Title With No Credibility..
Posted by: | CommentsThree SPL Managers Speak Out..
When one of your opponents, your fiercest rival speaks out about refereeing favouritism then it can quite easily be dismissed as sour grapes.
Two? Well just another manager unhappy about a defeat.
But three. Well that’s a different story.
Tony Mowbray, Craig Brown and now Gus McPherson* have all accused Scottish referees of bias towards Rankers this season. Whether it be penalty kicks denied, perfectly good goals disallowed or inconsistency in cautions there can be no denying…..the officials have collaborated in making the title run-in as easy as possible for the Establishment team.
25% of SPL managers have now spoken out about this blatant cheating, yet the SPL themselves do nothing about it.
They are just as guilty of making this seasons title one of NO CREDIBILITY.
*McPherson was once on the MM’s books, unusual for ex-players to break rank and criticise their former paymasters.
Another Keevins Prediction!
Posted by: | CommentsYou’d Think He’d Learn By Now
Although I never heard it myself, I’ve been reliably informed that the Daily Ranger’s chief sportswriter Hugh Keevins has announced to the world that the SPL title race is now officially over.
Speaking on Radio Clyde’s Super Scoreboard after Celtic’ 1-1 draw with Falkirk the bold Hugh continued his lambasting of the club by telling us that Saturday was officially the day Celtic surrendered the title.
Pointing to the fact that we’re nine points behind Rankers he failed to mention our game in hand against Kilmarnock, which would take the lead down to six points, giving our record against the Ayrshire huns. (And we’ve still to play the MM twice).
This almost annual January prediction has in the past made a laughing stock out of the Shugster. He confidently predicted two years ago that Scotland’s Shame would win the SPL in a canter, which of course they didn’t, and last year backed the Hoops to retain the title, which we didn’t.
Good form there Hugh!
Therefore if we take Hugh Keevins word as Gospel, we can look forward to a champions party in the sun come the end of May!
Will SPL Act Against Thugs?
Posted by: | CommentsHearts A Disgrace, Once Again
Before I go on about the wee Huns, ask yourself this question, If Celtic and the MM been involved in a brawl like the one at Hamilton yesterday the SPL and the Police would be jumping all over the two of us, so will they do the same to Hertz?
Doubt it.
This mob and that’s all they are, have been getting away with booting lumps out of everything that moves for years now. Their egotistical dictator Romanov can say what he likes without fear of punishment.
Year after year they are fined for their thuggish behaviour.
The people who support them are at times on par with our knuckle dragging neighbours across the city.Going to Tynecastle can be worse than Bigotdome such is the level of hate and bile that emanates from the Gorgie stands.
The club is a total disgrace.
The sooner they’re chucked out the SPL the better.
Is It Really The D-Day Everyone Says It Is?
Posted by: | CommentsDon’t Think So…..
When Bolton chairman Phil Gartside puts forward his proposal for a new set-up down south, EPL1 and EPL2 you can bet he’ll get laughed out the room.
Quite rightly he’s looking after Bolton’s future by tagging on to bring Celtic and Rankers to town but too many chairmen like Dave Whelan at Wigan won’t vote to see his club’s chances of relegation increased.
However, the debate has been interesting, especially on the national and local radio stations.
It seems nationally, the support down south don’t want us, and are more interested in having a go at us for NOT having a poppy on our shirt on Sunday! That in itself shows how ignorant they are, check Skippy’s shirt for evidence below.
And locally, the move is criticised just as much.
The DJ who WGS loves to hate (he’s not the only one!) thinks it would be bad for Scottish Football.
I’m not so sure. Vote in today’s poll>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Oh aye, the MM will reveal in their accounts that they are in more financial trouble than they’ve been letting on. That won’t be enough to save them from a UEFA ban, I hope!
Do They REALLY Want Us?

Now that Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has chipped in to the O*d Firm (I hate that word!) joining the English Premiership you have to ask the question, Why?
Why would anyone in the EPL want the big two to join their ranks?
Fair enough the size of the clubs are massive compared to the likes of Hull City and Wigan but having us down there every other week would bring it’s own problems.
For a start, the rampaging hordes of Huns crossing the border to loot an pillage every English town or city they enter would be enough to put the most fervent advocate of the move off.
Then there’s the difference in quality.
An average Championship side would run amok against either of the two teams at this minute. Sunday is as good a reminder as any.
Sure through time we’d get it right, but how long would we have to wait. Five years? Ten years? Or more?
Anyway, it’s all pie in the sky just now. Every manager down south can say they’re in favour of the move but ultimately is up to their chairmen.
If they don’t agree then the deal is dead.
