I think everybody can agree that John Gemmell hit the nail squarely on the head with his tweets about Sooperally. He made absolute mincemeat of the Bisto manager and even many of the Bisto Kids had to admit that he was perfectly correct in what he was saying. McMurdo, who seems to have decided to go along with Leggat's 'Merlin' name, however, sees things differently. What concerns him is the 'disrespect' shown to Sooperally, which he claims is symptomatic of a 'culture of abuse pervading our game.' Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't respect have to be earned? And what has Sooper done to earn respect? Nothing much as far as I can see.
Sooper has come out pledging support for anything in a suit and tie, only to backtrack later. He stabbed his employers in the back with his proxying of his votes and seems to think he needs to spend even more money to beat part-time opposition. I subscribe to what John Lydon, AKA Johnny Rotten, once said, 'If you talk like an arsehole and act like an arsehole - you're an arsehole!' Unfortunately for Sooper he has constantly fitted into this category and lost any right to respect a long time ago.
Of course, the Bisto Kids fall over themselves to agree with McMurdo, although, it has to be said, not all of them are so thin-skinned. Unfortunately, some of the terms they use are downright insulting: 'beadrattlers' 'aliens' 'Native Scots' as well as calling Neil Lennon a bigot. This is standard fare on McMurdo's blog and yet he has the effrontery to talk about 'disrespect' and a 'culture of abuse.' I wonder what he has to say about the Bisto Kid, reported on in today's Record, who posted on Twitter that he'd like to see Neil Lennon dead. That'll just be banter, eh?
Amazingly, they mention the 'class' shown by Sooperally after the game against Stenny when he spoke and smiled to John Gemmell. Such 'class' would never be shown by Neil Lennon, they assert. Perhaps they've forgotten how he forgave the sleekit fat shit for whispering in his ear and has never divulged what was said. And Sooper might have been wearing a smile when he spoke to John Gemmell but it would be interesting to know what he actually whispered in his ear!
Meanwhile they're all still having multiple orgasms over the crap spouted on Football Tax Havens and by the guy with the Old-Testament name. They're even appearing on the Daily Record forum, talking about 'questions in the House' and Government and EU enquiries etc. They still can't seem to get it into their heads that the only person of note that is in any way interested is sad old bigot and dinosaur jockey Gregory Campbell. All this man ever talks about in the House of Commons is Celtic and I doubt anybody listens!
Hearts have gone cap-in-hand to the SPFL to beg for the rules to be bent in order for them to maybe bring in a couple of free transfers. Of course, the Bisto Kids are up in arms, forgetting entirely that the rules were actually broken to allow their new team to play in the leagues at all. Still, all the clubs made, agreed and signed up to the rules; they can't then expect these rules to be chucked out the window because they find themselves in dire straits. Unlike Rangers, Hearts have avoided going into administration, let alone liquidation, which means that they are going to have to cut their cloth to suit. If that means relegation then that's life. They'll just have to deal with it.
As well as the adherence to the rules and the much-maligned sporting integrity, there is also the little matter of a wider frame of legality and ethics. If the rules were to be relaxed and Hearts were allowed to bring in a couple of free transfers, where is the money going to come from to pay these players' wages? Is it ethical, or even legal, to renege on debts while paying out large sums of money to players? In no other business arena would you be allowed to get away with this. Then again, in no other arena would a business be allowed to go into liquidation and then carry on as if nothing had happened while shedding all its debts, would it?
Auld Pishy definitely seems to have done a bunk. That's been over three weeks now since he was last heard from! He's either still lying in bed in floods of tears, hitting the bottle with a vengeance, haunting Ibrox, trying to sook in with the Krays or he's boring Lucifer to death with tales about his Auld Presbyterian Granny.
While typing Leggat's name into Google to see if he'd surfaced yet I accidentally went to the site of one David Icke. Have you read any of his stuff? If you believed half of it you'd never leave the house again. You'd just lie in your bed with tin foil lining the walls, your mobile phone and computer smashed to pieces and eating nothing but home-baked bread and water in case you were drugged or poisoned. Strangely, though, a lot of the stuff he writes is not a million miles away from the shite you read on McMurdo's blog from time to time! Icke, however, doesn't let bigotry get in the way and uses a scatter-gun approach to indentify players in the big conspiracy. Like McMurdo, and the pseudo-historians he copies, he also doesn't let facts get in the way. One of my favourite stories is that the late Queen Mother was a practising Satanist, who performed human sacrifices! I hear Icke's being lined up as a possible future chairman at Ibrox. Onwards and upwards!
'Oh, Lord, please, please, please, free me from this pish-stained alky and I promise I'll do nothing but good from now on.'
