A High Noon Turkey Shoot.

 

Tension rippled through the PQ Gang Hut on Sunday morning. The Narrative must be protected, Auntie demands strict adherence, threatens transgression with strict liability. Reassurance is right next door, Mikey has our backs. Two dozen camera angles is big artillery, any forward movement by the H-u-ns and an air burst of off the ball incidents will saturate their expectations. This week we will let the hope kill them. The narrative is a mantra, 'Rangers have NOT been improved by Steven Gerrard'. The tension begins to defuse, Gang Hut members find solace in the narrative.

 

On Sunday, the Gang Hut was populated by Big Dick, toting numerous lines of communication with Mikey. Tom English, Billy Dodds, Jim Duffy, and Neil McCann sat watching Sky Sports, whilst Rob McLean commentated from the same means. It took three minutes for the narrative to feel the pressure, Tav' scored and Rob McLean articulated the alarm. Half-time was 1-0 Rangers and thus the topic for discussion for the next twelve minutes was, Jim McIntyre being the recipient of the tin-tac by Dundee. Scott Brown was running down the Ibrox tunnel, when Big Dick brought the chat back to the game they were covering. 

 

Mikey had screamed, 'shot out'. Big Dick spent the remaining three minutes of the break demanding Defoe be cautioned for simulation. He pointed out he had struck out at the Hibs Keeper last week and here he is having a kick out at Simunovic, whilst throwing himself to the ground. Big Dick was in full venom spitting flow, reminding the listeners of serial offenders, Morelos and McGregor. We can only assume Mikey didn't spot Simunovic's elbow on Defoe, or maybe he did, but it was contrary to the narrative.

 

The second-half progressed and the Gang Hut was galvanised by Flannagan's elbow. No equivocation, straight red; however Kevin Clancy was right not to award a penalty, because the ball was not in play. Then, the walls came tumbling down. Rob sounded as if he was being fisted by an Anatolian wrestler, as Kamara ripped the Broony, and passed to Defoe who sublimely dummied, Arfield finished with aplomb. Spluttering, gasping for air, Rob succumbed to each thrust and the inevitably of the narrative being rammed home without lubrication. 

 

Full time saw the narrative being restored, it was patch repaired, renamed SS Titanic and presented as a safe vessel for Arctic navigation. Mikey was still shouting Flannagan and elbow from the sidelines; later on Sportscene, we would be presented with ten separate angles on the incident. It was the sonorous timbre of Tom that stilled the panic. The narrative had morphed into Brendan bailed, Lenny had been tasked to win the triple treble. He read out a list of eleven Sellik players who will leave the club next week, and a further list of six players with one or two years left on their contract. Dermot Desmond was cast as Virgil Tracy, rocketing across the silver blue to rescue Sellik.

 

Jim Duffy agreed, Sellik will spend, Rangers cannot match Dermot's reach. Soothing calm is almost restored, when Jim throws in, "ah don't think Neil will get the job, if has the job, he would know by now". The narrative is sinking and Virgil is more intent on stringing along Lady Penelope. Tom grasped the nettle, "Steven Gerrard has signed some turkeys". Neil McCann filleted Tom, he let him know he was not falling out with him; but calling professional players turkeys was disrespectful. He offered, Rangers have improved considerably under Gerrard, he asked for Billy Dodds to confirm, "Billy and I know as coaches, the enormous amount of unseen work needed to effect such change"? Billy decided to keep his EBT sheathed, Neil battered Tom around the head with his. Tom acknowledged improvement, but it has come too late. Big Dick added, "there's been improvement, but it has been hard to see"!

 

No post match interview with Lennon, thus the only manager telephoned post match by PQ during the entire Ibrox season, is Derek McInnes after Aberdeen's 0-2 quarter-final replay victory. PQ spend more time servicing the narrative than they do servicing license fee paying Rangers supporters.

The invective by Gordon and English on that programme on Sunday was Pravda-esque. When will Tony Hall get his act together? Oops, silly me, Ken McQuarrie continues to work him from the back.

Not my place to do anything but IMO 26th's weekly column certainly deserves a wider audience.

 

eg. Twitter account, FF, etc.

It's a bit like Laudrup playing in Scotland.

 

I can't get over the fact an ex-pongo is such a wizz with words
