Oor Chum, Jum? I suspect Rangers are visiting Tannadice this weekend? The man Auntie Beeb let go(binned) twice because he could not(refused) to control his hatred for Rangers and Rangers supporters. I know the fixture must be at Tannadice because Jum Spence refuses to stray too far from the Tay. I know it is Rangers because Jum gathers together his hate filled finger buffet early. The first delicious bite comes in the wake of Pope Benedict's recent passing. Regularly, Jum eulogises his faith and, gives thanks for the strength provided. You would think the passing of the(a) Primate would demand respect? Nope, not when there is the opportunity to stick it on the H-u-ns, Jum Tweeted on Monday : "Farewell to the only Pope to get a well known delicacy cancelled at a Scottish football club's hospitality lounge". We are only three, four weeks past PQ's Dynamic Duo, RAB Cosgrove and Tam the Token discussing at some length and agreeing that the breakfast/brunch dish of Eggs Benedict had NEVER been on any menu at Ibrox in the first place. It was up there with Peperami being withdrawn from Ibrox kiosks because of green packaging and the Pitch having the grass cut in the shape of a sash. Why let hateful facts get in the way of a preferred warped story? Jum knows what he is doing. Now, Jum goes on to Tweet footage of masses being said Benedict's honour including lots of pomp and ceremony being mustered by the Swiss Guard. However, he misses a few helpful facts. Joseph Ratzinger when first elected Pope was subject to considerable unhelpful media coverage reference two photographs. One was of Joseph replete in his Hitler Youth uniform, the other as a member of the Luftwaffe. Pope Benedict sporting a Swastika is a tough image. The former is explained because it was German law for all 14 year old boys to join the the Hitler Youth. The other does not stand much investigation. Joseph Ratzinger became a Luftwaffenhelfer - a search light operator coordinated with anti-aircraft artillery. Aged seventeen, he began six months infantry training and, rejoined the Luftwaffe as an Anti-Aircraft gunner. The Vatican assured all that Joseph deserted soon after, having never fired a shot. This was surprising, a Luftwaffe battalion attached to a Waffen SS Division in northern Italy/ Austrian border area would have been a priority target for both the RAF and USAF. By Spring'45, the Allies had enjoyed nearly two years of air superiority, Typhoons and Mustangs would have been hitting continually. As an anti-aircraft gunner, it would have been a target rich environment. As the week progressed, Jum ramped up the hate, Sheriff Lyndsay Wood(Rangers shareholder) had a complaint against him withdrawn by the Law Society due to lack of evidence. Several Tweets supporting St Johnstone fans' complaint of their club awarding Rangers away support three out of four stands. Saintees are boycotting the Scottish Cup tie and Jum supports these actions. Further, solidarity with Establishment Club, he feels for ra Sellik and Angeball reference VAR, "other clubs are in the same boat". Finally, support for Police Scotland Union spokesperson, Calum Steele(you will remember after the Scottish Cup final of 2016, Calum Steel was the Clown claiming Rangers supporters threw their children in front of responding Polis vehicles). Jum resigned his position as Dundee Uni' Rectum because he said he did not have the time. I suspect Jum as a conservative catholic did not relate well to young Undergraduates, like Pope Benedict he walked away without firing a shot. Rangers on the horizon is too much, he needs cheering up. Why don't the Luftwaffe mark the passing of one of their own? A fly pass of a Stuka, Focke Wulf, Messerschmitt and, Heinkels over the silvery Tay will get Jum sparking his Jackboots again.

HEAVEN help us if Kyogo Furuhashi had missed. Can you imagine the uproar had the Celtic striker blazed his shot over the crossbar at Ibrox last Monday? Drawing 2-2 was bad enough for some Hoops supporters and their media cheerleaders. Had they actually lost to Rangers, we’d be talking about a full-scale meltdown. Ange Postecoglou has even chipped in, claiming everyone would have been up in arms if the spot-kick incident had been at the other end of the pitch. Where has he been this past week, the moon? Because all I’ve heard and listened to is moans and groans about how wronged Celts were. Ange insists he’s only thinking of the teams in danger of being relegated because this could affect them down the line. Sure he is. Let’s get it right. This is just another attempt to keep the Celtic supporters riled into believing the world is against them. Let’s conveniently gloss over the fact the rules of the game state the handball incident with Connor Goldson is never a penalty. Honestly, some of the guff that’s been talked about and written this past week, by people who should know better, has been staggering. But that’s where we’re at. It pays some people’s bills to have a pop at Scotland’s top referees. My big pal Chris Sutton is always blaming someone. Remember how he accused Dunfermline’s players of lying down to Gers on the last day of the 2002-03 season? He wasn’t moaning about penalties as Celtic lost the title when Alan Thompson got one and booted it over the bar at Kilmarnock. Our referees DO make mistakes. They are only human. And there have been times this season when Celtic have been on the wrong end of bad decisions. They were denied a clear penalty against Hearts at Tynecastle for a handball inside the box. But every supporter of every club in the country could point to incidents that have gone against their team. Not every handball is a penalty kick. Not every bit of contact is a foul. But for some, it’s as though it has to be. They say Old Firm whistler John Beaton should have at least gone to the monitor to review the Goldson incident. That the VAR, Willie Collum, should have instructed Beaton to take another look. But that’s not how this piece of technology works. The ref saw the incident in real time and made his decision. VAR is only there to help him if he thinks he’s made a mistake. And going by the rules of the game, which state Goldson is allowed to protect his face when the ball is smashed at him from three yards, it’s NOT a penalty. But then the pundits claiming VAR should have intervened are the same ones who would probably hammer VAR for re-refereeing games and controlling the refs if they stepped in all the time. It’s the outrage that gets me. Andy Walker had an argument with one Celtic fan on radio this week which was staggering. To claim our game is corrupt is baffling beyond belief when you think they have been the dominant team in Scotland over the last decade. Some people get it into their heads that our referees have an allegiance to certain clubs. They seem to forget that a huge percentage of the players who play in Scotland support Celtic. What do they do when they run out at Parkhead, roll over? Of course not. I’m sick and tired of the conspiracy theories that get bandied about by Hoops fans and former players. Do some people genuinely believe the game is rigged? Maybe we should just let Celtic win everything. Our referees would then be able to sleep at night without worrying about some idiot attacking them in the street. Because I genuinely fear that’s where this is all leading. If we’re not careful someone is going to get hurt.

I'll be honest, I fucking hate him. He suits them perfectly: a fat, obnoxious mess.

It makes it a bit less interesting and encourages daft rumours but I prefer it this way too.

According to Scottish Legal News, it was ...due to the complainer’s lack of confidence in the judiciary’s ability to deal with the complaint properly. David Grier, 61, had lodged a complaint against Sheriff Lindsay Wood with the Judicial Office in May. The sheriff was accused of a “glaring judicial conflict of interest” A decade on, I laughed at the irony of David Grier accusing someone of a conflict of interest. If I had known then, this is how things would turn out for him (and others similar too him), I would have cried. https://www.scottishlegal.com/articles/complaint-against-sheriff-lindsay-wood-withdrawn-over-lack-of-confidence-in-scottish-judiciarys-impartiality

He’s hit the bar with a 20 yard free-kick! Useless.

Early evening delirium for @Rousseauas Windass (for it is he) opens the scoring for Wednesday. Missed a couple in the first half.

Think I backed a couple of very sick horses earlier today 🤣

No chance him going to the EPL

And wait till results really start to go against him.

He’s worried now. That’s why.
