Take last Sunday for instance. Boughera goes off injured in the Scottish Cup tie against Hamilton and in the TV round up Pat Nevin's glee is barely disguised. He was 'showboating' Nevin said. 'And if I was a Rangers fan I'd be a bit miffed if my player misses next week's cup final because of showboating.' Now that wasn't absolute verbatim, but you get the picture. In reality Boughera did a step over, which he does time and again. It was hardly 'showboating.'
You get the feeling Nevin was hoping that Boogy's chances for appearing in the following week's League Cup Final were slim and none.
It would be hard, I would imagine, to cojoin, perchance, link Jerome Kern and George Orwell together at any time, but I feel I'm going to have to slip into those muddied and muddled troubled rivers.
Because once again, we are invited into the netherworld of Timmy doublethink and in keeping with the George Orwell theme. Ask a yahoo, any yahoo, who their favourite player is/was? They'll say 'wee Jinky'. Now ask them why that particular player is their favourite? And they'll tell you how he would go back to beat an opponent again, and again, and again.
So is that not 'showboating? I have to ask; is it only wingers who are allowed to do the 'show' thang? Or is it only wee ginger headed mhanks who are allowed to? Heaven help us if it is the case that the little left wing, ex right winger is implying that a 'Palestinian plight' loving defender is not allowed to show off his skills? That would really push us over the edge.
But enough about yahoos and their mentally disturbed dalliances. Yesterday at Hampden showed up what a shambles of a club we are on and off the park.
Now I did say previously (not that anyone should be listening to me) I thought that maybe this year's LCF came around too soon for the likes of John Fleck and/or Aaron. However, it beggars belief that we would throw the likes of Christian Dailly into the frame yesterday.
True, Dailly has previous against Timbo, but that was twenty years ago. I laughed; truly hurrahed one time at a Bonner inspired gaffe at Tannadice that allowed a fresh faced Christian Dailly to score a goal against Celtic, Yesterday that once fresh faced joke was on us. It was as appealing as a Morecombe and Wise re-run.
But welcome to Murrayworld, or should that read Poundland? Again you could accept this state of affairs, ridiculous and pathetic as they are, if Dailly had been mooching around the first XI this season, but that is far from the case.
There's no use pointing out all the disappointments on the park yesterday. It is suffice to say that only Whittaker and Lafferty get pass marks. Well, from me anyway.
We truly are a club in freefall in all areas. I will never castigate the Rangers support, especially against the mhanks. However, you just need to think back to August and the exuberance of the support at Parkhead on the last day of the month, when we were outnumbered around eight to one, and then we had yesterday's support when it was an equal divide, and the relative silence roars out what we have become.
In a week when violent republicanism reared its ugly face once again in Northern Ireland, and filth websites here in Scotland were allowed to spout their bile without censure, it pretty much sums up the 'look behind you' culture that Murray has spawned at Ibrox.
Under no circumstances, and despite any, and even the utmost provocation, should any Rangers fan risk their livelihoods for the shower of sell outs taking a wage out of Murray's Ibrox. The sectarian issue is far from a one way street; however those cowards running our club into the ground don't, or won't, see it that way.
So what is left for us to do? Well, I'll keep it brief and I'll keep it in League Cup terms.
If the 1986/87 League Cup final win, ushered in the Holmes/Souness revolution. Then the 2008/09 League Cup defeat surely must signal the death of the Murray era?
Because if it doesn't then the consequences are too painful to think about. And remember folks, when Murray goes, the rest have to go also.
