  1. From memory. Several years past, Caroline Black noted the capacity of the Rangers kitchens, ie could sit down in excess of 2,000 to meals. Thus, both kitchens and staff lying fallow, could be better utilised if food was being produced daily and sent off around the country to various sporting arenas. Azure was set up, 90% of the equity belonged to David E Murray. After 3 years(2005), Azure was in 57 arenas, including Rugby League, Cricket, and race courses; it's turnover was �£14.5 million, profit of �£3million. Caroline Black picked up Business person of the year award(Scotland). The extrapolation for the next three years was for Azure to be in over a 100 arenas, turnover to be in excess of �£30million, profit to double to �£6million. Interestingly, when our Dear Leader sold 51% of his equity to Elior, it was the same week he moved a number of his businees interests into a French Holding Company, based in Nice. Of course, our Dear Leader has a villa and several vineyards a dozen miles from Nice.
  2. First class report on a first class result. Thank you.
  3. Ah, Dalriada Street, Janefield Street, and Dechmont Street; all sold to ra beloved Sellik by the then Glasgow District Council, for a penny.
  4. GMP arrived in Glasgow several weeks past and began presenting these photos to CID/Uniforms/civvy staff. A good few of those attended the UEFA cup final and asked wider questions about command and control. Particularly the downing of the screen because a van full of communications equipment was situated behind it, surfing against it. A GMP Chief Superintendant refused to move the vehicle, thus the screen remained down. The reply to this line of questioning was, 'thats not helpful'.
  5. Scott and Travis are truly amazing. Each year they raise higher sums for worthy charity. Both are a credit to the Rangers family. They deserve all our support.
  6. Martin Bain intends to sell his bijou vineyard, the one he bought next door to SDM's. Magnamanious Martin plans to alleviate some of the Club debt by donating sums raised to Rangers. This year's harvest has been poor, producing a vin ordinaire that contains a Real(Wullie)MacKay nose. A bottle or two, guarantees the Polis at your door.
  7. I should point out that Hardeep shared the couch with face liftee, Anne Robinson. She achieved alcoholism by the age of 27(like her mother before her) and is the product of a private RC Boarding school. After Hardeep's retort about his colouring dictating his non-support for Rangers, she touched him and offered, "good man". I wonder how Satty Singh feels about Hardeep's hatred?
  8. Yep, that's the one. Several years past in the Sunday Herald's supplement, 'Seven Days'. The Editor was a Yahoo, Charleen Sweeney, she gave Sanjeev a front page, double page spread to articulate why he changed allegience from Rangers to ra Sellik. He explained that it was events of the 2nd January'88, while attending said old firm match at ra Piggery, he witnessed Mark Walters debut and saw his then fellow Rangers supporters dressed in gorilla suits pelting Walters with bananas. An absolute lie, the kick-off was held up for 6 minutes to allow the Sellik groundstaff to clear the bananas in front of the jungle; further, the second half restart was held up for another 6 minutes for the same reason. The front page headline in the next day's Sun was, "Yes, we have no Bananas", explaining east end Greengrocers had sold out of bananas, such was the demand from the green'n'grey hordes. The next week's Seven Days supplement was most interesting, the Sunday Herald's correspondence page was included in the supplement. The Editor, Charleen Sweeney controlled the correspondence, she knew Sanjeev had told the BIG LIE. Four letters, two from Sanjeev's brothers, another from another Sellik fan postulating on the perniciousness of racism(clear interference), and a single paragraph effort from a Bear telling the truth of that day. The next week, Charleen Sweeney stated no further correspondence would be published as it did not further the attempt to deal with the very real problem of racism. Why did Sanjeev indulge in the BIG LIE? Why has his brother, Hardeep returned to the BIG LIE on national TV?
