No Surrender.

I have long thought Mo bears an uncanny resemblance to Charlie Sheen, or is it John Cryer?

I cannot remember the last time I read anything by 'Provo'(his nickname at ra Piggery for over a decade); however, his labeling of popcorn teeth as both tedious and tiresome has merit. I would add 'psychotic', 'delusional', and 'unhinged'.

............... Apparently, held over until Thursday. Fast track justice and all that. Still, it will give the Lurgan Bigot time to dig up a lawyer.

Genuinely, I am surprised at the attitude among our own support reference both smoke bombs and flares. Both are initiated by detonator and as such require a 30 metre safety distance. A plastic seat being alight could just have easily been a child's clothing. Pyrotechnics are NOT for football stands.

Reference STV's Chief Reporter, Mike Edwards. When we played in Tranmere a dozen years past, Edwards was dispatched with a camera crew the next day to record locals' views on a ruck that occured in a social club next to the ground. The broadcast piece began with a lingering close-up of a blood splattered pavement, Mike Edwards voiced over a tale of running battles. Sheer fantasy was outed when local Bears pointed out that Edwards piece had been filmed outside a main street butchers shop. A delivery had taken place minutes before.

Haw Neil, your sitting in the Drake Bar on the corner of Woodlands Road and Lyndoch Street, Thommo, Bitter Martin, and the usual retinue are sycophantically making the appropriate cooing noises. You are dealing with your latest under achievement by indulging in ridiculous tweets. Here is my advice. Apply your tongue to the vast expanse of glass on the west side of the bar. Hhhmmmm, that's good, isn't it? A wonderful cooling, calming effect. Don't be afraid or ashamed, embrace your destiny as a WINDAE LICKER.

The lip readers are already claiming Lennon's remonstrations with the referee included accusations with the word, "cheat" repeatedly voiced.

Apparently, all major supermarkets are refusing to refund monies to tens of thousands of Yahoos wanting to return vast amounts of jelly and ice cream. However, they will exchange said items for JAM TARTS.

I listened to Ronnie McDonald's interview with Rheinhart Gordon on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday, and as above shows, it was most interesting. Articulating sympathy for the Rangers support was a breath of fresh broadcast air. In the unseemly rush to stick the boot into all things Rangers, we the supporters who have done nothing wrong, are the collateral damage bonus. The BBC report omits a crass comment from Rheinhart Gordon. Ronnie McDonald is the outgoing Chairman of Hamilton Acas and big AmDram Queen, Gordon enquired why? McDonald stated he thought it was time for his deputy and a couple of new additions to the Board to have their time in the sunshine. Further, he dismissed all the rumours speculating on the real reason, from a terminal illness to taking charge of Rangers on Monday. Rheinhart did not miss a beat as he retorted, "what would you rather have, a terminal illness or control of Rangers"? McDonald replied, "I won't go there". Most Gersnetters will know Gordon made a similarly crass comment 5 years past on his, 'Through the Window' programme. He made great play on an e-mail received but wanted to clear it with his Producer before broadcast. It took 30 minutes but after the transfer window closed, he read out, "Edinburgh Zoo have accepted the transfer of Rangers player, Filip Sebo; they plan to exhibit him". This was 18 months or so afeter a semi autobiographical programme on BBC Scotland Presenters, where Rheinhart's contribution contained the line, "I was brought up to absolutely hate Rangers". It would appear that Richard Gordon continues to prove he is a product of his conditioning.

Some 30-odd years ago Groucho Marx penned an auto-biography entitled, 'Hello, I must be going'. In the tome he explained why he never joined a golf/country/gentlemans'/social/........ etc club. He reasoned that any club that would accept him as a member was no place he wanted to be. I feel the same way about ALL those involved in purchasing our club. I suspect a tick box of self interest in ALL of them. The whys and wherefors should simply be, 'Rangers speaks to me'.

Craig Whyte - the Delusionist.

The O'Hara brothers, Brendan and Diarmid are real Sellik establishment. Brendan's own Production company is behind all those, 'that was the season that was' documentaries. Further, he produced 'Scotland's Greatest Album', a series of 4 one hour programmes hosted by Clare Grogan, Chaired by Joan McAlpine MSP, the panel of four included Pat Nevin and songwriter, John McLaughlin. Brendan O'Hara was the SNP's spokesman on sport some 20 years past. Brendan was a regular contributer of ra Sellik 'zine, 'Not the View' for several years. Due to his family's involvement in the founding of ra Sellik, he had shares in the original company and could attend the AGMs. He was responsible for most of the feedback from these small affairs. During MON's tenure, Brendan was BBC Scotland's Head of Sport. Currently, Diarmid is BBC Scotland's News Editor. A couple of months past, BBBC Scotland's Chief Football Reporter, Chris McLaughlin held his mobile/Blackberry to camera whilst outside Ibrox. It contained comments on the Rangers tax case by a username, 'H-nskelper', Phil McGillivan's nomme de guerre. Do you think Diarmid cleared that piece of triumpha;lism before Chris did the needful?

Wait a minute. When we entered Administration several weeks past, were Dundee United one of our creditors? If so, why are they receiving preferencial treatment reference the rest of our creditors? Is the SFA action legal? Interesting, given the other thread on Stewart Regan's outburst and walkout on Rangers supporters last week. I believe the question that tipped him was, 'what have you done to help a member club with 140 years of history'? It appears he has moved with alacrity to aid Dundee United.

Reference the Lurgan Bigot being unable to take a seat in the stand because of fears for his safety. From memory, Lennon has attended Ibrox at least twice this season to take in a game. He sat in the stand/Directors Box without interference. Thus, who advised yellow teeth to NOT sit in the stand, his minders or the Police? Question to yesterday's Match Commander, can you provide adequate security for drama queen, Neil Lennon?

