I was saddened to hear that an air of distrust and suspicion recently descended over the centre of sporting mediocrity that is Murray Park.
Apparently, your humble correspondent was largely to blame.
You see dear read the recent manifestation of fighting spirit on the playing fields of Auchenhowie was meant to remain in-house.
Alas, you read it about it here very quickly after the events had taken place.
The entire Sevco High Command was galvanised into Churchillian action.
This security breach into the goings on at the Forbidden City at Milngavie was a situation up with which they were not about to put.
Indeed accusations of treachery were levelled at the moderator of the Quintessentially British WhatsApp group.
I’m told that his accusers were the Serious Professional and an inter-galactic PR guru.
The entire squad was left in no doubt that anything that happens at Murray Park should stay in-house.
Ah if only the Sevco High Command had just to contend with the obedient stenographers then there would have been no need for that tetchy pep talk.
The fact remains that there is a split dressing room at the Engine Room Subsidiary and trying to suppress that will not make that reality disappear.
For the avoidance of doubt, I never discuss sources.

I have been of the opinion that the so called ‘leader’ of the WhatsApp group is…..desperate to take over the reins at Castle Greyskull…….
himself and the recently departed ‘Big Jig’ McCulloch have long since craved to take over the reins from the un-magic hat……
Big jig is still waiting in the wings even though he sits in the hot seat at the wee Ayrshire-Gers at the moment…
The experienced / mature WhatsApp general will continue to spill the Mexican beans as and when it adds more power to his elbow and furthermore weakens Bro Pedro’s credibility….
the latest aspersion being that the WhatsApp gang have a nickname for Pedro….THE FRAUD…
How elegant……
How does King & Co deal with this scenario should the shit hit the fan?
In the same manner SDM did with Le Guen & Bampot Baz?
Side with the fanatics and dispense with the Poundshop Jose…..PLUS….his 8/9 Amigo’s…..???
HEFTY HEFTY cash required for that stand off…..
I await the day
Phil I’m going to ask a genuine question.If you know all this why are you writing a blog that a few hundred people read.Should the red tops not be kicking your door down?
Genuine question:
How do you know the traffic on this site?
Wouldn’t ‘Quintessential Peepul’ use a..
WATPsAPP group ?
On the Orange Network of course
Perhaps the following linked article (dealing with the arrest of Angel Maria Villar in the Canaries) on football related corruption might be useful for comparative purposes:

Spanish people are well aware that fiddles, fixes and dodginess of every hue exist in football as in other spheres of life. Unlike here where a blithe spirit worthy of Pangloss himself that we inhabit the best of all possible worlds.
If you need a translation let me know.
No problemo, Cortes, we’re all fluent Spanish readers …
Knowing the source of the Nile is one thing, being up a famous creek without a paddle is quite another
I feel the big issue is the cheating via EBT’s and the sporting advantage undoubtedly gained. Why not simply make these observations known to UEFA and have CAS have the final say on this and NewCo/DeadCo.? With this in black and white it can get plastered over the local papers for all the world to see and glory in. Congrats on the Murray Park debacle no doubt one of many!!
UEFA?!
UEFA are part of it. They have been from the off.
For evidence look at their own continued ignorant silence on the issue, one daft letter from ‘the great’ Andreas Traverso aside, where the key word (‘New’) was completely omitted by the Scottish media without a word of complaint of tampering or subversion of their own factual data by UEFA.
People seem to be labouring under the somewhat stupid impression that just because the FBI raided their offices, UEFA has been somehow miraculously ‘cleansed’ of all corruption, when the opposite case has significantly greater traction.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to that FBI case ..?
I haven’t heard a word on it for over 2 years now …
Is it Penry, the mild mannered janitor?
Surely you mean ‘Penury’ ..?
Meanwhile a free kick was scored in training :-))
any truth in the rumour that jim white rushed to the training ground when word broke of this amazing achievement and his first line was “how are you so good”
Phil, any idea who was the UEFA delegate in Belfast last week?
Joe,there was a UEFA match delegate,a security officer due to the trouble anticipated and a referees’ assessor who will all study footage( accompanied by Benny Hill theme tune)and come to their decision.Thankfully,the ref for the “friendly”return is a no nonsense type of proper ref and not one driven to the game by a guy called Pedro.
In the squad at work we also have a watsapp group called gang 1banter ,between 10 of us it really does unite the gang at work through pisstaking and banter … maybe just maybe pedros playmakers have there own wee banter group on watsapp ?
Jayz, it must be like a scene from Reservoir Dogs every day oer there
‘How do we know it’s not YOU that’s the snitch?!’
‘ME? A snitch?! Maybe it’s YOU that’s the fuckin snitch!!!’
And on & on, ad infinitum, every waking working day.
It’s the Mexican Stand Off that’ll kill them though …
🙂
Take it they’re pulling out all the stops in searching for ‘The Source of the Bile ‘
Hehe Norty Rascal strikes again.
Keep up the good work
As the late Windsor Davies used to say in a popular 1970’s sitcom, “Oh dear, how sad, never mind!”
The only time the stenographers will print anything about the goings on at Ibrox or Murray park is if the club want rid of someone and want to blacken his character. Well done Phil as ever on the ball putting scottish journalism to shame
I don’t think they need the PR Guru Phil. They can do what they want without question from any media source, not just the ones based in Scotland. Nothing from the Governing bodies as regards to to Title Stripping. What a surprise. If no other clubs make statements, it will be put out that Celtic are the only club to question and will be put down to rivalry. Fans need to do something and quickly. They will try to ride the storm otherwise.
Totally agree wiyh this. They will ridd evefy ripple until thr fans get s wave. #boycottcheats is THEE only way. #financialdoping needs set off.
Ah a becon of proper journalism amongst a sea of of obedient level 5 churnsalists keep up the good work Phil!
