26th of foot

1. The sound of the clumping fist of Dermot slamming down in Panama? 2. Season ticket renewals being issued next week? 3. Peter Lawwell shooting his appointment before Ronnie points his finger? 4. A sewerage of Declans in the car park(sorry, GCC funded Sellik Way) this coming Sunday? 5. All of the above? You decide?

Frankie, I am basing my comments in the aftermath of last year's League Cup semi-final. Remember, the Green Brigade had quite an elaborate display? The coffin banner, the four horsemen, Rangers date of founding, culminating in 'Huns RIP'. At half time, they lit 30 green flares and unveiled another banner depicting, 'the monkeys are deid' and, 'Huns RIP'. We were told then about the need for both Fire Officer and Match Commander rep' to okay banners before display. It came out this had occurred the night before, a couple of dozen members of the GB had been allowed into Hampden the evening before, to prepare both displays. There was an attempt to do Rangers for the supports songs last year, it fizzled out quickly because of the GB's time to prepare revelations. The Lord Advocate let it be known, one of the sources was Cosgrove on BBC Scotland, that he was NOT interested in pursuing anyone on the useage of the H term. Further, last week, Cosgrove was banging on about missing something because he was working for the Scottish Government. He stated he was attending an all day seminar at Hampden on Hate Crime. Combine this with the lunches he has had with the Lord Advocate, and I suspect our club and support have trouble brewing.

As I understand it, a banner must be presented to both the Fire Officer and Match Commander(or their respective reps') before being allowed access to the ground. What do the Lord Advocate and Justice Minister say reference that banner?

Neil Cameron is Yahoo supporting journo. He came through the Record some 15 years past, the last couple of years has seen him join Alison McConnell at ra Herald/Evening Times. Of course, one bitter Yahoo of a journo will reach for the well worn comfort blanket of Rangers supporters singing, in the wake of a Sellik defeat. Usually, it's Alison, Chris McLaughlin, Andrew H Smith, ....... etc that thumb that particular blanket. It must be Cameron's turn to be het. Interestingly, his nick name in the press box is, 'Spook'. A dozen years ago, he had taken his car containing his bird into a grave yard late at night for some nocturnal gymnastics. The Polis caught him and his colleagues drew the correlation with the market company, 'Spook Erection'.

No doubt, Forrester has skill and quick feet. He has an eye for a pass and has a decent dig that has seen a few important goals scored. Further, there has been a few impressive performances. There is a but, I suspect getting and keeping him fit might be a problem. I know he did not see much action at Doncaster, I hope a full pre-season resolves my concerns?

Reference Killie. I attended the Scottish Cup replay at Rugby Park(along with 11,000 fellow Bears) because Michael Johnson decided to abstain. I attended despite the Killie Trust apologising to the rest of Scottish football because their Chairman took the correct action. I did NOT attend Tynecastle, Easter Road, Tannadice, St Mirren Park, of Fir Park etc these last four seasons. I will NOT attend any of the other clubs that passed responsibility to their fans, knowing the result.

Do Drybrough Cup, Tennents-Caledonian Cup, Glasgow Cup, and Super Cup finals count?

Well, Peter's go to megaphone, Paul Brennan of Sellik Quick News, has spoken, 'Dermot Desmond is not Celtic'. If the 29.9% majority shareholder of ra Sellik, Mr Desmond is NOT sellik, then I'll eat my Panama Hat!

A fellow anorak tells me that Thomson has red carded 7 Rangers players in 44 games, and issued nine of the same colour to ra Yahoos in 77 matches.

He sent off Kevin Thomson at Tynecastle. Didn't he send off Wilson and Thomson at Hampden in the League Cup final against St Mirren?

Despite the efforts of the local masonic referees.

