On the day of Paul McBride’s funeral, we respectfully re-publish our (revised) poetic tribute. Johnbhoy “PMB … QC … RIP” (A tribute to the late Paul McBride, QC) Forthright; fearless; peerless … no back seat for him – and none for us. Flamboyant boldness … steadfast under fire – cool, calm, no fuss. Unfazed; remorseless…

Yesterday all the smart money was on Rangers being doomed, halfway down the slippery slope to inevitable liquidation. Well, what a difference a day makes … allegedly.  According to the news this morning, they’re practically home and dry!  D&P apparently say Craig Whyte, hot on the heels of his official SFA ratification as an unfit…

In plain English (dispensing with all the incomprehensible “legalese”),  to a potential buyer of a business, “Due Diligence” means, by proper investigation, making sure you’re going to get what you think you’re going to get … and what you’re going to be paying for. Practically speaking, that means fully unearthing and understanding all of the…

I read with a certain degree of interest and no little amusement, the respective press effusions of Lorenzo Amoruso and Dave King in respect of the current travails of RFC (In Administration). “Amo” defiantly trumpets that NO-ONE will be stripping HIM of his hard-earned spoils from his time in Govan.  They were, he bellows, the…

A few respectful words on the passing of a good friend … a good friend to Celtic … to the Celtic manager … and to all the Celtic-minded. Johnbhoy “PMB … QC … RIP” (A Tribute to Paul McBride) Forthright; fearless; peerless … no back seat for him – and none for us. Flamboyant boldness…

No doubt, in the wake of his outspoken, controversial and inflammatory intervention into the current unravelling Rangers administration and possible liquidation saga, the establishment knives will be out for Hugh Adam and his character assassination will be well under way: doddery old fool … bitter reject … dinosaur … what does HE know, anyway? You…

A FEW REFLECTIONS ON AN UNFOLDING SCOTTISH FOOTBALL DOCU-DRAMA: Denial (WATP!) None so blind as those that will not see; so deaf as … will not hear; dumb as … will not speak. Directed, they would not look; informed, would not listen; implored, not tell. Miza, Mika and Maza, shorn of wisdom. Pointing, shouting, urging…

So, Murdo MacLeod doesn’t think there’s a case for stripping the EE of any silverware and bunting that may have been acquired “illicitly”, eh?  Wonder what he’d be saying if it had tainted the era he played in!  Well,  surely it can’t go that far back. All I can say is, “Try telling that to…

A few words of explanation for any apparent dearth of sympathy. That Hearse … (A Litany of Grievance) That hearse … those sick headlines … us trod underfoot; crack’d crests and tombstones to stick in the boot. Tenners for fivers, casinos and malls; the moonbeams, the taunting – it all still appals. Tramps … thieves … thugs … beggars…

Surprise, Surprise! Seems “Wee Eck” and “Lord Snooty” are both backing the Gers, each clearly in pursuit of his own short-term political agenda; each blatantly hoping to drum up loyal support in the forthcoming Independence referendum. You couldn’t make it up.  Not even in the the comics. Never mind natural justice!  What does it matter…
