What, in the name of ****, is that nationalist prick Ricky Foster wearing on this evening's Sportscene!?

You have to go with the times. It’s not like this any more. Polished, groomed, shirted and suited with clear diction. Fossils (Takes one to know one, of course)

Paddy Turner the great white hope he was a bit like some of the plonkers that masquerade as players at Ibrox these day , an enjoyable little clip listening to Peter Thompson

"the sooky, sooky  Rangers orientated Scottish football media".

 

Tam 'the Token' Cowan has just uttered the above in reaction to the story of Sky Sports, Elidh Barbour closing the show yesterday be saying, "that is the last old firm game of the season and Rangers fans have the close season bragging rights". Roger Mitchell(remember him) led ra outraged Yahoo charge demanding Sky sack her because his green'n'grey hooped heroes are about to secure another Treble and, that is real bragging rights. Token Tam supposed Elidh was reading an auto cue or, was anxious to remain within, "the sooky, sooky Rangers orientated Scottish football media".

 

Tam is the very epitome of the sooky, sooky Rangers orientated Scottish football media. He moonlights on PLZ Soccer as 'the Token'. Former Radio Snyde frontman, Peter(M'Guire)Martin founded PLZ Soccer after being sacked by Snyde. He and ra Bhoy in Corduroy were ruminating on the Thursday evening of the 2010 General Election, speculating on how the then Scottish managers would cast their vote? The show broadcast between 18.00hrs and 20.00hrs when the polls were open. As we know, broadcast laws do NOT allow political speculation during the period polling booths are open(06.00hrs-22.00hrs).

 

Peter McGuire hail hails from Newarthill, he changed his name to Martin because of anti-RC prejudice when he began in journalism. His first decade was spent in Edinburgh in the Hootsman grouping and Radio Forth. Meanwhile back in the west, he was hosting ra Sellik View roadshow. Paul Cooney formalised the gig bringing him on to Radio Snyde. After 15 years or so and his sacking he founded PLZ Soccer - Peter, Linzi and, Zoe - names of himself, wife and, daughter. It is just another Sellik supporters Podcast on YouTube. The main participants for the decade have been :

 

Peter Martin - Sellik fanatic

Tam McManus - Sellik fanatic

Hugh MacDonald - Sellik fanatic

Alison McConnell - Sellik fanatic

Alan Rough - played for Sellik

Tam Cowan - the Token.

 

Peter's bye-line is you will always receive an opinion from PLZ which interpretated is you will always receive a Sellik supporting opinion from PLZ. Just last week, PLZ banged on about the unique situation of Rangers not conceding a league penalty at Ibrox this season. Tam McManus was spluttering that the situation was an impossibility with the rest nodding sagely. A Scottish club has already gone throughout a league season twice before without conceding a home penalty - the same club; Sellik did it as recently as season 2014-15.

 

Anyways, Tam the Token moves the show on to 'Well centre forward, Kevin van Veen's future. We are told he is leaving the claret and amber this coming close season and Tam wonders on the valuation? He goes around the panel of RAB Cosgrove and Journo, Alan Pattullo. RAB declares the Dutchman to be top end English Championship class and worthy of a £6.5million bid. Pattollo is more conservative in his £1.5 million valuation. As we know, RAB hates to be portrayed as lazy and ignorant; thus he comes back with, "my valuation is based upon the Morelos calculator". Of course the sooky sooky Rangers orientated Scottish football media within PQ rushed to inform RAB that the valuation of Morelos was based upon his 29 European goals for Rangers? How many Euro goals has van Veen notched RAB- petty and ill informed.

 

Surely, it is time for RAB and Tam to expose any members of the Lap-Top Loyal RSC lurking within PQ corridors?

Big Dick is back on the Viagra?

