They might do dignity, but nuanced inference clearly isn’t in their repertoire.
The street theatre at Edmiston Drive last night was a joy to behold.
With all the subtlety of the incineration of Dresden’s innocent civilians the Rangers klan were rallied by the man they call “Bomber”.
I hope that one day those brave souls in Govan will be commemorated with a monument to their steadfastness in the face of adversity.

The mob outside Ibrox last night revealed the reality of what the dead club epitomised.
The assembled throng was unable to remain quiet.
Subsequently, Mr Brown’s eloquent oratory was constantly interrupted by oafs blurting out profanities.
This was a million miles away from their positive self-image of polished brogues and straightened ties.
This was underclass performance art al fresco.
The mob that “listened” to Mr Brown last night had the sound of a lynch mob.
They are angry about the future.
The empire they venerate is as dead as their football club.
Yesterday the phoney war ended with the departure of senior players like Davis and McGregor.
Up until then the followers of the dead club could pretend that everything was kind of ok.
It isn’t.
The Scottish spring has meant that the done deal of New Co into the SPL has unravelled.
Now the SFL1 clubs are bridling that they will be expected to roll over and play dead.
Division 3 is the only morally defensible position.
The anger on the pavement at Edmiston Drive was produced by a historical sense of entitlement meeting a new reality.
Their day has gone.
On the same day that the British head of state shook Martin McGuinness by the hand in Belfast it is time to reconfigure one’s historical furniture.
Rangers were a powerful symbol of the old Scotland.
They are dead.
No more back of the bus for Paddy.
All that is left is an impotent rabble who can’t even keep quiet for one of their own.
They should have listened, as what they would have heard were the funeral arrangements for “the Rainjurrzz”.
Or as Bomber might say “Fucking Rangers!”

Craig: What do you mean “honest upstanding company director”?
Charlie: I’m sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Craig: We’re closin’ for lunch.
Charlie: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this team what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Craig: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue…What’s,uh…What’s wrong with it?
Charlie: I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it, my lad. ‘E’s dead, that’s what’s wrong with it!
Craig: No, no, ‘e’s uh,…he’s resting.
Charlie: Look, matey, I know a dead team when I see one, and I’m looking at one right now.
Craig: No no it’s not dead, it’s restin’! Remarkable team, the Glasgow Blue, isn’t it ay? Beautiful colours!
Charlie: The colour don’t enter into it. It’s stone dead.
Craig: No no no no, no, no! ‘it’s resting!
Charlie: All right then, if it’s restin’, I’ll wake it up! ‘Ello, Mister Rangers! I’ve got a lovely fresh succulent lamb for you if you show…

Charlie: No, it didn’t, that was you poking it!
Craig: I never!!
Charlie: Yes, you did!
Craig: I never, never did anything…
Charlie: (yelling and poking it repeatedly) ‘ELLO RANGERS!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o’clock alarm call!

Charlie: Now that’s what I call a dead club.
Craig: No, no…..No, ‘e’s stunned!
Charlie: STUNNED?!?
Craig: Yeah! You stunned it, just as it was wakin’ up! Glasgow Blues stun easily.
Charlie: Um…now look…now look, mate, I’ve definitely ‘ad enough of this. That club is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not ‘alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein’ tired and shagged out following a prolonged season.
Craig: Well, it’s…it’s, ah…probably pining for the Shankhill.
Charlie: PININ’ for the SHANKHILL?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that? Look, why did it fall flat on its back the moment I got it home?
Craig: The Glasgow Blue prefers kippin’ on its back! Remarkable club, innit, squire? Lovely colours!
Charlie: Look, I took the liberty of examining that club when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been playing fotball in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
Craig: Well, o’course it was nailed there! If I hadn’t nailed that club down, it would have shot to the top of the league and shot down to Engerland immediately. VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Charlie: “VOOM”?!? Mate, this club wouldn’t “voom” if you put four million volts through it! It’s bleedin’ demised!
Craig: No no! ‘it’s pining!
Charlie: It’s not pinin’! ‘it’s passed on! This club is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life. It rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed it down it’d be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now ‘istory! It’s off the twig! Its kicked the bucket, Its shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-CLUB!!
Craig: Well, I’d better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I’ve had a look ’round the back of the shop, and uh, we’re right out of clubs.
Charlie: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Craig: I got a slug.
Charlie: Does it play football?
Craig: Nnnnot really.
Charlie: WELL IT’S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

Gerrymandering Gers !
The old adage; you are defined by your enemies takes on a special significance around Ibrox Park these days. It is beginning to dawn on the mob that nobody wants to have anything to do with them. There are 50,000 potential punters and a stadium capable of holding them. There are also some remnant players from a former SPL team now extinct. There may even be a few bewildered TV men and a couple of bemused journalists. Yet,I repeat, nobody wants to have anything to do with them. Maybe if the former regime had shown some willingness to apologise for their gerrymandering ways there might be a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately for Sevco FC it seems that supporters of offended against football teams are capable of remembering and have nursed their wrath and kept it very warm. Let that be a lesson to Sevco as they start from scratch. Their predecessors were, in recent years, Aye “Ready” to bend the rules and sacrifice sporting integrity for commercial gain. A ruinous path that led to collapse. I wish Sevco good luck as I would wish any new club that hopes to climb through the ranks. I hope they become known for sporting integrity and fair play. Aren’t they lucky to be unburdened from the corrupt history of the football team formerly known as Rangers.

