Also in ancient times, apparently.

For the avoidance of doubt: gutta percha must not be confused with cahoochie.

This latter is rubber, and derived from the French

caoutchouc.

What a coincidence.  Adidas are releasing a 'Dentist's Chair' Gazelle trainer next week - it celebrates Gazza's goal against Scotland at Euro '96.

 

I kid you not!

On Saturday, there were a few moments on Off the Ball where DrStu' allowed the curtain to be drawn back. In his 68th year, he has a thin skin. The website, 'Pie and Bovril' came up in conversation, and DrStu' mentioned there was a thread on said forum entitled, 'Off the Ball - is it any good'? 

 

Now, Pie and Bovril and DrStu' are old friends. The forum is a focus for serious Rangers hatred and it's owner, a St Boo fan called, Div McDonald was a regular guest on Off the Ball for several years. Really, it was a mutual masterbation brought on by the stimulation of Rangers hating. Over these last two years, there has been a parting of the ways. McDonald no longer appears and threads like the aforementioned appear on the site, generally castigating the tired and lazy pairing that is Cosgrove and Cowan.

 

A few weeks ago, DrStu' was openly stating he needs another five years on prime time radio, it's the exposure. Some hip young gunslinger approaching 75 years. His skin is thin and Pie and Bovril's threads are not helping his cause. On Saturday, he announced football forums were quickly dying and wondered aloud about Div McDonald? He said, "Div McDonald, where is he, we should get him back on, he'll need £30 these days".

 

Here's a guy boasting a property portfolio in 3-4 countries trolling a former mate, offering him thirty quid if he gets back to fawning behaviour. DrStu' the toad is a classy guy.

The Hollicom Pool of Talent?

 

Where to begin? Wednesday has 3 SPFL fixtures, Rangers are at home against St Johnstone so PQ sat Billy Dodds on the naughty step to watch Rangers TV. DrStu' was at pains to tell us all that Clive Tyldesley had a fifty a day habit of mentioning England's 1966 World Cup win during each commentary. Billy did not confirm, in fact said very little other than to offer brief half-time and full time reports. Pat Bonner was at a loss, used to talking exclusively Sellik, he was sent to Fir Park. The question of ra Sellik possibly fielding an illegible player at Rugby Park was NEVER going to be aired on PQ, so Pat had no Hollicom provided script. He observed the faceless cardboard cut-outs in the Fir Park stands and decided they were away fans and they outnumbered the home supporters? 

 

Big Dick had to intervene, of course he had made a complete cunt of the faceless cut-outs at the weekend, he thought they were representative of dead folk . Motherwell have entered into an agreement with a mental health charity and agreed to the faceless effigies to represent those folk in sufferance who go missing each and every year. Maybe PQ should consider replacing both Pat and Big Dick with faceless cardboard cut-outs? You would think Pat would be comfortable with closed stands, he was working for BBC Scotland during Ronnie Deila's tenure at ra Stade de Gadd.

 

Wednesday night's Sportscene also drew on the Hollicom pool of talent. The two guests were Stephen McGinn, grandson of former Sellik Chair, Jack McGinn and James McFadden. Last night's Sportscene had Julie Fleeting rawking the big white sannies. Clearly, Sellik's TV's Michael Stewart had paddled across the Olympic size pool in the sannies and provided Julie with the necessary flotation. Tune in to tonight's show to find out who is replete in the perfectly balanced Hollicom provided footwear?

 

If you read back on this thread, a big part of it was the weekly media review on PQ, involving DrStu' and Dr Eamonn O'Neill. A decade of no balance saw the show moved off the national megaphone, and on to Talk Media Podcast. Friday had Angela Haggerty on with ra twa' nationalists, ooooohhh all warm and fuzzy. They discussed John Swinney and the SQA, and all arrived at the conclusion that John should not resign, should not face a vote of no confidence, because the people of Scotland don't really want it. The tartan trio are imbued with such arrogance that they speak for the common weal.

 

Angela's Twitter feed is excellent, everyday we see another Sellik minded type stepping soaking wet out of the Hollicom pool. As well as Cosgrove and O'Neill being bigged up by Angela, she reveals her new born son, Francis has former Sellik View Editor, Kevin McKenna as his Godfather. Of course, Kevin was allowed to resign that particular designation, in light of the revelation he thought the IRA bombing of the Enniskillen cenotaph was, "a legitimate act of war". Recently, a number of photographs have surfaced of Kevin happily posing with a number of Sellik Boys' club officials, currently in the jail. Further, the benefits of swimming in the Hollicom pool has seen both DrStu' and Kevin pitch up as columnists on the National.

