The headline included the words “Rangers” and “dying” therefore my interest was immediately piqued.
Sadly, it was just Mr Graeme Souness EBT indulging in some liquidation denial.
“So everyone who rejoiced at Rangers’ problems, I hope they’ve had a rethink and they now see the consequences of that.”
Dear Mr Souness, if I can address you directly, Rangers FC self-destructed.
They died in 2012.
I can recommend a book on the subject.
In fact, it’s the only book on the subject and that it is available on all good books shops is down to the fact that I have a brave publisher.
When others caved he faced down the klan.
So Mr Souness Rangers FC (Est. 1872) are dead.
Got that?
The club that you managed in the 1980s is no more.
It was ceased to be.
It isn’t even pining for the Fjords or even temporarily fucked.
It’s dead.
We clear?
Now Sevco, on the other hand, are very much alive, but not in the best of health.
It would appear that Pedro’s excellent preparations for the Kilmarnock game worked a treat.
As reported here his bi-lingual pep talk earlier in the week prompted an angry delegation going to see the Serious Professional.
In the North East tonight the champions faced their stiffest domestic test in the form of a well-rested Aberdeen side hoping to capitalise on Celtic’s fatigue inducing schedule.
It was 3-0 and the scoreline could have been higher.
In the post-match interview, the Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes was honest in his assessment.
He said that his team had been given “a lesson” and had been “exposed” by Celtic.
He noted that his best player last season (Jonny Hayes) was a substitute for the champions.
The Dons’ boss also pointed out that his best player THIS season (Ryan Christie) couldn’t play tonight because he is loaned to them from Celtic.
It is now SIXTY-ONE games undefeated in domestic competitions for the Parkhead side.
Perhaps this is all too much for that nice Mr Souness.
Indeed, he might need a bit of comfort at this difficult time, something to cuddle.
Timmy Bear is a particularly thoughtful line from General Ashley.
I checked with a Shirebrook source today and apparently this line of merchandise is also included within the new buyback deal.
So either way, wee Timmy is heading to Ibrox.
Anyway, in a generation or so lots of Bears will have decanted to the Timmy camp.
It’s great over here!
good to see cetic fans appreciating w,millers comments.he knows the truth but like the rest are probably sworn not to bring up the big lie. same goes for sutton, however both could be using the term ”THE” rangers and even highlighting the word ”THE” just to remind people they know exactly what happened in 2012.
fair play to celtic your side were devastating on wednesday against my side,no club can live with celtic when they put the pedal hard to the floor in scotland at this time. good luck against bayern, with a bit of luck bayern will be all cocky and get punished for such complacency.i stand with all scottish fans seeking justice for our game,i shall never let the zombies forget what happened in 2012.
Would it be possible to strip Timmy Bear, bare… and give him some alternative attire… abseiling gear perhaps… roof inspector… tax clerk…bear with a sore head…. dumber than the average bear attire… though that might be well nigh impossible.. .!!!
Quality Phil , he even has the right to reply.
Im laid up at the moment and the tv was on sky sports news ,remote out of reach ,so I was subject to his recollections on life as a would be hard bstrd and sometime footballer.
I was thinking how deluded can you be and then remembered his target base for the promotion of his latest “book”.
Jesus H what an ego , his take on the Weah con ,it wasn’t a con , he wasn’t conned ,”they” knew (note jump to collective pronoun) after five minutes in training he was a dud.
But still they were so short of players they just had to use him. So no youth players or reserves to come in ,just this imposter.
Aye right ,sounds really credible.
Movement induces excruciating pain at the moment ,but I just had to get the remote ,he had to go. It was worth it. Particularly like the frontal lobotomy scar to Timmy bear…sympatico.
be lucky .
You get more laughs and entertainment reading about Sevco, than going to Jongleurs Comedy Club! Happiness is being a Tim or Timmy if you prefer? May the good times keep on rollin’
My friend Jongleurs Comedy Club has gone down the same road as Rangers FC. They died a couple of weeks ago!
