    I googled it in case it was some hilarious saying that I'd never heard of but found nothing.

    I can only assume he means Celtic have a carpet like Kilimanjaro due to the amount we have swept under it <laugh>

    A PERVERT who carried out a sex attack on a woman after a Loyalist flute band’s Halloween party is facing jail.

    Campbell Stevenson, 38, had been dressed as a zombie priest before he pounced.

    The taxi driver had been at the event with his wife and family but forced himself on the 33-year-old victim after driving her home.

    He denied the attack in 2014 but was found guilty yesterday after a trial at Hamilton Sheriff Court.

    The woman told the trial dad-of-two Stevenson pretended he was making sure she arrived home safely from High Blantyre Hall.

    But he followed her into her flat. She said: “He started kissing me. I was pushing him away, I was pushing him back to try and get him off.”

    He texted her in the next few days but she replied: “That was out of order what you did to me on Saturday, please stop texting me.”

    Stevenson texted back: “I know it was, I’m sorry.”

    Sheriff Douglas Brown deferred sentence on Stevenson, from East Kilbride, and put him on the sex offenders’ register.

    IN 42 years in print journalism I have never come across a worse failure of a newspaper to back a writer than that of The Herald and Graham Spiers.
    I left The Herald four months ago on good terms and the paper had my loyalty for 28 years. Should a reporter get something wrong there is a duty to raise a hand and accept responsibility. But when a journalist insists on and can prove the veracity of a story an editor should provide full backing. That’s the deal.
    Yesterday this apology was carried by the newspaper’s website: “In a recent column for heraldscotland, Graham Spiers said an un-named Rangers director had praised the song The Billy Boys.

    “He also questioned the willingness of Rangers directors to tackle offensive behaviour, and The Herald and Graham Spiers accept this was inaccurate.”
    But Spiers, himself a Rangers supporter who was once given police advice on threats from the club’s fanatics, did not and does not accept this. “My opinion – as expressed in my column – was based on a truthful account of my meeting with a Rangers director,” he insisted yesterday in a statement saying “the pressure brought upon the newspaper became severe.”

    A hard-line fans’ website swiftly boasted that the threat of withdrawal of £40,000 in advertising revenues by motor sales and coach operators Park’s clinched the climb-down. The owner is a Rangers director. I hope this is not true.
    The irony is that this website — the same unsavoury crowd who recently threatened critics and their wives and children — loudly trumpet the merits of the full bigoted songbook at Ibrox. The previous article proclaimed the Billy Boys football’s “haka” for the Protestant Unionist Loyalist community.
    It used to be press passes and access which were threatened. If it’s advertising, who’s next?

    True

    But being sacked for backing a colleague is wrong

    Its outrageous, this may backfire big time on the Herald, a few thousand lost readers could kill them off quicker than the lost £40,000 advertising revenue.

    Mclaughlin was backed by the BBC at least

    It's kind of ironic that some of those complaining that a director of the club was accused of liking the billy boys are avid fans of the billy boys

    Vanguard bears as an example
