No doubt in time it will be classed as " friendly fire".

I believe in Army parlance it is called "Blue on Blue", although that hardly seems appropriate  in the circumstance.

No matter, really, homicide is still homicide.

The dimwits today on radio were all saying Celtic had to lose 4 games to lose the league. They can actually lose 2 games against us and draw one other and they can still lose the league. They really are hopeless. Not one of them picked up on this despite them repeating it several times. We pay small fortunes for their salaries, pensions, expenses and this is the best they can do. Utterly inept, over payed and biased.

Have to say I agree with them on this. If sources are to be believed, he groomed this 18 year old boy and was forced to go public after the boy threatened to go to the the papers when he was binned. His family didn't know anything according to friends of his wife and feel betrayed. He's a dirty, predatory cheat who doesn't deserve the effusive praise for "bravery" he's getting and I'm glad someone in the media is willing to say so after days of celebration. That's where my praise of the the BBC will end on this thread though ?

Framing the Narrative.

 

Listening to DrStu' on Saturday, this man of principle came across as a Victorian/Edwardian circus side show Barker. Roll up, roll up to see the Bearded Lady, the Boy with Two Heads, and the Duplicitous Cnut. An excited and garrulous DrStu' announced an exclusive twenty minute interview with Craig Whyte. Lending authenticity to a Fraudster punting his tome, DrStu' brought 'gravitas to bear(s)' shouting, "everything in this book has full legal clearance". To be fair, Tam Cowan pricked such overbearing pomposity by saying, "ah still don't trust a word he says".

 

Into the Bear Pit is a turd and DrStu' was eagerly willing to apply the necessary polish. In just over quarter of an hour he repeated the line about legal clearance on three occasions. I think this was to avoid the Jum Spence troubling broadcast? You know the one that led to his second leaving(some say sacking) of PQ? He claimed the Scots courts should recover monies from Rangers through the auspices of the Proceeds of Crime Act. Jum informed the listenership he knew this to be the case because he lectured in the subject at some Technical College. Jum left after it was pointed out no crime had been committed.

 

I will not trouble fellow Rangers supporters by questions offered to Craig Shyster, but the deflation award goes to Tam Cowan, "that highland castle you owned, how long did it take you to inflate it before the kids could bounce on it"? DrStu' was convinced he had achieved a scoop, surely akin to the Orwell Prize awarded to the RTC Blog, "aye Tam, who in this building will be bristling that we got the Craig Whyte exclusive"? Tam repeated, "ah cannae believe a word he says".

 

It's the continuity, or lack of it. After telling us last week, that Michael Stewart was one of the best football pundits ever, he kept his fellow nationalist's name alive by wondering what the ginger headed guy would say to Craig Whyte? He does the same for Jum Spence on a regular basis. Show me the evidence is now redundant, there's been half-a-dozen arrests of other clubs' fans on racism charges. Combine that with Alison McConnell's summing up of Mark Walters' debut at Sellik Park, "so Walters had a banana thrown at him". Modern Scotland would be framed in a poor light. 

 

When does this man of principle take responsibility for the environment he helps to actively create? He keeps barking, others pay the price.

Listened to that and only reinforced Whyte was a gullible shyster who got shafted by better skilled deviants and he is not to be trusted. Fair do’s to Tam Cowan. He called it out for what it was. Cosgrove came across as a complete erse.
 

Judges as high as UKSC and far more credible authorities than the likes of Whyte, Cosgrove, Spence, English, Gordon , or moon howling celtic and other rival fans have made clear reference to the differentiation between club and company.

 

HMRC, BDO, football authorities, ASA, etc. QCs and law lords have all endorsed difference, and for Spence’s benefit a QC specialising in tax and the UKSC have explicitly made clear no criminality involved with EBTs. Not sure what ‘former law lecturer’ Spences legal credentials actually are but it’s just as well for him and any potential clients he became a journalist and not a proper lawyer. 
 

BBC Sportsound can’t even calculate how many games Celtic need to win to confirm they are champions. I’m not taking their opinions or insinuations seriously, nor am I concerned with Craig Whyte’s view on anything - unless I decide to embark on a life of greed, lies, deceit and general immorality.

The only surprise in any of this is there are so many people still listening to Off The Ball or anything else from BBC Scotland's sports clique. 

 

Nothing in this world could persuade me to put myself through the bigoted tedium of OTB or Sportsound. I remember thinking it was shite back in the 1990's, which was probably the last time I listened to it.
