RULES ARE RULES

The big story of the weekend is the appeal. No, not Legia Warsaw; I'm talking about Sooperally's appeal against Craig Thomson's handling of yesterday's match against Hearts. The man obviously wasn't playing by the SFA rule book as, not only were Bisto FC not awarded a penalty, but he failed to blow the whistle for full time as soon as Law scored the equaliser. It was double unfair as Sooperally claims that they 'wurnae ready yit' when Hearts kicked off from the centre circle after the Bisto goal. Strangely I remember a certain dead team whose stock-in-trade was to take a quick free kick and score while the referee was speaking to an opposition player about his misdemeanour. As it says, however, in the SFA Rule Book, Section 16, Paragraph 90, "When playing against any club from Ibrox, no team shall take a free kick, a goal kick or kick off from the centre circle after a goal until such time as the Ibrox manager indicates that his team is ready." So there we have it. Hearts broke the rules and the match will be changed to a 3-0 victory for Bisto.

McMurdo, meanwhile, puts his immortal soul in jeopardy by posting a blog on the Sabbath. What would Gregory Campbell say? (Only joking; McMurdo is one of The Elect and is destined for Heaven no matter what he does.) He seems to have finally realised that not only is Sooperally a useless bastard but that Stadtler and Waldorf are not the strike force he expected them to be. His disciples, however, are still trying to put the blame on everybody else. One of them posts an article from a Bisto website, moaning about how Bisto has no representation on the SPFL board. What makes them think that a two-year-old team deserves such representation? Isn't it enought that they've got Mr. Campell Ogilvie EBT as President of the SFA?

The answer to all Bisto's problems is obvious to McMurdo and his acolytes: the return of Charlie Boy. This, however, looks about as likely to happen as me running out for Barcelona. Phil Mac Giolla Bhain and others have already been on the case and Auld Sorearse and his associates have never even heard of any club pretending to be Rangers. I imagine they thought it was something to do with Yellowstone Park. So it looks like it's just another in Charlie's list of fantasy investors, like the Dallas Cowboys, the Harlem Globetrotters and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Reuters are reporting that there is to be an emergency meeting of the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund in Washington D.C. tomorrow morning. The meeting has been called because of McMurdo's previous blog, which outlines how 'Rangers' is destined for world domination. The Governor of the IMF has decided that this manifest destiny overrides all other global considerations and has called the Executive Board to authorise the payment of the whole fund, which is in the hundreds of billions of US Dollars, to Ibrox. This will facilitate the speedy rise of 'Rangers' to 'where it belongs' and usher in an era of peace and plenty throughout the World.

While all this is going on Legia Warsaw seem to be going all-out to blame Celtic for their woes. They seem to forget that nobody at Celtic complained about them fielding an ineligible player; it was all between themselves and UEFA. Of course, those law-abiding denizens of Govan are all on the side of Legia, claiming that Celtic should stand down in the name of 'sporting fairness' or something. That's funny; The Peeppul were all for upholding the rules when it came to Jorge Cadete, eh? And I don't remember any offers to replay that Scottish Cup semi-final, even though Celtic had done nothing wrong! I think that's another rule in the SFA Rule Book: "Any implementation of the Rules should always be followed to the bitter end when it comes to Celtic FC. In situations involving other clubs officials may used their own discretion, except in the case of any club using the name 'Rangers'. In such a case see: Special Circumstances." Unfortunately for Legia, UEFA has a real Rule Book.

The Daily Record website had the story about Sean Connery recovering from illness and ready to take part in the Referendum campaign. Personally, I've got no time for Connery. I had the misfortune to meet him once in Edinburgh and saw him treat one of his fans as if he was a piece of shit. He's an arrogant fuckwit and I would rather he had nothing to do with the YES campaign. The fact is, however, that he's been in favour of Scottish independence for a lot, lot longer than I have so he has every right to speak up. This is especially true when you take into account the petition from all the Hooray Henrys and Henriettas in England demanding that we stay in the Union. If they can have a say then so can he!

Rather disgustingly, the Daily Record hasn't allowed any comments from anyone supporting a YES vote. I can't imagine that nobody in favour of independence had anything to say on the matter but there's not even one on the forum. I suppose the posts that have been deleted must be from YES supporters. The only posts that are visible are abusive ones by Bettertogetherers. Not that the Record is biased or anything, you understand!

I see a couple of morons have decided to resurrect the lie about Alex Ferguson's autobiography. When one of The Peeppul says something you can guarantee that they'll all come crawling out of the woodwork to say the same thing. The lie in question is that Alex Ferguson said in his autobiography that Celtic was 'classless' and that none of the big clubs liked them. This pile of shite came out on the same day as the actual autobiography, invented by one of The Peeppul on Twitter. This was all proven long ago so it shows you how thick The Peeppul are that some of them are still willing to believe it!

Finally, I received a 'Google+ Notification' yesterday. Whoever sent it just copied my blog and wrote above it 'Oh, the irony!' Now, I'm quite good at getting irony; in fact, I'm fond of using it myself. This character, however, has lost me completely. I would imagine that the message came from one of The Peeppul. So either I'm thick or he is. Anybody willing to lay the odds?

 

Sooperally demonstrates the good grace, class and sportsmanship expected at Ibrox.
