DMAA 3,658 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Credit where it’s due, no excuses and no nonsense from Sportscene tonight. They gave us full credit and did a good job of showing how good we were. It helps that McCann was on. But Michael Stewart had actually predicted a 2-0 win for us. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 26th of foot 6,082 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2020 Michael rowed the boat ....... into uproar. Go back a fortnight, and Michael had a firm hand on the tiller of the good ship, ‘SS Corporate Sellik’. The out of Puffer was crewed by fellow jolly jacks, Neil Doncaster and Mike Mulraney. The boiling briney had delivered the craft into the safe harbour, PQ. Michael presented the Lawwell case for significant numbers of fans returning to Scottish football, particularly Sellik Park. A ninety minute Vital Spark special. Cosgrove was not happy, Jum was mutinous, Jason Leitch dismissive, and Nicola took the huff. The international week did not help, Michael didn’t get what the National Coach was trying to achieve, “the system is all wrong”. Again, Michael’s usual supporters took issue; Pat Nevin went as far to say, “Steve Clarke has Scotland playing with sophistication”. Michael is a vain Skipper, and a self-appointed tactical genius. Last weekend, on BBC Radio Scotland with Jane Lewis and Neil McCann, he took a bleaching. Discussing the upcoming old firm game, Michael raised ra Sellik colours and called, ‘full steam ahead’. Rangers were bottlers, in fact serial botltlers, their performances after each new year proved it. Of course, there had been a marginal improvement under Gerrard, “we can see that in Europe”. He weighed anchor with, “when will they be able to handle the pressure”? Pirate Neil lowered the black patch over his eye and bellowed, “arrrrghhh”. Swinging on the end of a line, buckling his swash, he boarded with swagger. He told Michael he knew little of pressure, explained he did know, because he had played five years at Rangers, and every day was a pressure day. Further, he cut Michael about the head with the trusty truth, “you cannot know the pressure, you have never played for the old firm”. I swear, there was a snigger rolling around the studio at the delivery of the line. Since Saturday, Michael has been severely critical of Lennon, his team selection, and tactics. He has praised both Rangers and Gerrard in acknowledging we can only beat what is put in front of us. Again, on Sportsound on Sunday, he teamed up with Jane Lewis and first team coach at Motherwell, Maurice Ross. The former Ranger was brutal in his assessment of Lennon and the tactics deployed, “Rangers did not get out of second gear because they didn’t have to”. Further, Ross is of the opinion, “Rangers are the best coached team in the country”. Captain Mikey was in full reverse, he agreed with everything Ross said. The biggest betrayal of Neil and all who sail in him, was Sportscene. Michael sat there minus the big whites Sannies, he was uniformed with McFadden and Thomson, black trainers with white soles. This Fletcher Christian act, is just that, an act. Today, that other blowhard, Cap’t Phil of the Pedalo, ‘McFournames’ has revealed from his usual, “very well placed source”, Dermot Desmond has called both Lawwell and Lennon to heel, and told Neil he has a month to sort out the mess. Apparently, Michael applying pressure is all part of the Dermot plan? Whatever, give Michael the job, he is a tactical genius. Give him an outboard motor, rowing is beneath Mikey. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,082 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Tagine Kheredine. Like the North African cooking pot of the nomads, Kheredine has the reputation of being eternally moist. A professional, he brings the necessary enthusiasm to each topic he covers. Keeping the lid on it is another of his strong suits, and rawking lap dog loyalty is no problem either. A decade of trailing Andy around the tennis circuit must have stimulated the thought of an Andy-apricot combination? His biggest advantage is, not being Chris McLaughlin. Further, he doesn’t possess a creepy sister, Connie taking every opportunity to promote her life coach business. Last evening’s BBC Scotland’s news carried a four minute piece previewing Scottish clubs’ participation in the group stages of the Europa Cup, and Kheredine Idessane was the man. It was inevitable, application of some privately educated salve to a five year running sore. Rangers and Rangers supporters are often ignored by the national broadcaster, this season so far, our participation in Europe has been the epitome of a Curate’s egg. A couple of commentaries by proxy ie watching Rangers TV in a PQ studio, and providing secondary, disinterested descriptions. BBC’s previews for the qualifying round included all British clubs including Dundalk, but no Rangers. Kheredine spent three and a half minutes at ra Stade de Gadd, interviewing Neil and talking up the overwhelming positivity at the ground. Neil is praising his players, they have achieved so much in the past, they will do so again in the future. All sounds a bit Connie MCLaughlin that, could she be the reported Dermot Desmond funded psychological help for Rangers Sellik squad? AC Milan are BIG TIME, and Rangers Sellik play their football in the reflected glow. The last thirty seconds of the piece was Kheredine upon the Hinshelwood grassy knoll. Silhouetted by the Ibrox main stand, we were told of Rangers good fortune. Liege have three players ruled out by COVID, just like Saturday’s circumstances at Parkhead. That’s it, no positivity, no aspirations, no managerial interview, just lucky bastards. We know Kheredine does not carry the same toxicity as Chris, but he is a Sellik man. I would advise Kheredine to do what every other BBC Scotland employee does with matters Rangers, run far away and hope Andy Murray embarks on the senior tennis tour soonest. Why can’t they find someone to cover our games? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Here are the second and third paragraphs of the BBCs report of the match. My word, you would never know they didn’t register a shot on target and we were actually far more threatening than they were throughout the game. We clung on, that’s the story. And they say Muleka twice “headed” against the bar despite the fact they know fine well that the second one was a deliberate hand ball and not a header. The Ibrox club rode their luck at times after James Tavernier's 19th-minute penalty broke the deadlock. Jackson Muleka twice headed against the bar in the first half and Standard pushed hard for a leveller after the break. But Gerrard's men held firm in front of more than 3,000 fans in Belgium to start with a win. Edited October 23, 2020 by DMAA 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,751 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Just checked the BBC website and surprise, surprise...are we the main headline after beating a team on their own patch for the first time in Europe in 6 years? Of course not. Instead we are blessed with the story of how plucky Celtic rallied against Milan in a 3-1 home defeat 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. Instead we are blessed with the story of how plucky Celtic rallied against Milan in a 3-1 home defeat It’s absolutely bizarre. They are the very 1st story on both Sport and Football. Despite the fact nothing even happened, big team beats wee team. We are the 8th story in the Football section despite the fact that it was a notable away win for a British team with a goal of the tournament contender. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just watched their highlights. Aside from their goal, a header from a corner, they didn’t even create anything. Two shots well over the bar and one low and easily saved from the edge of the box were their best chances. They didn’t register a shot on target during their “rally” aside from that header. Yet “despite rally” still made it into the headline. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