 

 

Yesterday's 1-3 victory for Rangers at Easter Road was a reasonably comfortable affair, the goal we lost was in the ninety-third minute. The stats' agree, Rangers had two thirds possession, three times as many attempts on goal and, out passed Hibs three to one. The Hibees in attendance agreed, after Todd Cantwell notched Rangers third, the race to walk away began. The blond haired Englishman has scored in Rangers last three games against Aberdeen, Sellik and, Hibernian. He has become a fast favourite of the Rangers support, regularly voted the 'Man of the Match' award.

 

BBC Radio Scotland's Richard Gordon disagrees, he embraces a different narrative. Big Dick's frustrations grew and grew and by half-time he was ready to explode. It was a bit muddled, scattergun in approach. Firstly, he got after Hibs Keeper, David Marshall, "he should have saved Tavernier's free kick". He was surprised Tav' had the composure to flight the ball, "after Youan running rings around the Rangers full back during the first forty-five". His seethe reached it's zenith and he ejaculated, "it wasn't even a free kick in the first place, we have seen it before, Cantwell jumped into Eagan-Riley". The afterglow was a reinforcement, "Cantwell went down easy, he's got history".

 

Where to start? The Referee, Andy Walker and, Jack Ross all said it was a clear two handed foul on the Ranger but don't let professionals get in the way of another hate-filled agenda being set out by Richard Gordon. Big Dick has history, a ton of it. When we defeated Motherwell last month, the Aberdonian went into a rant, "Todd Cantwell has set out to cheat and hoodwink the Referee". The 'Well player in the melee had back handed Cantwell on the side of his face. BBC Scotland gave 'Well Gaffer, Stuart Kettlewell and First Team Coach, Richard Foster two appearances on Sportscene to back up Big Dick. At the end of that week, Kettlewell issued a statement agreeing with decisions made during the game, after a meeting with Crawford Allan.

 

It is some 15 years past when BBC Radio Scotland did a forty minute biography on Big Dick and embarrassed that he had taken the dosh to don the Rangers blazer and tie to present a number of Rangers annual videos during nine-in-a-row years; he began the piece by stating, "I was raised to absolutely hate Rangers". He has been flashing those credentials ever since, he wanted Filip Sebo caged at Edinburgh Zoo and exhibited. He argued the infamous Simpson tackle on Durrant produced two victims, then went on and on about the trials of the Aberdeen player compared to two years out with injury. Remember, Neil Simpson was only booked for that lunge and, he had history. Finally, when PQ would not allow him to vent, he turned to his column in the Aberdeen Press and Journal, his bitterness dripped from the page.

 

Gordon has found the targeting of a Rangers player and constantly reinforcing his narrative to be successful. Of course, he would be the first to acknowledge the eager help received by Michael Stewart in this regard. Both Ryan Jack and Alfredo Morelos have been subjected to the hate. These two Rangers received Big Dick's concentration and he always ended it with, 'he has history' because he had worked hard to build the history. Morelos received 8 red cards, four were rescinded and, Jack received five reds, two of which were rescinded. Cantwell is Big Dick's next target.

 

The Cove Rangers PRO is utilising his Sunday slot on BBC Radio Scotland to vent his preferred prejudice, it is time the Club did something to remove the wee blue pills from Richard's prescription.

[Scott7 5,223]

On a point of information, Mr 26th and in fairness to wee Dickie loon, he did not go so far as to say Sebo should be caged and he was not the instigator of the incident. He was, however, guilty as an accessory and is deservedly liable for the same punishment as the producer who set him up, namely excoriation for all time.

 

I’ve just seen the highlights from Easter Road. The commentator wasn’t named. I think it was Squeelum McLeod. His preliminary observations contained remarks that Rangers “would be in for a game today” and “Alfredo Morelos nowhere to be seen as his Ibrox career comes to an inglorious end”.

 

As the teams came out of the tunnel he yelped “Seven years to the day since Hibs’ victory over Rangers in the SCF”. That event was referenced several times during the match ending with the scorer of the Hibs goal accoladed as “one of the 2016 heroes”.

 

Throughout, during attacking play, McLeod’s voice trembled either with excitement if it were Hibs and anxiety if it were Rangers.

