26th of foot

Paul McConnville has been found guilty on at least two occassions on several seperate charges by the Law Society Scotland. Currently, his license to practise has been suspended for 10 years. In between his support for Albion Rovers(stop laughing at the back) and staring in wonderment at the opening batting skills of Alisdair Cook(you've been told), Paul volunteers his services to the various Citizen Advice Bureaus in Lanarkshire. To be really considered as a bona fide hater of all things Rangers, there is the demanding prerequisite of FANTASY! Phil, Roy, McNally, ................. and Paul continually walk around with the BeeGees soundtrack echoing around their rancid craniums.

Of course, Stuart Cosgrove, Jim Spence, Rheinhart Gordon, Des McKeown, ............................................. et al say the above is a figment of Jim's feverished imagination. I note Cosgrove pulled out of Traynor's 'Your Call' on Saturday evening. Although he took time on Saturday afternoon's On the Ball and Sunday morning's Off the Ball to articulate his new position. Wait for it! Stuart Cosgrove is anti-debt and promulgating this stance has led many to perceive him as anti-Rangers. Over the two shows, he spouted this pysh on several occasions. Here's me thinking that Stuart's anti-Rangers credentials emanate from 40 years of, eh .... sheer hatred of the club and support. Big Rheinhart was at pains to emphasise Hearts principled stand on the payment offer and congratulated them on letting it be known that it was the club making the offer that led to refusal. I suspect Traynor must be actively watching his back at the wonderfully objective BBC Radio Scotland.

The bar is open for at least a couple of hours before kick-off, and simarly after the final whistle. At half time, only pies, bovril, and soft drinks are available, you must purchase a token for these before kick-off.

The Balaclava Emotion. It's only a few months past that half a dozen of those posh £11,000 per year pupils of St Aloysius College hung a 20 feet sheet from a second storey school balcony proclaiming, "the H--s are Going Burst". Whilst wearing their school uniforms, thay all paraded in balaclavas as they fluttered the sheet to the laughing, sniggering fellow pupils below. Have you seen an apology from the school's Headteacher? I haven't and there was no public media outrage either. There was a fair bit of the usual media suspects sniggering up their collective sleeves. This attitude continued as it came out the bhoys involved had completed the sheet as part of a collective art project. Their teacher had sanctioned and aided in the project. In these cases, the balaclava should be viewed as similar to Klan cornsacks/pillowcases. The picture on the blog has become the acceptable face of a growing section of ra Sellik support.

Anyways, gossamer threads or not. The SPL need not fear. Super Peter is on the case. Remember when Neil Doncaster was accompanied on to the Heathrow shuttle by his fellow member of the SPL TV Steering Committee? Yep, we do not know of any of the other members, we did not even know that such a committee existed. Many suspect the committee manifested itself on the plane because Super Peter had been spotted boarding. Super Peter, caped crusader and saviour of Hearts, the SPL, and ra Sellik way.

Similarly, heard about this on Tuesday evening. Information is most thin on the ground. The name and age of the elderly man killed in the accident has been released, an 84 year old and former Comissioned Officer in the Seaforth Highlanders. McKenzie's name and involvement has so far been witheld. QUOTE edited by Frankie

The SPL hangs by gossamer threads. If Hearts go under, the Edinburgh derby disappears. Further, Hearts can be relied upon to on average to carry 1,500-2,000 to most away grounds. Dundee look doomed and thus the Dundee derby folds too. The SPL TV deal is already desperate. I cannot see any media outlet willing to pay a premium rate when the Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee derbies have gone west for at least 2 years.

The 31st of December is 9 days after the winter soltice. Nine bells are sounded and the Hooved One of the Brown Fadouk emerges to bellow. After 125 years deliberation, it is believed the Cloven Congress has concluded the Hooved One should proclaim ; FCUK RA SELLIK. I am hearing the Coven Congress and the Hooved One have Debenture seats in the South Stand at Hampden.

I am on the island of Mallorca and drove 20Ks to a bar to watch last night's debacle. Being absolutely honest, I was not expecting us to progress, but the second half performance was way beyond woeful. Defensively, we are back to the early eighties. An ageing Bomber Jackson paired with Gregor Stevens, sandwiched between Shuggy Burns and Jim Denny. Seriously, Ally has to sort out the back four or he will be making the long lonely walk. Well done ICT, they deserved it and they didn't have to do much. Robust Rioja and a heavy home defeat makes you fell well qeasy the next day.

Hearts are the recipients of a transfer embargo due to failure to pay wages timeously. Rudi Skacel has been training at the club for several weeks, but said embargo means Hearts are unable to sign him. The Chair of the three man SPL pannel that imposed the embargo was Dundee United's Stephen Thompson. Dundee United signed Skacel. Now, I am sure BBC Scotland's Jim Spence will tell the listenership that Rudi signing for his tangerine favourites does not reek of Sporting Integrity(SPL Style). No, Jim will put his hand to his ear, and tell us all, "it's a consequence". There is no conflict of interest because Stephen told Jim, and Peter told Stephen, and ................

