A pretty misleading title which misquotes Gerrard I thought

I think the choice of pic to go on top of the article says more about PQ than it does anything else.

 

You have Morelos and Broon in the pic, so far fine......but Morelos is out of focus whilst Broon is in focus with a sarcastic expression that suggests 'aye, that'll be right'. In other words, it's what PQ think of what SG is saying.

 

I'll C&P the pic in case they change it.

I don't think Brown is saying "aye, that'll be right" in that pic.  Looks more like he's just shat himself - so it could very well be a pic from December 29th as he clearly shat himself that day

Prince Bluster or Baron Blowhard?

 

Ten days after Rangers 1-0 victory over ra Sellik.

 

Immediately after the game's completion, BBC Radio Scotland had an emotional Pat Bonner lamenting ra Sellik's summer transfer activity. We should remember that the green'n'grey hooped horrors spent £9 million on Edouard. Pat lapsed into utilising the word, 'we' when ranting about the lack of support given to Rodgers by Peter Lawwell. He criticised the CEO further by quoting his reported £1.1 million annual salary with added £2.3 million bonus. The rant finished with, "and why we've spent £2.6 million on disco lights"? At this point, Tom English joined in with similar emotional gusto. Apparently, ra Sellik received their just desserts.

 

In total, there were four hours of broadcasting time after the final whistle, and everyone was in agreement. Rangers deserved their victory, the only question was the margin of victory the performance merited? Next day, a couple of hours was spent by Jeff Webster, Billy Dodds, Tom English, and Hugh MacDonald discussing the previous day's games. Again, nothing was mentioned reference refereeing. Current Sellik season ticket holder, Graham Spiers took to social media to tell his fellow Yahoos that their John Beaton conspiracy theories would not wash. The average rating for Beaton in various newspapers was between 7 and 8.

 

On the Sunday evening, Sportscene carried the first highlights, emphasising three incidents involving Alfredo Morelos. Dandy Don, Liam McLeod mentioned all three during commentary, quite a departune from his previous day's radio commentary, the emphasis then being on Rangers good fortune at a clearly deflected goal. Another Dandy and host of Sportscene, Jonathon Sutherland primed both Michael Stewart and Steven Thomson in their post match analysis with, "here's a thing". The thing being those three incidents, again. Alfredo was lucky was the concensus. Michael Stewart felt it would be hard to defend the Columbian if he had been red carded for booting Broonaldo in the baws. I will let retired English Referee, Dermot Gallagher do the defending, he pointed out that Morelos had his eyes on the ball, whilst raising his foot in an attempt to kick the ball over his head. Brown's leap takes himself to the right and out of Alfredo's eye line. Gallagher says no caution. In fact, Dermot Gallagher would have cautioned Morelos once, for his treading on Ralston.

 

A wee aside for the plethora of Dandies, they failed to amplify Shinnies blatant dive for their second penalty against ra Sellik earlier in the week. Further, Sutherland opening the week before show with Rangers supporters invading the Perth pitch, what about his fellow Dandies doing likewise after Aberdeen's second goal and game clincher at Livingston? Proxy sauce for the ram, and not the ewe?

 

The eruption was Christmas Eve, constant reshowing of the incidents, greater amplification, and a few more statements got things moving by PQ. The result and performance had been conscrued, the emphasis was the referee's performance. Eventually, ra Sellik make a statement; Peter has got to earn his combined £3.4 million remuneration this year. They all fall into revisionist line, Tom, Graham, Michael, DrStu' , ............... et al. DrStu' aware of his bread buttering, shouts again and again about Beaton socialising in the Crown Bar, Bellshill. Your right DrStu'; it's NOT Al Challtanin, your favourite fish restaurant in Calton Close. You know the one you have broadcast endorsements for on numerous occasions? I am sure the fact it's ten yards away from the front door of the Squirrel Bar(current gang hut HQ for the Green Brigade) allows YOU to dine in peace? 

 

Tom does a Worzel Gummage, he takes off his Prince Bluster head, he has whipped the baying crowd into the required frenzy. Today, he is Baron Blowhard. Referees being threatened and given police escorts to games is beyond the pale. "It damages the Scottish game". Those threatening referees, "are not fully formed human beings". Tom is the Chief Sports Writer for BBC Scotland. It's like Tom's take on those hanging effigies at Sellik Park. Two life size effigies hanging from their necks, one replete in Rangers scarf, the other in orange collarette, twisted in the breeze for eighty minutes underneath the north stand. Tom screamed, "we're talking about effigies today in the twenty-first century"; then, proceeded to condemn the wrecking of the toilets in the away end by Rangers supporters. He quoted the £30,000 of damage, knowing a long standing agreement is in place for the cost of damage to be met by the away club. What's the damage to the Scottish game of strange fruit twisting in the breeze, we won't know because the blowhard is too uncomfortable to talk about it.

 

Tom realises it, yabbering on about cracked ceramics is his safety valve. Actively creating a situation where a ref' has been threatened and is the recipient of police protection is also too uncomfortable, Tom becomes the sole arbiter of the image of the Scottish game. Tom doesn't think Beaton should explain himself openly to Sellik, he is now good cop to Peter's bad cop. Tom won't talk about the refs' strike of ten years ago, Peter has told him not to. Tom has been blowing the bugle on Peter's behalf, for those of us listening, he sounds more like a trumpet.

That photo only goes to prove that Morelos was totally looking at the ball and putting his foot where he thought the ball was coming. Never a red card in a million years.
