    Blueflag, Will the maintenance be completed by Thursday/Friday? Just a heads-up for posting the Rangers/Hearts preview. If you are intent upon utilising bigger hammers and lending leverage to spanners later in the week; here's the précised preview, 'we're getting pumped'.

    Zappa, I know I did the match preview for the opening league game of the season against Hearts. I would be happy to do the upcoming 16th January home fixture too, if you are comfortable?

    Yesterday, I was having a discussion with a couple of mates, Dumbarton had just scored and another cross into our box had been poorly defended. "Big Jig is well done", opined mate seated to my left; "the Yahoos will exploit him time and again on the 1st of February", chimes mate seated to my right. Conclusion is we need fresh investment, to resolve another most urgent issue. Where does the cash come from? Dearest David has informed us that the monies from the sale of Lewis MacLeod are to be utilised immediately as working capital. Lee Wallace's body language suggested he might be next to be sold. Mate seated to my left suggested David save the opportunity cost of sending desperate e-mails at 04.00hrs on Boxing Day, "better selling his arse in the leather bars of Brighton". I don't think the purveyor of wet fishery has much of a future in rough trade? Thus, Kyle Hutton's boots seem the best bet. They look to be size 15/16? I suspect several hundred Syrians would be willing to cough up several hundred pounds each to sail to Italy on Kyle's footwear. I note the abandoned freighter in the Med' on Thursday, realise £3million to the disappearing Skipper and crew. There you go, drive your Bentley to coastal Syria and resolve our central defensive problems. Please note David, before you conclude this to be a ridiculous idea; well, you started it. Now, fuck off!

    I have noted in the last few hours, that Phil McStupidnames, Ms Haggerty, and Brian McNally have all seen fit to comment on share action at Rangers. Combined with Chris McLaughlin NOT receiving the required answers from Doncaster and Jum Spence presenting several Sports Bulletins in a row this afternoon on BBC Radio Scotland and leading with MacLeod's transfer cash going straight to the role of working capital ....................... There will be NO positives today for Bears. Funny that, I am increasingly filled with a sense of immense well-being. Get it right up the lot of you.

    Are Chris and Connie McLaughlin the same family? Do they keep each others' company? Has Chris ensured Connie is in the club? Club and company, people have extreme views on this!

    I watched the Hibs game on a mate's telly and there was ONE redeeming feature in McDowall's managerial debut; he immediately substituted Black after his shocking excuse for a tackle. An acorn of discipline?

    David Somers appeared at last year's AGM and did NOT impress, his lack of awareness mirrored Bilel Mohsni's on the pitch. This last week, staff such as Tiny Gallagher have been let go and Christmas cancelled; whilst the Chairman is pictured receiving the keys to his Bentley. Clearly, he continues to be anxious to flash those initial credentials. This year's AGM appears to be an exercise in the concentration of minds. The carousel continues to turn, just.

    Craigie has missed the Panto season, his Agent should ensure a summer season at Butlins.

    Poor Norman, he has hung on to the Rangers carousel this past year. He did not pay to get on; of course, we'll have to pay him to get off. Ears ringing with constant Wurlitzer refrains, endless circles, and imbued with a rare insight provided by bobbing hobby horses; offer Norman the manager's position, immediately!

    Having read the Dundee United statement, my ghast is truly flabbered. Interesting, they band on about young players' mobility and choosing club contracts carefully. This millennium, Dundee United were still insisting 16 year olds sign NINE year contracts.

    Apparently, Stephen Thompson is in a state of seethe. A Solicitor friend in Dundee suggested that Jum Spence(the former Law lecturer) advised Thompson to plough the two year existence furrow. Sad really, as Zappa says, such potential for a paltry sum. The Satsumas will sell Telfer for several times that amount, in 18 months. Wee Jum Spence will once again have to sit naked, on Thompson's lap and feed him peeled grapes.

    I suspect the 14,500 that trapped at Ibrox yesterday(myself included) were part of the biggest crowd of the fourth round of the Scottish Cup? As mentioned in the Preview of yesterday's game, I also attended Ibrox 40 years past for the 4th round tie against Dundee. Sixty-five thousand watched us being pumped 0-3.

    I read this the other day with a sense of disbelief and wonderment. Sellik always take control of the awkward and inconvenient problems by ensuring an overseeing organisation is proposed by proxy. They have a few placemen and a couple of useful idiots are the controlling personnel, and the problem is managed. The Editor of the Daily Record Alan Rennie has got into bed with ra Sellik, reference the match programme and ra Sellik View. I can only assume he was off the day Colin Duncan penned this piece. Further, Colin Duncan might find a career change is imminent, he has officially become awkward and inconvenient. Remember El Hadji Diouf's racial abuse at ra Stydome? Lots of complaints to FARE and nothing was done, other than Powar's decision to hand all the names and addresses of the complainants to Peter Lawwell, for him to contact them with sneering correspondence.

    Sincerely, I hope extradition proceedings are lengthy. The thought of wee Craigy languishing in a Mexican jail fills me with immense well being. Every Paco and Pepe sharing Whyte's de-Keynesian cell, should be encouraged to utilise Tabasco as a lubricant. I suggest a celebration this coming Sunday, let's have a continuous Mexican Wave?

