Wonder which inhabitant of the PQ Gang Hut lost the battle to put the round of post match drinks in the Bern Novotel on their expenses claim, "...mine is maxed out!" one was heard to proclaim, "Rob's being Rob" another uttered in reference to Rob Mclean.

 

If any PQ accountant is looking in things were much cheaper in the other side of the building in the Ibis and Ibis Budget, but hey it's only us licence fee payers money eh?

Twenty-five years ago, most juicy Glasgow gossip was published in the Herald, under the auspices of, Tom Shields Diary'. Those days, Tom Shields himself was still playing with a straight bat. His second decade, he became both a professional Yahoo and Catalan. When he left the Herald, he spent five years as a Sellik View columnist, under the moniker, "Tim Shields Diary'. Anyways, it's January and he has a lengthy piece on the actions of a young cub reporter at BBC Scotland. This is when Beeb Scotland was based at Hamilton Drive in Glasgow's west end. There were a dozen restaurants in and around Great Western Road, all selling Table D'hote menus at a penny under the Beeb's expenses limit.

 

The Beeb Scotland football department had all gone out for Christmas lunch in late December in one of the aforementioned brasseries. Rob McLean had been charged with collecting the weekly fivers from thirty-odd colleagues and was as such, responsible for settling the bill after a particular boozy, several hour affair. Shields lived in Hillhead and the restaurant proprietor let him know the details, particularly the bit where he was owed well over a grand. According to the Diary, McLean was back in, begging to be allowed to pay the bill over a period of several weeks.

 

To think, Rob was adept at handing out sneering penny lectures to Rangers supporters on financial integrity?

Dog Whistling Dixie.

 

This morning's 'Call Kaye' on BBC Radio Scotland had a stand-in presenter, I think it was Laura Maxwell? Being topical, they had an hour's phone-in on Racism in Football, last night's events in Sofia to the fore? Well, not really, it was a convenient hook to hang Rangers. After the introduction, citing Bulgaria; it was brought home to the racism(sectarianism) charges brought against Rangers by UEFA/FARE. Callers were invited to contact the show and 'Call it Out'.

 

Of course, 'Call it Out' is the organisation formed by Angela Haggerty and Jeanette Findlay in the wake of Cannon Tom White being spat upon, outside his parish church, St Alphonsus on London Road, the Barras. The Dog Whistle worked, the first few callers were keen to equate Rangers fans singing sectarian songs with racism. A caller wanted to talk about Morelos and the racism he has faced, quickly let go in favour of some other caller, more on message with 'Call it Out'.

 

The conclusion to the item was Humza Yousaf, our very own Scottish Justice Minister who managed to loose all the evidence against nine fellow Sellik supporters, charged with hanging two effigies from the roof of Sellik Park's North Stand. One effigy had a Rangers scarf, the other had an orange collarette, both hung for over an hour above a dozen KAH(Kill All H-u-ns) flags. Humza promised strong action if and when racism is called out.

 

Kevin Clancy is appointed Referee for Tynecastle.

 

PQ did not discuss Kevin Clancy NOT being appointed to officiate at any Scottish fixture last weekend. It was his own fault, he did not award Sellik two penalties at Easter Road and Peter's will cannot be opposed. Kevin will be given another opportunity at redemption this coming Sunday and Peter will be watching. The Gang Hut expect no less of their Leader. Peter moves in mysterious ways, and that is NOT up for discussion. You can whistle Dixie.

I wondered how long it would take BBC Scotland to wallow in this particular shit, unburdened by any sense of hypocrisy. Barely 24 hours it would appear. Familiarly depressing and utterly pathetic.

 

Let's just keep winning. That's all that matters. The closer we get to 55 the more fevered their rantings will become. Fuck them.
