    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?

    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?

    Zappa, If acceptable, I am willing to do Killie at Ibrox.
  16. 26th of foot
    Killie at Ibrox is on the cusp of winnable, very like ICT and St Johnstone in the League Cup. Again, we might progress in the Scottish Cup to at least the semi-finals, dependant upon ensuing draws. However, I note that our main challengers, Hearts will almost certainly be out at their first hurdle. Similar to early exits in both the League and Petrofac cups.

    I fancy a wee away day trip to the mighty Spartans.

    Police Scotland will want a midweek fixture, folks rushing to the game from work means less drinking time. Further, a beginning of February downpour of rain/sleet will also be welcomed, supporters keen to be off the street and into shelter. Oh, and the Lord Advocat will be in attendance. I wonder if Frank will be replete in balaclava, playing the part of Green Brigade foot soldier; or will he sit with Peter and the rest of ra Sellik Board? We should be told.

    I have posted before about my old man's insistence that we left every game five minutes before the final whistle. As a young teenager, I was dragged down Stairway 13 two to three minutes before the disastrous events unfolded. We returned to deepest, darkest Lanarkshire to be met by my mother at the end of our driveway. I remember that night, each bulletin delivered even graver news on death and injury, I remember the newspaper photograph of hundreds of shoes on the stairway, and I remember a fellow school pupil, Ian Hunter, one of 66 men, women, and children who expired. One village in Fife, Markinch lost five boys, four from the same street. The Dundee United fan that broadcast his vile thoughts, Grant Bell should be compelled to visit Markinch and meet the relatives of those boys. The Lord Advocat, Frank Mullolland declared anyone broadcasting sick references in the wake of the Clutha Disaster, would feel the full extent of the law; should ensure this sick Arab pays full respect.

    I suggest Dearest David contact Charlie Chuckles to see if his security company, 'Garrion' is available to provide the necessary protection to get his enhanced salary safely home. I am sure Charlie will give him mates rates; oh wait, Rangers are paying, make it a premium rate.

    I suspect Ally is taking the pysh, and being allowed to get away with it. I advise Ally to play Lewis MacLeod in the right hand berth of the midfield middle two.

    Andy Crawford resided in a dark corner. He was a practitioner of hate, the 'H' term was his common currency. He was an Editor of a SPFL Championship club's match day programme. He remains a Pensions Administrator for Edinburgh City Council. He attracted the light that was shone into his fetid quarter. I suspect Andy will soon attend his GP, citing stress and demanding a three month leave of absence.

    What are Andy Crawford's views on the entity that is, Ferrantimeadowton Thistle? We should be told.

    Sellik's Heid Bummer, Peter Lawwell has told ra Sellik View, "we are vicTIMS of strict adherence to our dearly held principles. It is a world known fact that Sellik are a club open to all. As such when Sam and Ella residing in a toxic soup, made application to reside in our kitchens, we were heavily influenced by their tales of electrification whilst listening to radio commentary of our run to Suvul. Can I just add, there is no truth in the rumour that a salivating Neil Lennon in an advanced state of refreshment, bit 11 diners in the Walfrid suite".
