Here in Ireland, we’re getting ready to hunker down as Hurricane Ophelia is about to make landfall tomorrow.
The folk at Met Éireann are playing a blinder in keeping the public up to date with the exact location and strength of this dangerous weather system.
The south of the island will, as it stands at present, get the worst of it.
I called a buddy of mine down the country and he scoffed a bit at how bad the Ophelia girleen might be when she arrives.
Of course, it is never a good idea to ignore the advice of experts on these important matters.
This site has something of a track record in flagging up impending shitstorms at Ibrox.
Sadly, the experience has been one of being attacked by those in the direct path of the tsunami of excrement headed their way.
So it was in 2010 and 2011.
When Hurricane Hector finally slammed into Ibrox in 2012 the sound of The People bleating that no one had warned them was especially heart-rending.
No, it was…
As I await Ophelia to arrive I am relying on the scientifically trained folk who know what they are warning about.
Sadly, some people are still in the age of superstition and eschew evidence based analysis.
Instead of a meteorologist, they might find themselves consulting a seer or, indeed, a prophet.
When The People were being warned here that there was an apocalyptic event heading to Ibrox in season 2011-2012 I was disbelieved.
Instead the dignified demographic turned to one of their own to discern the future.
Then when Charles of Normandy acquired the basket of assets the same young clairvoyant said that there “was no clouds over Ibrox”.
This chap was an important apparatchik during the Off Licence Putsch in March 2015.
He was awarded for his service to his King with a seat in the boardroom.
Of course, he wasn’t there long.
I cannot confirm or deny if he saw into the future on that one.
In any case, peace be upon him.
I think it is fair to say that a lot of folks invested a lot of hope in Mr David Cunningham King.
To them, he was the saviour they had been waiting for.
He was, in their eyes, one of their own, a true Bear and crucially a very rich one.
Indeed, this is what they thought Mr Whyte to be in May 2011.
A wealthy fan who would bankroll the supremacist dreams of the Bearmacht.
I did tell them, via this site, but they chose, instead, to believe the Off The Radar correspondent at a well-known Blatt.
Once again in March 2015, Ibrox was in the control of a rich man who loved “Rainjurrzz”.
Finally, it seemed that The People were saved.
The sight of Mr King on the steps of Ibrox was what many of them had prayed for.
Sadly, it was a rather different type of Deliverance they were in store for.
Now last week in the Court of Session Mr King, via his learned counsel, stated to Lord Bannatyne that he was “penniless”.
This must be an inconvenient fact for his staunchest supporters in Scotland to take in.
I now hear that one prescient young chap, peace be upon him, hasn’t been returning the urgent calls of some within the Sevco High Command.
To compound this mystery his dignified Twitter account appears to have been deleted.
Perhaps, for once, he sees that there IS a shitstorm heading to Ibrox and it ain’t gonna be no Concert Party when the Take Over Panel get their way.
I think the original Ophelia would appreciate his predicament, little more than a useful idiot hung out to dry by a glib and shameless liar.
It is rather Shakespearean.
Now, if you’re on my island then please hunker down and take the advice of people who know their stuff.
Only the stupid ignore storm warnings.
A “favourable settlement” of the Take Over Panel case for King would be that Lord B uses his discretion to decide that the other three concert part members should bare their share of the burden. They have much more to lose from the cold shoulder so would need to comply – after all they have kosher, sustatinable businesses to protect in the UK – and King would probably find some way of pursuading them to take his share of the weight too, or else . . .
They might argue that they were not subject to the original Take Over Panel judgement and so are not within its graps. But arguing that would be costly, protracted and ultimately futile because there were and are King’s concert party conspiritors.
More bad news then for those who have trusted King. It would seem that honour amongst RRM is a somewhat nostalgic notion.
And of course, more bad news for RIFC plc. Anyone with any sense will take the 20p and run – leaving the soft loaners with yet more cost to refill the bullet-riddled bucket that is the Ibrox finances.
Mike Boyle…8:22pm…
Are you a cousin perhaps….
Without the “H”…??
Unless you are paying exorbitant monthly bills for Sky or BT there will be no prospect of following Champions League games or Scotland internationals on council telly.
ITV has a contract to show late night highlights of both, by which time most folk are in bed.
BBC is not at the races.
This is bad enough for those who cannot afford the subscription fees or have decided that the end product is not worth the outlay and have ended their Sky/BT contracts.
The weekend Liverpool/Man Unt game was hyped up all week as the biggest game of the season and turned out to be a complete damp squid
One team tried to win the game but as usual Mourinho parked the bus and played for a point.
