    Zappa, If acceptable, I am willing to do Killie at Ibrox.
  2. 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".

    A team of white unicorns' hooves are straining for purchase on the cobbles outside the Auditor's office.

    BBC Scotland are reporting : Salmonella cases linked to Celtic Park. A salmonella outbreak in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and Highland areas has been linked to hospitality at Celtic Park. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde(GGC) said 11 people who had eaten at the stadium on 21 September, the day Celtic had played Motherwell, had fallen ill. The Health Board said all 11 cases were recovering in the community. Glasgow City Council's Environmental Health Department are content with food production within Celtic Park kitchens and the investigation is focusing on external sources. Glasgow City Council's continuing loyalty is impressive and I hope Peter rewards them with tables of free hospitality for their up coming Christmas lunch. Talking of external sources, I note the Evening Times is reporting 17 arrests last evening, both inside and outside ground at the Europa Cup group match. Sounds like a riot? Keith Jackson will not have the opportunity to report one way or other, ra Sellik have banned him today. You are what you read!

    Ally is a wild and wacky guy, sometimes he's quite cone-ical.
  14. 26th of foot
    If the traffic cones are required to remain static during the 90 minutes, I fancy us to beat them quite comfortably . If they are allowed to be repositioned every couple of minutes, it could be close. I suppose it's dependent upon the pre-match cone-tract.

    Lewis MacLeod covers for a lot of Ally's ills.
  16. 26th of foot
    STV reporting both Boyd and Mohsni have been offered two match suspensions for separate off the ball incidents on Monday evening. The Compliance Officer is quite correct in both regards. I can recall both incidents from the match, as yet I have not watched TV highlights.
  17. 26th of foot
    Mohsni pulls on the Rangers jersey, I support him throughout the duration of his time on the pitch. However, as for cult status; I fear the third letter is the wrong consonant.

    Zappa, Thanks for that, I listened again, having heard it live two weeks past. Cosgrove is strident as per usual during the clip, but it's not the smoking gun referred to by Spiers. These last two years, BBC Radio Scotland has broadcast a 30 minute show, Thursday 13.00-13.30hrs, hosted by John Beattie, contributions by Cosgrove and Eamon O'Neill. It is a media watch piece, specifically looking at how news is gathered, edited, and reported. The stimulation for the show was the two year build-up to the referendum and provides a window of opportunity for Cosgrove in current affairs. I have listened to most of them, Cosgrove never missed, often breathless on the show's introduction. Remember, he works in London for Channel 4, this show was extremely important to Cosgrove. Yesterday, it's the first such show after the referendum and it's Beattie and O'Neill, with no explanation as to Cosgrove's absence. Topics discussed were the referendum result, perceived BBC bias, Salmond's resignation, and the George Square rammy. Thus, did Cosgrove remove himself because of lack of self-discipline, or has BBC Scotland removed him hors de combat? He may be damaged goods because of his interventions during the referendum build-up. We should be told. If any Gersnetter has any information on Cosgrove's 'sailing extremely close to the wind', please share, I would be most grateful.

    Frankie, I am a self-confessed Luddite. Does this mean, he only corresponds with a select few? How does Spiers know what he tweeted? I think he will feel Spiers has betrayed a confidence; however, one journo joining and encouraging the mob against another Journo is surely verboten?