When MON arrived at ra Stydome, Sellik devised a media strategy to ensure he had the time and space to effect change. Wee Poison Pen Phil and Kevin McCara were tasked to get around all those in both print and broadcast media sympatheitic(Sellik Minded) and ensure a disciplined approach. Remember MON's constant mantra about Rangers being the benchmark? Expectations were managed, ra Sellik the vicTims against the establishment, and their favourites, Rangers. The only mistake they made was at the end of the season, ra Sellik acknowledged the value and usefulness of the Tim media raft by hosting a slap up boozy lunch at One Devonshire Gardens(Hotel du Vin). They rewarded them for providing what was demanded, and paid willingly. It was accepted that eighteen journos benefited, all the usual suspects, including Spiers. Of course, he was the one that let it out the bag, he is a garrulous drunk. Should our club cultivate a similar raft of opinion?

After McCann rescued ra Sellik, he set about formalising their media profile. He wanted all ra Sellik minded inside the tent pissing out, including Matt McGlone of the Alternative View. He was rewarded with a column in ra Sellik View for the next five years. The Murricane family, heavily involved with Radio Snyde's head honcho, Jimmy Gordon; began organising Sellik TV, and Joe Sullivan took over as Editor of ra Sellik programme. An overseer was needed to tie the various media sections together, step forward old Aloysiusian, Phil Gordon. Poison Pen Phil had been spitting venom at all things Rangers for a decade or more, began at the Evening Times, moved up to the Herald, appeared regularly on STV, .............................. arrived at ra Sellik for a couple of years, moved to the Times, various Sunday broadsheets, ............................. has been freelance the last decade. There is some serious competition for uber hater status, Phil challenges fiercely, year in, year out.

I believe BBC Scotland's Chief Reporter, Chris McLaughlin's match report on the replay began, 'Glasgow University's Professor of Surgery was arrested for alleged sectarian behaviour, George B McLeod is known to regularly wade in blood up to his knees'.

You were howling when you named your daughter, 'Moon unit'.

Peter will tell Neil how to run said pie stall, just like he's told Neil to make a patronising interview in light of last night's result. I am sure Peter has told Stewart to do something similar.

I wonder if host, Stephen Nolan is deliberately annoying Hugh Jordan by introducing him as a Sellik fan? Hugh Jordan is a long term journo at the republican rag, the Sunday World. Hugh Jordan is an anagram for rancid bigot. His nephew is Thomas Jordan, several years as a Rangers hating journo on the Glasgow Evening Times. I note across the various articles and broadcasts, there has been a common theme, 'CONTRITION'. Jum Spence loved that word, demanded it of both club and support.

Louise White is today's useful idiot. The Producer decides who appears, both live and social media contributions.

I note the usual suspects have taken control of the Rangers 'return' to the top flight. Andrew H Smith in the Scotsman, and Falls Road born'n'bred Gerry Braiden in the Herald.

I imagine it will be first up after the nine O'Clock news. Of course, the deciding factor is when the usual suspects can get together to agree the line. The last time they did a general discussion on Rangers, they invited Angela Haggerty on to provide the main objective thrust.

I thought we were too narrow last evening. Continually, we got it wide and our wide players cut back in and recycled. When we did hit the bye-line, the ball across had the Son's back line toiling. Our goal came from hitting the bye-line. I thought Billy King was man of the match, I hope we can keep him.

Andrew H Smith, former Editor of ra Sellik News. I suspect Andrew is now a cockney, he has dropped his 'H'.

The mid morning Kaye Adams show, currently being hosted by Louise White will discuss Rangers return to Scotland's top tier of football. Today, between 9am and noon, the opening question is, 'are we welcome'? I wonder if Chris McLaughlin will be involved? I suspect the Producer has issued the order, 'round up the usual suspects'? Careful now with that careful hate.

Original post from myself relates to the Village Hotel. Perhaps, a group of Bears could instigate pre-match hospitality to annoy Mr Small and the rest of Pacific Quay CSC?

I believe Dutch ace, Derk Boerrigter takes a third of that £26million. He cost £3million from Ajax some three seasons past, a work in progress I hear?