Most EPL games are hardly worth a watch as the entertainment value is poor.
This weekend we have the BetFred League Cup semi finals at Hampden.
Neither Well nor Rangers have a midweek game whilst Celtic, representing Scottish football, have a huge game in Munich on Wednesday night.
The SFA allow BT to pick the Celtic game for Saturday with a lunch time kick off whilst the other game will be played on Sunday.
This is madness as Celtic won’t be back from Germany till Thursday so will have one day to recover, shrug of knocks then get stripped for the Hibs game.
Brendan talked about common sense going out the window. If it suited BT they could have even demanded the game be played on Friday night, or whenever it suited them.
It’s not as if Sky or BT are pouring vast amounts of money into Scottish football, instead it’s a pittance, no surprise there as our football authorities are not fit for purpose, the farcical Scottish Cup draw at the weekend being the latest embarrassment.
It would be interesting to see what the subscription numbers are for Sky and BT sports channels over the last couple of years.
Does anyone have a reference point? My personal experience is that Sky is desperate to bring former customers back into the fold with targeted calls being made offering substantial discounts to the rates being charged to existing customers.
That says to me that the subscription base is falling in the UK and it’s only the overseas subscribers that are propping up and financing the show.
You have to wonder about a fan base who can ignore a looming financial crisis and a pending COS ruling that will make their de facto Chairman even more toxic in the city.
None of this gets a mention in their blogs, it’s as if it’s not happening.
The accounts are due out anytime and no matter what gloss is applied you can’t polish a turd.
The fan base instead is talking up a 3 player January swoop financed by…..???????
A lesser known bookie has Newco as joint favourites with Celtic to sign McGinn from Hibs……wow, it’s mind blowing.
They are sleep walking into a major crisis off the park yet again and no doubt they will find someone else to blame because thats what they do.
Great piece, Phil, hilarious stuff.
As regards ‘trusting the experts’, I recommend this video to all so that they see the difference between what the US tv weather folk said, about Hurricane’s Nate & Irma coming in over Cancun & Havana and what Cancun & Havana’s real time meteorological reports actually said …
(You can skip to 1:02 and avoid the two frauds at the start.)
https://youtu.be/9W0VuokaRYY
Quite the discrepancy between the 4 reports, don’t you think ..?
And thanks for the warning, much appreciated, but I’ve been stirring up storms of my own making my entire life and there’s only ever been the truth at the heart of them.
Stay safe, hope yourself and the family are well.
And I reckon we should all have a look at the Met Éireann real time data for ourselves, just in case, now that we’ve seen the lies these peepil are capable of.
Phil, I have just checked the Met Éireann 5 day forecast and NOWHERE does the real time data show storms, or even rain and the winds are barely even gusts, most coming in around 1-8 miles per hour.
I can’t send the link as, for some mysterious reason, THE WEATHER CHARTS ARE COPYRIGHT PROTECTED (! Why?!) but I strongly recommend that you, and anyone else reading this if you post it, check out the Met Éireann web page immediately to see for yourselves.
Because, according to them, THERE IS NO STORM OVER IRELAND!
Stay safe, one & all.
Three people have lost their lives down the country and my house is shaking.
This is a storm…
I know that, Phil, I can see it with my own eyes.
But that is NOT what the Met Éiranne pages are reporting.
All they say is high winds and less than 1 millimetre of rainfall across the South & South West.
On an island surrounded by water, isn’t it odd that next to no water falls out of what is alleged to be a hurricane, just like in North California last week and across the US from Nate & Irma the week before?
This the same discrepancy, we can’t see where the hurticanes originated, with the US TV weather reports claiming they came in over Havana & Cancun but, as the video link I sent you shows, there was NO metereological data recording ANYTHING LIKE it over either Havana & Cuba, neither in real time tracking nor in the weather offices history.
These are storms, and their devastation very really, but where are they coming from, when the Met Offices have no data on them ..?
And my utmost respect to those affected by them and to the families of those who have died.
Some of the finest research on the subject you’re ever likely to find on the Internet or anywhere else.

This is no joke at all, Phil, of that I can assure you.
But are these storms real or are they being created by the military so that people can make big bucks on the Stock Exchange and via the Insurance Companies etc and also to manipulate the weather?
The storms and flooding in the North of England a couple of years ago were created out of Northern Ireland as exposed here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w60VAquXm_I
‘This video is unavailable’ YouTube repeatedly tells me so could you check the link again, cheers, Billy?
And to answer your question, the storms, and their damages, are very real but are man made rather than natural.
