    Harry Belafonte had a number one hit with a faux bossanov beat entitled, 'oh island in the sun'. I believe Matt McGinn changed the lyric to 'oh Hampden in the sun'? The homage to that League Cup final originally contained the second line, 'celtic seven, the H--s one'. There are a few Sellik books by the usualmsuspects that are titled, utilising various lines from that song, includng the opening line. It's a piece of unecessary Sellik triumphalism that I hope does not confront Bears on a Rangers forum.

    Johnny Russell finds our defence fertile ground. I am sure he is lookin forward to ploughing a familiar furrow. An interesting snippet, the night we secured the ECWC in Barca, Brian Clough's Derby County were playing Airdrionians in the Texaco cup final at the Baseball Ground. It was a season long cross border tourney, and I think County narrowly pipped a very good Airdrie 2-1 in a two-legged final. Do Derby County list the Texaco cup as an honour?

    Several weeks past, I did a couple of pragraphs entitled, 'Doing the Arithmetic'. The figure breakdown for renewals, pledging to the Dve King initiative, and non-renewals have pretty much panned out. The largest grouping is non-renewal and I would subscribe a considerable percentage of that figure is done to the standard of football we have endured these last 2-3 seasons. It's another aspect of club administration tht this Board have failed to deal with, among numerous others. In conclusion, I suspect the nature of competition in this season's championship, will see an average of mid-40k crowds at Ibrox. Thevslicers will probably still get their dosh, they will just have to wait longer for their booty. The rotisserie will turn slower and it will take longer for the roast to drip, perhaps they will invest in rotisserie alarms? It may be both Hearts and Hibs relegations have provided the most important slice upon the Board's daily bread, that of luck. In the original piece I explained Abe Lincoln's journey to, 'doing the arithmetic'; another General coined an equally famous phrase. Napoleon kept his armies up his sleevies and cut off every intelligence officer briefing on the merits of the opposing General by demanding, "stop tellingme how good he is, tell me is he lucky"? Will our Board continue to be lucky?

    Martin Bain will be in rapture. All those pictures of, "modular build facility".

    Through the auspices of the ether, I have been in correspondence with His Pokeyhatness and he has revealed his new RSC song : We are the loyal, The Pokeyhat loyal, Stars and crescent moons, Fashioned from silver foil. Sing wth gusto, and praise the wizard of the blue Fadouk.

    Haw Graham, daub a tad more marinade on the club's rear flank. Oh, and mill a bit more pepper on the shoulder. We don't want the juicy bits becoming over caramelised. Grab the windlass and turn the rotisserie; the usual suspects want it dripping before taking another slice. Graham's job is pretty straight forward, Toxic Jack's involvement could be more than stroking the Easdale ego.

    Burning the bean, grinding the bean, , baking the bean, ............ etc - all worthwhile pursuits. However, counting the bean .......................................zzzzzzzz

    Haw Chuck, Craig, Sandy, Graham, .............. etc, turn the rotisserie, the roast is dripping again, it's ready for another slice to be cut.

    Jum Spence will love spinning his Furher's line, Cosgrove will breathe as much air time into it as possible, and the rest of the usual BBC Radio Scotland suspects will continue to snigger.

    Why doesn't Jim ask fellow Labour Party representitives about their actions on various GDC/GCC committees, Development Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, and and Sports Scotland? Recently, I note Margaret Curren MP, her role in questioning and ensuring ground given to ra Sellik for peppercorn rates, has now been redesignated to allow development and worth ten times more. Go on Jim, you know it makes sense. Oh, did you ever tell us who paid your three day all expenses trip to Seville?

    Currently, I reman in Mallorca. Tonight, Real Mallorca must win their last match of the season, away to Cordoba to ensure they avoid relegation for the second successive season. Spain's third tier would see Real backnwhere they began when I first saw them in the old Luis Sitjar stadium, 40 years ago. Let's hope 'the sufferers' do not have to endue further pain? Anyways, I enquired of a couple of Mallorquines in my local bar in San Telm of what they knew of Ronny BumBhoy? Apparently, as an8 year old, Ronny tuned through the crackle to listen to ra Sellik commentaries in Euro competiton. Even though Swiss minows Xamax were horsing ra byoys 5 zip, Ronny did not lose faith. Further, he was known to kayak his green'n'grey canoe across the fjord to school every morning. Ronny canoed, just like Jock. I note from the Herald website that a chap brought the M8 to astandstill yesterday, running across lanes in his boxer shorts. I suspect the Ronny has landed.

