The furore over Sooperally's massive wage packet hasn't gone away. Even with his 50% wage cut he's still on a par with Neil Lennon. His main concern seems to be that his salary should never have been divulged in the first place. The way he keeps denying that this is the case, without even being asked, shows that it is uppermost in his mind. No doubt he'll find some way to get that extra money back in bonuses or some such. It's been claimed that he'll be back on the bigger bucks when Bisto FC get 'back' into the top flight. That is, if they're still in existence!
The debate is still raging over who should be driving the gravy train at Ibrox. McMurdo is still flying the flag for the current board, as are the folk that post on his blog. The current thinking there now is that Celtic fans are responsible for the whole thing. Apparently the 'tarriers' are all joining FollowFollow and pretending to be supporters of Bisto FC. The fact that many on FollowFollow are now using the name 'Sevco' to describe the current board is apparently a dead giveaway. I assume all those folk displaying banners and chanting about the board at the matches are all Celtic supporters in disguise! Where have we heard that one before?
'The Rebels,' as the McMurdo faction calls them, are all out to destroy 'Rainjurz' it seems. While condemning them, McMurdo gives a fascinating insight into the Orange psyche. He claims to always take the side of 'the rebels,' so long as they are in the right. “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God,” he claims. So does he profess support for the Vietcong, the PLO, the ANC or, God forbid, Irish Republicans? No. He gives a quick David Icke-style nod to his opposition to the 'New World Order' and then cites Oliver Cromwell as a hero. This from the guy that believes that royalty is appointed by God!
Still, I suppose the type of totalitarian state run by Cromwell appeals to the Sevilles. No dancing, no Christmas, no merriment, no singing and Matthew Hopkins poking things into everybody to prove they were witches. Sounds like a Calvinist paradise!
He also claims that he would have been on the Confederate side in the American Civil War. Yep, standing up for slavery and racism sounds just the ticket. And the modern-day equivalent is just like your average Bisto FC supporter. You can just see one of them, sitting outside the shack, drinking moonshine with his mates while his wife/sister/mother irons his Klan regalia. He sits bemoaning the fact that those stoopid-ass, Commie Northern folk have put a niggrah in the White House, while his son/nephew/uncle/brother (work that one out!) plays Duelling Banjos. Yes, Govan should be twinned with good ol' Dixie!
He has a go at 'rebels' that accuse him of being in the pay of the board: "Why would Rangers pay a blogger to back the board when they are paying a very lucrative salary to a wordsmith who could wipe the floor with the club’s enemies if required to do so?" So who is this wordsmith? McMurdo denies that he means Irvine, so that only leaves one candidate...our old friend Jabba!
Of course, the truth is that the only thing Jabba could wipe the floor with is his fat arse when he ends up on it! He is not what you would call a debater; more of a mass debater! His radio programme on BBC Scotland always descended into him cutting a caller off when Jabba was losing the argument, which happened frequently. In the Daily Record too he could not stand to be challenged. Comments were often removed for no reason and then comments were not allowed on his column. Eventually, no comments were allowed at all on the Daily Record. On the few occasions where he did put himself in a position where somebody could answer him back, he could not cope without either resorting to name-calling or losing his temper, as he did with Chick Young. If McMurdo thinks Jabba could wipe the floor with anyone then he is seriously deluded!
Remember a while ago all the crap about Celtic supporters chanting vile things about Lee Rigby? One 'Brentford' fan complained on a website, while a 'Celtic' supporter claimed to have heard it. Strangely, no other Brentford supporters heard it, no reporters heard it and the police denied categorically that it happened. There were plenty of videos taken, especially since a couple of dozen Celtic fans 'invaded' the pitch at the end, having a party in which the Brentford fans, and even the police joined. The story, however, took wings and seems now to be presented as fact by the Bisto Kids.
Now a new slur has surfaced. A few comments appeard on the internet, suggesting that Scott Brown's mother was punched in the back at the Barcelona game. The Sun stupidly picked up the story, as did the Scotsman, with no corroboration whatsoever! Scott Brown and his mother were apparently 'unavailable for comment' while the oft-cited, but anonymous, 'source' at Parkhead claimed that an investigation was underway. That was it, the whole story! Of course, the Bisto Kids all leaped on this, asking why more media outlets hadn't picked up on the story. Maybe it's because there's no story there; it's all ifs, buts and maybes. To the Bisto Kids, however, it's proof positive that the media in Scotland is under the control of Peter Lawwell! Presumably he's got the English media in his pocket as well, since none of them have gone with the story. It seems these bigots aren't content with casting slurs on each other; they've got to do it to everyone else!
William Carson, if you're reading this, I don't know why you can't post on here. I don't know how to get back in touch with you. Sorry. To be honest, I started blogging to try to get folk to buy my books and got carried away and I think more people have read my blogs than have even looked at my books! I'll need to have a look at how the blog is laid out and see what is happening. Sorry again.
'All together now...Hullo, Hullo...'
