Celtic Park has been chosen as the venue for this year's League Cup final and The Peeppul are not happy about it. 'Conspiracy!' they're all shouting, even though it makes sense to use Scotland's biggest stadium. It doesn't matter that usually games involving Aberdeen and Inverness are lucky if they get enough spectators to fill a phone box; a cup final is special and there are always hordes of 'fans' scrambling for tickets. Of course, The Peeppul see things differently. In their minds Ibrox should be used for everything from the Olympic Games to the International Egg-and-Spoon Championships. In fact, Ibrox, not Hampden, should be Scotland's national stadium. Scratch that. It should be BRITAIN'S national stadium!
Now Sooperally has opened his huge gob. For a change, however, he's not shoving something from Greggs into it; he's playing to the gallery. He doesn't come straight out and say it (does he ever?) but he sleekitly implies that there are nefarious forces at work in the SPFL, which made sure that Ibrox was 'snubbed'. He says, "I think obviously Neil, or indeed whoever is running the SPFL, made the decision and they'll stick by it." Even Green couldn't have done that better.
Cue all the Bisto Kids moaning about how Ibrox is a 'Five-Star Staydyum.' Despite what they think, the five stars given to their stadium mean about as much as the five stars on their shirts. God knows when these classifications were handed out but it seems that they haven't been kept up to date. More than a few folk have pointed out that the Olympic Stadium in Athens does not actually meet the criteria as set out by UEFA. A crumbling, asbestos-filled dump would probably fail as well if it was re-assessed.
Sooper pours scorn on the reason given by the SPFL that there will be TV cameras at Ibrox on the Saturday and there wouldn't be enough time for a different company to set up for the Sunday. Sooper seems to think that the folk that set up the cameras, cables etc should work overnight just so Ibrox can be used. He's worked in television, he says, so he knows all about it. I hardly think, though, that flirting with Sue Barker qualifies you as a television engineer. A more relevant question should be why the hell our football authorities feel the need to explain themselves to Bisto FC. As Jabba himself put it, when speaking about Celtic, of course, 'Who the hell do you think you are?'
It could be, of course, that Neil Doncaster knows something that the rest of us don't. Maybe Phil Mac Whatsit is right and Bisto FC will be finished by the end of February, ruling Ibrox out to be used for anything other than a new supermarket.
McMurdo and his cohorts are more concerned with the recent condemnation of the Catholic Church by the UN. The glee that these characters exhibit when they talk about child abuse is absolutely disgusting and they care nothing about the matter or they would be calling for something to be done everywhere. The UN itself is hardly blameless in this respect. There are numerous stories about UN peacekeeping forces running brothels in occupied countries, often using kidnapped women and children. Our own government too is involved in cover-ups of child abuse but we're not supposed to talk about that. All that matters is that it's used as a stick with which to beat the Catholic Church.
McMurdo's mob are complaining about the Queen meeting the Pope, saying that she shouldn't be doing such a thing. Given the close friendship between the Royal Family and Jimmy Savile and the stories about Lord Mountbatten's involvement in the ghastly occurrences at Kincora Boys' Home, maybe it's the Pope that should be refusing to meet the Queen!
The Daily Record gets in on the act as well. It allows comments on its report about the UN and the Vatican so that the bigots can pour out their bile. Meanwhile, there is another story about a soldier, one of the much-touted 'heroes' raping a twelve-year-old girl. Comments are not allowed on this story of course!
The anti-Catholic and anti-Irish bile on McMurdo's site reaches something of a nadir with the following comment from a regular contributor:
"when is geldof and that other fucker bono organising an aid concert for those poor people flooded out of their homes, i wonder how much aid has come from abroad to help them in their crisis , well i’ll tell you FUCK ALL !! that’s how much"
How pathetic is that? Maybe he would do better to ask the Westminster Government why it saw fit to spend hundreds of millions of pounds of tax payers' money on flood defences for London (minus the East End, of course!) while we are constantly told that there is no money to stop flooding in other areas.
Joe Gorman, a player with Inverness, has apparently been suspended for making 'sectarian' and 'offensive' comments on Twitter. He was watching a Ross Kemp programme about Northern Ireland and took to Twitter to say, "Ross Kemp in Belfast talking about the troubles wouldn't you just love to open up on all those orange men"
An ill-advised statement and one that he would have been better keeping to himself. The Bisto Kids, with staggering hypocrisy, started to greet and complain to anyone that would listen. I say hypocrisy because they have still, on numerous occasions, been singing about being 'up tae wur knees in Fenian blood'. A McMurdoite has this to say:
"well done all the bears getting off their arses (for a change) and getting this on msm ..… I am proud of my Rangers family on this one."
So there we have it. They're finally admitting that Bisto supporter = Orangeman, after all those denials too. I wonder, will the Ibrox board verify this?
Another Bisto Kid on McMurdo's site writes what he thinks is an answer to Joe Gorman. He numbers his points and tries to make out that it's all fact. As they always do, he puts the word 'Fact' at the end of each statement, as if that confirms everything!
"Bill If I may indulge your blog a little to send an open message to Joe Gorman. Joe let me tell you a few facts on the Orange Institution,
1/ No Orangeman or woman has ever shot, bombed, or maimed anyone, Fact.
Really? So the Shankill Butchers weren't Orangemen? There are numerous other Loyalist terrorists, every one of them a member of the Orange Institution.
2/ No Orangeman has ever abused any children and gotten away with it or had it covered up.Fact
Didn't a certain Ian Paisley cover up for the abusers at Kincora? Isn't this cover-up an ongoing scandal, with evidence mysteriously 'disappearing'? All this 'Fact' tells us is that the Orange Institution is better at coverning things up than other organisations.
3/ Orange Institution members are Christian. Fact.
Isn't Christianity about brotherly love? Most Protestants adhere to this principle and are tolerant of other religions and cultures. The Orange Institution, however, is all about hatred, nothing else.
4/ We celebrate the Glourious Revolution of 1688 that ultimately gave this land of ours ie the United Kingdom, the democracy, the bill of rights, the act of settlement, and finally the bank of England, we all hold dear today."
Democracy? The Glorious Revolution took the vote away from English Presbyterians and Nonconformists, people that James II had enfranchised. Upper-class Catholic people did not get the vote until 1829. Middle-class people didn't get the vote until 1832, working-class people not until 1867 and women not until after the First World War. And we've to hold the Bank of England dear, after they ruined the economy? Yes, the Glorious Revolution was a wonderful thing!
