RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Don’t forget too that when the Stade de Gadd got rebuilt nearly 30 years ago the cheapest materials were used including Bulgarian steel was it? Maybe some of these materials reaching the end of their working life. Could be a new or rebuilt Stade de Gadd May be required 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,829 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Specifically reference BBC Scotland's handling of the Celtic Boys Club investigation and compensation, the Assistant Editor and News Editor over the period has been Claire Kelly, daughter of former Celtic Chairman, Kevin Kelly. There are several claims from those involved that Claire Kelly has both suppressed and pulled interviews and items relating to the issue. The most recent one was a lengthy interview conducted with Pat Nevin. He was anxious to reposition himself after a glib contribution from a couple of decades past, where he admitted knowing what was going on but since he was the son of one of the senior coaches, he was left alone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take from that what you will. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take from that what you will. How they get a safety certificate for their North Stand is anyone’s guess. The very narrow passageways between the stand & the cemetery wall are a death trap. plenty for an investigative journalist to get his or her teeth into there I’d have thought 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,829 Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Through the Window. Seventeen years ago, Richard Gordon aka, 'BIG DICK' hosted BBC Radio Scotland's three hour transfer speculation show, 'Through the Window' on the 31st January'07. The transfer window slammed shut at midnight and reporters were stationed at various grounds to report on last hours movement. It was a slow night and the usual suspects resorted to their favourite fall back position, sticking the boot into Rangers. It was several minutes before the witching hour when Big Dick announced he had just received a hilarious transfer related e-mail and he would broadcast it, if his Producer deemed it appropriate. Over the next twenty minutes or so, he returned to the communication and told us he was still waiting for approval. Clearly, Richard Gordon was anxious to broadcast the details. A few moments later he asked for quiet and told of a last minute shock transaction : "Edinburgh Zoo have accepted the transfer of Rangers player, Filip Sebo, they plan to exhibit him". Big Dick, Chris McLaughlin, Kheredine Idessane, ....................... etc all laughed like drains. Dehumanisation of Rangers players and supporters was a big thing at Queen Margaret Drive back in the day. Only an Excuse had the portrayal of a gorilla replete in a Rangers scarf banging a drum in an orange parade, RAB Cosgrove often referred to Rino Gattuso as, "a monkey" or, "the wee chimp" so, why shouldn't Big Dick be denied his particular pleasure of depicting a Rangers player caged in a zoo? Depiction, a picture being worth a thousand words - the Sellik support had a banner at the time - the Darwinian seven stages of the ascent of man. The first two characters were apes on all fours, dragging their knuckles wearing Rangers jerseys. The last character walking upright on two feet was a blond haired, Billy McNeill. Complaints reference Richard Gordon's conduct poured in and, BBC Scotland launched an internal inquiry. It took almost a year and it was accepted the e-mail should NOT have been broadcast. Big Dick turned himself into the victim he said, "it was the worst year of his broadcasting career and he would not want to repeat it". Seventeen years later to the very day and, inclusive of Richard's thirty minute radio bio-pic where he began, "I was raised to absolutely hate Rangers", Richard Gordon remains employed at PQ. I hope this provides a window into the workings of the Gang Hut. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting watching the Northern Irish group Kneecap asking their audience at the Barrowlands if there's any "F*nian c*nts" in attendance. https://www.facebook.com/KNEECAP32/videos/756269482417677/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v I wonder if anyone at PQ CSC will be interested. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,150 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Aye, still not on iPlayer either. I bet that wouldn't have been the case if we'd dropped points. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