 

Yesterday's Off the Ball had Davie Farrell as the guest, today's show has Connie McLaughlin as the contributor. Even when Sellik are not playing, you have to establish your Sellik supporting credentials to have an opportunity at a PQ standard of life. Michael Stewart appeared on Sportsound on Saturday, he banged on about the unfair nature of the SPFL's dealings with the Aberdeen Eight and Bolingoli. Why were Hearts told to cease training? Further, why was Hull City training at the same facility in Edinburgh allowed to continue training? Well, he would NOT be allowed to voice off on such matters on Sellik TV. Actually, on PQ no one listened.

 

Finally, a wee bon mot from yesterday. Jason Leitch was on for 40 minutes again, I don't know if he's dropped the Professor bit or maybe the SQA have downgraded him? However, he provided the Scottish Government guidelines across the spectrum. The question not asked by DrStu', was asked by Big Dick right at the end of his contribution. He wanted to know if anything was stopping Hearts moving to Hull to continue their training? A stuttering Jason offered, "the First Minister wouldn't like it".

 

Anyways, ra Sellik are back on CL qualifying duty during midweek. The Blarney Bhoys will be reunited at ra Stade de Gadd and no one will deviate from the Hollicom provided script. The Icelanders will also be told not to even think about raising the question of ineligibility of players. The precedence set by ra Sellik against both Legia Warsaw and Sion must not be recalled. The Hollicom pool surface must always remain calm.

Today on BBC Shortbread.

 

Sellik TV's Michael Stewart is on the naughty step, Big Dick has announced, "Michael will be keeping an eye on today's game at Ibrox".

 

Tom English then leads a sniggerfest on the Morelos situation. Apparently, Tom has informed information that no bids have been received for Alfredo. Michael thinks Morelos has had his head minced. Guffaw after guffaw ensues. 

 

Unbelievably, it's Big Dick who offers, "he finished last year as the Europa Cup top scorer on fourteen goals".

 

I hope Michael has enough time to join his colleagues on Sellik TV at Tannadice. 

[26th of foot 6,082]

The Brotherhood of the Big White Sannies.

 

The BBC Scotland rehabilitation of Sellik TV's Michael Stewart is complete. He appeared on BBC Radio Scotland on Saturday's Sportsound and took responsibility for the naughty step. He watched Rangers TV inside a PQ studio, gave a single minute half time report based around Rangers having insufficient creativity. He provided a two minute full time report on Rangers 2-0 home victory against Killie. He provided the facts then interpreted those facts ie Rangers dominated possession, BUT ................., then Rangers dominated territory, BUT ................. Rangers had most attempts on goal, BUT ........................ In summation, five facts, five BUTS. 

 

Then, Michael disappeared before Craig Levein came on to provide insight to the upcoming Dundee United/Sellik match at Tannadice. Pat Bonner joined Craig to provide balance, Michael switched to Sellik TV where his lack of balance is legitimised.

 

Saturday evening's Sportscene had Michael on, replete in the now compulsory Big White Sannies. Between gigs at PQ, Michael can entertain the Gang Hut paddleboarding on the river in his Big White Sannies. Again, Mikey takes control of Rangers analysis. We are presented with a couple of minutes of areas of available exploitation ie Kent should be running into the highlighted shaded area. I thought we are defending well, no goals conceded in five league games. If Michael's hand is firmly on BBC Scotland's tiller of Rangers analysis, maybe that could be highlighted? Particularly, since the Killie/Sellik game, Michael did not want to talk about Sellik's £7 million centre-half, Jullien. Clearly, Hollicom tell Michael his actions, and PQ accept it. Is PQ a branch office of Hollicom?

 

He is not alone, Cosgrove is extremely fond of telling Rangers supporters what to think - we should forget about the Rangers Tax Case Blog, every aspect of Hagi's signing is wrong, Rangers supporters are H-u-ns and typical orange wankers, ... etc. Our participation is not needed, other than to pay our license fees. PQ are now resolved to talk at us, using the voice of Sellik TV.

 

Finally, Cowan asks on Saturday, "how do we know William Wallace is not a Rangers supporter"? Answer, "William Wallace paid his face painter". In between Cosgrove guffaws, he stutters, "incoming".

BBC Radio Shortbread has a near full house tonight. Ra Sellik are in Champions League qualifying action this evening against Hungarian league winners, Ferencvaros. 

 

Big Dick hosting, Liam McLeod commentating; both Dandies are most representative of visiting Dons supporters at ra Stade de Gadd, when they entertain by chanting, 'we hate Rangers more than you'.

 

The Blarney Bhoys, Pat Bonner and Tom English are offering heavily supportive comment. James McFadden rawks further Sellik credentials, and Kheredine Idessane brings that privately educated Yahoo perspective. We must forgive Chris McLaughlin, he cannot be party to Gang Huttery tonight, as he has just appeared on BBC Scotland TV news presenting ra Sellik's ire at today's Scottish Government decision to refuse fans' entry to the chamber of secrets this coming Sunday.

 

Reference contrast, tune into the same station in a fortnight's time, when Rangers begin their European journey. You will hear disinterest and constant criticism, inter spaced with sniggering and guffaws.