And these are the topics covered in the 2 videos I’ve sent above and which Phil has very kindly taken the time to examine before posting.
Advanced military weaponry to scorch Americans out of house and home is a shock that has caught even the most diligent observers among us by surprise, although we should well know by now just what these peepil are capable of.
But this is beyond awful because, as the second vid shows, they’ve been doing this stuff for 85 years and most folk don’t even know about it yet.
Sorry folks don’t know why the link is not showing. It is the Ian R Crane channel on Youtube – his Humanity Vs Insanity show program number 60 – A Pilot Speaks Out. On his previous show number 59 they also expose the Chem-Trails that most people do not notice being sprayed across the skies that are full of Aluminium Oxide etc- One of the major reasons that Alzheimers is rocketing.
Cork City have lost a roof, please give generously…
If Dave King buys NUFC for cash from his old mate Mike Ashley, will he have to sell his RIFC shares to avoid dual ownership rules or will the SFA use their blue tinted discretion to move on from the issue. Asking for a friend.
You have to hand it to the SFA. If there’s a way of messing something up they will find it, be it Scottish Cup draw or allowing a convicted criminal to pull the strings at Ibrox.
King has made Regan look like a complete clown with egg all over his face, so much so that if he had an ounce of integrity in his body he would walk.
Makes you wonder if there are other bad eggs floating around the boardrooms of our clubs who, unlike King, had minimum due diligence carried out on them?
The moving on brigade come to mind…
It seems to me for Sevco better the devil you don’t know than the one you do, let’s just hope they don’t suffer and structural damage like Cork City FC during the storm, I am sure we would all hate to see those fantastic exhibitions of bravery and skill by those dangling cannon firing guardians of freedom having to be turned into urgent repairs…
On a more serious not, prayers for those overby, especially for the family who just lost a loved one to a tree crashing into her car…
Another genuine question! What are possible sanctions on King and the Concert Party? For example, can they require them to sell all of their shares? If they can, what could happen in the event that they do not comply?
In essence, under this regulation, does the court have any teeth?
Rebus
I clearly remember Regan making a complete song and dance about the amount of work that had gone in to the fit and proper test of one Dave King.
No one, said the current SFA Chief Exec, has been put under more scrutiny than DCK, before he was fitted out in his fit and proper suit.
A decision was actually delayed because the SFA was waiting on further information from South Africa……obviously not the SA legal authorities then?
What did Regan expect dealing with a convicted criminal who at this stage in his life probably believes his own lies.
For transparency perhaps Stuey should make the information received from South Africa public and compare it with the facts!
Ah but Regan’s definition of transparency exists only in his own mind.
What a feckin shambles. If the concert party have been blind sided by King’s counsel claim of impecuniousity then things could go downhill very quickly unless new money appears on the scene immediately.
What if King requests the repayment of the NOAL loans, repayable on demand to offset any COS judgement.
Has his counsel asked for discretion by revealing King’s impecuniousity to alert the court to the fact that fining him would be a waste of time?
With the accounts due any day now the next 2 weeks could be the most interesting in this saga for a considerable time.
If King exits stage left will SDM enter the fray to save the day?
Excellent Phil. A wee question for you. Is it possible to surf on a Tsunami of excrement? Just asking like!
The reference to the Bearmacht, and also “Deliverance “ superb.
My oldest boy refers to them as having seventeen figures and play the banjos. How true,how true.
The Oxford Dictionary is currently revising the meaning of, gullible,gullibility and gullibillies, so I’ve heard on the street.
Brilliant start to my day. Thank you Sir.
Great piece again Phil. Visiting family in Mayo. We’ve tied everything down as best we can. Stay safe everyone God Bless
Stay safe in my father’s county
Surely after Friday’s revelations at the COS storm clouds are sitting over Ibrox.
With the auditors crossing t’s and dotting i’s on the accounts the news of King being skint couldn’t have come at a worst time.
The remaining concert party members will have to provide solid guarantees to the auditors that they will meet any cash calls as and when required.
This will not prevent a going concern note in the accounts from the auditors but should he enough to get the audited accounts signed off.
Wonder if the full year numbers compiled by the auditors will in any shape or form resemble the 6 monthly back of the fag packet version previously released by the club?
Very interesting few weeks ahead. I’m sure the media will be extremely critical of the latest saviour and some hard questions will be asked about the mooted £30m to £50m investment, over investment and spending his kids inheritance.
They will ask questions, won’t they, or is their remit to feed shit to the gullibles to keep them on board, make sure ST monies roll in, and when it all goes tits up, ignore it.
