they already attract that crowd if you've ever seen them 🤣