    Since Saturday, we have endured Walter, Kris, Lee, and John Brown rushing to print in an attempt to circle the wagons. The wheels are off all the wagons, Ally insisted on picking the wrong wheels and placing others out of position.

    Truthfully, there is a fair number with this particular experience. We highlight the various presenters that are up for it, but they only broadcast the sneering, triumphalist, and provocative content when they have the surety of a Producers backing. Remember Richard Gordon's behaviour on, 'Through the Window' 8-9 years back? The show broadcast for an hour past midnight, after the transfer window closed. He flagged up a received e-mail, but declared he would only read it out after Producer approval. This teasing continued for over an hour, or until they located the appropriate Senior Producer. After a build-up, Richard read, "Edinburgh Zoo have accepted the transfer of Rangers player, Filip Sebo, they plan to exhibit him". The usual suspects all laughed like drains on cue. In the weeks that followed, we could not ascertain who penned/sent said e-mail. Clearly, it was a pre-planned wheeze; it was what they thought they could get away with. Radio Two's Controller resigned at the height of 'Producers contributing to their own shows' scandal. Several other senior management types and producers fell on their collective swords too; however, BBC Scotland declared itself free of such behaviour.

    Looks like Peter has prodded Stewart.

    All together now : We are the Loyal the Pokey-hat loyal Stars and crescent moons adorn Made from silver foil. I wonder if Bill is open to the idea of tented revival meetings, healing the sick, and converting the unwashed?

    Apparently, all monies are to sent to Costa Rica.

    Whilst woes are patiently queuing to take their turn to overwhelm our club, I thought I would provide my fellow Gersnetters with an observational distraction. BBC Scotland has spent the last year expressing faux concern for the stability of Bears. Often, the usual suspects' conclusion to the latest disaster to befall Rangers is to exclaim, "whatever must the Rangers supporters be thinking"? The perturbed and distressed then proceed to tell us what we are thinking. I am sure there will be a psychological term for such behaviour, 'false empathy syndrome' maybe ; I prefer to think they are ripping the piss. On Saturday evening, after shooting ourselves in both feet and head at Tynecastle, highlighting our ill discipline was not enough. Cosgrove and Cowan were hosting the phone-in and three, four Bears availed themselves of the given opportunity and told the listenership 'what' they were thinking.. One Bear took the conspiracy theory bait, the referee, Craig Thomson is a well known Hearts supporter and everybody knew Rangers would suffer both a red card and a penalty. Cosgrove guffawed and hit back with the ref' over compensating, "he should have red carded three Rangers players". I continued to drive home and was lost in thought about the game, three thirty-something players lost the plot, the bizarre team selection, and irrational substitutions was what I was thinking. Interrupting my chain of thought was Cosgrove announcing the next caller, Gordon the Jambo from Glasgow. Possessing a rather gruff, exaggerated Edinburgh accent, Gordon from Glasgow told of attending the game and already returned was currently watching Queen of the South/Falkirk on BBC Alba. Gordon was anxious to confirm, "the agricultural nature of the team from Ibrox", and, "the brutality on display". The stench of upcoming triumphalism was overpowering. Cosgrove agreed it had been a week of agricultural football and asked Gordon the Jambo for his opinion on the worst example? Gordon hesitated, but offered, "the sight of Eckersley being stretchered round the track was a black mark in Sevco's book". Obviously, Hearts were not Gordon's strong suit, I am positive it was McHattie being carted. Warming to the theme and reading from the same script, big Stu' prompted, "any good chants today, you know wind-ups"? Gordon obliged by singing, "you let your club die, Glasgow Rangers you let your club die". Jum, Big Stu', Tom, Rheinhart, ..... et al can no longer directly crank the snigger-meter, but evoking the medium of proxy tells us what they are continually thinking. As if we didn't know. One question, what was the name of the BBC Scotland Producer that played the part of Gordon the Jambo?

    The biggest factor in possible managerial change at our club, is Mike Ashley. He is paying a most demanding piper on a monthly basis. The obvious reference is Newcastle United, where he awarded Alan Pardew with an eight year contract. All his business dealings highlight fierce loyalty to an inner circle. Newcastle fans have regularly vented dissatisfaction with Pardew, but Ashley has remained loyal and at this moment United sit fifth in the Premiership. Will Ally vow undying loyalty to Mike?

    Sitting in Bar '72 these last few weeks, I have realised it was all my fault. Those mid-60s philosophers will have daubed us as, 'lost souls', not knowing our role. Thanks to the Board for shining a light into a dark corner. Sorry to the Board, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. As Hughie Green used to say, "and I mean that most sincerely folks". Does the Co-op still sell sincerity? I'll have a quarter pun.

    The Sunday Herald's resident Jambo, Stewart Fisher has reported such on Lewis MacLeod : "MacLeod, the 20 year old who has earned his maiden call up for the full Scotland squad for the matches against Republic of Ireland and England, quiet for the most part, still came up with the quality his side needed". I suspect Stewart and I attended a different game, Lewis continued to be influential throughout the ninety minutes.

    Older Bears will remember John Greig and his obstinate attitude to Davie Cooper? He was easily the most talented player at the club, but Ham and Egg regularly kept him on the bench. I fear the Ally/ David Cooper Templeton relationship might be similar?

    Why does nobody use the, 'I have a bag containing five magic beans' line anymore?
