And then there's Danny Wilson, who has inexplicably left Hearts to join Sevco. Rather petulantly, he told reporters, "It's my life and I don't have to justify myself to anyone." He was then heard asking his agent if that cheque had cleared yet. It really does defy logic why anyone would want to hand in their notice to a club on its way up to go to a gang of proven losers. There's also the usual shite about Celtic being interested in him. How many times have we heard that one over the years when somebody sells their soul to Ibrox?
And last, and by every means least, we have John Eustace, who has been released by Derby County. I wonder if the serious injury to his knee and the fact that he hasn't kicked a ball in anger since January has anything to do with that. As Eustace himself told the Derby Telegraph, "If I am fit, I am definitely looking to play next season". Oh dear. That doesn't sound too promising, does it? And yet, according to the DR, "The 35-year-old is also being chased by Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday". I bet he is. Chased right down the street with half-bricks bouncing at his heels and told not to come near their doors again!
Warburton says he's "looking for quality and value" but it looks like the same tactic of signing up mercenaries, old-timers, crocks and no-hopers that Sooperally had. I think it's called crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. Hilariously, the Daily Record also bangs on about how Warburton is going to "whittle down hundreds of transfer targets". The Sevco manager is insistent that he will only sign those that are "desperate" to come to Ibrox. That'll be an easy whittling job, as he phones round, getting mostly the same answer, "Naw", "Naw", "Naw", "Get tae fuck", "Naw", "Naw", "How much wull Ah get?". Hey, Weiry, we've found one!
Meanwhile, the DR and its chums in the Labour Party have got some bloody brass neck going on about the 'privatisation' of CalMac ferries. The only thing I understand is that, by law, services need to be put out to tender and there's nothing the Scottish Government can do to escape that fact. Perhaps the DR should put more effort into exposing the scandal of our hospitals and schools that are going to be in debt to private companies for many years due to the stupid policies of the Labour Party, both in Holyrood and Westminster. Most NHS trusts can't afford extra doctors and nurses because of having to pay off mortgages and being tied up in onerous contracts for cleaning and catering. Like I said, necks of solid brass.
The Record also has an article 'sponsored by Ineos' telling us about all the benefits of fracking. It's worth noting, though, that any tax revenue from these operations will go straight to Westminster, as the Smith Report made clear. Strangely, I haven't heard any more about fracking operations in the South of England; maybe it's too over-populated. It's also worth noting, however, that all the shale gas in Scotland lies beneath the Central Belt between Glasgow and Edinburgh. So if you live there and you voted 'NO' you can watch your children die from poisoned water and your house collapse around you, secure in the knowledge that at least the Scottish Government is getting not a penny out of it!
Mark Warburton yesterday.
"See you, Jimmy!"
