I wasn't aware that treatment for them stopped you from typing though.

 

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?

What's McGavigan's website?

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.

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.

What about walking 6 yards to spit on opposition scarves? Is that vile?

 

Add in abusing and cheating on the pregnant women in his life, then it shows just how 'remarkable' Lenny is.

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.

So Lennon and Novo have been taking similar levels of abuse, but only one is described as sectarian.

 

Perhaps that suggests that Lennon is not liked for the same reasons as Novo, and other players like Savage, Keane etc. Nothing to do with religion but that, of course, doesn't sit well with some people's agendas.

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.

Far more likely.

 

I'm almost tempted to read the book now. :fish:

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.

Hopefully Ewen will follow up with his threat and report it to the police.

Ewan has previous in this regard. A couple of years past, he gave into inTIMidation when details of the Nursery his two daughters attended, were posted on the same Yahoo messageboard that published Novo's address. I suspect the clown who has threatened hom live on air is aware of this previous history.

Surely there's got to be a better reason than the fact that he votes for the SNP? Sounds like Smith is trying to Spiersesque, as you suggest,but obviously nowhere near as good at it.

 

As for the SNP's commitment to the Queen, I believe it depends who they are talking to. Quite happy to put it to a vote post-independence. They are after the RC vote as well, as you well know.

The reasoning could be quite base, maybe Sellik Chair and sex pest(ask Dawn Primarollo MP) , John Reid MP is a former disatisfied john/client of Frank McGarvey's wife?

Andrew H Smith is a former Editor of ra Sellik View, his nickname at the Blatt was, 'Bombscare'. He left ra View and these last few years has regularly made an arse of himself at Scotland on Sunday, normal behaviour for such a strict adherent of Spierism. He mirrors Spiers absolutely in his weekly Diary, 'Stramash'. Here is an example of recent contribution :

"Sources close to Frank McGarvey allege that Frank's brilliant and frank autobiography Toatal Frank isn't being stocked in the Celtic shops because it is too political. In the book Frank reveals his support for the SNP. Is republicanism in all it's forms to be avoided in official circles at Parkhead"?

The last I looked, the SNP's committment to constitutional monarchy remained firm, they accept the present monarch as Queen of Scots and see an independant Scotland as part of her realm. One can only assume that Andrew H Smith's interpretation of nationalism is completely tainted with his immersion in pejorative Irish nationalism, republicanism being a willing bedfellow.

Singing the songs of hate and taking the loyal oath has never been a problem to the established west of Scotland Labour Party apparatchiks before. I suspect the real reason why McGarvey's tome has been disavowed at ra Sellik shops, is because all those former and present cabinet members, either sitting on the Boards or in the Main Stand(John Reid, Des Browne, Brian Wilson, .......etc) are concerned as to their future standard of life. Obviously afraid of a former player with an obsession for the GGs and Bookies providing a ringing endorsement to Alex salmon?

Confused? You won't be, well not nearly as much as Andrew H Smith's confusion over the meanings of both nationalism and republicanism.

I have a book Big Roddy(ra Proddy), penned back in 1990, 'The Only Game', a history of Scottish football. It's a decent attempt, well researched and well written. I fear this book has been Forsyth's career high, the last 18 years being a struggle to find a niche already firmly occupied by the ****** Baptist.

BBC Scotland love Roddy, he willingly utters their every fantasy about the Rangers support. His sister, Janice is ying to Roddy's yang, constantly articulating west end dinner party sensitivities to social and economic ills. This is Roddy's mistake too.

His latest faux pas, so cruelly and legitimately exposed by Frankie, proves Roddy's research these days extends all the way to the end of his sister's dinner party table. Love the Manchego and Tio Pepe, hate the Huns, absolutely.

Roddy, consider yourself an arsewipe.

Interesting stuff 26OF...

 

Can Bitter blame the reverse midas touch of Spiers? One would have thought he'd have brought his army of fans?

 

What next - tempt McNee out of retirement?

Spiers and Snyde deserve each other.

I was frantic in my attempts to receive an update on the Yahoos game on Sunday, driving along Eglington Street, the power lines of the railway surfing against AM reception. It appeared Radio Snyde were playing music. BBC Radio Scotland provided the good news that Dundee United had equalised. I tuned back to Snyde as I headed along Clyde Street, the music continued. It hit me, Snyde were NOT broadcasting football coverage and the Yahoos were playing at Tannadice.

I believe this is Snyde's fourth continuous season without live coverage of SPL games? In 2004, Snyde refused to pay the going rate to provide live commentary, they relented to the era of the 'Magic Specs' ie watching all the live feeds of all games covered, doing lots of commentary from the banks of tellies, and keeping Lawyers on stand by to ensure they were not encroaching too far into the terrority of those broadcasters who had paid the going rate. Hence, all those pre-fixes of, 'we believe', 'we are told', 'we are informed',..........etc.

Snyde masnaged to keep their level of coverage going because the Phoenix Group's owner, John McGuire sponsored every football related programme. Snyde promised the live commentary would return, it hasn't, and Real Radio has made significant inroads into Snyde's broadcast footprint. John McGuire has pulled the plug, Volkswagon Verve have taken over a much reduced deal. Simply, it appears that Snyde are caught in the laws of diminishing returns.