I sit in Bar 72, right on the centre line, thus looking up the tunnel. Lennon booted his dug out seat before half time(this was the second such incident, the first after the initial sending off), the fourth official sat him down and had a 30-40 second word. At half time, he disappeared up the tunnel but could be seen at the far end, waiting on the referee. I could see him gesticulating before both he and the officials turned the corner. Lennon claims he spoke quietly to the referee, informing him he disagreed with his decision to send off the Korean. Further, he claims he has witnesses to the incident. He sites returning to the away dressing room and giving his team talk and was returning to the dug out for the second half when he was informed by the fourth official he had been denied access by the referee. Lennon claims he was denied access to his place of work and stopped from doing his job. He stated this decision was, "a joke". The line being peddled after the game was he did not feel safe in the main stand and decided to watch the second half on a TV in the media room. I am sure Vincent Lunny will pen another letter to Lennon, apologising for the nasty ref' and providing assurance that clarity and transperancy will prevail.

Agreed. Every time he took the ball in, his head was up. He pinged passes with pace, particularly on the diagonals. He interacted well with both Davis and Edu, little lay-offs keeping the moves going. I do not want to put pressure on the lad by comparrison; however, his constant supportive positioning and crisp passing remind me of Ray Wilkins.

Jeanette Findlay should be provided with every platform, she is truly barking and is determined to display this trait at every turn. You must wonder why the University of Glasgow continues to employ such a tunnel visioned clown as a Senior Lecturer?

You do know in the last decade that Alsatians as a breed are considered a poor choice as a family dog because they are so inbred. Often, the hound barely reaches 4-5 years before hip replacement surgery is required. Those that receive the appropriate proceedure can be seen replete in the plastic neck guard, to restrain them from licking the large operational scar. I suspect society would benefit from the increasing Alsatian experience. Ra Yahoos are inbred too and should be required to wear the cone of shame around their brass necks. It should be a cone-tract of their very existance.

I'm guessing that some websites are fuelling their hatred as many seem to call up with the same points. These last few weeks, I have been toiling amid the blossoming almond and olive trees of Mallorca. I feel comfortable, the Mallorquines who attend the Son Mois refere to themselves as, 'the Sufferers'. I have not participated much as my beloved Rangers lurch from one crisis to the next as the hours go by. Bluedell's comment about a website fueling the seemingly perpetual motion of green'n'grey hatred is partly true. About 18 months past, the usual Phil McGilliven suspects formed themselves into the CCC(Sellik Cyber Crew); seriously, middle aged folks, some in professional jobs decided to combine to effect/affect both broadcast and print media. They scored hugely with Dougiegate in October 2010 to January 2011. They seized an initiative and did not let go. Confidence gained and new members willing to facilitate new avenues, the next target was Rangers and HMRC. The Whyte debacle has proved to be an unbelievable bonus to them. They decide the week's topic and flood all outlets. It is a snowballing success. Since the satisfying end(ie to their satisfaction) to Dougiegate, they no longer self congratulate CCC, no mention is made these days but the practice continues. The last reference was BBC Scotland's Chris McLaughlin chortling at holding up his mobile phone to camera with John Gordon's 'Hunskelper' username featuring prominantly. He was blaming this success for no one at Saturday's Fighting Fund meeting at Ibrox prepared to talk to him. Anyways, back to the Pa Amb Oli and Maice Batle

Liewell by name, Liewell by nature.

I know I am labouring an unedifying seam here but the third day of this trial is more of the same. The suspect package(another large envelope) sent to Cairde na Heirann's(Friends of Ireland) shop at the foot of the Gallowgate did not arrive. Again, it was intercepted at the sorting office and sent to the PO's misdirected office in Nothern Ireland. They thought it suspicious and their security officer opened it to find the usual ensemble and immediately declared it, "NON-VIABLE". Compare and contrast the coverage of last spring where the implication was each individual being in recept of viable devices. I note that even BBC Scotland Ceefax pages have relegated the court reports to page 4 of four pages. Again, I accept there was intent and the court should have to deal with this fact. However, the reporting has been a fantasy designed to fuel the bonfire of vicTIMhood.

Michelle McManus was the cause of the catastrophe befalling the Costa Concordia, let me explain. After the cancellation by STV of her awful show, she retreated to the west coast of Italy for a period of reflection. A tribe of Inuits saw their opportunity, kayaking from Greenland to club her on the beach and secure several winters of sustenance for their families. Michelle took to the water and quickly presented a hazard to navigation. What could the poor Italian skipper do? Banging the bird on the bridge whilst attempting to steer the ship around the bobbing Michelle, too much for any man. Last week Michelle was seen in Baillieston Main Street, the black and blue marks remain clearly visible. It's the stigmatta of guilt, all those barge poles left their impression as she was pushed astern.

Danny, I agree with your comments reference perception of the average Joe. However, the vwider perception is accrued through the reporting auspices of the media. Accurate reporting is fundamental to objective perception. The thrust of the post is about the journey. There is a military maxim, 'always reinforce success'; I have seen and heard it put another way, 'keep up the scare'. Last spring, the latter was very much in play. The presented perception was of Neil Lennon et all receiving letter bombs. Now, the accuracy of court proceedure informs us, an envelope stuffed with nails, wires, and a watch was intercepted at the sorting office. The reporting was akin to former Daily Record Chief Reporter, Anna Smith's notorious line on any fellow Sellik supporter involved in violence, "the police are refusing to rule out a sectarian motive for the attack". It would appear that the devices were as viable as the reporting.

You mean, you mean, you sneaked in ra Bhoy's gate?
