came into contact with Timmy and Timetta. Had never stepped over the 'Hate
Masons-Dhixie line¹ for even a second. I mean, has there ever been anything
so pathetic not to say slightly disturbing, as the behaviour of the yahoos
in the last couple of weeks, as they went all out to make sure Torbett
Towers was voted the UK's top sporting venue in a Radio 5 internet poll?
'Vote early and often' was the 'wan ghuy' war cry! Honestly, this mhob truly
are beyond parody.
And what about some of the comments? 'See when ah dive-bombed oot ra pie
queue to show jist how much ah hate ray orange bustards. Ah tell yi, ah
never felt so proud ae masel.¹ Apparently, what also swung it in TT's favour
was the fact that no matter what you do to a referee after the game has
finished? You will still never be asked to relinquish your season ticket!
The behaviour of those citizens of the fake Emerald City are in stark
contrast to real Irishmen who just a few years ago rigged Time Magazine's
Man of the Century poll. So much so, that an unknown Irish footballer, who
was plying his trade in Juventus reserves at the time had received a massive
57,000 votes. Which was way, way ahead of competition such as Albert
Einstein and Ghandi. But let's get back to the Septic minded. They are not
normal vote riggers!
You want another example of how the septic minded operates? No doubt you
will have read the news that Shota Averladze has been credited with scoring
Rangers 8,000th league goal. What we have to remember here is that Rangers
do not count goals scored in WW2 as being official. Therefore, are not
included in our table of achievements.
Let's take a wander down 'off on a tangent lane'. I personally, think it's
important at this point to always remember that Timothy is so dismissive of
the Second World War years, and of course the honours won respectively by
Rangers, and by his own team in that period. That many attempts, (And I
include Septic's official weekly rag here in the rogues' gallery) have been
made to pour scorn on Rangers' record in that era.
Let's see now. Rangers players didn't serve in the war effort. Or those who
did were part of the 'Back Every Friday' Corps/were working in the
shipyards, or a teashop at Govan Cross. It was all part of an Orange/Masonic
conspiracy I tell ya. But where Timmy's argument falls down is when you
realise that Rangers don't include any honours won in that period as being
official.
So where am I going with all this? Well, it's quite simple. Timmy tells you
that WW2 years don't count. Well, Rangers FC agrees with that argument.
Because not one single trophy won by Rangers in that period is included in
our official list of honours. Unlike Septic FC, who count the goals scored
back then for instance, as being official. It's so typically Septic is it
not? Timmy tells us that their Old Firm 8-1 defeat in the 1943 Ne'erday game
isn't official but the one solitary goal they scored that day is. They are
not normal statisticians.
But let's get hurtling back to the present day. A large Yorkshire pudding
wedged in yours truly's throat last Sunday as alter bhoy Roy Keane told a
disbelieving nation that 'racist terracing taunts make me sick' Not bad for
someone, who in the summer was calling his national (ex) team boss all the
English w****** of the day? I give you the Septic Diaspora. They are not
normal hypocrites!
I'm on a roll here, so let's keep with the 'Septic' family and their hatred
of all things English, which curiously enough does not in Timmy's brain
count as racism. Now it's not very often I link Frank Skinner to howls of
laughter. But I have to confess to that a large guffaw or two were had in
Chez Gub when I read that the Engerlish emblem was emblazoned on some of the new mhanks tops. Not so much 'Three Lions on the Shirt'. But rather, on the
dirt!
But I digress yet again. It's difficult to know where to start with last
Sabbath's showing at the little Munky-hoose? Now, the fun started before the
game when one 50-something Hibbee tube. You know the one I mean, Grey
bouffant and moustachioed to the hilt. (You couldn't miss him, he had a
whole section to himself) sat there showing off his Lion Rampant. Now
presumably this was a to upset Rangers fan or perchance two.
Let's see now. He supports a team whose founders came from Ireland. Many of
the dufus' around him still latch on and adhere to that old time Irish crap.
And this mhuppet honestly believes he's taunting me about my Scottishness?
