Taxpayers do not sponsor lazy gossips

1055

I know what you were thinking; Zenden, like Ljungberg, but older.  We need experience in the squad but with Commons, Ledley, Samaras and McCourt all able to stake a claim for the left midfield position this is the last place we need to bring in a 35-year-old.  Best of luck to the player but I’m pleased he has left Glasgow.

Today’s Sun report that a senior policeman witnessed a crime being committed but instead of doing what he is paid to do, he reported the incident to Uefa.  You have to wonder about the veracity of the crime.  The officer will do well to explain his actions if they amount to anything more than a few lines in a newspaper.

We are all partisan in this city but Justice is blind to such emotions and taxpayers (that’s you and me) do not sponsor lazy gossips.

    Sobering thoughts from an intelligent man.

     

     

    I remember early interviews on TV with Salmond-he ALWAYS talked over any questions he did not like. He then taught the rest of his party to do the same. The tactic of a political bully.

     

     

    I may have been one of the early posters about the forthcoming storm-IMO-but I had the benefit of having spent most of my adult life in NOT Scotland,seeing things differently,and having few responsibilities.

     

     

    It was easy for me to leave,and as such,it was easy for me to say so.

     

     

    You sound about the same age as me-48-so I commend you for your balls.

     

     

    But you also have knees-don’t let one of them jerk you in the wrong direction…….

    Yes i was told they normally let fans view inside the fence no reason known why it was stopped today

     

     

    Was talking with Tony Watts agent, he is pleased with how he has progressed in his first year of his contract, him and George substituted together today

     

     

    Heard we have a 74 players on professional contracts at Celtic astonishing amount of players

  3. Wonderful piece of historical revisionism in the Rangers Media website piece on The Rangers of World War Two: subtitled with no evidence of irony as “Blueskrieg”

     

     

    Here are a few highlights:-

     

     

    “The most famous war of the last hundred years is without doubt World War Two. We all know the history – Britain almost single-handedly keeping the Nazis at bay as France, Holland, most of USSR, Czechoslovakia and most of Scandinavia fell under the fascist jackboot until we could launch an invasion of mainland Europe alongside the USA, while the USSR fought back on the eastern front.”

     

     

    To bring it to home more, Rangers as a club were wildly successful during WW2, winning unofficial Southern League titles and other cups. Due to the outbreak of the war, however, the official Scottish leagues and cups were suspended and regional leagues were formed, in which Rangers did superbly well. As these four consecutive Southern league wins, Emergency War Cup, Glasgow Cup, Summer Cup and Southern League Cup wins were unofficial however, the club do not recognise them as being official and do not count in our so-far 54 League titles and cup wins.”

     

     

    Is this conscious or unconscious humour? (Referring to an obscure player Ian McPherson) “A nippy winger who scored 15 in 18 for us, he was just as lethal in the air and took part in the first bombing raid upon mainland Germany in the war.”

    In the absence of anything specific from the Cops, we are all left to wonder what the ‘offensive songs’ were. I suggested those two as there has been a focus on them in recent months. As you were at the game, perhaps you might have a better idea what songs might have provoked this? It’s a superficial issue anyway. The main point is not the song, but the reaction that singing it has caused, and tha absence of justification for that reaction.

     

     

    As for Celts or Ra, I take without qualification what you tell me you sing, but you’re in the minority by volume.

    … contact individual police stations and ask if they hold data on religious aggravated offences.

     

    _____________________________________________

     

    The destruction of data on religious aggravated offences is hugely significant.

     

    Who ordered its destruction?

     

    When was it destroyed?

     

    Why was it destroyed?

     

    The SNP must answer these questions. The media will not press them. It’s up to us.

     

     

    Likewise, for Strathclyde Police, what is the precedent for ignoring a ‘criminal act’ yet reporting it to an international sporting authority?

  8. They say that anti-pesticides are becoming less useful as the vermin become immune to their effect.

     

     

    The increased infestation on this site would suggest that our anti-pesticide witticisms are proving ineffective as they are flying over the heads of the uneducated.

     

     

    Anybody know how to dumb down?

     

     

     

     

    P.S. I reckon truth’s last attempt at a joke there was him proving he did not know the ordinal that comes after third.

  9. Bobby – yes I am always weary of those knees.

     

     

    But truth be told its something I have been thinking about for a while – I’m 44 and its a big step – but what the hell you only live once. I could move to England (not short of job offers) – but needs to be something more radical for me.

     

     

    Lots of discussions with family ahead – but mind is made up.

     

     

    I have met Salmond on two separate occassions – once at a conference – he was charming publicly. Once where I helped host his visit to our workplace. We were in dispute with Unions at the time (these days I am a member of the management team) – he was a disgrace, a bully and didnt know how to deal with anyone directly. He blamed his staff for the visit – god knows how they put up with him.

     

     

    Alex Salmond – first dictator of an independent Scotland – has a certain ring to it dont you think?

    If there is a report to U.E.F.A. after last week’s game, I am sure the club will seek to find out what it is and who made it. If it is ‘offensive singing, is it illegal? If it is a ‘senior policeman’, who is he and where was he at the ‘Game of Shame when thousands of Rangers supporters broke the law by their sectarian chanting.
