THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING

 

You can feel the excitement in the air. It's that time of year that every self-respecting bigot loves. They'll be making sure they've got everything ready. Cans of Special Brew: check. Half-bottles of Buckfast: check. Shoes with the soles on the sides for that special, rickets-sufferers gait: check. Yes, it's that time when all the 'Indigenous Scots' get together to celebrate...er...the removal of an indigenous Scot from the throne and the arrival of a foreign pederast to replace him.

Ask them what they're marching for and they'll tell you it's to celebrate the winning of 'freedom.' And it's true. In this wonderful country of ours you can rise to be Prime Minister if you're a Hindu, a Muslim, a Jew, a Buddhist, a Satanist or a Jedi Knight. If you happen to be a Roman Catholic, however, you can forget it!

Meanwhile, back at HQ, Charles Green has resurfaced. Apparently he wants to call an EGM to get certain people off the board. He thinks they're spending too much money. Er...wasn't he the one that promised Sooperally a £10m warchest? So I take it that was just the usual bluster. The ones on the board at the moment will be absolutely shitting themselves to see him back. They're desperate to distance themselves from him as much as possible; and for good reason.

BDO have still to carry out their investigations into what happened at Rangers and the powers-that-be at Ersatz Rangers are terrified about what they are going to uncover. The connections between Duff and Phelps and Whyte and Green and Whyte point to some serious fraud having occurred. Duff and Phelps hardly broke their backs to find a buyer and never, at any point, seemed to be working in the interests of creditors, as administrators are supposed to do. When liquidation comes to a company then the liquidators are supposed to tally the assets and then sell them off for as much as possible to get the maximum return for creditors. This did not happen at Ibrox. Instead, the administrators sold Green all the assets for a cut-down price. Given Green's proven links to Whyte it would appear that this had been the plan all along. In other words, fraud!

If BDO were to do their job properly, then Green's purchase would be nullified and the assets grabbed back to be sold for a decent amount and in a legal manner. That would leave Ersatz FC without a ground, meaning that their playing licence would have to be revoked. Effectively, they would be dead and gone. Green's shareholders would have no comeback and would lose their money.

This is the reason why Green was ousted and why nobody at Ibrox wants him back. They are desperately hoping that if Green is not around, and they keep their heads down, BDO might not notice that they are there! As is their wont they think that they can break the law and everyone will look the other way. They're probably right. Everyone would look the other way. With Green still around, however, looking the other way would be difficult to justify.

Of course, the best means of defence is attack, or at the very least, deflect. That is why these stories about financial collusion between Glasgow City Council and Celtic have surfaced. To the Orange Hive Mind, Glasgow City Council was taken over by 'Fenians' years ago. Mind you, they say that about practically all councils! They can let their imaginations run wild, highlighting accounting irregularities as part of what they see as the great conspiracy. The fact that no proper authorities have given credence to this shite, despite the Ersatzers getting in touch with all and sundry, shows that it has no substance. They're still trying, though. They are absolutely desperate to divert attention away from Ibrox and will go to any lengths!

A rather worrying couple of items cropped up on Bill McMurdo's webpage the other day, showing the ugly side of the Ersatz FC support. Firstly, there is the vote on Scottish independence. Breaking up the Union is enough to have any Orangeman crying into his Buckie so they see the whole thing as a great Catholic conspiracy, involving, of course, Peter Lawwell and the Vatican. Old Bill tells us about a story in the press where a man accidentally stabbed his wife during an argument about Scottish indpendence. Of course, he sees this as proof positive that we're going to have a conflict of American Civil War proportions.

Anyone that knows anything knows that there are utter bams out there that will fight, argue and stab each other at the drop of a hat. Spouses have stabbed each other over whose turn it is to walk the dog or feed the goldfish, so I think Old Bill's getting things out of proportion a bit!

He goes on, however, to predict that the 'losing' side will take to the streets and riots and violence will erupt. That, to me, sounds suspiciously like a threat. If the result is a 'Yes' vote then we're all going to experience the wrath of Scotland's Orangemen. Considering their reaction to a telly being broken in Manchester, it might be wise to heed these threats!

The other, more worrying, item on the agenda on McMurdo's blog, was about Ersatz FC supporters being 'chosen.' Apparently God has 'chosen' them to be 'Rangers' supporters, the rest of us untermenschen choose our own teams. I asked if this idea of the 'chosen' was along the lines of the Calvinist idea of predestination; he replied that it was.

Many people nowadays are unaware of perhaps the main tenet of Calvinist churches, including the Church of Scotland. These churches believe in predestination, the idea that God chose, away at the beginning of time, who is going to be saved and who is going to be damned. Of course, the members of the Calvinist churches see themselves as being this 'Elect.' Unlike Catholics, and other Christian denominations, who are supposed to search within themselves for sinful thoughts and repent, Calvinists are to look within them for 'proofs' of their 'electedness.'

Inevitably, this gives rise to a superiority complex. A case in point is the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa, whose beliefs included, and might well still include, the belief that black people did not have souls! This was a major influence on the Apartheid system. In America, Christian Individualists believe that only white, Anglo-Saxon people have souls; all the rest are classed as animals. With this sort of mentality, the cry of 'We are the people' takes on a rather sinister aspect. These clowns honestly believe that supporting Rangers, or Ersatz Rangers, is a sign of their 'electedness.' Worrying, isn't it?

This also helps to explain their sense of entitlement and their belief that they can do no wrong. Predestination takes no account of our behaviour on this earth. It makes no difference what you do; if you are one of the 'Elect' you can behave badly and still go to Heaven, whereas you can be the nicest, most altruistic person in the world but you will still go to eternal damnation if you are not one of the 'Elect.' That is why they can do things like ransack cities like Barcelona and Manchester but be utterly convinced that they have done nothing wrong!

Changing the subject slightly, I had to laugh at how they are all up in arms about Neil Doncaster's appointment. Many of them are saying that the post should have been an open competition between all different candidates, with the best chosen for the position. That'll be in the same way that the assets of Rangers were sold off in an open market to the highest bidder, eh? People in glass houses etc etc.

This is the first post I've made in a few days. I've actually been busy writing another book to add to my list of non-sellers on Amazon. Make an auld man happy; go and have a look at them at least!

Wee arrow people.
