JABBA THE AGNIVORE

WHERE ARE THE MEN IN WHITE COATS?

As I predicted, Big Jabba, the Goebbels of Rangers, has gone missing. The Nimmo-Smith verdict and the SFA's insistence on proving Rangers' innocence have shown that Rangers is still the Establishment team, protected by our footballing authorities and by a dark, Masonic organisation. Our media too fell over themselves to claim that Rangers had been vindicated. This, however, does not fit in with Traynor's propaganda and he is probably, at this very moment, trying desperately to find some other way to show that everybody is against Rangers. Loony Leggat has perhaps shown the way; lie and twist what is said in the papers to fit your own agenda!

Further to his fawning over the Rangers verdict and toeing the party line over Rangers being picked-on by everyone, Keith Jackson in the Daily Record decided to repeat his call for the resignation of Regan and Doncaster. In Monday's edition of this 'newspaper' he decided to have a pop at them over league reconstruction. This, it seems, is a proposition that is solely for the benefit of Celtic.

"The cash-rich champions can afford to fiddle while Rome burns as has been proved by chief executive Peter Lawwell who is one of the driving forces behind a reconstruction plan which will see his club giving up a small fortune in prize money – and yet still emerge relatively unscathed compared to the rest of his top-flight rivals...

The champions will be out of pocket by £315,000 – but with the chance to make up the difference and much, much more with a crack at the Champions League. Using the figures from this current campaign, that would leave Celtic, oh let’s see, about the guts of £20million up. A decent bit of business, I’m sure you’ll agree."

So, according to Jackson, the whole reconstruction and redistribution of wealth is a sham. Celtic stand to make millions while every other team in Scotland will suffer. The runners-up in the SPL will suffer the most, with Celtic, again, the beneficiaries.'

"And the gap between the haves (or Celtic) and the have nots (everybody else) will continue to widen, year on year. Tell me, where’s the sporting integrity in that?"

 That little piece sounds as if it is straight from the pen of Traynor and would not look out of place on one of those mad Rangers' blogs, where they see a huge conspiracy against Rangers, involving the SPL, SFA, Peter Lawwell, Cardinal O'Brien, the Vatican and the SNP! Which leads on nicely to Loony Leggat's latest pronouncements.

He has his usual swipe at Graham Spiers, for whom he has a pathological hatred. A decent psychiatrist would have a field day with Leggat's obsession and have enough material for ten PhD theses! According to Leggat, Spiers was totally humiliated on STV by Chris Graham, another psychologically unstable individual, who called a Glasgow pub an 'enemy of Rangers' because they served jelly and ice-cream!

Leggat then turns his attention to the Daily Record, continuing with his vendetta against what he imagines to be a friend of Celtic and an enemy of Rangers! Amazingly, he cites the Keith Jackson article on Monday as evidence that Jackson, and the whole Daily Record, is in the pocket of Peter Lawwell!

"For it seems, according to the Daily Record's new top man Jackson, that Celtic - as title winners - are willing to fork out an extra £315,000 to help other clubs in a bid to boost the hopes of re-organisation. Again, according to Jackson, this appears to be some sort of philanthropy which puts Peter Lawwell on a par with Andrew Carnegie." (Please note that the poor grammar is Leggat's; not mine!) 

Anyone with half a braincell to spare can see that what Leggat has written has no relation whatsoever to what Jackson actually wrote! And yet, he uses this twisting of what Jackson said to further his ridiculous agenda! So is Leggat an idiot, does he have some inability to take in what he reads, or is he cynically manipulating things for the hard-of-thinking? I'll let you decide. A more pertinent question is: will Traynor follow suit?

With an irony completely lost on himself, Leggat gives the following words of wisdom:

"Get the facts wrong and any view you offer loses its credibility."

I couldn't have put it better myself!