If “Bomber Command” is they best they can come up with – potential for Oxford/Cambridge debating chamber ? – it is indeed happy days. Celtic do need to stay wary of compliant SFA and SPL and but I believe silence so far has been appropriate as others seem to be doing job for us.

I see the CelticQuickNews site mentioning other clubs ‘seizing’ 50% of the ‘gate money’ at Celtic Park – where and when was this mentioned in SFA/SPL/SFL meetings – or is it just an ‘urban myth’?
If there is any basis for it, what exactly does it involve, surely not a percentage of Celtic’s season ticket money?
If it exists as a consideration, does it refer only to those who purchase ‘one-off’ tickets for any particular game?
I would appreciate some help in understanding this – cheers!

How embarrasing was Browns speech and the crowd around him. You could sense that things were about to get out of hand and that they were ready to turn on each other.My father told me as a child that “they were more to be pitied than laughed at”but i can still feel no pity for them.My only emotion regards them is revulsion.
The moves by the SFL/SPL will not come to pass as the fans in the lower divisions will vote against allowing them in.
Next season 2013-2014 Celtic will charge a membership fee of 500 and season books will cost 50 therefor giving almost nothing to other clubs in gate receipts.

The club previosly known as rangers is dead the rancid elements of there support however will not die so easily beware the marching season.

It was interesting to hear the roar that went up from the animals when Brown announced Donald Findlay as the lawyer.
Then Brown promptly let rip suggesting Rangers sold Findlay down the river when he needed them most.
They won’t settle until the Billy Boys are back in business.
I wonder what Green said to him?
Brown said he will go public if he doesn’t sell up. He also said he would be hunted for years if he revealed it now.
I noticed earlier the chuckle brothers from the DR stated on their podcast that they contacted the SFA 14 months ago to state that Whyte wasn’t paying tax.
A story as big as this shunted into a podcast???

I watched the whole 40-odd minutes of Bomber’s ‘Nuremberg Rally’ speech to the mob on youtube.
If you can filter out the sectarianism, general numbskullery and racism – ‘send him back to Yorkshire’, there’s a couple of interesting aspects to what he said.
He seemed adamant that Green does not own the ground. He is convinced that Whyte and Ticketus are still involved. Green apparently said something to him he couldn’t or wouldn’t repeat. That’s maybe a bluff but he’s always been more blunt instrument than cloak and dagger. So did Green say something sinister to Brown about Whyte? Anyone got a Cluedo?

All of this is a ‘side-show’ to take our eyes off what is going on with the Football Authorities…..
All the skulduggery and corruption in trying to ‘blind’ us all to the fact they are no longer a club…they are /will soon be liquidated…..and they are attempting to manipulate leagues to shoe horn them back in, trying to maintain their history by making any league drop a ‘relegation punishment’ and avoid the fact it is a newco.
The powers that be are blatantly attempting to corrupt the SFL by offering financial inducements in return for rule breaking….. this shows us that the whole SFA is totally corrupt, biased and unfit for purpose….any organisation that encourages it’s members through, threats or financial reward, to break the rules in order to facilitate a ‘felon’ is in itself, criminally lacking integrity.

It was indeed a sad sight to witness. It started with a rendition of No Surrender as Brown made his way to the front door of the Big Hoose.
This was one angry man as he relayed his meeting with Mr Green to an equally angry crowd. There were constant interruptions with language only found in the gutter. It didn’t seem to matter that there were children present!
Infact, some of them were on the shoulders of Dads, keen to let them know that this was the history of their forefatherfranc as they were rgeneration

I keep hearing people say the new club should just go to the 3rd division and start there. Given the crimes the old club committed, the lack of humility and dignity their support have shown, the threats and intimidation, and the attitude of rival teams/supporters, what makes anyone think the new club will be the ones to fill the SFL void?
I think if you took a straw poll right now, most SFL chairmen would vote for any other club apart from Sevco 5088! The only think I can see saving them is if multiple clubs apply and split the vote!

A bit off-topic Phil but recall your earlier comments on your discussion with a FIFA member.
I’ve submitted this -
Under the subject of -’The Scottish Football Association and the SPL’ – submitted this evening -
“Many Scottish fans are very unhappy with the way our local affairs are being conducted by the two bodies mentioned.
Without going in to too much detail the latest development around the scenario with the ‘Newco’ that have replaced ‘Glasgow Rangers’ is virtually dictatorial to the teams – my own included – in the Scottish First Division.
They are effectively being blackmailed – http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/rangers/108457-spl-threaten-breakaway-league-if-sfl-clubs-do-not-agree-to-rangers-plans/ – and this surely goes against the fair principles of our wonderful sport of Football.
There is much more to be said on this entire matter but suffice to say many of us think it is time FIFA took an interest in what is happening to our National sport and steps are taken to moderate these bodies.
Thank you.”
Let’s see if anyone sits up and takes notice.

