Sevco is skint, pure and simple, with the Sword of Damocles of Ashley's contract hanging over them; who in their right mind is going to want that poisoned chalice? Warburton has expressed nothing but flattering noises; he's probably just lined up the Sevco job in case nothing else turns up, which he pretty much implies in his interview with the DR. Pereira? If anyone in the Blue Room did contact him his laughter down the phone line will still be echoing round the marble staircase. The DR does this all the time and we can expect to see everyone from Alex Ferguson to Neil Lennon being linked with Sevco. They've got far more choice this time since there's no Barry Ferguson around anymore to limit the pool of potential candidates! We all know, of course, that next season we'll still be seeing Stuart McCall scrambling about on all fours to retrieve the ball in the technical area.
The DR later decided to give us a list of potential 'candidates', most of whom probably know nothing about it. Why the hell would Derek McInnes leave his post at Aberdeen, where he has a chance to compete for the Premiership title, to struggle in the Championship with a bunch of losers, has-beens and never-weres? As for McLeish and Advocaat, both require a bulging chequebook to achieve anything and Sevco is skint. If, indeed, Sevco is chasing round Europe for a top appointment then I'd imagine that mobile phones will be currently in the process of being switched off everywhere. Meanwhile, the weans will be told that if any strange men call the landline during the summer holidays, then they've just to put the phone down.
And the DR is praising The Peeppul for 'not reacting' to that 'shameful provocation' by the Mothewell fans on Sunday. They really think our heads zip up the back. Every year, without fail, the Motherwell supporters run onto the pitch at the end of their last home match and there's never any trouble that I've heard of. You never hear of other supporters being congratulated for not reacting to this 'provocation'. The way the Record tells it, the Motherwell fans were taunting The Peeppul and it could have ended up with a bloodbath if the 1500 Sevco supporters had 'retaliated'. Obviously they can't count at the DR; even the picture they have with the article shows that there were probably less than 200 of The Peeppul left at the end of the game, which probably explains why they didn't attack the Motherwell fans. And we're talking about supposedly grown men here, not wee boys in the playground, who use "He looked at me" as an excuse for punching somebody.
Some Hun put a video of the Motherwell fans 'rioting' on YouTube and, through the shaky picture, you can see all the 'Well supporters smiling and happy; not one of them looks as if they're wanting a fight. As for the mounted police turning up so promptly, they were probably there in case of one of The Peeppul's trademark riots. Instead of trying to build this incident up into something it wasn't, the DR would be better employed asking why no action has been taken against Sevco for the shameful scenes at Ibrox in the game against Hibs. I still maintain that their constant throwing of missiles influenced the match; at the very least the lack of a decent amount of added time should be queried.
The Record also considers this a good time to ask football supporters to give their ideas to be forwarded to the authorities. Do you think if we point out the corruption in the SFA, the constant pandering to The Peeppul and the desperate efforts made to get Sevco in the top tier, they'd bother to pass them on or even take notice of them? Stand by for the results in a few days' time - we all want an extended top tier with fourteen teams in it. You just know this is what they're looking for and The Peeppul, including the DR staff, will be putting in multiple entries at this very moment. If the SPFL does do such a thing then it's the end of Scottish football.
The biggest 'What The Fuck?' of the decade is occurring in Glasgow on Saturday. Glasgow City Council has given the go-ahead to a thing called 'Orangefest' to take place throughout the day in George Square. They're having speakers from Scotland and Northern Ireland (there's a surprise!) to give everybody an insight into the 'real' Orange Order. The most WTF thing is that this isn't a joke; it's really happening! What the hell were they thinking?
According to GCC they're not allowed to stop events "just because people don't like them". That's a load of pure and utter pish. Those of you as old as me will remember how, back in the 1980s, there were always rugby clubs throughout Scotland inviting South African clubs to come over here for matches. Our councils, including Glasgow and Strathclyde, were in the forefront of making sure these events didn't take place. The street where the South African Consulate was located in Glasgow was renamed 'Nelson Mandela Place' to get it right up the racists in SA. These councillors were all Labour through and through; so what's changed now?
It's not just that they've allowed this abomination to take place but allowing them to hold it in George Square is a kick in the teeth for the people of Glasgow, if not the whole of Scotland. They also held a civic reception for the filthy bigots in the City Chambers. Obviously this is a desperate attempt by Scottish Labour to get itself a new support base since they seem to have irrevocably lost their old one. I wonder if Jim Murphy will turn up wearing his Celtic tie? Maybe the members of Scottish Labour should read the crazed outpourings of PZJ and the rest of The Peeppul and they'd find out what they really think of GCC and Scottish Labour! They're on a hiding to nothing if they think they're going to get this scum voting for them!
They're taking over the square for seven hours, right at a time when tourists will be around, shoppers will be arriving at Queen Street Station from Edinburgh and other places and normal Glasgow folk will trying to go about their business. The area is going to be cordoned off, allowing only 2000 in at a time but we know there'll be hundreds of hangers-on loafing about outside the shops, the station and the City Chambers. We all know the police's special attitude to The Peeppul when it comes to drinking in public, so there'll be crowds of drunken bigots annoying everybody, or even worse. The boats over from Belfast will be filled to overflowing with the fuckers so anything could happen.
But wait, we can't call them bigots; they've actually got a Catholic speaking at their event and an Irish one at that! Before you get too excited, this Irish Catholic goes by the name of Ruth Dudley Edwards. I'm sure I wrote something about her in 'Fear and Smear'. Google her name and you'll find out that she's one of the worst kinds of sycophantic, arse-licking Uncle Toms in the whole British Isles. I think the charge of this being a bigotfest isn't changed any by the inclusion of this woman.
Everybody needs to sign this petition https://www.change.org/p/labour-led-glasgow-city-council-hold-gcc-to-account-on-orangefest-the-people-of-glasgow-say-no-more whether you live in Glasgow or not. This filthy display is hardly going to reflect well on our country. How is the world going to view us when our elected representatives allow the Scottish equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan to take over the centre of our largest city?
Lastly, I've been reading here and there that Auld Frau Saxe-Coburg Gothe has now officially been on the throne for 62 years. Hasn't anybody told her about Andrew's Liver Salts, or syrup of figs?
"Er...how come naebody's considerin' me fur the joab 'n 'at?"
How do we find out the councilors responsible to make sure they're never elected again ?