    Frankie, There was a most interesting exchange of views on BBC Radio Scotland's, 'Off the Ball' on Saturday last. Cosgrove and Spiers were presenting, as Cowan is holidaying in Las Vegas. Cosgrove began by introducing Spiers as, "the acceptable face of unionism", continued the barbs throughout by asking, "do you still wear your union jack slippers bought from ASDA"? After 15 minutes or so, Spiers hit back with questioning Cosgrove's conduct during the Yestapo's flash mob antics at Pacific Quay ie a couple of thousand protesters with a dozen full colour placards depicting BBC Political Editor, Nick Robinson's image. Spiers was specific in flagging-up Cosgrove's social media contributions to the anti-BBC Scotland protest. Spiers set out Cosgrove's 20 years working at BBC Scotland and concluded his comments reference colleagues and the institution, "sailed extremely close to the wind". Cosgrove weakly countered that he knew the management and people involved and he was in no doubt that bias had prevailed. Spiers replied, "really Stuart, really"? At this point, the show's Producer intervened and instructed them to move the discussion on to another topic. Remember, Bears held 3 protests in just over a calendar year at Pacific Quay because of our perception of BBC Scotland bias. Cosgrove led the charge to sneer and ridicule Rangers supporters for their actions. Even after Alex Thomson insulted the victims of the Ibrox Disaster by YouTubing John Greig's statue walking away from the plinth, Cosgrove, Channel 4's Director for Diversity, protected their company asset, Alex Thomson by leading him through a rehearsed 40 minute Q and A, pleading ignorance. The next day, Thomson was utilising social media to call all Rangers supporters, 'Daleks', knowingly so, because they cannot negotiate stairs either. It's the principle and big Stu' puts himself out there as a doyen of sanctimonious piety, Cosgrove sneers and ridicules one bodies sensitivities, but is most supportive of another. It is the very epitome of sitting extremely comfortable with a preferred prejudice. I would be most interested if any Gersnetter could utilise social media to find out exactly what he tweeted about BBC Scotland and Nick Robinson? I do not use the means myself, I suspect it to be insecure. I would be grateful for the information because I think Cosgrove may have lost his discipline big time and handed Rangers supporters a most useful lever.

    Neil MacKay did an autobiographical essay a while back, it was entitled, "My middle name is Patrick". He is from Nothern Ireland and is the product of a mixed marriage. It mirrors Elaine C(for Sellik) Smith's conditioning; rc side of family compassionate, warm, and supportive, whereas prod half were spiteful, cold, and sneering. He is a product of his conditioning and regularly spits venom at those he perceives to be associated with one half of his family. I know Gersnet are most sensitive to the consequences of last week's referendum, and quite right too. I am desperate for the Rangers support to remain as much a collective as possible. I offer the following information as a factual contribution to D'Art's current problem. The blogger, 'the man the beasts cannot tame' is often a difficult read, most interesting content but difficult presentation. His research is detailed, and he provides a run down of those in George Square(including photos) in the immediate minutes before the confrontation. It's a rag-tag and bob-tail of characters hitching aboard the Yes campaign wagon. If a newspaper wanted to amplify those involved, it's a screaming headline. MacKay happened to be in the square with fellow like-minded journos and decided to amplify an unedifying sequence of events into a full blown riot. He has fashioned a tool which has been utilised by both First and Deputy Minister. A component of said tool was manufactured by MacKay by deliberately using preferred prejudice to edit D'Art's piece to suit. The Sunday Herald are willing participants. I wish D'Art good fortune in this quest, I suspect he will need it as the demonization aspect appears well developed in MacKay.

    Cosgrove, yer teas oot!

    On Saturday, I listened to Cosgrove lionise Dundee United. They are the Yes club from Yes City. Their Chairman, Stephen Thompson came out last Monday, supporting a Yes vote and urging club supporters to follow his lead. In excess of 40% of Dundonians voted No, many of those will be United fans, how do they feel? I suspect they will quietly continue to follow their team. Let's take this rationale to it's conclusion. Tommy Sheridan is in this morning's Herald, urging everyone to join the SNP. Thus, a Trot' socialist is succumbing to the warm waters of nationalism. The Sunday Post has submitted a FOI request reference the First Minister's meetings with Rupert Murdoch. Apparently, Eck has met Rupert on more occasions than all other party leaders put together. So, Tommy wants everyone to join the party led by the guy desperate to solicit the support of an Australian octogenarian that put Tommy in the tin pail. What team should Tommy support?
  24. 26th of foot
    I can empathise with the OP too. I voted No in the referendum, and no, I do not think I was duped. I was disgusted by the way the more extreme elements in the Yes campaign(the Yestapo) claimed the sole right to the Saltire. It's my flag too. Similarly, those Unionists that indulged in triumphalism upon George Square do not own the Union flag, that's my flag too. Twenty years ago, I began a journey of disengaging from physical support of the national team. I continue to want Scotland to win every game, although my support is very much from the armchair. Boing Rangers players, Iain Ferguson, Barry Ferguson, and most recently, Ian Black has become a habit to the Tartan Army. Blaming Rangers for all Scottish football's ills has become compulsory, and again being told continually that ALL Bears support England, has confirmed my disengagement. However, Scotland remains my country and my team. The actions of several hundred(police figures) fellow Scots waving flags aggressively at each other in George Square should not deter the majority of us from getting on supporting our team and country in whatever way we find most comfortable.

    Ally should demand we sign another three keepers.
