    Exceptional today <laugh><applause>

    I was about to post this when ST did.

    It actually gets more incredible with each sentence/paragraph (since they're one and the same)<laugh>.

    Basically, what I think we can assert is that no-one with a Timmy name or supports Celtic or is related to anyone with anything to do with Celtic should have no position of power in the country - is it possible to come to any other conclusion?

    Also, no-one can say anything about the institutional bigotry in Northern Ireland 100 years ago or they are "being sectarian" - even if they don't mention a denomination in a tweet.

    The MSP guy story wasn't just about the two midwives (in case anyone else didn't see it), there was quite a list of personal insults the guy had aimed at others in Scottish politics.

    The actual worrying thing about this ***** is the amount of people that hang on his jaundiced, poisonous word - two of whom were up in court last week.

    I dont think it will be too far down the line that Leggat strays into territory that will lead to him being prosecuted.

    I really don't know who should be more insulted by that comparison. Leggo or Dan Brown. <laugh>

    that explains the pro-Celtic bias and anti Rangers agenda many people perceive as being endemic when it comes to the Reporting Scotland output

    if O&#8217;Hara is not there, those wishing to please him, win favour from him and increase their chances of promotion, will adhere to what they believe is Diarmid O&#8217;Hara&#8217;s agenda, without even needing instructions from this great-great grandson of one of Celtic&#8217;s founders.


    a foul, bigoted, sectarian rant

    In a chilling Tweet

    the confirmed bigot, O&#8217;Rourke,

    obviously unrepentant bigot, O&#8217;Rourke

    calling for Protestants to be drowned

    BBC Scotland&#8217;s Reporting Scotland programme, which is in the iron grip of Celtic Family member, Diarmid O&#8217;Hara


    <laugh>

    What a ****ing nutjob.

    I can't believe you are being so blase about it. Joe O'Rourke wants you to drown.

    I know, the sick bastard. <laugh>

    Leggo takes everything literally when it suits his purpose, either that or he really is that stupid.

    I was listening to the radio phone in the other week and a Rangers fan (who had obviously been reading our Leggo) stated that "Lennon should be puir dun for calling the ref a criminal".

    When someone tried to point out that Lennon did not mean it literally, I kid you not, the guy's response was "Aye he did, he's getting away wi murder so he is".

    Hmm.

    I think if Rangers do go into liquidation this bloke is going to have a vervous breakdown. Can someone email him the number for the Samaritans?

    I'm beginning to suspect that Leggo employs a word template for his ravings.

    Key phrases are always used before someone's name:

    the Duff Phelps Two

    rabid Celtic fan

    conman Craig Whyte

    BBC Scotland&#8217;s Reporting Scotland

    Leggo - "Maybe Duff and Phelps think the people they are dealing with at the moment are not quite the full shilling."

    <laugh>

    That one sentence is a kid in a toy shop moment. You have a whole world open up to you and you just don't know where to start.

    Maybe this bit of classic non-full shilling Leggo?

    "Craig Whyte isn't going to give away his plans. He is a poker player straight from the top drawer, playing his cards close to his chest."

    JOHNSTON'S CHEAP JIBE

    WHEN Alastair Johnston warned Rangers shareholders and supporters to be vigilant about Craig Whyte, the former chairman demeaned himself.

    One can only wonder why Leggo is such a fan of Alastair Johnston, he of the "Surrender? No" quote.

    Nope, can't think why.

    IS CRAIG WHYTE BONKERS? <laugh>

    Had she been alive today, my dear old Scottish Presbyterian Granny would have had the perfect phrase to sum up Craig Whyte. (I would have put good money on her being a left footer!)

    She would have said simply that there was a wee want with him. (Don't old people say the funniest things? Coming soon to Channel 5)

    PERFECT!

    The conman and trickster and huckster is still peddling the same stream of stupidity that he was actually CUTTING the Rangers debt and that he was GOOD for Rangers.

    No sooner had the Duff and Phelps Two, Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, produced figures and details to show that some monies owed date from David Murray&#8217;s shocking stewardship, than, as if on cue from Duff and Phelps, the administrators Whyte appointed, up popped the conman to spout his usual mumbo jumbo nonsense. (You really need to work on your sentence construction David.)

    And this time he included the line to top all lines, The spin to send everyone birling like peeries. Yes, that&#8217;s right, the one with Craig Whyte saying he hoped that in the future he would be able to return to Ibrox to support Rangers.

