The week got off to an inauspicious start when Hugh Keevins decided to sleekitly try to stir up some trouble. His piece in the Sunday Mail was redolent of Jabba at his worst. Accompanied by a picture that showed Peter Lawwell looking as sinister as possible, Keevins suggested that Lawwell would have the 'casting vote' in deciding whether or not The Messiah, Dave King, was declared a 'fit and proper person.' The rest of the article was full of 'what ifs' and the usual 'bad as each other' stuff, but his headline and its picture would have done their job. Don't these characters accept any responsibility for their actions?
Of course, the blogs were in overdrive at this possibility. The usual suspects came crawling out to blame Peter Lawwell for everything. Administration, liquidation, having to go into the lower leagues; all the fault of Peter Lawwell. They conveniently forget, as always, that Lawwell and others were instrumental in trying to shoehorn their new team straight into the SPL. They don't like facts getting in the way of their paranoia. 'Conflict of interest!' they shout; demanding that Lawwell should not be allowed to be a party to any decision about The Messiah. Strangely, they don't mention whether Campbell Ogilvie and his EBT should be allowed to take part in this decision-making process.
On Monday, all hell broke loose with the news that certain shareholders want to put forward a resolution at the Celtic AGM that the club should complain to UEFA about the favourable treatment handed shown to Bisto FC after the liquidation process. The matter is also brought up about the licence to play in Europe granted to Rangers in the 2011/12 season. It seems likely that the proposal will be defeated but the Bisto Kida are, of course, up in arms.
The supporters of Bisto FC, naturally, blame Peter Lawwell for the whole thing. Their story is that Celtic is terrified that the arrival of The Messiah will help Bisto FC become a serious challenge. So, not only is Lawwell going to stop The Messiah from getting on the board but he is now trying to destroy poor old Bisto. You've got to laugh when they say that Celtic fans are obsessed when the Bisto Kids are currently writing to the EU, the Scottish Government and even Historic Scotland to cause trouble for Celtic!
Others say they welcome an investigation. In their fevered minds, any inquiry would also extend to the business about Torbett and Celtic Boys Club. How they make that out is anybody's guess! It seems that this topic is the only one they can ever think of to try to score points over Celtic, even though it says more about their mentality, exulting in such a vile crime, than it ever does about Celtic!
And then we come to the AGM of Bisto FC itself. Not only has Paul Murray been granted a postponement of the meeting but the judge obviously accepted the scathing indictments of the Bisto board by the lawyer of Murray et al. Bisto FC also now have to pay the court costs; can they afford them? I had to laugh at the name of the judge: Lord Tyre! Bisto FC could do with him just now, bumping along on three wheels as they are.
And what, pray, is Loony Leggat's take on all these developments? I don't think he has even noticed. Forgetting that he promised to post his blog on Tuesday and Friday, he posed yesterday, claiming that Jack Irvine was looking to pay a bribe to somebody in South Africa to get that government's secret file on The Messiah. Leggat claims that this comes from the same source that exposed the 'John Greig is thick' e-mail. Wasn't that Charlotte Fakes? Somehow I don't think anyone is going to pay any attention to the PSA on this. He's now just pissing his 100 proof urine in the wind.
But what really ruffled the feathers of the Bisto Kids at the weekend was a duck. The 'Rangers Megastore' online was selling a selection of rubber ducks in different team colours, which, it claimed, would make great Christmas gifts. What drove the Bisto Kids quackers was that, included in this collection of synthetic water fowl, was a green duck with a Celtic badge on it! How could they?
'Just goes to show, some people at Ibrox know nothing about our club or support,' said one contributor to the debate, amid calls for angry e-mails and boycotts. Hilariously, they call them 'bigot ducks!' Personally, I think the webbed feet fit in well with this in-bred support, although bills are a sore point for them! No doubt they'll be complaining if their kids learn Five Little Ducks at school!
'What's gauin' oan wi' the Megastore 'n 'at? Imagin' lettin' Fenian ducks oan it. An' ye know what thae Fenian ducks ur like; waantin' thur weans gauin' tae separate ponds 'n 'at an' hatin' British ducks 'n 'at. Jist wait tae the Twelfth! Naw, no' the Glorious Twelfth; Ah go intae hidin' then. Ah mean when it's time fur the Duck a l' Orange Waddle, when wae remember the fallen at the Dairy's walls. An' remember boays, it's the same waater; it's only the holdin' pond that's chinged!'
Have to laugh at the rangers megastore and their bigot ducks! It was all peter lawwells doing was it not!!?
