    Both the Rangers Tax Case blog and Charlotte Fakes highlight Rangers and Rangers supporters' lack of political clout. As recently as July this year, Police Scotland acknowledged they were investigating CF, A progress report would be welcome. Compare and contrast with any complaint emanating from ra Stydome. A senior officer reacts because of political weight behind the complaint. The momentum is maintained as the usual suspects chorus, "Celtic supporters deserve full disclosure".

    Reference Rangers, there are as many opinions as there are Rangers supporters. However, the one thing that unites the Rangers support is the constant appalling conduct of BBC Scotland in reporting matters Rangers these last dozen years. There was real irony on Saturday afternoon when the usual suspects on Sportsound rushed to commend those Rangers supporters demonstrating against the present club Board. We, the Rangers support have been fractious, divisive, disunited, .....etc; now, we are being congratulated for showing collective action. Recognising the united Rangers support consistently pointing the accusing finger at Pacific Quay is awkward and inconvenient.

    Matt McGlone is a second hand car salesman and the Editor of the Alternative View(Sellik fanzine). Tom English is a Fud. The usual suspects are all over this like a rash. I suspect the greater worry will emanate from those that practise careful hate. The shadow Secretary for Defence, Jim Murphy MP will have been contacted and he will pen a stiff letter to the GO Scotland. The GOC will have to respond.

    NewsNet can reveal. On an day when Neil secured 14 points, and his players secured 26 corners ................... the Greenock Galaticos have secured a place in the next round of the League cup. BBC Scotland have ordered the Pacific Quay flag to be lowered to half mast and a non-establishment sub-editor has penned tomorrow's headline : 'The Tail'O the Bank are the Flail of a Wank'.

    Could it be those that have refrained from purchasing shares so far, are now prepared to buy to gain entry to the AGM? A couple of my mates have done the above this last week.

    No, that's a piece of satire on my part. The rest is as described and reported in the Hamilton Advertiser. The accompanying photograph is also available on the organisations website. The reason I contributed the above to the thread is because it is another piece of the jigsaw in Vincent Lunny's appointment. His father, Sheriff Frank Lunny has been heid bummer of said organisation in Scotland for eight years. Early last summer, I remember the spotlight being momentarily turned on Stewart Regan's brother, Stephen Regan. He is a Senior Lecturer at Durham University. He is a member of the English Studies faculty with particular interest in Irish studies. The publications he has contributed to, Edited, and written have mostly been of an Irish republican nature. It was reported he was a member of Opus Dei and of the organisation(Northern England Lieutenancy) which is the subject of the Advertiser report. Thus, to many folks, Vincent Lunny's appointment by the SFA was a trite odd. However, it could be explained when his old man met Regan's brother and suggested he tell his bruv' about his boy's availability for the post?

    A wee snippet from this week's Hamilton Advertiser. St Bride's Celebrations. Ceremonial Knights and Dames of the Scottish Lieutenancy of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem gathered from throughout Scotland and welcomed a new leader during a special mass at St Bride's RC Church in Bothwell. Archbishop Emeritus Mario Conti the new grand prior of the Scottish Lieutenancy, and Bishop Joseph Toal, apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Motherwell, led the celebrations as Titchie Greig was installed as the new Lieutenant of the Holy Sepulchre for Scotland. He took over from SHERIFF FRANK LUNNY, Knight Grand Cross, who had been Lieutenant for Scotland since July 2005. SHERIFF LUNNY was invested as a Lieutenant of honour by his successor. I should add, there is an accompanying photograph of 5 dozen folks in an array of medieval robes sporting large crosses across the chests, right shoulders, and left breasts. Disappointingly, given the organisation is an equestrian order, no horses; although plenty of horses arses on show. SHERIFF FRANK LUNNY is Vincent Lunny's old man. Vincent is pictured replete in the robes of St Bilbo of the Blessed Dildo. He looks positively tumescent and is clearly attracting the attention of Archbishop Mario Conti. Sincerely, I hope Vincent only views referred incidents whilst replete in his robes? We should be told.

    I would prefer Wembley.

    Apparently, Nuremberg Hugh is stirring it today in ra Record. Rangers beating Queen of the South is nothing to shout about. Further, if Rangers secure the Ramsden/Challenge Cup, it should NOT be celebrated. Finally, ra Shugster suggests Ibrox will be utilised for the final if we get there, because the rental costs of ra Stydome are prohibitive. He enlists Raith Rovers Turnbull Hutton to reinforce angst and anger. Hutton demands a sporting contest, it's not about maximising revenue. Note, there is no caveat about Rovers getting there. This is what happens when your favourites ban you for over a calendar year, you spit venom at Rangers after said favourite are spanked by Milan.

    That old political adage attributed to Churchill reference, 'Politics makes for queer bedfellows' became most apparent in Cosgrove's contribution to the defence of Spence piece in the Drum. A respected cyber publication has recently been highjacked by the usual mentalists as an outlet. It's office address at the bottom end of the Gallowgate, it's immediate proximity to the pub of choice of ra Green Brigade, and those quoted ie Roy Greenslade, Phil McFournames, Angela Haggerty, McConville, .......... etc would see any rational person anxious NOT to be seen contributing. Channel 4's Director for Diversity is pushing the envelope in defence of his fellow Rangers hater.