  9. I have heard that viewers of yesterday morning's Andrew Marr's political show on BBC1 were treated to the depth of the Kohli family's preferred prejudice. Hardeep compared the Israeli army's invasion of the Gaza strip to some Rangers supporters' behaviour in Manchester on the evening of the UEFA cup final. Five hundred peoples' deaths trivialised to get a cheap dig into Rangers and Rangers supporters. Andrew Marr countered, "not a Rangers supporter then"? Hardeep did not miss the feed, "what, with this colour". Not content with trivialisation of a deadly serious event unfolding as he spoke, no, he joined his brother, Sanjeev and told the BIG LIE. Yep, Rangers supporters are racist. Well done Hardeep, congratulations on all those congratulatory texts and calls from your fellow members of the Establishment for sticking it on ra Huns on national TV.
  10. Watching Boruc's latest blunder brings to mind a quote from a Darts commentater some 25 years previously, Sid Waddell remarked that some lightweight's attempt to thwart a top player was, "akin to stopping a Panzer regiment with a fishing rod". Quite appropriate really, Poland lasted less than three weeks in September'39 from Germany's armoured thrust. The Holy Goalie has been abandoned by his God.
  11. Roddy McNulty is NOT interested in anti-sectarianism, he Never will be interested in such a worthwhile cause. Roddy McNulty's only concern is actively hating Rangers.
  12. I loved Nuremberg Hugh's immediate reaction last evening, deliberately spreading the fall out to include Rangers, "where does that leave Rangers, trailing 4 points behind Celtic and out of Europe to Kaunus, a worse side than Aalborg". Old Shuggie is a creature of habit, I remember him doing similar a dozen years past in the wake of the Bears thumping his beloved Sellik, "Rangers supporters are crowing tonight but they should recall they were knocked out of Europe twice before the nights got dark". Oh, he was hurting big time, just like last evening.(he was referring to the start of season that saw us papped out in a CL qualifier, then gubbed by Strasbourg in the UEFA first round). Of course, Nuremberg Hugh was a most willing participant in creating the ambience of inTIMidation that so bennefits ra Sellik. He regularly waxed lyrical on Snyde and in his Scotsman columns about, 'natural justice'. A phrase he no longer uses, I wonder why? 'Natural justice' was his euphanism for his constant perception that Rangers opposition often suffered 'game changing decision' from officials. He interceded Paul Cooney one Saturday afternoon from Ibrox, claiming Rangers third goal, and clincher against Hibs had to seen to be believed. Clearly yards offside, he was urging Hibs officials to make a formal complaint under the auspices of 'natural justice'. Cooney was motivated and we suffered regular updates as Nuremberg Hugh squirrelled with Hibs Directors, he announced triumphantly that a formal complaint was being made. It all turned to dust that evening as Sportscene's pictures clearly showed Hateley running on to a ball 5 yards inside his own half. Of course, it's impossible to be offside in your own half of the pitch. Amazingly, considering the time and effort Snyde devoted to Shug's ravings and rantings on this particular issue, it was NEVER revisited.
  13. We are a certain vintage, forced to plough our way through Hamlet for Higher English. It took 'Will' power to stay the course, incest, a skull called Yoric, revenge, and moral corruption were the component facts in a Danish tragedy. Davy 'Provo' Provan was the co-comentator from amid the graveyard tonight, it's just as well Aalborg did not field a player called, 'Claudius', Provo would have pulled on the balaclava and made ready his AR 15 Armalite. Cast your mind back to the last 8 games of last season, ra Sellik had a game changing decision from match officials at least every other game, a trend that has continued in the first dozen games this season. In a run of the mill Radio Snyde conversation, Darryl King highlighted this fact, Provo immediately jumped on the moral high ground and accused King of letting support for his team get in the way of objective commentary. Well, the man who rejoiced in the nickname, 'Provo' for a decade at Sellik Park, eyed his cake tonight and scoffed it down with unseemly alacrity. Just before his favourites scored, he lamented the ungiven penalty, slaughtered Paulet's inability to succumb to inTIMidation and award ra Bhoys, "a stonewaller". He threw in Paulets failure to punish Maldini in the San Siro, and the perceived legitimate grievence his fellow happy hoopsters hold against the Austrian referee. He could not resist the magnetism between his nickname and death threats, it's a comfortable existance. Provo's demeanor changed after Robson's headed goal, a replay showed an unsighted Ref during McDonald's upending and Davy accepted his Producer's prompting. However, Aalborg equalised and Provo went into meltdown, in twenty seconds he lost it BIG TIME, "a big deflection off McManus", became, "a wicked deflection", but settled on, "a cruel deflection". Sky's Bill Leslie attempted to move it on; well, the game continued, but Provo could not let go, "that's a huge slice of luck, Celtic should be out of sight". The real tragedy is not Caldwell's own goal with a couple of minutes left, it was Provo allowing support for his team get in the way of objective commentary. Provo was an effortless Hamlet tonight, he spanned the spectrum of overwhelming grief to seething rage with aplomb. Give the guy a skull and a mate called, Horatio.