June 29, 2012 at 2:07 am
Jim Wood
Another fine view sir.
I have some ideas on what happened yesterday.
1. The web site that backed it appears to have “No Surrender” on it’s logo with a big bear alongside, so this tells us the group of fans who were present at Ibrox last night.Probably the vilest.
2. BB was in his own way standing up for his team. They do not have the same opinions as me, us, or even some of the TRFC fans I know, but that is their view. They see their club dying and want to do something, no matter how ill informed, about it. People power as opposed to rich people power. Even the Arab Spring might throw up some ideas that are unacceptable to our eyes. But that is their choice, at least it is them that are making it.
3. BB raised some surprising developments re Whyte and Ticketus and alluded to ownership of the stadium issues. Which may still kill TRFC off anyway.
Meanwhile far more worrying is the move reported today (in my opinion) with reguards to the SFA/SPL/SFL and the gerrymandering and blackmailing of the rest of Scottish football in order to save any semblance of TRFC in football. This is the end for me. How do we stop this, or am I just being naive? Is the deal already done?
It looks to me like a plan to penalize Celtic. Think about it.
Who loses out on TV money gate money and the likelihood of winning titles and subsequent CL money from it?
Whilst this is happening to us the rest of the SPL get more of a share of the TV money, a share of OUR (hard earned!) gate money and a weakened TRFC to get more chances of trophies in the SPL sooner.
But the biggest winners are TRFC who don’t end up in SFL3. Weaken us in the process and are in a much better financial position v Celtic than they rightly should be.
My only hope is that we find in the Scottish football fans a feeling for justice in this auspicious time in history.
Or that the other rumors of imminent financial collapse at TRFC are correct.
Just some opinions.
Keep at them Phil.

They are hurt and angry, the penny is dropping. Just like the rest of Scottish Football they have been right royally shafted by their trusted guardians of their extinct club, not just once but over and over again,the price of their ‘successes’ has destroyed the calibre of Scotland’s national game and they still think they are being treated harshly, what a joke. If this had been any other team including Celtic, I am positive the punishments would have been so severe that there would be none of this Pontius Pilate stuff from the other teams’ boards and directors,” Oh we must ask our fans.” Talk about washing your hands in public, bottle merchants. Although I do believe they have crossed the rubicon with them polling the fans throughout all the senior leagues and have opened doors for stronger fan participation at executive levels on a series of other related issues.
Back to ‘the fans with no shame,’ I wonder if the penny has dropped far enough for them to realise they are no longer ‘The Peepul,’ but in fact are ‘THOSE’ people,

Good read Phil, bomber brown was indeed hilarious. I also enjoyed your presence in Blantyre last week although I am not sure Archie MacPherson agreed with a few of your comments judging by the look on his face.
Moving on to today’s news that the GOT are looking to rewrite the rule book to allow Sevco 5088 to start in SFL1 and a possible split in gate receipts, what are your thoughts on this?
My own view is that this simply cannot be allowed and I hope Celtic come out quickly to show they cannot and will not accept this. Should Celtic now request that UEFA and FIFA become involved to ensure that idiots like Regan, Doncaster & Ogilvie do not destroy what is left of Scottish football?

I must start of with I hate this f#####g country and all the bigoted baggage that goes with it.What about the outcome of the spl and sfl plans for the league structure. I am so angry. This whole plan is revolved round helping the Newco ease themselves back to the top as soon as possible. The governing body is a total and absolute joke. I still don’t understand why this has been allowed to drag on for so long. Where is UEFA’s stance in all this. The whole plan is to save the Newco and sweeten the first division by offering them the £Million tv money. Plan B is basically the same but called SPL 2. I am in shock at the whole thing, but I shouldn’t be. We should be used to this by now. I think it’s time for every non Newco fan in the country to demonstrate their anger and disbelief at the decisions and recommendations being put forward. What do you think people. If they get away with this we would all be better off walking away. Definitely no level playing field.

I was sitting in traffic in a town in ireland festooned with Union flags and other loyalist emblems.
It occured to me to ask ‘what would Connolly have made of them’? Well we know, as these people’s forebears were at the same craic in his time.
The answer is we have to help them, show them the error of their ways. We also have to, hard as it may be, try to view them in a different way. White underclass they are, but we can’t reach out to them by constantly reminding them of their status or we will give them a ‘victim culture’ and make them even more reactionary.
The flags thing used to annoy me. Now it just bemuses and saddens me that a group of people have so little confidence in themselves.
They need a hand up.

This underclass are going no where unfortunately. To make matters worse they now have a victim mentality to add to their sense of entitelment. Watch out for the lashing out!!!

The disapearance of the red white and blue supremacists feeling of entitlement is a mind blowing spectacle to behold.

Holy Grail, with a bit of Life of Brian.
