WHINE KAMPF
Hateley decides to have a go at Dundee Utd fans over their plan to wear Craig Whyte masks. He calls it 'foolish and inflammatory.' Strangely whenever Ibrox has rung to the strains of 'Up tae wur knees' or 'Why don't you go home' he has had nothing whatever to say. Hypocrisy doesn't even begin to describe it.
Anyway, Hateley mentions that 'Rangers fans have taken a stance over the belief United wronged the club last summer.' Naively I expected a balanced article after this sentence but was sadly disappointed. Hateley goes on to let us know, in no uncertain terms, that, as far as he is concerned, this 'belief' is perfetly justified. 'The boycott of this tie is something I back' he says, without saying why. 'United’s relationship with Rangers is already at breaking point after their stance which denied the Ibrox side SPL status after their implosion.' Ah, so now we have it; United is to blame, or partly to blame, for Rangers being in the Third Division!
'...that should be the end of the bad blood' he says about the boycott, 'We should be moving on.' In other words, United and its fans should be apologising to Green for not allowing Rangers Mk II into the SPL.
This blame game is getting more and more ridiculous but also more than a bit sinister. There were no calls for a boycott when they were playing ICT and Motherwell were welcomed to Ibrox with open arms. Apparently not all teams in the SPL are being blamed for what happened to Rangers.
'The Enemies of Rangers' seem to be confined to just three teams: Celtic, Hibernian and Dundee United. There is no evidence whatsoever that these three teams conspired to disallow the new Rangers into the SPL. Indeed, these three teams could not have done what they are accused of all on their own. So why are these three the ones that stand accused? It seems totally random until you find out, as many a raging, slavering Rangers supporter will tell you on football forums, that Dundee United were once called Dundee Hibernian. See a pattern emerging?
Every Rangers apologist, from Hateley to everyone in our Fourth Estate to Traynor to the lunatic fringe of David Leggat, seems to be going along with this idea. Basically they are trying to divide football supporters along sectarian lines. They are desperately trying to make this into appearing like some kind of Catholic agenda against the 'indigenous' Protestant Scots. Now, the majority of Protestants in this country could not care less about any of this kind of hatred, rightly seeing it as something that belongs in the distant past; there are enough morons about, however, who lap up this kind of stuff like mother's milk.
Leggat's blog is not just about the Rangers sob story but how our country is gradually being taken over by terrorist-supporting Catholics of Irish descent. According to him our media is already in the clutch of such people and the whole of Scottish Protestantism is at risk. Such scaremongering is straight out of Mein Kampf and would do little to persuade anyone of reasonable intelligence. The problem is, though, that it's not just Leggat. Have a read at his blog and then look at some of the nonsense being perpetrated through our media; you'll see it in an entirely new light!
Worryingly, Leggat also includes the referendum on Scottish independence in his catalogue of conspiracy. Our newspapers haven't stooped quite that low yet, but give them time!
It remains to be seen how far this agenda of bigotry will be pushed. If the projected league reconstruction goes through then no doubt we will be treated to more and more of the same!
And before anyone gets riled about Craig Whyte masks, they should read what Hateley had to say this time last year:
