THE DAY OF RECKONING IS AT HAND

By the looks of things McColl, Murray et al have lost. Blin has done walking away and Mather has started a slanging match with Murray. Jack Irvine has started a smear campaign against all and sundry and the Ersatzers are no further forward in knowing who they should trust. As per usual, however, they all look for a sugar daddy to come in and won't part with any of their own cash, unless it's for a ten-bob juvenile season book. Mind you, the way things work at Ibrox you can hardly blame them. They buy shares in Rangers, only to be later told that they actually bought shares in a holding company. Then the new club offers them the chance to buy shares in what they all believe is the same club, even though they've now accepted the myth that the company and club are separate, so the 'same club' could start up again and then they'd have to fork out for shares in the 'same club' a third time!

Speaking of shares, an AGM must be held by the end of October and the supporters of Murray see this as a possible chance to get their own men in. We'll see. To the Ersatzers, however, financial nous and probity come a distant second to talking to the wrong people in deciding who is fit to run Ersatz FC. Leggat and others had a go at the Kray Twins for speaking to the enemy, in the shape of BBC Scotland, while the other side derides Murray for the same offence. Then there's the matter of the Jabba-less Daily Record, which Leggat hated and now loves because McColl and his cronies used it as their mouthpiece. It's enough to make your head spin!

On the subject of the BBC, I read a cracker on McMurdo's blog. An absolute banger posted to demand to know why Radio 5 did not mention the 'Famous Glasgow Rangers' after their all-conquering performance against the might of Arbroath FC. He points out that they mentioned Real Madrid's result. The conclusion he reaches as to why this anomaly occurred is that Real is a 'Catholic Team' and this shows the bias prevalent throughout the BBC! Meanwhile, another of the 'Free-Thinking' mob asked recently, on the same blog, if they were 'allowed' to watch STV! Sweet Jesus on a dinosaur!

Back to matters financial and Ersatz FC, or the holding company or whatever has decided that accounts will now run up to June of each year, instead of the usual November. Why this should be, I don't know but one enthusiastic Ersatzer sees it as getting them into Europe quicker! Try working that one out! The real reason is probably to hide something, as that seems to be the modus operandi for all financial dealings at Ibrox.

The big question, however, is are they going to be able to present properly audited accounts? Will these accounts be signed off? And, more importantly, will they prove that the club and company are separate by listing the club as an asset? And will anyone ever get to see the deeds to show who actually owns Ibrox? These, and other questions, will probably still be being asked this time next year, when the same club goes into liquidation and the same club starts up again.

This will be my last blog for a wee while. I'm moving house today and the internet won't start up at my new place until the end of the month, mainly because I left it too late to let them know I was moving! I have no doubt that plenty of nefarious, and hilarious deeds will be carried out under the Ersatz banner between now and then, so I'll have loads to write about. In the meantime, thanks for reading and how about leaving a comment to let me know that there are  real people out there!

ANTI AUNTIE

Loony Leggat's blog today is a rant against BBC Scotland. Apparently, because they are backing Jim Spence against the Ersatzer thugs, he thinks they cannot be trusted to tell the truth. The NUJ are also backing Spence, which prompts Leggat to call them the 'fiercely pro-Irish Republican National Union of Journalists.' Of course, that'll be why they kicked him out, then, and not because he threatened a fellow NUJ member with violence! He also calls the Scottish NUJ organiser, Paul Halloran, 'Celtic and Liverpool supporting,' as if that were some sort of crime. The sports editor of The Herald is condemned in the same way, while he lies that Phil Mac-Whatsit was found to be a bigot by the Press Complaints Commission, when it was just The Sun that caved in to the Ersatzer thugs.

The BBC Trust might have upheld the Ersatzers' complaints but they used the ridiculous conclusions of Lords Glennie and Nimmo Smith to reach their decision. Leggat calls them 'two learned Scottish judges,' which is not what the Ersatzers were saying before they bowed to the thuggery. It is worth noting as well that both 'learned' gentlemen are also Freemasons.

This whole thing is getting beyond a joke and needs to be stopped. It should have been nipped in the bud as soon as Green started to peddle his lies but, as usual, everyone was too afraid. Now they're all out to intimidate anyone that dares to expose The Big Lie. Of course, they have previous with BBC Scotland, after the station dared to tell the truth about Craig Whyte. Leggat is only saying what all the Ersatzers have been saying for ages: BBC Scotland do nothing but peddle lies and half-truths.

Of course, they soon change their minds when BBC Scotland air documentaries about paedophile priests, the Magdalene Sisters or the Spanish baby-snatching scandal. Then they lap up every word and take it as Gospel. Which leads on smoothly to a programme I watched on Channel 4 last night. It was about Cyril Smith, a man so big his arse could be seen from space, who, it now transpires, was a serial abuser of  young boys. Police were stopped from prosecuting him by senior figures in Special Branch and the cover-up goes all the way to the top echelons of the British Establishment. This is hardly surprising, since many Establishment figures were involved, along with Smith, in the systematic abuse of children at the Elm Guest House.

Do you think this will be mentioned on any of the Ersatzers' blogs? After all, the likes of Bill McMurdo constantly tell us how much they hate paedophiles and want every cover-up exposed. Of course, they will argue that this all happened years ago but, then, so did the abuse that they constantly harp on about. It just shows what a bigoted bunch of hypocrites they really are. If Smith had been a Catholic, like Jimmy Savile, they would all be calling for his knigthood to be stripped. They always go on about cover-ups at Celtic Park and in the Catholic Church but are strangely reticent when it comes to the same, if not worse, cover-ups by their beloved Establishment.

Meanwhile the Ersatzers, in the shape of the Vanguard Bears, are up in arms about a recent story in The Scottish Sun. I don't buy newspapers but I used to have a look at The Sun website when it was free. Like most other folk, however, I don't feel like paying to read stories about Helen Flanagan getting her tits out. Anyway, The Sun had a story about some guy that goes around with his dog wearing a Celtic top. Both he and his dog received a kicking from some neds on a bus, who called both him and the hoops-clad canine 'Fenian bastards.'

The Vanguard Bears answer to this is to perform a character assassination on the guy. Well, a character assassination going by the model of their twisted morality. Apparently the guy drinks in the Gallowgate, uses Irish phrases on his Facebook page and calls Ersatz supporters 'Huns.' The whole piece is there to try to justify the attack, to make it seem as if he deserved everything he got. They even print his picture 'In case anyone wants  to say Hello Hello.' And yet the same bunch would bleat like hell if somebody were to beat up a UVF-supporting Orangeman!

Laughably they do the usual Orange trick of trying to claim that the word 'Fenian' refers to some Nineteenth-Century Irish Home Rule group. We all know full well what they mean by the word! And yet they castigate this guy for calling Ersatzers 'Huns.' The Huns, as we all know, were a race of people that conquered vast swathes of Europe and Asia, under the leadership of Atilla. So what is sectarian about using that word? It is not even applied in Scotland in a sectarian way: 'Huns' refers to Rangers and Ersatz Rangers and their supporters only; nobody else. To try to make out that it means 'Protestant' is soon shown to be a lie when it can be pointed out that Hearts supporters, not known for any anti-Protestant stance, also use this word to refer to the team from Ibrox and its supporters. As usual, however, all the Ersatzers can do to defend their disgusting behaviour  is to indulge in 'whatabootery'.

Barry Ferguson, in today's Daily Record, agrees with everybody else in Scotland, outside of Govan, that Ian Black's behaviour is a disgrace. He thinks that he should be given a second chance but Sooperally and the Ersatzers cannot see that he has done anything wrong. In their usual 'whatabootery' mode, they claim that practically every footballer in Scotland has a bet. They fail to see anything wrong in betting against your own team! It doesn't matter if Black was betting ten thousand pounds or putting on a ten bob accumulator; the fact is that it is immoral, and, according to the rules of the game, illegal, to bet that the team you are playing for is going to lose. The Ersatzers are so used to the cheating ways of their old club and new club that they seem prepared to support such ways even when it goes against their own interests!

And Bill McMurdo seems overjoyed today that the Kray Twins appear to be taking over at Ibrox. The war is over as far as he is concerned and he thinks that there will be no EGMs taking place now. One of these characters has been in prison for fraud and they both have a reputation for using violence and intimidation to get their way. Remind you of a football team and its supporters? It looks like a match made in Hell!



'Ah mean, it's no' right, aw they IRA-supportin' wans in the NUJ an' Sellick supporters workin' fur The Herald an' aw they Rainjurz-haterz in the BBC. BBC Scotland's full-a bead-rattlers 'n 'at ennywye an' the Daily Record's been taken ower wi' left-fitters ever since Traynor, God bless him, hud tae leave. Wur surrounded wi' thum, so wae ur! It's aw a big Vatican conspiracy, so it is! It's enough tae make ye turn tae drink. An' like Ah always say, thurz nae room fur sectarian bigotry in Scottish fitba'!'