  14. A dozen years past, I enquired of a friend who knew 'Spiersy', "where did he do his tertiary education"? The reply was a moderate surprise, "St Andrews". I was not aware that Scotland's oldest University offered degrees in Mendacity, Sycophancy, Useful Idiocy, Corduroy Fantasy, Homo-erotic Prose .........etc, so I enquired further, "what was his degree"? The reply was more of a surprise, "Divinity". Graham canoot forgive that Rangers supporters chased him from his position at the Herald. Just because Graham spends a lot of his time on his knees, does not mean he is of a Christian sensitivity, although I have heard he is always more than anxious to 'turn the other cheek'.
  15. Ra Port', Greenock, Gourock, ................. Newton Mortgage - it's all somewhere in Renfrewshire.
  16. The Greenock CSC is named, 'the Tom Williams CSC', their banner is at every game and ALWAYS displayed prominently at Ibrox when the Yahoos visit. They boast that they tell both Stydome and Ibrox security the story of their reverance for former founder member of their CSC, 'Tom Williams'. It must be accepted because the banner is ALWAYS on display. Tom Williams was an IRA operative who shot dead an RUC Constable, Patrick Murphy in 1942(the middle of WW2). He was tried, found guilty, and received the death sentence.
  17. A fair number of English sides have Scottish connections, either going back to their founding, or Scots players continually being the spine of the team. Millwall's badge is also the rampant lion, they were founded in part by Scottish dockworkers. In the early-eighties, I worked in west London for a year, I often crosseed the Thames to find the more Scottish football experience. The larger terrace behind the goals at Cold Blow lane contained numerous small groupings of exiled Scots, watching Millwall - Wrexham/Blackpool/West Brom ........etc; but intently listening to BBC Radio Scotland for the progress of Falkirk, Airdrie, Hibs, ........... Rangers. Another south London club, Brentford regularly had a dozen Scots players on their books, in the 20s and 30s, ten out of the eleven would be Scottish. Preston North end were another club that regularly had over a dozen Scots on their books. I have a football annual from the mid-sixties, 'the Topical Times Book of Football' and it refers to PNE as Preston Scottish. Our biggest export has often been our people, well educated and skilled without sufficient opportunity in our own land. We took our culture(s) with us, our obsession with fitba' being one. Travel to Hong Kong, East and West Africa, Canada, ......etc, you will find the Caledonian/St Andrews Society, the Masonic Lodge, and the RSC are all one and the same membership.
  18. Having attended numerous Remembrance services over the years, the most pertinent, most resonating part for me, is the piping lament, 'Flowers of the Forrest'. A simple repeating melody commemorating the shared experience suffered in all Scottish lowland towns in the wake of Flodden Field. A Coronet arrived and read out the 'casualty list', 90% in most cases. The significance of the above really hit home to me 25 years past in the small Cumbrian village of Warcop. After the Remembrance service, I moved forward to the stone War Memorial and noticed the first three names, all shared the same surname but differed in rank. A Brigadier, a Major, and a Subaltern had all perished in two years between 1915-17. Three generations of the same family made the ultimate sacrifice. A repeating refrain. The other dozen and a half names told another story, at least a dozen of those perished in two months in 1916, obviously members of the Pals Battalions of the great fall-in of ealier that year. Imagine the devastation in such a short period to such a small village. A shared experience. I wish Rangers would place a Piper on the pitch on Remembrance weekend, let the memory of those that have ensured our liberty and freedom resonate around the Stadium.
