Templar of Doom

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I took a nasty Pavlovian reaction today when I heard the radio announce “Derby day” before realising the presenter was talking about the actual Derby.  The last thing anyone planning a night out in Glasgow is the ‘Glasgow derby’, as it was known in its final few years.

As anyone walking the streets of Glasgow and beyond in peace tonight will testify, we don’t want it or miss it.  I prefer my football, like my streets, without this nonsense.

Knights Templar sequestrated?  Blame those “enemies”.  George Peat, Campbell Ogilvie and Lex Gold forced through his appointment as SFA chief executive, despite him not meeting selection criteria.  As every wise footballer knows, know your level.

The magnificent framed Lionel Messi top we are auctioning for 1254125 has less than two days to run, keep an eye on it here.

Copies of Willie Wallace’ autobiography, Heart of a Lion, have been flying off the shelf.  The mail order fulfilment centre will have stock replenished on Monday after running out.  Order your copy below – still time for Father’s Day.

    Zimmerman –

     

     

    Saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse at the Greens/Apollo in early 70s. An up-and-coming band called The Eagles were the support.

     

     

    It was a bad night for Young and even though I was and still am a big fan, The Eagles blew him off the stage.

     

     

    I am currently reading Young’s book . . . “Waging Heavy Peace”. A fascinating read.

    Evening Tom.

     

     

    For a mhan that has been and done what you have in your time on the planet, and you have done more than most.

     

     

    What gets me about you, is your seemingly lack of insight to the practices of the powers that be.

     

     

    For all you have been and gone and done what you have, I would have thought you would have been a wee bit more open minded to the goings on that befolds us today.

     

     

    just speculating >}

    TET –

     

     

    Ok I’ll bite.

     

     

    You don’t have to believe in every daft conspiracy theory to be aware of what is going on in the world.

     

     

    In fact, I believe it’s the conspiracy theorists like yourself who let them off the hook by concentrating your minds on the absurd.

     

     

    How many children have now died as a direct result of the MMR conspiracy theory, which BTW turned out to be more than a conspiracy. It was proved to be a deliberate HOAX.

    Thanks, but I wasn’t trying to entice him.

     

     

    I posted a comment on music. He used it to attack me. I responded.

     

     

    Just checked. Nov 1973 was the Eagles/Neil Young gig at the Apollo, which opened its doors on 5th September that year, my 20th birthday.

     

     

    Great memories.

    An extract from Donald Findlay interview

     

     

    The game of football and defending criminals – never to be confused – have been his two gigs and, put together, they have created Findlay’s controversy.

     

     

    It is an image he disputes with a tired smile. “I have never understood my ‘controversy’,” he says. “I don’t actually think I’ve ever said or done anything that was controversial. A friend of mine said to me, ‘Donald, your problem is, you have gone through your whole life with the view, I don’t see what all the fuss is about.’ Maybe he was right.”

     

     

    I dutifully remind him of one of those Findlay “controversies” – his 1999 public singing of a controversial Rangers song, captured on film, which cost him his vice-chairman’s role at Ibrox. Findlay claims to be laidback, saying not much bothers him these days, but this topic, 14 years on, certainly seemed to animate him.

     

     

    “I don’t regard that as controversial at all – but others did,” he says. “At the time it was seen as hugely controversial, it was one big lump of controversy that was dumped on my head. But today I don’t give it a moment’s thought.

     

     

    “Looking back I daresay one thing about 1999 that did annoy me was, so many of the people who were critical of me for what I did, did exactly the same thing. It was the level of hypocrisy about the whole thing that staggered me the most.

     

     

     

    Findlay still holds the view that singing up to yer knees is acceptable? no controversy there he says, at least he is honest amongst his esteemed colleagues in the legal world, a QC who doesn’t hide his bigotry behind bewildering judgements………….. did some Judges indulge in wee rendition of up to yer knees? name the hypocrites Ally demands to know who these people are

    Professor Barry James Marshall, winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize for Medicine was once ridiculed for his thoughts. He was ridiculed not only by his peers and betters (sic), drug companies the world over lined up to take a pop at him. Pity for them all that what he professed, which went against the accepted collective grain, turned out to be true.

     

     

    I remember a documentary where he went to Gartinavel Hospital in Glasgow and he conducted tests in the west of Scotland where – if my memory serves – he cured 24 out of 25 acutely ill patients with the last one dying. Even then the doctors in Scotland stood by their initial assessment which were in effect Barry Marshall was not worth the time of day.

     

     

    Oh how he proved them all wrong, the doctors, the professors, the drug companies, the layman skeptics; and in doing so he saved millions of lives. He did it in conjunction with John Robin Warren.

    There are so many dangerous drugs prescribed, but I’m no authority on their worth. And not being an authority I can’t say whether they harm or heal and only a fool would do otherwise.

    Finding a cure for stomach ulcers. Part 2

     

     

    I’ll try and find the documentary where the big drug companies rip him apart and the Scottish doctors hold their heads in shame after being proved wrong.

    I’m pretty sure this is the documentary and can I say after twenty years of stomach pains I took the antibiotics and have been pain free for twelve years now.

     

     

    You blow in a bag – they test your breath – you’ll have it or not – if you have it you take a few pills for a few days and then it’s gone.

    Been wondering where you have been-was gonna ask HT if you were ok. Then you pop up on an evening where my sobriety left the pub oh four hours before I did,haha!

     

     

    I hope to be home about 20/9 to 4/10 so I’ll be begging the usual suspects to keep me company for a few hours on the 27th.

     

     

    Hopefully my Mum will let my Dad out to play this time.

     

     

    How you doing,bud? And the family,of course….

    Morning,

     

     

    The Sunday Herald article that everything is fine and dandy for Catholics in this country is based on interviewing a handful of pensioners coming out of St Aloysius. lol!

     

     

    Funny, I thought it was not that long ago prominent Catholics were getting bombs in the post.

     

     

    The reporter should spend a day on Follow Follow and then tell us Catholics it is all paranoia….