Newco went all in on this seasons recruitment, with Europa league stage qualification the aim to balance the books.
Instead due to Celtic they received more money from UEFA than they made in their short Euro campaign.
Leaving dubiety about both transfer fees in and out aside, the wage bill has increased significantly.
It’s difficult to contemplate anything other than another loss reported in the annual accounts to 30/6/17.
None of the concert party are billionaires unlike a recent incumbent. Given their contribution to date they must be running on empty with little, or no, prospect of getting their money back unless they can bring someone to the party who has real financial clout.
Of course someone of that ilk would want to have a good look under the bonnet which won’t be pretty.
If this storm hits the west of Scotland then i just hope the auld roof on my garden shed stands up to the pounding.
Thankfully i don’t have anything of any great value in there, so if the worst were to happen then it won’t be a great loss.
I just hope everyone in the west of Scotland with an auld shed, hut or stadium with a dodgy roof and nothing of any great value inside ascapes the worst of these high winds.
Cheers for another great piece Phil and just like Ophelia i’m howling aswell.
Have ever admited you were wrong about something with regards sevco?
Or said something that happened was good news for them?
Genuine question
Genuine answer Martin, I first started reading Phil way back by accident, my house was flooded, I moved my wife out to visit family and lived with the dryers the insurance company put in, sleeping on a matresss on the floor.
trawling around I found a reference to Phil and read the low down on Murray and Rangers. Downfall followed and through Phil I read the late Paul Mcconville RIP.
FACTS, so many others are regurgitating them to this day.
So I will ask you to show where Phil has been wrong, be it Murray, his companies, RFC(IL) or PretendyGers. Better still, YOU tell me any good news that has happened to RFC(IL) or the renamed Sevco entity, the only thing I can think on is that potless Murray is the only RRM NOT to lose money, he had none.
Meanwhile EVERY other Chancer has creamed the Baa Baa Blue Sheep time and again and they have taken umbrage at it being pointed out to them… BEFORE it happened.
Any good things? How about multiple league and cup titles and tasty Ebts? Of course they’re going to be stripped? Or are they?Cheats don’t prosper?Who are the gullible?
Think you’ll find…that is if you want; looking back to all Phil’s blogs and you will find out that he has got everything just about 100% spot on. Now if you are one of the deluded…then you won’t bother to check that out and go on believing what you read in the Scottish Media; fed as they are by the Level 5 and the Klan.
Phil,
You speak of “Hurricane Hector” as if in a historical sense. Hurricane Hector is still very much with us and has merely moved on to a subsequent act.
With it’s gathering vortex, the audience awaits it sweeping up all the “Improperly Registered Funambulists”.
The audience breaks into laughter as one cardigan clad funambulist tries to hang on with an ever stretching elastic band as he clings to the hope that he can find the safety of a concrete built, litigation lawyer,s office based on allegedly poor financial advice.
Oh how I long for ice cream and jelly at the interval, as the tension mounts.
Great work Phil.
“Bearmacht”.
Outstanding!
If I may, in that vein, perhaps suggest the Sevco High Command should be referred to as the “Oberkommado Des Beares”…
Chapeau
Seig Heil mein fuhrer King. Seig Heil.
God Bless this lovely land of mine tonight and every night.
Thanks Phil hope you all stay safe tonight and every night.
God Bless you all.
The king has no clothes lol
We are not worthy of you Phil…’Bearmacht’… absolute classic!
Many thanks, but I can’t claim coinage.
Phil, That piece was, forgive the mis-spelling …..Bootiful, …..
*THAT* scene in “Deliverance” reminds me of Dave King and anyone’s accounts he gets ahold of.
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Dave King where’s yer troosers
Phil what you write is common sense , unfortunately sense is not common amongst our blue friends.
As the old Fox TV show the X Files stated “The Truth is Out There”.
I prefer the old BBC children’s TV show from the 60’s/70’s…
HECTOR’S HOUSE.
TEE, HEE!!
And today Sevco is going out of the round window…
🙂
Phil their windows and the rest of the Crumbledome will be blown away very soon; physically and metaphorically speaking. Bless them for they know not what they do.
Are you my cousin…without the “H”…??
Great article and loved the piece about the “Bearmacht” great word, just wondered why the “peace be upon him” bits?
Check the name Chris Graham…peace be upon him…
and why his brogues were taken back….rather quickly.
Make sure that you and your family stay safe Phil – we need you to keep us up to date with the pantomime that is shitstorm Ibrox and the latest enlightenment from Senor Pedro