  19. George Peat's intervention is the latest in a long line of those being deliberately targetted, political pressure is being brought to bear. The Police are being increasingly quoted, it will all stem from Assistant Chief Constable Kevin Smith. I wonder the Procurator Fiscal's attitude to securing a conviction, even if they consider there is a case to answer? Frankie is correct, the song is a dirge.
  20. One can only assume that you contracted said STD from the toilet seat, lifting it with your fingers? Given your inoperate state on the keyboard, how does that effect the bean counter? Black street Loyal RSC.
  21. Phil McGavigan is from Baillieston, he took himself and family off to Donegal a decade past, applied for Irish citizenship and lives his fantasy. Phil made the complaint to the Irish Embassy in London, said complaint was forwarded to the Irish Edinburgh Consulate. It was McGavigan who was the adhesive for Spiers during his manipulation of the Villarreal situation. He was the go-between, bring together the disperate parties in UEFA, EU, the Villarreal CSC, ....etc. His website promotes his fantasies, he promotes his Irish heritage by using the Erse spelling of his name, 'Phil Mac Giolla Bhain'. I take it that Phil has no Irish equivalent? He proclaims himself as a, 'Campaigning Journalist' and, 'Literary Dissident'. He cannot help himself, there is a picture of him dressed as Michael Collins, holding a revolver. He is the real deal, a Continuity Thespian. The Botanical Truth Fairy cannot rersist an Irishman(Plastic Paddy variety) in a wax jacket, wielding a weapon. Spiers loves a bit of facial humiliation.
  22. The Bhoy in Corduroy protests too much, "something wasn't quite right about it, just who was stirring the pot"? He knows exactly, he has been slave to the message being continually pounded out by Phil McGavigan(Phil from Donegal on various radio phone-ins). Spiers boss at Radio Snyde, Bitter Martin's take on the 'famine song' debate last week was lifted word for word from McGavigan's website. Spiers has been a willing amplifier over the last decade for Mcgavigan's sound bites, I can only imagione he is now deliberately indulging in mis and dis information ie running interference. Further, Spiers piece totally omits the Spannish Counsul's involvement and statement reference Nacho Novo, again very similar to Phil from Donegal's contribution last week on Real Radio when Cameron asked about Sellik supporters singing pro-IRA songs at Fir Park, "my contribution to this debate is the racial overtones of the famine song". Instead of the very real threat posed by the Spannish Counsul, Spiers gets after an Ulster politician, discredits him because he is NOT on message to Peter Lawwell. Spiers does not comment objectively or accurately, he projects and holds an established position. Reference Barca'72, as someone who was there in attendance; the only riot occurred on field after the conclusion of the match. It was a wholly legitimate working class response to Franco's Fascist Para-Military Police - the Guardia Civil.
  23. It's easy to forget how much a paragon of all virtue that Lennon really is, I mean someone who abandons his pregnant girlfriend, then threatens her by sending in excess of 300 text messages. The texting included, "now it's your turn to feel pain" , "I will hurt you" and, "I will do you". It is always someone elses fault in the world of Neil, the very epitome of vicTIMhood.
  24. The Lurgan Bigot is only ever SUBJECTED to VILE sectarian abuse. Well, apart from when High Court Lip Reader, Jessica Lees caught him on three seperate occasions in one match at Ibrox, sectarianly(surely, that should be VILE sectarianly abusing?) the Rangers bench, the Rangers support, and Rangers players.
  25. I do not believe any reading is required. Frank has bowed to conditioning, you receive a packet of half a dozen crayons with each copy of the book. Happy colouring-in.
