A big blow, I believe. I had Forrester marked as a One Eyed Jack, floating, confusing the fhilth, none of whom have played against him before, and making a major impact, something like Toto Schillacci @Italia 90.

If this player, Immels, is wont to regale the support with songs such as "We are going on a Jew Hunt", then, frankly he has no place at Ibrox. indeed no place in Scotland.

Rasellik has an overblown, overpaid, and over rated squad of players. I read recently that there were 16 midfield players alone on the books at Porkheid. Small wonder that the wage bill is astronomic. Mark Warburton has said, consistently, that he favours a lean squad, so even if Rangers paid wages commensurate with those on offer at the Piggery, it is unlikely that the total bill would approach that of the Green Dahlia's squad. Let us look forward to The Magic Hat's lean, mean, football machine leaving the bloated green and grey carcass somewhere in its wake next season........

It is clear that, when the Authorities elect to kick Hampden Park into touch, thon Piggery at Parkhead will become the new "National Stadium". There is already a discernible campaign celebrating its wonderful, unique atmosphere, alleged popularity with support, and players, and a drip, drip, drip of black propaganda against Hampden. Hampden, of course, is a dump, and the monies spent on rehabilitating it, a waste, but The StuporBowl? Really?

It seemed to me that Denmark managed to master the conditions, except in front of goal, but that was hardly the fault of the pitch. It did, however look, well, scabby.

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.