    Zappa, If there are no takers for East Fife on Oct 26, please put me down. Bayview memories!
  12. 26th of foot
    I remember all those conversations with 'soulfulsaint' several years past reference his constant usage of the 'H' term. Further, he was a Director of BT(Scotland) at the time and his arse was making buttons because he had been caught. Fortunately, the Editor of that particular Soul Music forum deleted all Soulfulsaint's rabid rantings and allowed him plausible deniability.

    I was wondering if any Gersnetters knew the name of Jum Spence's 'zine? He founded and Edited it for several years and his current designation at BBC Scotland is as a direct result of this particular publication. It was a case of BBC Scotland wanting to be seen to embrace the new media. I would like to peruse a copy/copies to how Jum referred to Rangers and Rangers supporters? Further, as Editor; what content was approved?

    Kevin Dunne smashed 13 of the 14 triple-glazed windows in the Dallas family home using a golf club. Fined £2,000 at Hamilton Court, also ordered to pay the cost of repair(Kevin owned a double glazing firm). Kevin did NOT have his Sellik season ticket recovered by the club and was applauded back to his heated green leather seat in the North Stand by fellow Yahoos.

    A couple of points : 1. I do not believe those stories in long term circulation about Angela's desire for closer ties with Columbia and Commonwealth businessmen. 2. Interesting to note Cosgrove has penned a piece for the Drum. As soon as the smoke from a Rangers hate fest is seen, he is in there fanning the flames. Director of Creative Diversity, my arse.
  16. 26th of foot
    About a dozen years past, John Reid's son, Kevin was one of the duo from Beattie Media that were filmed by Panorama offering political influence for cash. The other half(I forget his name), went on to become the SFA's PRO for several years.
  17. 26th of foot
    He did not appear. Cosgrove provided more than a few snide references to compensate.
  18. 26th of foot
    Yep, in the rarefied reality of Jum's world, those sheep look like holocaust vicTIMS too.
  19. 26th of foot
    Jum sought succour from extremists in the NUJ and now he is a pawn in their perception of reality. Paul Holleran, Phil McStupidnames, Angela Hagerty, .....et al pushed through a motion at their last conference stating 32 journos had been threatened by Rangers supporters in the previous year, Jum is more gris to their mill. In fact, as soon as Jum brought the NUJ to his meeting with the bosses at BBC Scotland, it was predicted by more than a few that such an incident would occur and the police would become involved. Jum et al want to be triumphalistic about Rangers, but do not want to accept the consequences.

    We have re-signed Andy Webster.

    Reference East Berlin. I was serving in West Berlin(British sector) in 1980. We were allowed to visit the Eastern part of the city for a several hour period during daylight hours. We were required to be attired in service dress, exchange £30-£40 into Ostmarks, and carry our MOD 90. It was drab, the smell of cabbage pervaded, and the beer ridiculously cheap. I remember the locals had plenty of dosh but nothing to spend it on, either a problem of distribution or manufacturing. I entered a Department store with the idea of purchasing a print for the mess walls, the shelves were barely a quarter full, mostly functional clothing. Later, in a bar and talking to a couple of guarded locals about football, I raised my experience whilst attempting to shop. They recommended a shop called, 'Inter'; West German goods at West German prices(10 Ostmarks to 1 Deutsche Mark). A couple of weeks later, I attended an Intelligence briefing and at the conclusion, mentioned my attempt at consumerism. Now, Int' types love to tell jokes as related by self-deprecating locals. A party member walks into department store and enquires about purchasing a pair of jeans? Shop assistant replies, 'this is the no shoes department, the no jeans department is upstairs'. The two locals in the bar told me everything was available in East Berlin for either jeans, coffee, or tights. I don't think they were joking.

    Genuine humour is always based on truth.

    Precedence is the key. Black should remind the Disciplinary Panel of the Clanree Hotel in Donegal. The then Sellik players, Pearson and Hartson stood on the stage leading the green'n'grey hordes in praise of the IRA. The then Sellik Chairman was also stood there chorusing approval and enthusiastically clapping his hands. We watched it on YouTube, we viewed the reality. However, when it reached the press; Peter Lawwell casually implied the video had been doctored, "utilising £30 of software". Black's bets are a perception of reality presented by £30 of software. Perhaps one of the more perceptive members of the panel will offer Ian odds on there being £30 of software in East Lothian?

    A couple of journos have contacted me reference the club Chairmen that called BBC Radio Scotland about Jum's presentation of the 12-12-18 plan. Apparently, there is some interest in Jum's intestinal travels amid the sour underbelly of Scottish football. I told both I would provide the information on this forum. On that Saturday afternoon in April, BBC Radio Scotland was preparing for Open Mics coverage ie over a dozen representitives attending various games. John Robertson was at Elgin and City's Chairman approached the Hearts legend to voice concern. Next up was Cowdenbeath's Chair and he highlighted Jum's son having access to information currently denied to him. I am told Annan Athletic's Chair called in but was not patched through. Doncaster, Regan, Lawwell, Thompson, et al got together to formulate the plan and decide on it's presentation. Jum was selected and he went for full throated consummation of the succulent slow cooked soured underbelly. Some might say Jum is a hypocrite, continually pointing broadcast fingers at others, whilst gorging himself?
