Speaking of trust, the Daily Record yesterday asked who The Peeppul were going to trust: Mr Blobby or Honest Dave. By God, that's a hard one! Amazingly the Daily Record still seems to be behind Honest Dave, even though news has emerged that he's in bother again for not paying taxes in South Africa. This guy wouldn't be allowed to take over a stall at the Barras, never mind a football club; and yet the DR still keeps beating the drum on his behalf. I suppose it's hard to give up fealty to the old 'succulent lamb' board!
And today we're told that the police are probing Mr Blobby. Sounds painful. Apparently a shareholder in the club/company/sooper-dooper holding company or whatever it says on the certificate has accused Mr B of misleading shareholders at the AGM in December. This shareholder, a banker called Phil Maher, has grassed up Mr B because he told shareholders that there was enough money to see the club through until May. As it turned out, there wasn't and Bisto had to get loans from the Easdales and some other shareholder, both secured on Edmiston House and the Albion car park, to help with 'cashflow issues'.
The Bisto board says there is no case to answer and they're probably right. The loans in question were called 'emergency loans'. That's the thing about emergencies; you don't see them coming, otherwise they wouldn't be emergencies, would they? So the police will probably ask a few questions and then drop the whole thing.
I'm willing to bet that Mr Maher is one of Honest Dave's supporters; a 'rebel' that didn't get his own way in December. This complaint is probably just mischief-making, like the Derry Dinosaur Jockey's complaints about Celtic to the Chancellor of the Exchequor and the European Commission. Like the EC, the police are duty-bound to look into it; but that's as far as it'll go.
All this sniping, however, won't do the club any good. Shit sticks and this story might persuade others to sign up with Honest Dave's scam...er...I mean, scheme. This, of course, will starve Bisto FC of much-needed funds and then the new share sale will kick in. Not that anybody else will have the chance to buy these shares; they're just going to sell them to each other for a penny each. No doubt Sooperally will make sure he pockets a decent-sized amount!
Despite all that's gone on, McMurdo still thinks that the Report is realistic in its assessment of Bisto FC winning the Premiership by 2017. I think he's been reading too many of those books of his! With no planned income stream and no line of credit, how the hell are they going to do this? The simple answer is that they aren't. It's just another way to get the gullible to hand over the readies by feeding their fears over Celtic winning title after title. As The Peeppul have shown time and again, they'll believe anything!
The demise of this new club and the closing of Ibrox for good looks more inviting than ever after the comments I read yesterday on some of the blogs. The Bisto Kids were calling Peter Lawwell every name under the sun. Why? Because he laid flowers among all the other items left in tribute to Sandy Jardine! They see the same disgusting hate and bigotry in others that they see in themselves and so assume that Lawwell was only there as a PR stunt. And they wonder why folk don't like them?
A related point was made on McMurdo's blog. I must point out that McMurdo himself disagreed with these contributors, but, then, he did allow them to post their bile in the first place. These posts concerned how the 'history' and 'traditions' of Rangers (sic) were being sold down the river by allowing an Irish Catholic to play for the team. Not only that, but - gasp! - somebody actually blessed himself after scoring a goal! Get the torches and pitchforks ready! When you read this kind of thing you realise that The Peeppul still haven't moved into the 18th Century, never mind the 21st! The sooner they disappear the better.
"Hello, playmates! It's yer old pal, Big-Hearted Bill Struth again. Now what's that I hear? Irish Catholics playing at Ibrox? My God, me old canary will be turning in its grave! I mean, what's the world coming to, eh? What next, eh? Votes for women? Slavery being abolished? People eating foreign muck instead of a good, big bowl of porridge? Get it sorted! Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyythenkyeow!"
To all the new readers of my blog, perhaps you'd like to take a look at my latest book, which is for sale on Amazon. It costs £6.75, but the Kindle copy is only 77p. Mick, on Bampots Utd, has run a couple of promotions for it and everyone that has read it seems to have enjoyed it. But don't take my word for it - here are the reviews I've got on Amazon:

Great book, well written, it flows along. I like reading new
authors to give them a try and have found one who has managed the art of keeping
the reader's interest.

With the upcoming Yes/No referendum in Scotland quickly
approaching this little political thriller is not so very far off from
reality
Thank you for writing it and I look forward to reading some (perhaps
all) of your other novels
