It doesn't sound like sodomy to me, but I bow to your ex-Army expertise in such matters. 

Regimental traditions die hard.

 

Although, I suspect Jum's experience is probably more in keeping with Lochee fashion trends?

I am no expert, but I'd hazard that that is the first time the words "Lochee" and "fashion" have appeared in the same sentence.

I reckon those two words, combined with 'crimes' and 'against', will have been uttered more than once.

"Lochee against fashion crimes"?

Sounds like a Courier headline, right enough.

The Black Dog Trio.

 

We have to admire the Hollicom masterstroke that was Leigh Griffiths first disappearance. Strong rumours had Leigh in serious debt, involved in uncontrolled gambling, and on the gear? The provided narrative was Leigh suffered from the black dog. The tsunami of both sympathy and empathy was overwhelming. Politicians, fellow footballers, celebrities, .... etc wanted to be seen standing with Leigh as he faced his greatest battle. His manager, Neil Lennon had admitted his own battles with depression and he simpered it was okay to feel the way one does, and was prepared to stay strong with Leigh. 

 

In undue haste, another troubled soul lent his shoulder to the wheel. Breathlessly, tugging on the Hollicom jersey, the Herald's football Journo, Neil Cameron echoed the words of the quiet man of Lurgan. Cameron had fought depression too, had been at the mercy of the unrelenting snarling of the black dog. Holyrood was collectively cowed by Leigh's courageous endurance, days limped by as member prayed for the thumbheid's mental health. It took six months but prayers were answered, Griffiths re-emerged, blinking into the welcoming light. The national team would be the beneficiary.

 

As referred, Alison McConnell broke the story on a Saturday night, discussion has been muted, but Hollicom is akin to rust, never sleeps. Leigh was part of a most supportive trio, yesterday he realised he was alone. Neil Cameron took time out from serving breakfast to midge bitten tourists at his Isle of Skye B and B, long enough to utilise his Herald column to tell Leigh the patience has evaporated. Such intervention was one Neil withdrawing support, the two came this morning as Lennon castigated Griffiths. Leigh is giving depressives a bad name. Currently, his status amounts to a stray hound.

 

Now, Leigh should be aware of the precedents. Throwing oneself from Bothwell Brig' has been tried before by Paul Cooney. The Polis stopped and offered him a lift to the Erskine. Then, there's Gary MacKay-Steven's swim in the River Kelvin when sexual identity became too much. You do not want to be hanging to a rock in the mid-flow. No, Leigh take my advice, you have been abandoned, Hollicom no longer has your back. Succumb to the warm waters of getting back on the gear.

Not so fast, 26th. Right enough the two barking Neils have failed to trap as expected but what about McConnell? The fat lady has yet to sing.

Oh, don't worry about Alison; she has her Hollicom mouth full.

The Petroltank Cup?

 

In the week of announcement that Chris Sutton has joined Michael Stewart and John Hartson as Sellik TV's new commentary team, the big Englishman has once again been described as, 'cheeky'. Chris decided to hide his sneering disappointment at Sellik's poor performances in French friendlies, by being disrespectful to a couple of football sponsors. Veolia put up the cup that Rangers won, in opposition to Nice, Lyon, and ra Sellik. Violia are I believe a waste management firm, but still they paid for clubs to travel, their accommodation, and a trophy. Chris utilised his razor-sharp wit to say, "Rangers can place that trophy beside their petroltank cup".

 

Petrofac are a service provider to the oil industry. Again, like Violia, they provided much needed sponsorship to Scottish football at a time when investment is hard to come by. Being disrespectful is okay, if you are sticking it on the H-u-ns and you know Hollicom has got your back. The Green Brigade are anti-racism protesters and activists, Chris is cheeky. Chris has an opportunity this coming season, he can come off ra Sellik TV gantry, travel 20-30 yards, where both Shifty McGifty and Rod the Fraud Mckenzie sit in the Main Stand. Those two are Chair and Secretary of the SPFL Board, he can ask if they have a sponsor going forward with the SPFL?

 

Now, his Sellik TV colleague, Michael Stewart was at pains during his last BBC Scotland appearance(seven weeks ago) to tell the listeners that Murdoch, Neil, and Rod were all throughly decent guys. They won't mind Chris sticking his big nose into their half time pie and bovril? Hollicom can arrange it, Tom Boyd can host the love-in. It's the cheeky description that grates; from memory, Chris is a declared bankrupt, an adulterer, and absent father. Hollicom smoke and mirrors are wonderful.

 

Last week, Damian Duff did a piece in the press about his time as a 16 year old apprentice at Blackburn Rovers. It was the time of Rovers being crowned Premiership kings and playing in the Champions League. Shearer and Sutton were the club's front two. He talks of the hazing that came the way of apprentices, remarked in today's world some of what happened was worthy of jail time. Cleaning boots and toilets, scrubbing dressing room and shower floors, and carrying the hampers. Duff singled out Sutton for being their main tormentor. The example he provided was of Sutton crapping in a plastic bag and leaving it lying on the dressing room floor. Now, I understand what Hollicom mean by, 'cheeky'.

 

Another beneficiary of Hollicom-speak last week, was Glasgow City Council employee, Stephen McIntosh. His duties include raising the Saltire above the City Chambers every morning. He decided to swap the national standard for a Sellik nine-in-a-row flag, and hoisted the pysh-stained rhag above George Square. One would expect nationalist Convenor, Susan Aitken to be anguished at the relegation of the beloved Saltire? No, she chose to go with the Hollicom interpretation, 'flag-gag'.

Lost in France.

 

Tonight's game finished PSG 4 ra Sellik 0.

 

Sellik TV's Michael Stewart was on message, Edouard was relishing the experience, Ajer remains a £50 million player, and the Ref' was lenient with some of the PSG tackles on Christie.

 

Michael did not explain why PSG decided to lock out the tiny traveling band of Yahoos?

 

Still, four going on seven or eight; superb display of formation social distancing from the green'ngrey hooped horrors.

French lessons continue, but none, so far, perhaps, of the type that the Lurgan lard barrel anticipated.

 

Still, to be fair, 

"Paris vaut bien une massacre",

as Henry of Navarre would have advised, if he had been there at full time.
