That’s a fukin awful comment He’s a 66 year old man who was subjected to a sectarian attack, whether you like him or not that comment is ridiculous

It's alright. I didn't read it anyway....

I wrote the Match Preview for nothing...

What is this madness that's descended on us these last few days. I'd be condemning such an attack if the victim was draped in Celtic scarves at the time. We need to be better than this.

A wee wet pitch never stopped the game here ?

Considering what Barcelona and Real Madrid get away with this is a ludicrous decision

Good news, @Bluedell ! You have another 24 hours to read my match preview!!

Support your Local Team. Yesterday's 'Media Review' had the usual panel providing their predictable usual take on media events. The difference, after a dozen years, it was the last. DrStu', Eammon O'Neill, and Anna Burnside said goodbye to John Beattie and Anne Marie Watson, waving goodbye to the circus. Obviously, they knew it was coming for a while and probably explains last weeks seven minutes on the Scottish Finance Secretary's resignation, and 14 minutes on Michael Stewart/Jim Traynor. This week's, the last ever was equally strange. The starter topic was Philip Schofield's coming out on This Morning. Fifteen minutes of sneering attitude. Philip was not brave, his wife is to be pitied, and the consensus was the whole thing had been carefully choreographed. DrStu' wondered aloud, "Ah bet, there had been a rehearsal"? Dearest Philip was the subject of informed speculation, his mentoring of a young male Runner within the This Morning production company was raised twice in knowing euphemistic terms. I am not interested in Philip Schofield's sexual activities and am genuinely surprised it was worthy of such discussion? However, it was the duplicitous comments about choreography and rehearsals that stunned me; seriously, for twenty five years DrStu' has done that very same thing in dozens and doxens of 'Off the Ball' when discussing Rangers and Rangers supporters. How many Producers have telephoned in, armed with provided script in hand? My favourite occurred several years past. After a 2-0 defeat at Tynecastle, DrStu' hosted a supposed Hearts fan calling in from Newton Mearns with the nomme de guerre, 'Gordon the Jambo fae Glasgow'. Obviously, no Producer with the appropriate Edinburgh/Lothians accent was available, thus Newton Mortgage was conjured. Gordon the Jambo told of Hearts fans singing lustfully of Rangers being no more, and the future being dubious for sevco. Remember, several senior executives at the Beeb had to resign because of Producers calling into shows they were producing? there were no resignations at PQ. The next story to be discussed was the closure of the Queensferry Crossing ie the new Forth Road Bridge. DrStu' told us this was the very epitome of an SNP Bad story. All the journos were Unionists, finding traction from falling ice. The reports of folks stuck in traffic for three days were hysterical. Deliberately, they set out to undermine Scotland. Anna Burnside and Eammon were bored of the story, they all confirmed that none of them had to experience the ten hour traffic queues. Interestingly, Joanna Cherry MP on last night's Beeb Question Time spouted the same line(rehearsed), although she told of sitting for several hours attempting to attend a funeral. Thus, having taking a swipe at Schofield(and that will be because of some perceived slight on behalf of DrStu' back in his high heid yin media management days) and finding comfort again in his preferred political prejudice, it was time to support his local team. DrStu' has spent in excess of 25 years as a resident of Dennistoun, lives just over half a mile from ra Stade de Gadd. He has been consistent this last quarter of a century, nothing grinds his gears more than seeing RSCs and CSCs buses leaving Perth and other towns. Support your local team is the mantra. DrStu's last ever point on the Media Review was to encourage ra Sellik in their demands for a SKY apology, "we should all know who provided that translation on Morelos"? DrStu' confirms what we all knew, it's always all about the Rangers. PS : There was a wee bit about the Philip Schofield diatribe that rung, in the middle of sympathy for his wife and family. They claimed in their script to have been aware of Schofield's sexuality for several years and were okay with it. I thought DrStu' is a duplicitous cnut, I wonder if his wife and family know it, and are they okay with it? We should be told?

Thing is, we had already parked up earlier in day and after hearing news of postponement we drove passed the Albion carpark who were still taking £10 off unsuspecting fans entering. Not sure what happens in these cases.

F*&king shambles.

Unreal? Wow! How they going to have it ready?

You've misunderstood Bill. That "his remarks" comment was aimed at the quote Gonzo gave about Pamplona when Traynor was at the Record as a journalist, not as Level 5 consultant for Rangers

Given you yourself were set upon and hospitalized by Celtic fans for nothing more than being a Rangers supporter I would have expected you would have at least a modicum of empathy for someone being attacked for nothing more than having an association with our club. Very poor comment

Don’t you realise it’s one in the same? Doesn’t matter it’s Traynor (If you can’t act civil towards a 66 year old who has been attacked) but a sectarian attack on an ‘employee’ of ours Your comments are repulsive to be honest Open your eyes

And they have a point in doing so. UEFA have acted like judge, jury and executioner here and that needs scrutiny if nothing else. City have the tenacity and the financial muscle to take this to the CAS and see what the outcome is. I wish we'd had the backbone to do the same to the SFA and the SPL. Sadly we'll never know what CAS might have said about the 5 way agreement/death sentence we were forced to sign.

