Almost as big a myth as the one about him being veggie. Converted to Protestantism but most reckon he was really an Atheist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler
This is getting beyond a joke; I really think he is quite insane. Set your faces to "Stunned" with this delusional rant. Tuesday, 18 December 2012 BRIAN PATRICK McNALLY AND RANGERS MONEY? RANGERS legendary manager, Scot Symon’s way to the Scottish Football Museum’s Hall of Fame at Hampden is being barred by two rabid Celtic supporting reporters. They are Scotsman Publications pair Andrew H Smith, a former editor of the Celtic View and veteran Glenn Gibbons, who just loves to tell stories about his great pal, Jock Stein. Smith and Gibbons both sit on the committee which decides every year who is going to be admitted to the Hampden Hall of Fame. Let us be clear here, this is not the Scottish Football Association Hall of Fame , entry to which is automatic to any player who has played 50 times for Scotland. The criteria for admission to this Hall of Fame is pretty vague, though it seems one thing which makes it harder to gain entry is having been a successful Rangers manager. For instance, it took five years of inductions before the most successful manager in the history of Scottish football, Bill Struth, could find a place and then only after a real argy bargy. Just why was this committee, on which Andrew H Smith and Glenn Gibbons are such influential voices, so reluctant to vote for such an obvious Hall of Fame candidate as Bill Struth? Yet Jock Stein was pushed through the doors of the Hampden Hall of Fame almost before they were opened. An unseemly, but typical rush job from Andrew H Smith and Glenn Gibbons. Since then there has even been a place for Rose Reilly in the Scottish Football Hall of Fame at Hampden. Rose Who? Exactly! But no room for James Scotland Symon – Scot Symon, a giant of a manager and a fine man too, whose life and times I chronicle in GREAT SCOT – THE JAMES SCOTLAND SYMON STORY which is in the W H Smith’s Best Sellers list and is also selling well at the Argyle Street branch of Waterstone’s, though strange to relate, the Sauchiehall Street branch has it hidden away and its Rangers book section is swamped by Philmacgiollabhain’s rant. That is because, I am told, Waterstone’s leave the promotion and placement of books in each individual store to the individual store manager. However, I am pleased to tell you that signed copies of GREAT SCOT – THE JAMES SCOTLAND SYMON STORY are available at W H Smith and Waterstone’s branches in Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street. Unfortunately none have yet arrived to restock the Rangers Mega Store at Ibrox since my sell out signing stint there with wee Davy Wilson on Sunday December 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]. But this is not the fault of anyone connected with Rangers. Publishers, Black and White have spent the fortnight trying to get the man in charge of the new system of ordering, to get off his backside. For I know for a fact that the book’s publishers, Black and White, made eight unsuccessful attempts to contact the man all orders for the Rangers Mega Store have to go through since the tie up with Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct. His name is Stuart Middlemiss and he is the commercial manager of Newcastle United. I can also tell you for a fact – and I have the evidence to prove it – that Rangers commercial director, Imran Ahmad has sent at least three emails to Stuart Middlemiss telling him to get his finger out. And both Imran Ahmad and Rangers financial director, Brian Stockbridge, have already found to their own cost that they can’t get what they want in the Rangers Mega Store, thanks to Stuart Middlemiss. Both could not find sweaters they wished to purchase. Now, I have never met Stuart Middlemiss and I do not know who is friends in an around Newcastle - including the Newcastle press pack – are. But I do know that when I was based in Birmingham I made it my business to know everyone from every department at Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Brom and to share the odd glass with them. Therefore, it is reasonable to ask whether or not the Sunday Mirror’s rabid Celtic supporter and arch Rangers hater of a sports writer, Brian Patrick McNally and Newcastle United commercial manager Stuart Middlemiss, know each other? Do they, for instance, share a glass in one of Brian Patrick McNally’s favourite watering holes, the Irish Centre, which is just a goal kick away from Newcastle United’s St James’ Park? For remember, every item asked for in the Rangers Mega Store, from my Scot Symon book, through Rangers sweaters and commemorative crystal, which Stuart Middlemiss has not made sure is available, costs Rangers money. And that would surely please Philmacgiollabhain’s pal, the man who reports on Newcastle United for the Sunday Mirror and who has shown a bitter hatred of all things Rangers, Brian Patrick McNally. As for those other two Rangers haters, Scotsman Publications pair Andrew Smith and Glenn Gibbons. All they succeed in doing by barring the way to the Scottish Football’s Hampden Hall of Fame to Scot Symon – a manager who won two trophies with East Fife, 15 with Rangers and gave debuts to half the Partick Thistle team which beat Jock Stein’s Celtic in the 1970 League Cup Final - is to leave themselves and their newspapers wide opened to accusations of bias.
