I wonder if he took advice from Mr Peter Houston, who may have advised, as he did with D. Goodwillie, that moving to Glasgow would see him stabbed. Of course, that intervention probably allowed us, totally unintentionally, I may say, to dodge a bullet. (PS Happy Independence Day.)

Some years ago, The Milky Bar Kid reported, for The Times of London, no less, on a match between raSellik and Dundee Utd FC. The referee was Mike McCurry, who, some may recall, was a Baptist Minister. Rahoops' support subjected the the official to significant amounts of verbal abuse. Speirs' article described this as the History Men and jolly craicsters displaying ".....a natural denominational antipathy..." towards the official, with the clear implication (there was no criticism) that this was acceptable. To date, as far as I am aware, he has neither clarified nor elaborated this rather odd defence of sectarianism, nor on his implicit distinction between "natural", and acceptable bigotry, and that unnatural and unacceptable.