Only in Scotland on awayday travels, eh?
However, if you want to mention a performance that took us beyond the
fringe? Then, Hugh Dallas AGAIN, took us into the twilight zone. Now believe
it or not, but I honestly do hate harping on about this would be Celtic
General Manager. But what about his allowing Arpignon to go right through de
Boer early doors?
There seems to be an unwritten rule, which Dallas is quite happy to enforce
at all times. I refer to the 'you can blooter a Ranger, and get away with
it, because it's the first bad tackle' law. It was the French fella on de
Boer on Sunday. It was Sutton on Cannigia in the Cup final. Lest we forget,
Riseth has escaped his wrath first time around for assault on league title
day, as has Malky McKay. I could go on. It doesn't matter what country you
hail from. Do it right first time on a Ranger and you just might get away
with it, appears to be the Dallas motto.
However, don't be lulled into thinking Dallas is a one trick pony. Don't
think it's all about bad tackles in midfield. This, would be Celtic General
Manager, can cheat us just about anywhere on the park. For instance, I've
been led to believe that a deliberate foul in the box, which ends up in a
penalty award, is an automatic yellow card. It could be worse of course
depending on the severity of the incident/last man stuff etc. Why wasn't
Lovenkrands' assailant brought to book last Sunday?
Lest we forget, he was quite prepared to wave away the technicalities of the
game when it concerned the punishment of Hibs players at times last Sunday.
A'la deliberate handball outside the box by the Hibs goalkeeper. But where
was his sense of laissez-faire, when Amoruso questioned ONE decision? BTW,
I'm not making any excuses for Amo's petulance. In fact, he is deserving of
a large fine. But it should be placed into context alongside what the
referee allowed to go unpunished from the Hibs' camp!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. He is a cheat and a coward, who
does not adhere to the rules of the game when it suits him. He should not be
allowed to play any further part in the story of Scottish Football. But hey,
silly me. I thought that should have been the way of it, after his
application to work for one certain club on the southside of decency was
knocked back a few years ago. Speaking impartially of course.
As to the performance itself? I have to say I was really pleased with the
midfield and the way Arteta and Barry Ferguson have gelled almost
immediately. This is a story which is set to run and run methinks. I have to
say de Boer looked a cut above at times and once again Lovenkrands proved
that his pace gives us an out that no one else can.
It was almost a satisfactory showing except for one rather important
department of the team. It was shocking to consider that having held so much
possession and threat, that we had to rely on a last minute penalty in the
first half to regain the lead. The manager simply has to find ruthlessness
and meanness at the back or face troubled times.
On now to this weekend. I see the scum are in town for their latest
pilgrimage to Ibrox. I also see they were their usual twisting and turning
selves on the Internet during the week. No prizes for guessing what again
dominated the debate. Yet it doesn't matter how many times the incident is
regurgitated, they will never accept that Simpson was in the wrong. They are
not football fans in the truest sense. It's not only that they glorify
Simpson's thuggery. They wallow in defeat at the hands of the yahoos because
they think they are getting one over on us.
For example. One clown said it only appears that Aberdeen raise their game
against Rangers because the gap is narrower than against Celtic. But how
then does that explain Dolly's schizophrenic football against both sides of
the OF in our 7,8 & 9 in a row years? How does that explain their
'uplifting' performances against us in Advocaat's first two seasons?
Another example of the lengths they plumb to twist events of that far off
day, is the latest corker that McCoist deliberately put Snelders out of the
game a dozen years ago with a desperate lunge up at Pittawdry in monsoon
conditions. This is absolute bollocks of course.
Anyone who was at that game knows the truth of what happened. Apart from
anything else, you only have to compare and contrast the behaviour of both
McCoist and Simpson before and after these two vastly differing incidents.
Isn't it also funny to reflect that Dolly can conjure up vivid images of
this game this time around, but can't remember those golf balls studded with
nails aimed at McCoist a couple of years later. Strange that.