I read it this morning. I actually had to read it twice to make sure. Ergo, obviously, he's pals with a guy I don't like and therefore responsible for blocking supplier routes for my book in a ludicrously elaborate effort to cost Rangers money
And talking of madness: I see that Montrose have issued an unreserved apology for the insulting and offensive comments in Saturday’s matchday programme. Rangers fans will no doubt make their own minds up whether or not to accept this apology but what is really encouraging is that it came about by a combination of fan power and club response. People who intend to abuse and insult Rangers Football Club must be made aware that they will do so in an environment of zero tolerance. Gone are the days of stoic acceptance by the Rangers family of every slight and insult hurled at the club and its support. The bear has woken up and it is an angry bear! My colleague at CRO, Chris Graham, wrote a great piece yesterday on another person who likes to spin the “new club” yarn. The bitter, twisted haters who like to talk about Rangers having no history tend to have a fondness for a club that likes to hide a good deal of their history – and for very good reasons. It’s interesting that so many of these haters were appealing to UEFA as the arbiter in football to deal with Rangers over umpteen alleged indiscretions but these same haters refuse to accept that UEFA has deemed Rangers to be the same club it has been for 140 years. Mind you, the love-in with UEFA by these Rangers-haters ended a wee while back, as displayed on the notorious banner they lifted up. The cold, hard truth for all with an anti-Rangers bias is that Rangers’ history is intact, including the world record 54 titles. High-ranking judges have decreed it. The SFA have confirmed it. As have UEFA, the SFL and the ECA. Even the Biased Broadcasting Corporation have had to admit it. The Kaiser himself – Dermot Desmond – has spoken eloquently of it. The Rangers now are the Rangers then and will be Rangers forever. And, after today’s share issue closes, the club will be greatly capitalised and ready to face whatever the future brings. Seeing as I am evangelising here on behalf of Scotland’s biggest team, I would like to give this opportunity to anyone who follows lesser teams, particularly those who support a team in the sinking SPL:- Leave the darkness and come into the light! Repent of your folly in supporting teams distorted by hate and greed. Join the ever-growing band of those who have seen the light that shone in the night and follow the happy throng. Be converted and come support the famous Glasgow Rangers. There’s room for you, friend. All are welcome if you leave the bitterness and lies behind. The land of milk and honey awaits you. Leave it all behind and be one of The People. Receive the Good News today!
McMurdo is easily outmentalling Leggo - and he doesn't even have pishy thighs, ancientness or blootered braincells to blame Oooooonwards Christian Soooo-hhhooo-hoooldiers, mar-ching as to war. Ding ding, all aboard the crusade bus. I should say it's about sixteen sausages away, flight commander. Wa-ha. Pip pip, send a telegram to the Duchess and inform her of my willingness to prance the merry sparrow. New balls please.
He did have a **** of a Dad, a bigoted ****stain bringing him up though so I don't blame the Schools.
The reviews for "The Kennedy Kill" are funny. Loads of obvious Celtic and Rangers fans commenting then an American says...
