PETTY PETITIONS

In amongst a load of waffle about matters in the boardroom not being any of his business, Sooperally has voiced his support of the current board. Unlike his usual noises of support, this one actually has some substance. Sooper actually owns nearly 3% of the shares, which might not seem a lot but every vote is going to count at the AGM. If he does vote the way he says he is then at least he can hold his head up as the only one that hasn't stabbed anyone in the back, unlike his mentor, Mr Dignity himself!

Apparently he's been getting dog's abuse on some of the Bisto forums for promising his support to the board. Not that this should worry Sooperally, or the board, unduly. The ones calling for change might make a lot of noise on the internet but it's not as if all the Bisto Kids have been at Ibrox screaming to get the board out. Despite what Auld Pishy says, it seems as if there's hardly anybody supporting the Requisitioners. Besides, even if there were thousands of them they've got no say in what goes on at the AGM.

The internecine quarrels among the Bisto Kids, meanwhile, are reaching ridiculous levels. Some bam has started up an online petition to get rid of the Rangers Supporters Trust. As one of his own pointed out, who the hell is he going to send the petition to? If he gets plenty of signatories is he just going to send it to the RST with a note saying, 'Get it right up yez'?

Speaking of petitions, remember the e-petition demanding that the Government debate leaks within HMRC about the Rangers' tax cases? They were all banging on about it, encouraging each other to get on the government website to sign it and even providing details of how to sign it for other people. 100,000 signatures are required before anyone will even look at it. The closing date was yesterday, so how many signatures did they get? Da da da da da da da! They gained the grand total of 42,290 names. So even with all that cheating and skullduggery they got nowhere near achieving their aim. A bit like their old club, really!

Meanwhile, Mystery History McMurdo is complaining about the corruption in Scottish football, evidenced by no action being taken against Peter Lawwell. They can greet all they want but fair's fair: no action was ever taken against David Murray for his disparaging remarks against Celtic so why should Lawwell suffer? 'A tilted table' says McMurdo. Aye right. They've been lying so much about how they've been hard-done by that they are actually now believing it!

Of course, all the comments are in complete agreement and they all long for the day when they are 'back' on top and running Scottish football 'again'. That's funny; for years any claims that they were running Scottish football was put down to paranoia. Now, at last, they are admitting what we all suspected for years; not only that, they're trying to make some kind of virtue out of it! They say that they hope UEFA are watching. I hope so too and then maybe there will be no more bending over bacwards to accomodate this mob.

They're also bleating about the BBC Panorama documentary that was on during the week about British army hit squads. Apparently they see this as some kind of 'anti-British' agenda. Arrogantly they see any attacks on Bisto FC as being 'anti-British' as well. To their eternal regret, we live in a democracy, which means that everyone is accountable to the law, even the armed forces and the old and new clubs at Ibrox.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I'll be glad to see the back of Northern Ireland. Hopefully everyone votes in favour of Scottish independence and the whole sorry mess will have nothing whatsoever to do with us anymore!