Thomson is a genuine fcukwit. Seriously. During my days of tertiary education, we all tuned into BBC Radio 4 to hear the six part serialisation of 'the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. We craved an answer to the 'Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything'. Of course, the answer was '42', what else could it be? On the island of Ireland, the republican sensitivity continually whispers '32'; as in a 32 county Ireland. Thomson is being played for a clown and I suspect the size 25(or should that be 32) shoes are a comfortable fit.

Thomson mocks the Ibrox Disaster by posting his 'Walking Away' video. Channel 4's Regional Commissioning Editor, Stuart Cosgrove provides mitigation for his colleague on BBC Radio Scotland's 'Off the Ball'. Thomson apologises for said video if people are offended by it. It's an exercise in sniggering faux sincerity. A couple of days later, Thomson is Tweeting and referring to Rangers supporters as, "Daleks". It's another in-joke utilised by Rangers haters, Daleks don't do stairs. I think it's time the club contacted the survivors and families of those that perished on the 2nd January'71 and ask the collective take on Thomson's continuing insensitivity.

Questions, questions, questions, ............................. Honestly, I am beyond questions, it is time to assemble a firing squad. The big hill at Bellahouston Park would make an effective bullet stop, the grass plain adjacent contains no ricochet inducing factors, and the park is well serviced by public transport. Pick a morning and assemble Whyte, Murray, Grier, Duff and Phelps, ...................................... etc and let's get it over with in several minutes. Any volunteers wishing to participate will be given a couple of minutes weapon handling instruction and I propose we invoice the families of those shot for the cost of rounds used. Do I have a seconder?

Change one line to : We're up to our eyes in BBC lies. Sing it loud, sing it proud. Can you imagine the various media discussions once the changed line is explained?

I believe Frank Rijkard also said, "Neil Lennon plays like he's wearing a balaclava". Maybe that's a false memory?

That particular quote came after the Ibrox 0-0 draw. The anti-football quote originated from the then Barca manager after they drew 0-0 with ra Sellik in the Nou Camp 2002.

Yep. BBC Scotland kept a cameraman and Chris McLaughlin in Barca the next day. They filmed said wife in the placa de Catalunya(already cleaned and cleared) and she was given 2-3 minutes to level her accusations. McLaughlin pointed out there had been no arrests. She became incensed, she had witnessed several cases of public urination, a Rangers supporter punch his wife/partner, and a bar had been trashed. All unsubstantiated.

We last played in Barcelona five years ago. The Rangers travelling support was estimated at between 25,000-30,000. I believe it remains a record for an away support in a CL group match. Despite such numbers, no arrests. This fact disappointed BBC Scotland in particular and they scratched around for a negative angle. The Admin' of well known Yahoo website resides in Barcelona, his wife is a Catalan native. She e-mailed BBC Radio Scotland's Tom Morton, he was hosting his early afternoon music show. Her correspondence was read out on air, "the litter being generated by the largely drunk Rangers support is appaling. The wonderful centre piece of the city, the placa de catalunya is being trashed". Unsurprisingly, the next few hours of newsbullitins lead with the item on the extent of litter being generated in Barcelona. I wonder if Radio Scotland will provide regular updates on Barca's litter today?

Reference BBC Scotland. Next week, ra Sellik travel to Barcelona to play a CL match. No doubt, several thousand hooped horrors will make the same journey to lend support. Five years past, Rangers made the same journey. An incredible 25,000 Bears travelled too, I believe the highest ever travelling support for a CL group game. During the day of the game, BBC Scotland appeared to be miffed that NO arrests had been made and desperately scratched around to find a negative angle. The then News Editor, Diarmid O'Hara(now Newsnicht Editor) decided to interupt Tom Morton's mid-afternoon music show to inform the listenership that the travelling Rangers support in Barca were generating record levels of LITTER. Yep, litter; we were leaving the Placa de Catalunya in a terrible state of disarray. BBC Scotland ran that headline on both radio and TV as the lead item over the next dozen hours. I wonder if anyone from Pacific Quay CSC will be designated Chief Litter Correspondent this coming Tuesday?

Wonderful, a statement that contains foresight and penetrative thought. I wonder where such a statement puts Phil McHundrednames and his, "Celtic own the famine" pysh?

Over £17 million Mr Sheened. It's a veneer, as I suspect the seperated brethern have been indulging in considerable mischief.

As of this morning, I believe 46,000 tickets had been sold.

Monday afternoon, Phil McThreeorisitfournames was tweeting hot gossip that Craig Whyte was back on the Rangers scene. Yesterday, he produced several paragraphs highlighting the exact details that BBC Scotland have released today. Once again, Mad Phil has been included in the loop and I suspect directly from a senior designation within Pacific Quay CSC.

BBC Scotland's Chief Football Reporter will be right on the case, as soon as Peter Lawwell tells him.

Stewart Regan is burst. Peter tells the usual on message broadcast and print media crew to prepare the ground. Peter will tell Eric to headhunt another Chief Executive who will do as telt. Peter will tell the crew to get behind the new CE, until he tells them, he/she is burst. Ewing Grahame is a cnut.