The Theatre of Hector. Kenny MacIntyre is a staffer at BBC Scotland. Mostly, he is known for hosting midweek Sportsound. I think he is the last Rangers supporting Staffer in the football department of PQ? Kenny MacIntyre is married, has three children of school age, has a mortgage, and other responsibilities. Whilst hosting Sportsound last week, Michael Stewart deliberately went off on a rant reference James Traynor. Kenny MacIntyre warned Stewart, then began to distance BBC Scotland from his views. Stewart continued with allegations about Craig Whyte editing Traynor's Daily Record columns(obviously, this comes from Whyte's book being released this coming Friday; and just as obviously, a few copies of the book were freely available around the Gang Hut before publication) and, 'not being a fan of the way Rangers do things as a club', he criticised Rangers conduct in making application for a Fanzone. Once again, MacIntyre distances BBC Scotland from Stewart's preferred political prejudice. Kenny MacIntyre was protecting and doing his job. Most of the usual suspects in the Gang Hut are Freelancers; DrStu', Big Dick, Tam Cowan, Michael Stewart, Jum Spence,.................... etc all enjoy a freedom of spouting an opinion without responsibility. eg Tam Cowan's school fees for his daughter's private schooling are not dependent upon cawing canny on Auntie Beeb and DrStu' doesn't need the comparative peppercorn fees to support his impressive property portfolio. Thus, it was most surprising on Saturday to hear Off the Ball begin with scripted opening lines in Spanish from DrStu', replied to by Cowan. A eulogising of 'Peter' by both for protecting Alfredo Morelos, and then came the, 'let's throw Kenny MacIntyre under a bus' for doing his job : DrStu' : well Thomas, today's show is indeed a landmark. This is the first time we have offered simultaneous translation to all our listeners. So, I have to say, Hola Escosia. Tam : Si Senor.what's that(theatrical sniff)? Have you trod on something by the way? DrStu' : No, I don't think so. Tam : Is this the studio where Kenny MacIntyre did Sportsound? Oof, dearie me. I thought you had let one rip? It's an absolute shocker, what a week it's been. DrStu' goes on to express concern for license fee payers!!!!! He defines Lost in Translation', tells us Jum Spence's favourite joke concerning Lost in Translation, lionises 'Peter' again, and wonders aloud, what is Spanish for muddle? DrStu' was specific in that ra Sellik should not be accused of racism. This thread has been running for over two years and Kenny MacIntyre's name is mentioned at regular intervals. The spectrum of accusation runs from shittin' himself to being untrustworthy, but more than anything else, his biggest demerit is being a fcuking H-u-n. I think MacIntyre had a Producer shouting in his ear during Stewart's diatribe, but both Cowan and DrStu' have decided to pile all the ridicule upon the Presenter. Being a Staffer, you would imagine BBC Scotland senior management would intervene? Being a Staffer, MacIntyre must have access to his Trade Union official, bullying, particularly constant bullying should be taken seriously? An excited DrStu' finished off by saying ra Sellik's complaint to OffCom was good because there will now be a published report naming all the names, "we can look forward to that" "What a week it's been"? Last Friday, Chris McLaughlin appeared on BBC Scotland's lunchtime TV news, his item was concerning Craig Whyte's book. As stated, advance copies have obviously been available in the Gang Hut for some time. Chris lost his professionalism when rhyming off some quotes. He got through, "the DUP offered Craig Whyte a photo opportunity to ease him through a local difficulty", similarly with, "Craig Whyte claims he edited James Traynor's columns", but lost it into an open laugh when commenting on Whyte's thoughts reference the Rangers Board before taking control, "they were all Pompous buffoons". He reappeared on the Scottish Nine and did the very same thing. It's a comfort that BBC Scotland had to promote Chris twice to remove him from the need for such bias on a daily bias. It is amazing that a clown such as Whyte is now considered the voice of reason. I am positive that McLaughlin spent years informing us license fee payers that Craig Whyte was a stranger to the truth? It would appear truth is a movable feast within the Gang Hut. Looking forward to that. DrStu's claim that ra Sellik should not be accused of racism is worthy of some consideration. On the 29th December at Sellik Park, Rangers visit resulted in a victory 1-2, and many knew there would be a price to pay. Now, the St Johnstone fan is no strager to NOT flagging up Sellik racism. He took on the job of updating BBC Scotland's landmark documentary, 'Only an Excuse' first aired in 1986. His sidekick Tam Cowan congratulated DrStu' on this feat covering thirty years by saying, "ah hope yer tongue has been retreaded twice"? DrStu' failed to mention Mark Walters debut at Sellik Park on the 2nd January'88. Despite testimony from the likes of now Solicitor, Gerry Britton; DrStu' thinks such events as the match being held up for a total of 12 minutes to remove the carpet of bananas in front of the Jungle, as awkward and inconvenient in modern Scotland. Despite knowing both sectarian and racist abuse was recorded on the 29th December at Sellik Park, despite knowing the Police were actively investigating the accusations, and despite knowing both sectarian and racist abuse allegations were included in the Match Delegate's report; DrStu' chose to say ra Sellik should not be accused of racist abuse. Still, 'Peter' will be happy with his efforts.
