Very interesting. I wonder where they got the idea? Perhaps from these fine fellows in Bremerhavn, just down the coast.....

"Police Scotland said it was unable to confirm whether it had received any formal complaints." An extraordinary statement, given the alacrity with which this organisation moved to make public comment over the doctored Rangers' players' video of 'Sweet Caroline'. Its observations, then, were that players were filmed "apparently" using discriminatory language, not "allegedly", as one might expect, although, to be fair to Poileas Alba, the source of the film was the unimpeachable Mr Wullie Wanker. One thing is for sure: there are too many tweets, posts, etc, from too many people, on too many subjects, over too long a timescale, for anyone to reasonably claim that phones/tablets/laptops were lost, or stolen, or -individually or collectively- hacked. The Daily Record seems to employ a large number of what Sturgeon might call "vile" people, but won't. ‘Hate tweets’ inquiry after Rangers fans hand over dossier to Daily Record Marc Horne Tuesday September 07 2021, 12.01am, The Times The Daily Record has confirmed that it is looking into claims that journalists used offensive and discriminatory language on Twitter https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hate-tweets-inquiry-after-rangers-fans-hand-over-dossier-to-daily-record-f0tccg8d7 One of Scotland’s best known tabloid newspapers has started an investigation after reporters were accused of using “hate speech” on social media. The Daily Record has confirmed that it is looking into claims that journalists used offensive and discriminatory language on Twitter. The newspaper ran a front-page story last week disclosing that members of the Heart and Hand football podcast, an official media partner of Rangers FC, had used anti-Catholic and sectarian language in the past. In response Rangers supporters compiled a dossier containing distasteful comments allegedly made by Daily Record staff members. In one tweet it is claimed that one journalist made an obscene comment about the Prophet Muhammad and also tweeted: “Where are the IRA when you need them?” alongside an image of the 2014 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in Glasgow. Others are accused of homophobic comments, with one writer allegedly stating that he had wanted to “stab” a “really, really feminine gay guy”. It is alleged that writers referred to members of the travelling community as “gypos” and “pikeys” and used slurs against disabled people, Rangers supporters and the Queen. David Edgar, the founder of Heart and Hand, said in a video posted online that he wanted to “ask the Daily Record if they will abide by the same conditions which they asked us to abide by. Will they apologise for this? Will the members of staff be disciplined? “And given that the Daily Record said that any organisation who are facing an investigation for this should have their press privileges revoked, can I take it that the Daily Record will be voluntarily agreeing not to cover any Scottish football matches whilst any of their staff who are under investigation for hate tweets are investigated?” In a statement, the Daily Record said: “A number of historical tweets from some of our writers have come to our attention. The Daily Record takes any claims of discrimination or hate speech very seriously and we have launched a full investigation into the matter.” The Glasgow-based newspaper had reported that Ian Hogg and Cammy Bell, management team members of the podcast, had used offensive language. Both men resigned and issued public apologies after a police investigation was started. A number of Rangers supporters claimed they had reported comments allegedly made by Daily Record journalists to the police. Police Scotland said it was unable to confirm whether it had received any formal complaints.

The former is a studied insult, the latter a mere summary of a freely chosen lifestyle.

Well, it looks like we will need more gaols. Perhaps the Cally Mac fleet could be converted into prison hulks, in the meantime. Fergusons could handle the contract.

Thank Gawd for that. I thought that it was another war starting.

An option to recall? After wearing these? Greuther Fürth 20-21 vs 21-22 Home Kits The Puma Fürth 20-21 home football shirt features a modern take on the club's classic white and green stripes design. The Puma SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2020-2021 shirt is mainly white with unique green horizontal stripes - they have a similar graphic effect as the Iceland 2020 home kit. -

Leeds United, apparently, is pursuing Dan James, ManU, winger and Wales International. Permanent deal. If this is accurate, and a deal is sealed, may we assume that Leeds' interest in Ryan Kent is over? -

I am told that Mr Troy Deeney is currently at Ibrox. Make of that what you will. -
In a very resilient performance, all round, which made a change from recent weeks, somebody stood out, which also made a change from recent weeks. I mean, of course, Leon Balogun, who gets bonus points for his remarks after the game.
