The SNP members of Edinburgh West must be congratulated for their foresight and penetrative thought, picking Michelle Thomson over Stewart as their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate.

Sunday 11th November 

Livingsto 0-0 Celtic

Rangers 7-1 Motherwell

 

Strange but PQ seem to have forgotten to upload the Sportsound podcast for Sunday, they normally do.

 

 

In PQ podcastland it's as if it never happened. Monday, normally a day to go over significant weekend events hardly mentioned the first  seven goal haul of the top flight this season.

 

The Monday edition talked more about the rescinded red card of Morelos at Aberdeen of 100 days ago than our performance in scoring seven goals yesterday.

 

Scott MacDonald offered more analysis on a 7 goal Celtic victory over Motherwell from 2016 than yesterdays Rangers performance. It might have only been 15 seconds but that was more.

 

What was featured was over 20 minutes arguing the toss about whether it was a penalty when McHugh did his Sepp Maier impression. It was your now customary Michael Stewart righteous crusade that dominated the programme, rather than a proportional representation of events on the pitch.

 

Livingston didn't get any credit either but Celtic did manage to sustain the sensational form dialogue as they took their time drooling over why Ryan Christie got his contract extension.

 

St.Johnstone's excellent run of results got some time with Richard Foster in the studio and a couple of the veritable pack of Hyenas prepared the ground for a full-on attack on the Scotland manager in the coming days.

"we want to hear from Rangers supporters".

 

Since the turn of the year, it has become a constant refrain from Tam Cowan. I suspect those inside the PQ gang hut have realised they no longer speak to or for the Rangers support? Of course, it's important that they are seen to have some communication, the BBC are the biggest broadcasters in the world. They have tried VoxPops with Bears, introduced guests with the most tenuous Rangers links, and regularly claim that some regulars on their shows are Rangers supporters, when they are clearly not ie Wullie Miller. The BBC charter promises to broadcast to all, it's a pledge to license fee payers.

 

The bait laid by Tam Cowan was the ridiculous red card awarded to Daniel Candeias. He wanted to hear Rangers supporters' views? The means is social media, e-mails, tweets, facebook,.... etc. The show's Producer decides what is broadcast. There is no telephone communication anymore because it's a loss of control, and well how many Beeb Scotland Producers are still willing to call up, pretending to be Bears? Anyways, a few contributions were read out, a Bear claiming inside knowledge, and a couple of St Mirren fans; but hey, they have satisfied the license demands by claiming to want to hear from Rangers supporters.

 

It also fails on a more important level. These last four weeks, the name Kenny McIntyre has featured. He is reckoned to be the last Rangers supporting staffer involved with football at PQ. DrStu' has attempted to paint a target on his back on a couple of occasions. We know DrStu' is attracted by purity, and loves the idea of a cleansing. It's all very rational to his mindset, Rangers supporters, "are H-u-ns and typical orange wankers". To be fair to DrStu', he doesn't want to hear from Rangers supporters. On Saturday, Cowan re-introduced his favourite comedy sketch idea, he advocated the BBC Scotland 1979 Ricki Fulton/Gerard Kelly skit of Rangers supposedly signing their first high profile catholic. They pulled it from discussion two weeks back because they heard from Rangers supporters, the sketch was based on a false memory. Tam did not want to hear that Rangers had signed dozens of catholics in their first fifty years, "aye from you Kenny"; he re-framed the sketch as Rangers signing their first prominent catholic.

 

Really, it's all small potatoes because the bait was not intended for Rangers supporters, it was an attempt to draw out Jim Traynor. DrStu' suspected Jim had penned Rangers statement on the St Mirren match and was particularly interested in comments reference Willie Collum which included, "underlying issues". The PQ speculation was sectarianism is at play. The second half of the show had a guest that supported the underlying issue with Collum is his habit of running thirty yards with the red card already in hand ie not taking enough time to arrive at the correct decision. What is it with PQ and their constant need/desire to attack a former colleague? It has become a most unedifying habit. Perhaps, some transparency from Beeb Scotland is required, they want to speak to Jim Traynor.

 

On Sunday, the A Team was assembled in Livingston. Big Dick, Liam McLeod, Wullie Miller, Pat Bonner, and Scott McDonald spun a nil-nil draw into a really good game. The pitch took pelters, ra Sellik's exertions against Champions League level opposition on Thursday night was to the fore, and Dolly Menga MUST be cited by the Compliance Officer. At quarter to three, Rob McLean read out both teams and substitutes involved in the three O'Clock kick-off at Ibrox. The show finished at 3 O'Clock, another Dandy Don, Jeff Webster took over to talk Rugby until Five O'Clock. Rob McLean remained on the PQ naughty step to cover events at Ibrox. There was a few goal updates, and a half-time report; it was hilarious listening as Rob tripped his way through, seriously attempting to avoid mentioning he was watching RTV in the studio. Even Jeff Webster could be heard laughing in the background.

 

BBC Scotland's five O'Clock news and sports headlines told us all where they are at, we received a match report from Livingston, all the English football results, and the newscaster offered, "you can read the match report from Ibrox on BBC Scotland's website". Seven goals from the good guys was just too much of a choker.

Is this for real?  If those are his real tweets, this is an open goal surely?  If he really can be linked to those remarks, he should be forced to resign today.  I'm flabbergasted.  I wonder if Club 1872 could consider looking at this to see I feel there's something we can do as a support.

[JohnMc 2,754]

Resign from where? He's not employed by the BBC, or any other TV station, he's a freelance director and film maker. He's basically self-employed, this will have no bearing at all on his employment prospects, indeed it'll probably guarantee him commissions from Channel 4. 

 

He's a perfect example of the middle-class, politically engaged, professional Celtic fan, conflating apparently progressive issues with football and left of centre ideology. It's such pretentious bullshit. As the screengrabs show the lack of self awareness and simple hatred of 'others' confirm he's as intolerant and narrow minded as any other bigot you're likely to meet.

That’s it in a nutshell. And there’s thousands of the useful idiots.