THE PRINCIPLES OF SAMESPEAK

The ridiculous carry-on over Jim Spence's comments on Radio Scotland has shown how much our media is still living in fear of Ibrox. None of our newspapers saw fit to comment on it, and certainly not to offer support to a fellow journalist. The way that it has become almost a crime to say the words, 'New club' is a national disgrace. It seems that thugs that follow Ersatz FC can coerce our Fourth Estate into keeping to the party line through terror tactics.

Anyone that has had to adjudicate on the Ibrox team has received serious death threats, sometimes needing the involvement of anti-terrorist experts. Equally, journalists like Alex Thompson have had their lives threatened for daring to question things. Unbelievably our media never reports on any of this; it seems that's the normal way for things to be done in Scotland.

In George Orwell's book, 1984, the government is introducing a new language, called Newspeak. The idea is that if people don't have the words to express seditious thoughts then they cannot share such thoughts, meaning that concerted attacks on the government would be impossible. That seems to be what is happening in Scotland now. The difference is that it is the words 'new' and 'old' that are to be removed from our language. Both words are to be replaced with 'same.' So you would leave the same house to move to the same house that you have bought, or that the council have alloted you. Then you would need to pop down to Reids to buy the same three-piece suite, while getting the binmen to pick up the same suite that you want to get rid of. Parents would proudly announce the arrival of their same baby. It's easy once you get the hang of it!

In the same vein, I just discovered something yesterday that is actually old news. Or rather, it would be old news if any of our news media had reported on it! The Ersatzers have been signing an e-petition on the Government's website, wanting HMRC investigated for 'picking on' Rangers and for the leaks that supposedly came out about the case. It turns out, however, that many are signing the petition with multiple names, and Ersatzer blogs are telling them how to do it! This is now being investigated by Government watchdogs and it looks as if the petition might be just thrown into the bin. Amazingly, though, our media do not see this as worth reporting!

Meanwhile it looks like the EGM might well go ahead and the battle for Ibrox is still going strong. And what is the Ersatzers' reaction to all this? Well, while Hearts fans are trying to secure the future or their club, the Ersatzers are waiting for some sugar daddy to come in and bail them out! The only argument seems to be about who the best sugar daddy would be.

Loony Leggat seems to get more insane with every blog he batters out. Now he is having a go at Deloitte, who have been brought in to audit the accounts of Ersatz FC; or is it the holding company? Will the club be counted among the holding company's assets? Will they finally get their accounts signed off? I already outlined somewhere else on this blog, how Deloitte are being investigated internationally, including by the FBI, for being involved in money-laundering among other things. Is this why Leggat views them as inappropriate? No. Their major crime is that one of their employees is a friend of Charles Green! Just in case any of the knuckledraggers want to fire off death threats, Leggat makes sure that he gives out the man's address, phone number and even mobile number!

McMurdo, although joining in the prayers for a sugar daddy, seems more concerned with sticking up for the God-Squadders of East Kilbride. He repeats a disingenous story about David Lloyd-George being a member of the sect. This is utter rubbish. Lloyd-George was a member of a religion that the Churches of Christ broke away from. The modern mob that operate in East Kilbride see everyone that is not a member of their sect as being heathens: a far cry from the ecumenical approach of the church of which Lloyd-George was a member. It's like claiming that St Francis of Assisi is a member of the Church of Scotland, since the latter is a breakaway from the Roman Catholic Church!

I really don't know why folk like McMurdo keep beating the drum for this cult. Amazingly, they accuse the Catholic Church of being homophobic while praising the EK culters for the same thing! They also accuse Catholics of being superstitious and unscientific, while supporting this group that does not believe in evolution, as the Catholic Church does! I suppose that's how blind bigotry works. Doublethink; didn't some writer invent that word? That's right, it's a word from George Orwell's Newspeak...oops...I mean Samespeak!

THE NON-THINKING FREE THINKERS

Loony Leggat decided, in his Friday blog, to have a go at just about anybody he could think of. Jack Irvine has become his new whipping boy, replacing Graham Spiers and Imran Ahmad. Allan Rennie, of the Daily Record, is now no longer a 'pussy' but, it seems, a reasonable man that is being hoodwinked by Irvine. Along with Irvine, Leggat also has a go at Andy Goram and Barry Ferguson for not standing up for John Greig. There are so many agendas flying around Ibrox at the moment that I don't think any of 'The Peeppell' know what to think or say. Of course, it might well be that Goram and Ferguson know something that the rest of us don't: namely, that Greig is, in fact, thick!

