Well, unfortunately for the Chairman, one year and three days later his lax and negligent attitude has came back to haunt us big time in the shape of UEFA apparently wanting to investigate ‘discriminatory’ chanting’ at Rangers fixtures in European fixtures.
To put it in more blunt terms, two of the weasels he refused to make martyrs of this time last year are doing their damndest to make martyrs out of our club. Thanks once again Mr Chairman and let me be the first to tell you; all your press chickens have finally came home to roost.
To say I’m beyond furious would be to put it mildly. However this anger is laced with a heavy dose of ‘I told you f***ing so’ cum resignation. How many times has this fanzine/website through various contributors warned down the years that you cannot keep turning your back on those who hate our club? If I had a fiver for every such blast, I’d be as rich as the Suckster.
Of course, the timing and glee of the Herald in bringing us this ‘UEFA exclusive’ was two fold in that it was aimed to take some of the gloss off the coming of Paul Le Guen to Ibrox. (Only a MINOR coup in Spiers’ eyes, remember) It seems however also to have been the culmination of some serious behind the scenes digging and chipping away at UEFA by dregs of humanity at the NOTW and at The Herald. To be fair to The Herald, mind, they actually don’t hide their hatred of our club and their agenda. PS, Anyone else noticed that it is now a Herald Campaign, to bring the Commonwealth Games to Parkhe, oops, I mean Glasgow.
This was more than evident by the attempted hatchet job by Herald journalist, and west of Scotland Timdom’s useful idiot, Spiers, aided and abetted by Jim Spence at the BBC in a 90 minute ‘debate’ (and I use the term debate, loosely) with RST spokesman David Edgar last Friday evening.
On and on the useful idiot droned at David Edgar; ‘will you condemn the phrase ‘Dirty Fenian Bastard’? Lest we forget, this is the same guy who had an article a few days after Lennon’s provocative bigotry at Ibrox last year telling us that the phrase ‘Durty Orange Bastards’ was mere mirth making.
This weasel cannot have it both ways. Either sectarian chanting is a blight on Scottish society or a joke. Simple really. As for the BBC, it really is a bit too much for this bear to take that the so called impartial state funded media organisation that simply refused to comment or show a Celtic player shouting out the slogan; ‘IRA’ can be allowed to put Rangers FC in the dock for bigotry. One would hope the RST have learned their lessons from this particular carve up. Certainly Messrs Edgar and Smith would hold their own in a head to head basis.
Yo-yoing back to the useful idiot, what we have to remember is that in the willowy shape of the weed in tweed we have an intellectual amoeba who was captured in the aftermath of last year’s Shamorama programme on sectarianism telling us that the Scottish Catholic, sectarian, apartheid schooling system, in his opinion, leads to more tolerance of people of other faiths.
Let us be clear what the useful idiot is actually saying here. He is openly stating that division = togetherness. Only in Joke McConnell’s Scotland could such backward and retarded thought be feted as intelligence.
But let’s get back to the Chairman of Rangers FC. It is now my firm belief, and I’ve thought it for a long time now, that David Murray exists, in no small part, to meddle with the electrical impulses that shuttle back and forth from my heart to my brain.
Consider if you will the sheer audacity, the Gaul (if you’ll pardon the pun), the personality and the charm of the man who could persuade Paul Le Guen to come to Ibrox. How many Club Chairman in the world could have managed that feat? Yet the same man allows human body waste like Spiers and McNee to openly agitate against our club and spew their own bigoted poison constantly against us? And you wonder why he leaves me stranded in the middle of the air?
The capture of Paul Le Guen as manager at our club has ignited the support like no other signing has, other than Graeme Souness breezing and bristling his way into the club twenty years ago.
But if Souness coming to the club was enough to ignite my soul in 1986, then I’m afraid PLG on his own doesn’t cut it for this cynical and jaundiced old heart of mine this time around. I want more. I demand more! And that is down solely to the Chairman.
Because of David Murray’s apathy and negligence regards our PR for basically all his time in charge of the club, we are now a sitting duck for everyone and anyone who wants to have a pop at us. ‘Hey DOBS, we need you to play the Aunt Sallies at the Walfrid Memorial.’ Sure no problem, we’ll send along Greigy. ‘Hey Huns, we want a tax funded training facility, come hold our hands for the cameras.’ Okay, dokey, we’ll be along just as soon as you give the word.
As much as PLG coming to Scotland to be manager of Rangers Football Club is sending out all the right signals. If this dynamism on the park is not matched off it in terms of taking on people who want our club bombed out of our very existence then what is there to get too excited about?
Vive Le’, och just do that Revolution thing.….
