RETURN OF THE SCOTSMAC

Loony Leggat has returned from his short sabbatical/drinking session and tossed the cat in amongst the pigeons straight away! He has a go, not at his usual targets, but at Bill McMurdo! Apparently the PSA has decided that he now hates Charles Green with a vengeance and, consequently, given McMurdo's consistent support of Auld Hughie, he hates McMurdo as well! Oh, and he's still got it in for Imran Ahmad!

Wait a minute, though, he decides to mitigate things by saying that McMurdo is a 'good, decent and honourable man.' That sounds suspiciously like Mark Antony talking about Brutus in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar! And then comes the clincher; McMurdo is a 'Christian!' In other words, anyone not a Christian cannot be good, decent or honourable. Imran Ahmad, perhaps? It would certainly seem that way, since 'Christian' is a word rarely, if ever, seen on Leggat's blog. Usually the word he uses is 'Presbyterian.' So the finger is obviously pointing at Ahmad; ie a Muslim can't be trusted!

He spends most of the rest of his blog decrying Ahmad and accusing him of being disingenuous. Apparently Ahmad, and his lawyer, were unhappy about something Leggat said previously; something that the PSA sees nothing wrong with:

'It is inconceivable that anyone brought up in the teaching of the Christian faith could have anything to do with the reptile that is Imran Ahmad. For Imran Ahmad’s values are not those of Christianity, or any other religious faith which teaches about the wrongness of bearing false witness. Imran Ahmad, a proven guttersnipe, a low life piece of scum'

It's incredible that Leggat sees nothing wrong in this. Of course, he resorts to the usual bigot's tactic of accusing the victim of his attack of being oversensitive and playing the race card! The truth is that in Leggat's alcohol-induced stupor he thinks he's still in the 1970s, where it was deemed acceptable to be as racist as you wanted. The IRA's bombing campaign was at its height, so the Irish were seen as fair game for comedians, bigoted bullies and even the police. Leggat thinks those rules still apply and that in the aftermath of 9/11 Muslims can be victimised with impunity!

He then comes out with possibly the most risible comment he has ever uttered:

'as anyone who knows me well will testify, I loathe, hate and detest racism in any shape or form.'

I take it he doesn't see the irony in that! Considering all the disgusting things he's said about Irish people on his blog the man, if you can call him such, is a racist bigot pure and simple. If your stomach can handle it, have a look at his book about the Kennedy assassination. I can't remember what it's called. I just tried to find it on Amazon but it seems to have disappeared! Tellingly, however, below his other books was an advert for Sanex odour spray! Anyway, at the start of his book he has an Irishman, who he describes as small, dirty, sneaky-looking and with greasy hair! Nothing racist, though, you understand!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, they're all up in arms at what they see as the different treatment meted out to Hearts and Dunfermline. Maybe they don't read the small print, or, more probably, they can't read at all, but each case is decided on its merits. There is no point in fining a club that has no money whatsoever to pay the fine. As to transfer embargos; again, each is judged on its own merit. They seem to forget the abject cheating carried out by Whyte in using tax money to keep the team going. Of course, they're all so convinced that they've been hard-done-by that they can't help squealing about anything and everything.

And they're still trying to make out that Celtic is in financial difficulties and that some kind of under-the-table deal went on with GCC. I think more to the point is Duff and Phelps's handing over of the keys to Charles Green for £5m. Was there an independent valuation of the assets? Were other buyers for the assets sought? The whole thing smells to high heaven!

Everything, meanwhile, at Ibrox is rosy; or so they would have us believe. Everything is being managed fine, money is not a problem and Ersatz FC is raking it in with their ten-bob tickets. Then Bill McMurdo informs us that Green is on his way back. Why? Well, he, and other shareholders, are unhappy about the high wages of all the backroom staff and the way money is being thrown about. That's weird. I thought everything was great and Ersatz FC was fiscally sound!

Finally, Leggat reports today that Ersatz FC has spit the dummy over folk on Radio Clyde calling them a new team.
They've gone in the complete huff, banning them from Ibrox and refusing to advertise on Clyde. Aw, diddums, didda big, bad man say ye were a new team, den? Leggat also says that, on phone-ins, Ersatz supporters are usually cut off before they can make a reasoned argument. It's the way he tells them! Have you ever heard a 'reasoned argument' from one of these folk? Usually it consists of, 'We arra peeppill so fuck off ya feenyin bastard!'

Late Call, with the Reverend David Leggat
