26th of foot 5,829 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The original story seems to have emanated from Phil McFivenames. He took a well trod path, lit the blue touch paper and stood back. His predicted pyrotechnic show did not materialise. His salivating audience demanded to know why no big bang? Phil was on twitter late last evening apologising, informing his public that his AIM insider(another personality that lives in his head) had misinformed him. Apparently, he put the decimal point in the wrong place; millions of shares being traded were actually twenty-odd thousand. Remember, Phil is a leading light, roughy-toughy in Donegal Mountain Rescue. Let's hope anyone stranded amid the Donegal Alps is not relying on Phil's ability to place the decimal point on a grid/magnetic bearing. As Radio Snyde's objective Host of ra Show, Jim Delahunt kept saying, "a man from Donegal who has built his own substantial platform". Why do the Sun listen to this fantasist? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,050 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Would it have done much good if he did warn us about Whyte? For all we know, it was Murray that tipped the wink to Johnston, who was in turn ignored by the majority of the support. It wasn't as if Whyte was welcomed with open arms by our then board. It's old ground now, but I think Murray gets painted as the bad guy, much more than he actually was, especially by certain people that are now fully behind the current regime. Most people in power are almost always hated by the end of their tenure. That doesn't mean we can't appreciate some of the undoubted good that he brought to us. It's not a black/white situation, as most people make it out to be. David Murray didn't sell us he sacrificed us for that alone may he rot in hell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublusince1982 243 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 the fact this was printed in the middle of the paper instead of the front page tells me how much credit the sun give it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTinMan99 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 David Murray didn't sell us he sacrificed us for that alone may he rot in hell. That's a tad harsh. There's plenty ahead of Murray to blame for our current predicament. You say yourself he didn't 'sell us', so how can he be held solely responsible? The real hatred should be reserved HMRC, and Lloyds. Murray's actions were all done with a proverbial gun at his head. What happened after that was beyond his control. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened after that was beyond his control. He didn't sell us because he sacrificed us in the full knowledge of who and what Craig Whyte was, a far more heinous crime than merely selling us. David Murray's part in our predicament can never be over stated. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Murray's part in our predicament can never be over stated. Whilst the sale to Whyte was almost inexplicable (save for the fact that SDM was clearly at desperation point in his efforts to sell) this is the same man who brought us: Laudrup, Gascoigne, van Bronkhurst, Albertz, Klos, Numan, Amoruso, to name but a few. It wasn't all bad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTinMan99 0 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Murray was bad this lot are far far worse. That was kinda my point. Slagging off Murray, is like slagging off Thatcher while Cameron runs amok, and robs you blind. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