Thus, no coverage of the Sunday, or Monday SPL game, and SuperscoreboardXtra has been reduced by 30 minutes each midweek night. I wonder if Snyde will provide live commentary on their favourite's Champions League adventures this season? Again, it was John McGuire's Phoenix Group that provided the means to allow Snyde to provide Euro coverage these last four years.

It was five years past that Snyde's Chief Executive, Paul Cooney joined his fellow Yahoos, Wullie Hee-Haw, Stephen Purcell, Charlie Gordon, .......etc on the Board of Scottish Enterprise(Glasgow). He promoted protege, Bitter Martin to Sports Editor, with the promise that the CE post would be his several years into the future. I wonder if Cooney and Snyde founder and former Managing Director, Sir Jimmy Gordon are accepting of Snyde's continued downsizing?

Snyde's owners must be asking questions too? Sailing the good ship Snyde into calmer waters would be a lot easier if they cut the securing ropes that have been tied to ra Sellik's PR machine these last 35 years. Jimmy Sanderson and Bob Crampsey, the real pioneers of Snyde's football coverage, must be turning in their graves.

can youget down to the bottom teir from the top teir at parkhead?

 

ive been offered a "restricted view in the top tier and already have two for the bottom and was hoping to go and stand with the two good views if you know what i mean.

In the spirit of May'99, you can leap from the top tier to the bottom.

I believe an acceptable raison d'etre is, 'ah wiz gaun fur a pie an'at kno'.

Bloody firewall won't allow me to access it.

Here is a sypnopsis :

Id like to know what sort of salary Bain gets anyway for being a Yes man. Frankie, any idea??

The last accounts showed Bain's salary to be �£550,000(including bonuses).

Yeah. What age must 26th of Foot be?

My age can only be determined by a Dendrochronologist.

cheers lads. guess we'll see what happens with this soon enough. strange days with all this.

 

craig, the book's "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", by Edward Gibbon. he was among the first historians to build a theory around history that had already long past, based on the records of the time. his central tenant was that Rome had become weak, effeminate, no longer dedicated to the continual war it took to maintain an empire - which reminded me of the constant energy it takes to run something like the RST effectively. the book was all quite controversial in its day, and is a seminal read for historians. it's also very long, and prosaic. as it turns out, i dont really like history.

'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' by Edward Gibbon was the 'O me miserum' of every schoolboy of 35-40 years past, and I have no doubt beyond that period too. Five years of Latin demanded a plethora of translations sourced from Gibbon's hand. His tome would have been more accurately entitled, 'mea culpa, mea maxima culpa'. It was all his fault,

Edward Gibbon was a complete cu-nt.

A dozen years past, Glasgow City Council(it was then Glasgow District Council) sold three streets to ra Sellik for a penny. That's right, 3 streets(Janefield Street, Dalriada Street, and Kinloch Street) for one penny. The families in the housing on these streets were paid Resettlement Grants of between �£3-�£4,000 per household. THe housing was demolished and the land cleared, all paid from the public purse.

It is estimated that GDC paid out between �£1.25-�£1.5million to allow Sellik to significantly increase their landbank for the cost of a penny. Has the local authority extended the same largesse to other lasgow clubs? In the last decade, GCC have refused planning permission to both Rangers(St Anthony's junior ground to reserve/youth stadium) and Partick Thistle(develoment of ground at the Firhill Basin).

As we know, the corporate colour of the Underground is orange, it's commonly referred to as, 'the Clockwork Orange'. This new line that goes out to the Sellik Park station and returns, will it run orange trains? If the sensitivities of the Yahoos are to be assaued over security fencing, how will they deal with the stock livery?

I must have missed this about the stadium - are they getting Parkhead done up for games??

As the Stydome is being used for both the Opening and Closing ceremonies, I imagine it will be receiving a fair bit of titilation on the back of Commonwealth gelt. However, the stadium immediately across the road is the indoor arena being used for field and track athletics. I believe the long term intent is for Sport Scotland to move in after the Games.

We all know that the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow 2014 has been a huge windfall for the Yahoos. A purpose built stadium(latest estimate up to �£94million) immediately across the road providing lots of state of the art sports medical facilities and new training opportunities. Tremendous infrastructure and new lines of travel. A new railway station and the Glasgow Underground system being extended for the first time in 124 years. Initially, there were to be three new Underground stations, the planners eventually settled on one, Sellik Park.

Of course, wndfall does not quite describe the deliberate long term strategic planning of all those involved. Glasgow City Council, the Glasgow Marketing Bureau, Strathclyde Transport Executive, and the Board of Scottish Enterprise(Glasgow). The various characters cross-decking all these organisations is quite incredible ................... Stephen Purcell, Wullie Haughey, Paul Cooney, Alex Mosson, ........etc No, they prepared the ground, cultivated it, and will rake in the harvest on behalf of their beloved Sellik. They even had time to ensure the private joke of Rugby Sevens being played at Ibrox was an early publicity release.

The latest catering to the sensitivities of the Yahoos, is the security fencing that has just gone up around the site of the new stadium. A perimiter of over a mile stretching along London Road and down Springfield Road, several foot high wooden sheeting, all painted battleship grey. The corporate colours of the Commonwealth Games are blue and orange. We are constantly told the GFITW are mature and responsible, they have awards from both UEFA and FIFA to prove it, why couldn't the fencing be painted blue and orange?

We should be told.