It needs to be repeated one more. The best and only way to answer these
reptiles is to give them a comprehensive going over. Which will give them
more time of course to give us a few renditions of the Ibrox Disaster songs.
But hey, can we blame them, when gutter rags up in sheep central, threw in
the word 'Disaster' when talking about the game in midweek? Responsible
journalism. But only in Scotland of course.
Last word on Dolly for now. I notice that a couple of politicians up north
have been in the news because one has apparently tried to 'nobble' the other
with regards to a bigger sheep pen. I'm sure if the chap in question needs
any words of advice on the trials and tribulations of being caught live on
tape with your trousers down? Then he should get in contact with Kevin
McKenna immediately.
After all, the 'mad bomber' knows a thing or two about the subject. Lest we
forget he was daft enough to let his prejudices rip full in the knowledge
that the tapes were running right in front of his and our very own
Grandmaster Suck's disbelieving eyes and ears. Ho, ho and thrice bloody ho.
Still that's Timmy for you. He just hasn't quite grasped the concept that
some of us out here have the temerity to be affronted with his out and out
hatred of all things Protestant.
It was also International week, which could mean only one thing. Scotland
lost. Despite all the doom and gloom surrounding the national team. I still
believe that Tom and Jerry are doing the right thing with trying out all the
available talent at their disposal. The game is on its uppers here and I
very much doubt there has ever been such a dearth of natural talent.
I also happen to think that measuring success or failure in terms of
qualification for the next European Championships, or even World Cup, is
folly. That is how bad the situation is right now for our national game. It
will take goodness knows how many years to lift Scottish football out of the
doldrums. But enough of Scotland's woes for now.
I see there was another circus involving Kneel Lennon in midweek also. To be
honest, I think this bitter wee man wallows in the infamy of it all. Don't
get me wrong the hoaxsters have landed the yahoos with a further propaganda
boost. But the really sad thing is, they didn't even have to kick a ball in
earnest to achieve this unexpected victory.
But let's get back to Lennon and look at the facts. He has played countless
times for his country with no problems whatsoever. He then moves to
irafitbaclub and in a move designed purely to further ingratiate himself in
with the yahoos, he starts mouthing off that he wants Northern Ireland to
merge with the south. And he didn't expect hassle? Let's be honest here. If
he was a Croat and had wished for the same with the Serbs, then he'd have
been strung up.
As for the yahoos? You just cannot beat this mhob for insincerity. They are
warped to their very core. They confirmed 'the club will do all in their
power to support their player through a very difficult time.' Not to be
outdone, spokesperson Kate Cunningham said; "Club members are with Neil now and we spent last night speaking to the Police and the authorities."
Let's see now, they couldn't be out the traps quick enough to help when one
of their players is involved in a hoax inflicted on him by those big bad
Prods. But you do have to ask where was Celtic FC's involvement with the
Police and the authorities, when Ally Brazil and Co needed it most?
Keeping on the subject. A wee 'chooky birdy' told me that our very own GS
was on the radio on Thursday batting our corner. Leaving aside the fact that
the old adage, 'You've got a great face for Radio' was never more apt in our
esteemed Editor's case. It seems to me that he must have done us proud.
How do I know this, when I didn't tune in? Well a quick glance through the
various footy sites show that Timmy and Dolly are saying that he never
answered the questions put to him. Which translates for normal people as 'He
didn't give Timmy and Dolly the answers they wanted.' Timmy really does have
to look around and realise that the times are a changin. He really has to
let the message sink in that there are thousands of us out here, who don't
subscribe to yahoo propaganda.
Now we all know that cowards like Derek Johnstone and Mark Hateley are still
(or are supposed to be) the voices of Rangers on Radio. But a quick look at
FF on any day of the week you care to will show that the vast majority of
the Rangers support holds them in utter contempt. They don't think like us.
They don't talk on our behalf. They are not of us. End of story.
So Timmy, let the message seep through the hate fuelled ooze. We ain't going
away.
And on that note, I wish all bears and bearettes a nice three points full
weekend.
Yours in Rangers,
The Govanhill Gub
