Yeah, back in the day Peter used to Host pub quizzes in and around Lanarkshire. He would be accompanied by a Sellik ex-player or two for a Q and A before and after the quiz. We are talking thirty years past, you would see the advertising posters for the various pubs holding the events and Peter self styled himself as, 'Peter Martin - the biggest Tim in Newarthill'. I attended a fundraiser he was hosting in Thorniewoods Juniors social club at that time, he was showing films of the England v Scotland game of 1967 and the European Cup final of the same year. There was a Q and A and an interested party who clearly knew him, asked why he had changed his name? He explained it was because he felt his surname would lead to him being disadvantaged because of sectarianism. Interestingly, Peter Martin has been the recipient of two bans from Sellik Park by Peter Lawwell. On both occasions, it was because he had demanded ra Sellik Board invest at the necessary level to ensure Sellik were competitive among the top European clubs. Peter wanted to be seen to out-Yahoo Peter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 26th of foot 6,082 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2021 Comedic Exaggeration. 'Comedic exaggeration' was the phrase deployed by Stuart Cosgrove to excuse his big mate, Irvine Welsh. The Hibee had gone raj on the David Tanner hosted Hibs TV. Welsh casually utilised a sectarian term, "sticky bun" to describe Alfredo Morelos, then stated, "he should be chopped up with a machete and pieces sent to the corners of the globe to feed the seagulls". Of course, Cosgrove ignored the the awkward usage of, "sticky bun", because only Rangers supporters(or as Cosgrove wrote, "H-u-ns and typical orange wankers") can be seen to indulge in sectarianism. His proclamation of, "comedic exaggeration" is to ensure Hibs are not hit with a charge of bringing the game into disrepute. Further, Cosgrove has laughingly cautioned Hibs, "what do you expect from Irvine Welsh, he's up there with Jerry Sadowitz and Frankie Boyle" Thus Cosgrove's mitigation is initially to ignore, then widen, and finally ameliorate. We know Hibs will not be charged by the SFA as surely as we know, if similar comments were uttered on Rangers TV by a Rangers supporting celebrity, then questions would be aired in the Scottish Parliament, with Cosgrove's full support. Another PQ production, 'A View from the Terrace' addressed Welsh's comments on Friday evening last. I think with a bit more honestly. Unlike Cosgrove and Off the Ball, they played the tape of the Author sitting extremely comfortably with his preferred prejudice. Again, they did not broadcast the "sticky bun" comment, but Robert Borthwick who deals with social media on the show allowed the tape to run without further comment. No mitigation provided, viewers allowed to make up their own minds. Tomorrow, Rangers are set to appeal Keymar Roofe's retrospective red card, issued by a three person panel. The Compliance Officer designation is currently unfilled, Claire Whyte has moved on to a position within the Scottish Government. This in contrast to Morelos, the club have accepted his three match ban, quite correctly for the Columbian's stamp on Ryan Porteous at Easter Road. Being a St Johnstone fan, Cosgrove has provided no mitigation for Roofe, not needed, he is comfortable that these citations are almost exclusively Rangers players. There is a parallel between Cosgrove's demands and Rangers players, particularly Morelos. Remember last season at Fir Park, Alfie had been pelted by coins and scalding hot drinks, he scored the winner and ran to the claret and amber Ultras, running his flat hand across his throat? Cosgrove did not hesitate, such gesticulation was NOT "comedic exaggeration; he wanted Compliance Officer action. Further, Ryan Kent's double handed pistol shooting celebration at Sellik Park, was also an instance when the objective Gang Hutter wanted Compliance Officer action. If you confer with a Thesaurus, "Comedic Exaggeration" can be explained/substituted by the word, 'Amplification'. Cosgrove has a firm hand on the amplification control, up to eleven when accusing Rangers. When Rangers or Rangers supporters are targeted, it's turned down so low, you cannot hear a "sticky bun" comment. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only last year, his squeeze, Eilidh Barbour left him for a Sky female golfing colleague. Apparently, Chris did not have feet big enough to fill the spikey shoes? Further, Chris's bi-weekly appointment with Peter's cheese will soon be confined to warm nostalgia. Let's hope Connie and Eilidh are not sharing a beard? It would be too much. As emotions erupt in the Gang Hut, those listening carefully will hear Chris screaming, 'it should have been me'. Hilarious stuff.

26th of foot 6,082 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Cross Pollination? If anyone is interested, the cutting edge BBC Radio Scotland's 'Off the Ball'; hosted by the recently vaccinated Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan, has as today's guest, Connie McLaughlin. They have moved the show to a new Sunday timing between 14.00hrs and 16.00hrs. However, the show remains the same. Creepy Connie is the newly appointed Host of ra Sellik TV and as DrStu' and Tam keep saying, "we want to hear from Rangers supporters". It's good to see the traditions of PQ continue, that cross pollination between BBC Scotland and ra Sellik. Cross Pollination is important, transferring that hatred and Sellik mindedness from one pistil to another; protects every triffid from pernicious pests. BBC Scotland's Michael Stewart spent 12 weeks at ra Sellik TV earlier in the season, suitably pollinated, he has returned to bite, sting, and venomate all things Rangers(pests). Such invigoration is most necessary. I note referrals to the Compliance Officer has now reached 28, Rangers players amount to 18 of those referrals. As Michael Stewart announced yesterday on Sportsound, "ah but, they've(Rangers) have been getting away with incidents all season". What does Connie have to say? Will she mention this week's publication of the Scottish Government's inquiry into child sexual abuse in football? I don't think so , her brother, Chris did a two minute piece to cameras earlier this week that culminated, "all Scottish football has a responsibility to the victims". Put to bed. Connie is also a Life Coach, she has her own mental health organisation, 'Inner Buzz'. Will Connie extrapolate on the mental health of Neil Francis? Even better, if you remember, we were told early Autumn by said Neil Francis that someone had been hired by the club to strengthen the collective mental health of ra Sellik squad. Since, it's all gone very quiet, maybe Cosgrove can ask Connie how it went, particularly with Leigh Griffiths? Alternatively, Connie could be asked, 'your Sellik TV colleague Gerry McCulloch, is he even creepier than you'? Of course, it will be none of the above, Connie's inner buzz will not be rocked, she will be allowed to wallow in her beloved green'n'grey hooped heroes fantastic victory today in Perth. Cross pollination is important work and Creepy Connie is a hive of activity. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