    Andy McGowan is Jim Delahunt, I claim my tenner. Over the years, a few of these piss takes have resurfaced on both print and broadcast media as gospel facts. There is no end to what our club haters want to, indeed need to believe about club and support. My own favourite was penned in the Sunday Herald by Sanjeev Kohli, yep that Sanjeev Kohli. Like both his brothers, Sanjeev is a product of Jesuit education, St Aloysius College in Glasgow. He received no hassle as an out and proud Bear at school, both fellow pupils and teachers were the epitome of liberal tolerance. He attended ra Piggery on 2nd January 1988, stood in the Rangers end, and watched Mark Walters debut in a 2-0 defeat. In two and half pages in the Sunday Herald supplement, 'Seven Days' Sanjeev explained his instant conversion from Bear to Yahoo over his two hour experience that afternoon. Fellow Rangers supporters in monkey and gorilla suits pelted the unsuspecting Walters with bananas. Bears booed Walters every time he touched the ball, and a banner pronounced there was no black in the union jack. False memory syndrome on Sanjeev's part? Maybe, or could it be he utilised an opportunity presented to him by Editor, Charleen Sweeney to reposition himself in artistic circles. Hasn't done him any harm, tell a whopper about Rangers and the support, get ahead. The bigger the whopper, the further you will get ahead.

    I love, 'quality scouting'. I was both a cub and a scout, I did BIG woggle time. Anyways, taking this seriously in a wolf cub sixer type of way, is it a full house, a line, or four corners? Waiting oan ra wan Loyal RSC.

    The news does not improve for us. Manticore was a poster with robust opinion and I wll always encourage such mindset.

    If we are having a Miller from Edinburgh, I would prefer Jimmy Millar.

    Hey, we've gone from Bad News Bears to Good News Bears! ............ and Graham Wallace says?

    As truly heart breaking as Charlie Telfer's decision is for Bears, it is the frightening reality of our club's situation. .............. and Graham Wallace says?

    His Bobness, before he fell off his motor bike, was a chap capable of a pithy lyric and possessed an ear keen to a mean melody. I listened, but always preferred the arrangement, interpretation, and presentation of the numerous bands queuing to cover his work ie the Faces, Jimi, the Black Crowes, the Byrds, the Band, ............. etc. In a way, it continues the analogy; the gospel according to me being presented by both the Board and King is largely falling on deaf ears. Better music is available, only by necessary harmony. The mood music surrounding our club is a dirge.

    Both the Slug and Nuremberg were recently paid-off by the Sunday Mail/Daily Record. It's a big freelance world for the on-message duo.

    WATP is a tremendous read, common currency for every Bear. The Gersnet contributions only improve the cache.

    Ever the pedant. I accept fully that the two clowns currently sitting in the jail, deservedly; had intent to the fore of their small minds. However, they dd NOT send "parcel bombs" to Lennon. They addressed parcels containing wires, batteries, and phials of chemical solutions. No means of detonation were included. These were not viable devces despite reports at the time. Evdence presented at the court case declared all experts accepted they were not viable. Further, all parcels were intercepted at the sorting offices and dealt with by postal staff ie no ATO involvement.

    Apparently, the club Chair has a cunning plan. A man he met offered him a bag containing five magic beans, in return for Auchenhowie. There is another similar bag available for Ibrox.

    Has any responsible Hibee separated Pat Nevin from his biro?

    It was happenstance that saw me watch the Hibs v Acas game yesterday in the company of Cowdenbeath's manager. At the culmination, he said the fixtures were due in 3 weeks time and was certain they would be starting away at Tynecasle/Easter Road/Ibrox.

    I remember the Real Zaragoza game well, we were commanding throughout and found it hard to believe that the result had been reversed in Spain. I would like to confirm to all viewing Yahoos that the coin utilised in the toss, was a masonic penny. I am currently in Mallorca and both Paco and Pepe at Port Adriano Nautico have assured me that the Zaragosa players were seething. Another thing I remember about the Zaragoza game, was the torrential rain at Ibrox that night, however Dave Smith glided majestically across the surface.
