Pacific Quay Musings?

[RANGERRAB 3,680]

Still no real BBC PQ coverage of the fire bombing of Lawwell’s house?

tut tut what’s going on here?

A piece of bad news they can’t bury?

I was watching yesterday's BBC Scotland's Sunday Show when Humza popped up to give another penny lecture on anti-catholic vitriol and anti-Irish-racism. I was non-plussed at Humza being interviewed in Dundee? He is inside his house with two framed pieces of art over his shoulder. We can see a space with two tacks protruding where another framed piece of art had clearly been removed for the benefit of the webcam. I wonder if it was a representation of Neil, Brendan, Caesar, ......... etc? We should be told.

 

Humza is MSP for Pollok, he lives in Broughty Ferry. I note Pollok's other elected representative, Rhiannon Spear, Chair of Glasgow City Council's Education Committee, lives in leafy Shawlands. What is it about Pollok's elected officials that they don't want to live there? Maybe that's it, Humza has a picture of Pollok on his wall, to remind him. I would hate to think Humza is staring across the silvery Tay estuary, looking for his seat.

 

Does anyone employed at PQ live in Pollok?

From Pollok to Postecoglou.

 

BBC Radio Scotland have begun with a 45 minute discussion on the merits of Eddie Howe and revealed none of them know anything about Ange Postecoglou. Pollok is so last week, but the narrative remains the same. Big Dick is posted missing, another Dandy, Liam McLeaod seamlessly slips in to Host. The contributors are Tom English, Michael Stewart, Pat Bonner, Leanne Crichton and, Billy Dodds. BBC Scotland's Sports News Correspondent, Chris McLaughlin starts with a Sellik update, "I can confirm Celtic are involved in advance stage talks with Ange Postecoglou reference becoming the next manager of the club". I was disappointed, I wanted to know if his sister, Creepy Connie was continuing to oversee the mental health/strength at Sellik? Her 'Inner Buzz' has worked so well this last season.

 

Anyways, Tom and Michael launched into the demonisation of Eddie Howe. Michael raged, "two Bournemouth coaches have held Celtic to ransom on a maybe" and the former Sellik TV employee finished, "Celtic should have parked Eddie Howe several weeks ago.  Celtic are enormous and shouldn't be dependent upon Howe's prevarication". Tom emotes even more, "Howe's late, late decision shows him to be a weak character". I was wondering if anyone else thought Michael and Tom were trying too hard to get comfortable with Yokohama time?

 

Liam finished with a flourish, played Chris Sutton's contribution from last evening's Sportsound, "I am hearing Howe's backroom staff having seen recent events in George Square and the fire at Peter Lawwell's house, they have decided they don't need Glasgow life". Tom reinforces it immediately, "I am hearing what Chris says and it's a good theory". Finding himself on comfortable ground, Tom bangs on about thuggery and anti-Irish racism. Scotland's premier Historian, Tom Devine took to today's Herald to dismiss current anti-Irish racism, but as we know the national broadcaster does not do awkward and inconvenient when dealing with matters Rangers.

 

As for Postecoglou, the paucity of comment equates to Humza's knowledge of Pollok. 

 

In mitigation for Eddie, maybe his refusal of ra Sellik job e-mail has been residing in Dundee Chair, John Nelms spam folder for five weeks? Since Dundee have won promotion back to the Premiership, no one has asked if ra Sellik - Dundee fixture is still going ahead in the USA? John was happy being Peter's puppet, he would be even happier if Peter finally organised Sellik's post season tour of Japan. Imagine, how delighted all at PQ would be too? Tom, Pat, Chris, Michael, ................ etc could travel faithfully, pop into Yokohama and find out a smidgen about  ....... what's his name, ....... him from Pollok.

Any word on the petrol bomb perpetrator?

The BBC article on Mark Walters has an interesting first paragraph (the only one that appears when you first click the link).

"Documentary in which former Rangers player Mark Walters looks back at the racism he received playing for the club."

 

Reading that, one wouldn't know the racism was from yahoos and the rest.

There is a fear factor.

[compo 7,055]

Inform educate and entertain those were three of the words used by lord Reith when he was at the BBC I am afraid standards at every level have sunk to an all time low .

By the way Reiths  father was the moderator of the United free church of Scotland in his day .