Meanwhile the Daily Record stirred up a shitstorm with their story about an American, happy-clappy bunch of God-botherers infiltrating a primary school in East Kilbride. Opinion was split in the comments section. Many agreed that they should be thrown out and that such groups should not be allowed into our schools; others, however, saw the article as an attack on Christianity in general, and Protestantism in particular. This brought out quite a bit of bile on Bill McMurdo's blog.

Although McMurdo claims on his blog:

"Let me reiterate that there is no place for bigotry or hate on this blog or in the Comments section.
I am happy to allow debate and even heated debate, including criticism of other faiths, but outright abuse has no place here.
From any side.
I do not endorse any comments of a bigoted nature in any way."

This only seems to work in one direction. He moderates his blog, so he knows what goes on it and seems happy to allow words like 'scum,' 'beadrattlers,' 'tarriers' and 'beadrattling shitehawks,' to name but a few. Child abuse is constantly brought up as a stick with which to beat Celtic and the Catholic Church, the posters evidently revelling in this sick crime. Mention The Rangers being a new team, however, and your post will never make it.

As for allowing debate, I'm afraid that doesn't happen either. Individuals posting on the blog are alway going on about some Catholic agendas in the SFA, in local government, in the media and even in the Scottish Government. The story in the Daily Record seemed, to them, to prove their point. Strangely, they never tire of calling the Catholic Church 'a cult,' and haranguing it for being homophobic. And yet they all support the God-squadders, reported in the DR, on this very subject! They also accuse Catholics, and ex-Catholics, of being indoctrinated and not thinking for themselves. In contrast, they call themselves, 'free-thinking.' As per usual, McMurdo allows no argument against this stance; even the truth is censored.

So what is the truth that none of them want you to see or hear? Well, the next time you come across one of them using the term 'free-thinking' just remind them of the terms 'Monergism' and 'Predestination.' Probably they will have no idea what you're talking about, but if they look the words up then they are in for a shock.

Protestantism came about not, as some folk would have it, because of abuses in the Catholic Church. Luther's ideas were a fundamental shift away from some of the most basic tenets of Christianity. Instead of repenting your sins and being forgiven, the new idea was that faith, and faith alone, was the key to salvation. This took, as Luther himself stated, responsibility away from the individual. You could never be good enough and God did not expect you to be. This gift of salvation, Grace, was freely available to everyone. All you had to do was accept the gift.

Calvin, and his followers, took things a step further. Their doctrine was that people had no choice; God decided who was being saved and that was the end of it. This doctrine was, and is, called Monergism. Since God decides who is going to be saved and since He is perfect, then He decides right at the beginning who is going to be saved and who is going to be damned. You can be as good as you see fit but, if you are not one of the Elect then you will burn in Hell. On the other hand, if God has chosen you then you will be going to Heaven no matter what. Of course, the Elect, according to this doctrine cannot help but be good; they are chosen by God and are full of His Grace, so they are pre-programmed to be good. This is Predestination. In other words, there is not really any such thing as free will.

Calvinists are expected to look into themselves for signs that they are members of the Elect. Of course, nobody is going to sit and meditate for a while and then say, 'Aw, shit! Ah'm wanny the damned! Ah might as well go oot an' start sinnin'!' They are raised on stories of hellfire and brimstone but they can rest assured that it is not going to happen to them: they are 'The Peeppell.' It's everybody else that is going to burn and, by God, don't they enjoy hearing about it!

This is the doctrine of all Calvinist churches and members, including the Church of Scotland, Leggat's Presbyterian granny and most of those that march about banging drums and blowing flutes every summer. So, according to their own beliefs, they have no free will, are pre-programmed to behave the way they do and in no way can be considered 'free-thinking.'

I don't know about you but that hardly sounds like my idea of God; creating people just to burn them for all eternity, with no chance of them proving the least bit worthy of salvation, no matter how good they are.

This is what McMurdo deems unfit to put on his blog, instead preferring anti-Catholic abuse. So much for allowing debate, even heated debate, eh? Debate is the last thing the bigots want as they know fine well that their ignorance will be exposed.