 

He’s a wee scamp, so he is. How does a bloke with a voice like that get to commentate on the wireless?

Scott7,

 

As I remember the incident, it occurred during one of BBC Radio Scotland's, 'Through the Window' broadcasts.

 

It was the evening of the last day of the January'07 transfer window. Big Dick Chaired from 22.00hrs until 01.00hers, he had several reporters reporting from locations on the latest moves before the window slammed shut. There was a couple of hours of broadcasting left on a slowish evening when Dick announced he had received an e-mail which was hilarious. He added he would have to clear it with his Producer before broadcast. It became a tease, the other contributors were anxious to hear the communication.

 

Just after a midnight round up of events and moves, he declared his Producer had cleared the e-mail :

 

"Edinburgh Zoo have accepted the transfer of Rangers player, Filip Sebo. They plan to exhibit him".

 

Richard and his PQ cronies laughed like the proverbial drains.

 

I related the incident on the then FollowFollow forum, it was picked up by two brothers, regular posters who happened to be Solicitors. They took Beeb Scotland Richard Gordon the whole way on their internal disciplinary system. After several months, Big Dick apologised for any offence although, emphasised none was intended. Further, he stated it was the worst experience of his professional life.

 

BBC Scotland refused to name the Producer who okayed the broadcast.

[Scott7 5,223]

While on the distasteful subject of Gordon, can I record my personal pleasure at his and his rancid club’s relegation?

[26th of foot 5,845]

The Sound of Silence.

 

Yesterday evening at 17.000hrs, Glasgow Royal Infirmary Accident and Emergency announced a Major Incident Alert. A bus shelter at Trongate, Glasgow had collapsed because a couple of dozen Yahoos were atop celebrating their team's Championship victory. Ten of those were taken by Ambulance for treatment at the A and E. Just like last year, Trongate had been closed and, surrounding streets were covered in broken glass, urine and, vomit. Businesses were closed and those living in the Merchant City were advised by Police Scotland to remain in their homes.

 

There will be a considerable cost and if the Policy Advisor to Susan Aitken, Gerry Braiden has sobered up, he will be along to tell us the cost to the Glasgow city community charge payer? Gerry will have fully consulted the Chairs of the Barrowlands, Calton, and, Merchant City Residents Association. BBC Scotland's 'The Sunday Show' hosted by Martin Geissler and Fiona Stalker will spend the first 30 minutes of the show relating the angst of Glasgow's emergency and volunteer services wading through the flowing blood and broken glass.

 

I tuned into PQ TV at 10 am and Martin spent twenty minutes interviewing the Green Party Minister, Lorna Slater. Since the content of the head to head was her Deposit Return Scheme and the city centre was covered in broken glass, you would expect Martin to make the appropriate connection? No, no and thrice no; BBC Scotland did NOT mention the city centre mayhem. The show is broadcast live from the PQ atrium and, usually there are a dozen or so souls wandering around in the background, NOT this morning. I can only imagine PQ CSC were in recovery?

 

How things have changed? Two years past, Rangers won their 55th Championship, their first title in a decade. An element of the Rangers support walked into the city centre across the Squinty Bridge and we were given minute by minute updates on the trials of Police Scotland in their attempts to contain the celebrations. The Sunday Show was hosted by Gary Robertson. The Clootie City Author spent twenty minutes venting his anger at the plethora of Union flags present in George Square. A voluntary medic told of being constantly targeted by marauding Rangers supporters as he attempted to sow others back together.

 

Off the Ball began with a primed RAB Cosgrove after, "very good friend of the show", Gerry Braiden had briefed him. In a minute long rant about mayhem and union flags (again), he culminated with, "Rangers supporters were simply a disgrace". Today's Off the Ball has begun with RAB wanting to talk about Ross County and Killie and, the ensuing play-off game against Partick Thistle. RAB is the voice of new, modern Scotland - Hello darkness my old friend.

[compo 6,208]

As far as I know they had the blessing of Glasgow city council whom closed the roads and this celebration was joined by umpteen half pished councillors from the council at George square
