SteveC 150 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 McMurdo corrected his blog when it was pointed out to him that RoI had not qualified for the WC. No apology or sign of shame over concocting all the lies based on this mistake ("up in arms" ..many believe") though. Perhaps lying and inventing are the way of this blog, it is taken for granted. A warning for Bears who read it when it is all about the 'Gers then..... ================ "Roy Keane’s loyalties are again in question over his possible appointment to the Celtic hot seat. Republic of Ireland fans are reputedly up in arms over the matter, seeing Keane’s walking out on the Irish World Cup campaign as being form for him after the notorious events of the Saipan incident in 2002. Many Irish supporters believe that Keane is loyal only to himself and that his departure would be a betrayal of the nation and national team boss Martin O’Neill, especially at this late stage in the team’s preparations for Brazil. Should Keane leave the World Cup camp to take up the reins at Parkhead, it would very possibly create an awkward split between Celtic and the Republic. The club’s connection to and identification with ROI could be undermined if Keane was to be a pariah figure to the Irish supporters. Of course, such a potential conflict of interest would be the ideal reason cited by Celtic bosses for bypassing Keane and choosing a candidate of lesser profile and salary. The tactic of talking big names while signing lesser lights is well-used by the club. Should Keane be the man Celtic are after, however, he would sign knowing that he had brassed off his own countrymen yet once more. The whole matter puts Keane between a rock and a hard place but if Celtic’s interest is genuine, he will have no better chance to resurrect his career in football. It would also give ITV’s football department great kudos as the stable for nurturing upcoming Old Firm managers. Roy Keane, like Ally McCoist before him, is becoming a decent pundit with a sharp eye and great insight into the game. Both men are proof so far, however, that successful football management is not a smooth transition from being great players and decent pundits. Funnily enough, if both men fail to prove themselves as managers they could be sitting together in an ITV football pod rather than in different dugouts. Not a bad fallback… " 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hildy 0 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 There are typos, errors and miscalculations that can be found in journalism at all levels, but sometimes, a monumental gaffe shows a level of carelessness that is both illuminating and concerning. I think this is one of them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Has the new code of conduct between Rangers supporters online etc been ratified yet? If not i'm in before the lock then. Merlin's opinion has been bought and paid for,so anything Mr McMental has to say has been scripted for him by Toxic Jack. Merlin should go back to selling spells and potions along with his Secret to earning millions. Just send him your ££££'s and he'll cast a spell and hey presto you're a millionaire, which begs the question why haven't the Rangers board sent him the money yet? The club wouldn't be in the financial mess it's in? That last question was rhetorical as we all know Merlin is as mental as Rasputin.