'Ach, Ah'm fed up! Whit kin Ah dae tae amuse masel'? Ah know, Ah'll make billions-a people, make thum live oan a world an' then burn thum fur aw eternity when thur deid. That'll kill some time. Ah better mind, though, that Ah canny burn any Scottish Proddies. They'll need tae come up here an' stye wi' me. Aw, shite! It's nae fun bein' perfect 'n 'at. Ah've made ma mind up noo so Ah canny chinge it. Ah'm gonny get stuck wi' aw they drummers an' flute players an' funny walkers fur ever an' ever an' ever an' ever...'

'WE'LL NEED A BIGGER BOAT'

Loony Leggat surpassed himself yesterday, with a bile-ridden diatribe against Jack Irvine of Media House. I must confess, I'd never heard of Irvine until Jabba claimed that he did not speak for Ersatz FC, only for it to transpire, a few days later, that he did! Apparently he used to be a journalist and Leggat uses this as a stick to beat him with. Amazing the amount of 'used-tae-be' journalists that speak for Ersatz FC these days!

Anyone who enjoys comedy, or likes to indulge in schadenfreude, is probably familiar with Leggat's blog. They will know what Leggat has been saying for ages about Daily Record editor Allan Rennie. According to Leggat, who usually calls him 'Pussy' Rennie, it was this editor that forced Jabba out of the DR. (If that is true then a statue of him should be erected in George Square) Leggat constantly disparages the DR, gloating how its circulation has been falling for years and how the exit of Jabba was the final nail in the coffin.

Yesterday, however, Leggat changed tack after boasting how he has seen e-mails sent by Jack Irvine. (Presumably this was via Charlotte Fakes - and they keep telling us it's all lies!) When describing what Irvine said about Rennie, Leggat calls Rennie, "Allan Rennie, the editor of Scotland’s second biggest selling daily newspaper, the Record" Two-faced doesn't even begin to describe him!

It's not just Leggat that Irvine has upset. Many Ersatzers are almost apoplectic about, as Leggat says, Irvine "being interviewed by Rangers hating Andy Muirhead on his rabidly pro Celtic website." Andy Muirhead is in good company. It seems anybody who is anybody these days is described as 'Rangers-hating,' including many of the Ersatzers themselves.

Meanwhile, Bill McMurdo has decided that a compromise is the likely outcome of the latest Ibrox war. He can see the board being enlarged to include the pretenders to the throne. Will there be enough seats? Maybe somebody will need to use that bike, if Whyte didn't flog it. And tell the Sunday Post that I know where Oor Wullie's bucket is!

Personally, I can't see such a compromise happening. Things have gone too far for both sides to kiss and make up. Smear and slander and threats of violence will not just be forgotten overnight; and it's still going on apace. Have a look at any Ersatzer blog and you'll see what I mean.

One thing they all seem to agree on, however, is that Peter Lawwell is behind everything. I don't know if it's true or not but they're all saying that Lawwell is now sitting on the board of the SFA. Of course, this is all grist to their mill and they delight in rhyming off all the supposed Celtic-minded in the SFA. Like everybody else it seems, they have completely forgotten El Presidente, one Mr Campbell Ogilvie EBT. If anyone at the SFA is compromised it is him and yet nothing is done about it! So much for Lawwell running everything, eh?

Some of the bangers are now shouting about taking the SFA to court. Apparently they want their prize money for 2011-12 and to see the details of the five-point agreement, a document we'd all like to have a look at! As to the prize money, they keep forgetting that Whyte cheated so they are due not a penny. And while they're demanding transparency, maybe we'll get to see the full report about Whyte's continued involvement at Ibrox!

As expected, the desperate claims by certain Ersatzers that Celtic is in fiduciary trouble have been shown to be garbage. Phil Mac Whatsit has consulted accountancy experts, who have deemed the Ersatz reading of Celtic's accounts as, to quote the financial terminology used by Phil, 'Pish!'





This is the house that Moses built.





These are the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.




This is the man, who sold the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.
 
 
 
These are the bigots, all forlorn, who blamed the man, who sold the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.
 

This is the clown, all shaven and shorn, who cheered up the bigots, all forlorn, who blamed the man, who sold the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.



The selfsame bigots, to the manner born, who chased the clown, all shaven and shorn, who cheered up the bigots, all forlorn, who blamed the man, who sold the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.



This is the man over whom they fawn, those selfsame bigots, to the manner born, who chased the clown, all shaven and shorn, who cheered up the bigots, all forlorn, who blamed the man, who sold the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.



