Tam's a Bam.

 

A fortnight past, Tam Cowan utilised the second half of 'Off the Ball' to appeal to the Referee of the next day's live for TV match, Motherwell v Rangers. He wanted to remind Don Robertson of Morelos showing petulance in the League Cup final. He highlighted fly kicks at ra Sellik centre backs and offered the Colombian had a habit of throwing himself to the ground and rolling around, without cause. If you have regular access to the national megaphone, why not use it?

 

The next day, immediately after Alfie scored, he gestured to a grouping of young 'Well fans. A grouping that include members who have regularly pelted Rangers players with coins, lighters, and cups full of various liquids. Don Robertson issues Alfie his second yellow, and first red of the season. Tam got his wish. The fact Tam has not reminded his audience of this particular appeal is probably because he is embarrassed? Further, the PQ Gang Hut have ignored the appeal too. Truthfully, it's there preferred prejudice. 

 

Today, Tam shares presenting duties for the third week with Partick Thistle fan and comedian, Ray Bradshaw. If you expect laughs, you would be better getting yourself down to the next fire at an Orphanage! The second topic raised by Tam Cowan was Stevie G's appeal to tomorrow's Referee, Kevin Clancy. In light of refereeing decisions favouring ra Sellik during the League Cup final, the Rangers manager is asking for strong performances from the officials. Tam thinks this is wrong and condemns Gerrard for his appeal. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

 

As we know, the principle of, 'reinforcement' is uppermost in the Gang Hut. Step forward Big Dick, only several minutes past, he also criticises Gerrard for his appeal to Clancy and has a fly kick at Morelos too, "Gerrard would be as well as appealing to Alfredo Morelos to finally score a goal against Celtic". Here's the thing, it's only several months since the final old firm game of last season. Remember, Lennon gave a press conference before the game at Ibrox, he reminded the Officials particularly of Rangers indiscipline, the number of red cards issued and stated his team would play on the continued expected indiscipline. Neil did not mention the correlation between ra Sellik and the compliant Compliance Officer. The entire Gang Hut were in an unseemly rush to support Lennon's right to make the statement.

 

Let's all hope, Kevin Clancy is not giving Kristoffer Ajer the wink tomorrow.

Yesterday, I posted about my decision to stop funding Separate Entity FC in the early 2000s and how I feel all the better for it.

 

Ditto BBC Scotland (albeit the decision was made far more recently). 

 

26th's term 'gang hut' seems entirely appropriate, given their utterly childish and partisan output.

Same game Cosgrove was red carded. Both feet off the ground and the ball appears to be nowhere near. Though sheep would say Ferguson dived. Right?

 

[der Berliner 3,231]

Trial by Sportscene has been quiet of late, why would someone highlight stuff being thrown at our players or Yahoos stamping on the opposition?

 

The CO has shone with absence, but she was well occupied in clearing the basement of the game from any wrongdoers. Really! 24 (TWENTY-FOUR) cases were handled in December, of which ONE was in relation to the Premiership, i.e. Cosgrove's red card appeal. No time for anything else,as there were vile things that needed to be handled at games involving Gala Fairydean, Heston Rovers, Nithdale Wanderes, Rothes FC, Broxburn, St. Andrew's United and Hearts Ladies.

 

Then again, would WE want to hear of her?

When the BBC want to pay that little bit of extra attention to a Sports story, catching that embryonic spark suggesting a different development; they ask Rob Bonnet to capture the essence. Bonnet is across the broadcast medium, whether it's radio, TV, or social media. A man in his mid sixties, he brings a certain gravitas. The Steven Gerrard phenomenon is of huge interest to the whole of the UK and beyond. In eighteen short months, he has taken the proverbial sleeping giant and provided the necessary electricity to power a title challenge. Twenty-eight European matches have been played in the same time period, only three having been lost. Such stirrings have been noted and are genuinely worthy of Rob Bonnet's attention.

 

Among the BBC nations and regions, etiquette governs the approach. Currently, we are in the fifth year of the PQ Gang Hut managed dispute. They take our license fees without providing a service. Strict adherence to supporting a Journalist who has had his press credentials withdrawn, ensures Rob Bonnet cannot interview Steve Gerrard. Now, Rangers supporters and other interested parties get less value for their license fees. BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Correspondent is Chris McLaughlin. Etiquette demands Rob Bonnet must speak to the Ghoul of Hinshelwood reference Gerrard's burgeoning success.

 

It was his best Grassy Knoll stance, Gerrard has improved Rangers, but Rangers remain a long way behind. Chris illustrated this by mentioning yesterday's victory was only the second at ra Stade de Gadd in this decade. McLaughlin gripped his comfort blanket tightly, pointing out the financial gulf between both clubs, after Rangers 2012 liquidation. I know, there's a contradiction right there; it's our first victory in seven years, and we did not compete in the same division for four of those years. However, to articulate the conclusion of his own rationale means he has to add Rangers supporters' beliefs, and Chris cannot do that. Rangers supporters must NOT have a voice on the national broadcaster.

 

McLaughlin's latest squeeze, Eilidh Barbour has left him, she prefers the taste of axminster. The time has come for PQ to leave Chris behind too.

You would like to think so.

 

But then again, will there be an occasion, perhaps towards the end of the season, where even we might enjoy inviting him back to Ibrox?

[der Berliner 3,231]

You do wonder at which point these impartial reporters will bring up the topic of "strict liability" again, now that the tide is seemingly turning.

[26th of foot 5,827]

The PQ take on ra Sellik forwards is very much rehabilitation of offenders. Leigh Griffiths is a convicted racist, it is NEVER mentioned. Similarly, Leigh's depression is NEVER quantified, only sympathy is offered, quickly followed by an expression of solidarity in Leigh defeating his demons. A quick recovery would benefit ra Sellik, but we are continually reminded the national side would be a beneficiary too. Further, French Eddy has a conviction back in France for possession of a firearm. Maybe Ryan Kent's celebration was alluding to something that PQ's strict adherence to Hollicom PR will NOT allow it to confirm.

 

Compare and contrast with Gang Hut reactions to both Morelos and Defoe. Both Big Dick and Liam McLeod rhyme off the Morelos charge sheet on most occasions. I do not believe they have ever mentioned his charity foundation? A young black man, several thousand miles from home elicits no empathy, let alone sympathy. Dandy Dons players admit to learning lines of Spanish to play with his emotions, the reaction is very much, 'all part of the game'. Dandy Dons fans hold up a banner in Spanish claiming Alfredo's 'Mother is a mattress': time for a snigger. They have had a couple of co-ordinated goes at Defoe too. A model pro for twenty years, and the Gang Hut decide twice that they've discovered he leaves the foot in and indulges in simulation(last season's final old firm game at Ibrox).

 

The Ryan Christie is awkward for some senior members of the Gang Hut, they have eulogised him constantly, some already nominating him for Player of the Season. The Compliance Officer citing the former Dandy Don loanee, is a collective testes of the Gang Hut conscience.