    Aye, my old Granny would certainly have pegged him as someone with a wee want about him.

    And now I can take her lead and can point to another area where there is a wee want. The sports pages of Saturday&#8217;s Scottish Daily Mail and the strange emphasis put on the story, written by John Greechan, about two of the bidders for Rangers, Bill Miller, the Yankee-Diddle-Not-So-Dandy and Bill Ng from Singapore.

    Now I know the dodgy dealings of Miller in the past was not new on Saturday morning as it had been exposed on the pages of the Daily Record by one of the sports writers who has been in the vanguard of the WHYTE SCANDAL and its many ramifications, Keith Jackson.

    However, not only did Greechan fail to include Miller&#8217;s past, which includes facing charges of breach of contract, wrongful conversion of company monies, mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty and FRAUD! (This...

    He wrote that Bill Miller had built up decent reputation as a turnaround specialist in the United States. ...and this should be one sentence)

    REALLY?

    And just how does that list of charges, which include FRAUD, constitute building up anything other than the reputation of being a dodgy dealer? As someone who does shadowy deals and is shady? (He's shadowy and shady!)

    But of course, for the Scottish Daily Mail man Greechan, Bill Miller is not Paul Murray and not one of the True Blue Knights. So he must be a better bet. Why? No, I&#8217;ve got no idea either. (Did he say he was a better bet than the BKs? I doubt it)

    Greechan&#8217;s piece of peculiar reporting them moved on to quote Billy Ng at length as he spouted his nonsense of grandiose schemes, pie in the sky nonsense and ill thought out proclamations. (If you say so)

    But when you got to the final paragraph of Greechan&#8217;s ramblings, you discovered that Billy Ng&#8217;s reputation in football, his history as the owner of a football club, is not good.

    No, let me rephrase that. Billy Ng&#8217;s history as the owner of a football club is&#8230;.. (Only three ... in an ellipsis David, not five)

    DISASTROUS!

    The club he owns is called Hougang United. They were originally formed in 1981 as Marine Castle United Football Club, have changed their name THREE times, merged TWICE and have also GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.

    You&#8217;ll forgive an old hack who spent nearly half a century in the newspaper business, but that is surely the whole point of the story. (Good God <yikes>)

    That should have been the FIRST paragraph of the story. The INTRO! It should have read&#8230;. (Three ... remember, not four)

    BILL NG, THE SINGAPORE BUSINESSMAN WHO WANTS TO BUY RANGERS, HAS SEEN THE CLUB HE OWNS IN THE FAR EAST CHANGE ITS NAME THREE TIMES AND MERGE TWICE. (You just said that)

    AND THE CLUB HAS ALSO GONE OUT OF BUSINESS! (And that!)

    No pathetic attempts at Fancy Dan writing, no ramblings and no seemingly sticking to the Duff and Phelps agenda. Instead, just a clear, concise and accurate presentation of the facts surrounding Bill Ng and his history as the owner of a football club, at a time when he is trying to buy one of the great names in the world of football, Rangers. (So great they haven't ever won the European Cup)

    Craig Whyte is clearly not the only person my dear old Presbyterian Granny would have thought there was a wee want with, had she been around today.


    &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;
    AND&#8230;&#8230;



    AS predicted here months ago, Odious Creep has popped up on the op-ed pages. With readers of the Scotsman saddled with him writing on religious matters. (He gets around, doesn't he? Must be popular)

    I&#8217;ve been waiting for Creep to sneak into the Scotsman ever since I heard that his pal, Peter McMahon, had been promoted to deputy editor. There&#8217;s always someone who is taken in by Creep.

    But maybe someone can help me here. (Question mark David!) Maybe Creep's pal Peter McMahon knows.

    I am aware that Odious Creep started a theology degree at St Andrew&#8217;s University. Did he ever finish it? Did he get a degree? (I'm guessing no?)

    I&#8217;m sure someone will tell me. (And yet he still gets work with several newspapers, radio stations and TV channels while you sit in your ****ty council house reeking of pish and talking ****e. There's just no justice in the world is there David?)

    At the moment the Scottish media and the h.ns fans lay blame on Craig Whyte. I want to know why ? Surely we all know the Rangers
    debt to be in and around £134 m. As far as I know Whyte, like D. Murray, he is no angel but is he responsible for more than £20m of the debt
    and the fact that he took over a sinking ship would indicate to I that he was duped by D. Murray who must carry the real can.