This is the alky, all tattered and torn, who cheerleads for the man over whom they fawn, those selfsame bigots, to the manner born, who chased the clown, all shaven and shorn, who cheered up the bigots, all forlorn, who blamed the man, who sold the shares that hung on the wall that held up the house that Moses built.

EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE

A quick trawl through the Ersatzers' websites shows that many of them are unhappy, to say the least, that Ronnie and Reggie seem to have got themselves comfortably ensconced in the Ibrox boardroom. They're still banging on about McColl taking over and they're desperate for the EGM to take place, even though that seems unlikely now. Even Barry Ferguson uses his column in the Daily Record to beat the drum for McColl, Blin and Murray. It looks like this won't go away in a hurry.

Of course, bigotry and sectarianism are never far from the surface and all the bile comes pouring out even in this internecine quarrel. Chris Graham, it appears, is married to a Celtic-supporting Catholic, which the Vanguard Bears use as a stick to beat him with. Meanwhile, the supporters of the current board see the McColl bunch as 'traitors' since they are using the supposedly Celtic-and-Catholic Daily Record to put their case across.

Loony Leggat sticks to his usual character assassination, devoting his blog to tearing Jack Irvine to shreds. His blog verges on libelous and the only reason he will not be sued is because it is well known that nobody takes his drunken ramblings seriously.

On Bill McMurdo's blog many of the posters still persist in the paranoid delusion that Peter Lawwell is responisble for all their ills. Apparently he, single-handedly, made sure that Ersatz FC was 'demoted' so that Celtic could have a clear run at European football every year. He made sure that the SFA passed Craig Whyte as 'fit and proper' as part of his nefarious plan to destroy Rangers! The frightening thing is that these folk honestly believe this tripe!

And why would Lawwell go to such lengths? Well, it's all part-and-parcel of the supposed financial difficulties faced by Celtic. Somebody, who calls himself after what sounds like three characters from Lord of the Rings, has been scrutinising Celtic's accounts and has been badgering Glasgow City Council in order to prove some kind of theory that Celtic have been getting preferential treatment. (And they call us obsessed!) Personally, I don't understand a word that he's on about so it's difficult to discuss its veracity. It has, however, been pounced on by the Ersatzers so they can deflect from their own troubles. It certainly reeks of desperation! The fact that none of the papers deem it worthwhile reporting on is, to them, merely proof that all the media is under Lawwell's control.

Also cited as evidence of this control is the fact that none of our media (or 'mhedia' as they call it) saw fit to report that Lee Rigby's family were at Ibrox. Of course, it doesn't occur to them that maybe nobody wants to indulge them in their sickening PR exercises anymore. The whole country was shocked by what happened to the young soldier and everyone's thoughts went out to his family. Only one football club in the whole of Britain, however, thought it was appropriate to invite the family to their ground in some chest-beating exercise in showing that they care more than everyone else. Back in Jabba's day a big deal of it would have been made in the Daily Record but, thankfully, we've moved on since then.

The whole 'Dhaily Rhebel' idea falls apart when you read about something that happened at the Daily Record offices recently. Phil Mac-Whatsit has the full story. Apparently some fat (is there any other kind?) Ersatzer turned up at the Daily Record demanding to speak to somebody about how the paper was 'anti-Rainjurz.' Of course, he didn't get any satisfaction so he decided to kick hell out of the revolving door! From the pictures on Phil Mac-Whatsit's blog, it seems he caused quite a bit of damage. Strangely, though, the police were not called and it was decided not to mention it in the paper itself. Does this sound like the actions of a rabidly anti-Ersatz newspaper to you?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the current board at Ibrox, quite understandably, demanded to see evidence that those pushing for an EGM actually owned shares. Strangely, or maybe not so, McColl and Murray refused to respond. Another shareholder, however, some group called 'Artemis', has provided evidence and the board now has until September 9th to either come to some agreement or call an EGM. The clock is ticking.

Artemis, in Greek mythology, was the goddess of the hunt, usually depicted carrying a bow and arrow. I don't know who Artemis the shareholders are but the name does not augur well for Ersatz FC. It looks like another bloodbath might be on the cards. Whatever happens it'll be all Peter Lawwell's fault anyway!

Today is the 74th anniversary of the beginning of World War II, when, if we are to believe the Ersatzers, Scottish Protestants fought and won against the Catholic forces of Nazism and Fascism. We should all be eternally grateful that these gallant men fought for the right to sing the Billy Boys, even though they now have to sing it to the tune of Slade's Cum On Feel The Noize!





Leggat profoundly regrets the content of his recent blogs.