Was in Big Mike’s store in Dundee Overgate today around noon. Just for fun I asked an extremely helpful assistant if they had any Timmy Bears for sale. After he stopped laughing he replied with a big grin on his face,” Naw we hivnae got any. “
“ Just asking for research purposes” says I ,leaving the store with guffaw of laughter and spring in my step.
It’s an outstanding time for us Timmies not too far removed from Big Jock’s era.
As for Souness, 30k ebt , for scouting. Aye right! He is nothing but a delusional fool.
Whoever interviewed him is more chickenshit than journalist. The brave journalists,some of whom have lost their lives in the pursuit of the truth, and others who endanger the safety of themselves and their families for the same reasons , would be embarrassed by our Scottish non reporting of real news. Chapeau to you one and all!
Thanks again Phil.
P.S. As you predicted the dogs( Montgomery Burns), have been well and truly release on Pedro.
Pedro has been sacked.
The bias is in the detail.
Alves banned for two matches – first one – his next club match irrespective of competition and – second one – his club’s next BeatFred Cup match – so delayed until next season – asuming his club makes it to the next BeatFred competition. Alves may be at Man City or PSG by then or The Rangers may be in the EPL or . . .
I’m sure for every lick plate that says Scottish football needs a strong Sevco there is at lease one ex footballer/manager/director that says actually what Scottish football needs is a good TV rights deal and good advertising deals, for Aberdeen Hearts Hibs and Celtic to do well in Europe. Why any football association in the world would wish to have a club that make headlines for all the wrong reasons is beyond me. Cup final showing to the world this is Scottish football.. what happens! Hibs win their first cup in a hundred years, the dream comes true. A great story for football fans all over the world. This is what it’s like to win… what happens next, Sevco fans run riot and attack players and fans. Big talk of Sevco ‘back in Europe… Sevco lose to some pub team from Luxemburg. Then pictures show their manager standing in a bush squaring up to fans outside the hotel.
As for PR! We had a man saying he has emails from Manchester United and the likes telling him they would love to have Sevco in the English premiership. Manchester United have to make a statement that it was a load of horse shit. The same with some American football team. Again they had to make a statement in saying they never even heard of Sevco! So what exactly has Sevco done for Scottish football besides give it a bad name and make it a laughing stock. And that’s not even to mention having a convicted criminal as lead figure of the club!
Hi Phil,
Developing Story DCK and Cohorts in conclave discussing Pedro
Souness is the living embodiment of the Hurting Hun.
Jabba has leaked to the Daily comic that there’s a board meeting to sack Pedro.
The next guy needs to realise he has one transfer window with sell to buy caveats to win the treble, or he’s out.
Queue up! Queue up!…..,
Emergency board meeting called to discuss Pedro’s future and all SMSM rags think it noteworthy that King will be there in person. I think I may have spotted one of your problems there Rangers . . .
My mate’s just phoned me to say that an “unscheduled” Board meeting has been called at Ibrox for today…and The GASL will be in attendance.
The subject, he tells me, is Pedro’s future.
Watch this space.
Since the St Valentines Day Massacre of 2012, Celtic have won the league every year as expected. They have also lifted a few cups as we expected but we have witnessed Hearts, St Johnstone, Inverness and Hibs lift the Scottish Cup, while Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, St Mirren and Ross County have lifted the League Cup. Is that not good for the game?
Big crowds at Easter Road, Tynecastle and Pittodrie – 2 completed stadiums and possibly a new one on the way for the Dons. Scottish Football is in a decent state at the moment – no thanks to the dying Rangers Fanzine that masquerades as The Daily record, the liquidation deniers at Sky and the BBC and the unfit for purpose authorities at the SFA and SPFL.
The obsession with the now defunct ‘Old Firm’ has held the game back for decades. Even in the build up to the Edinburgh Derby on BT Sport most of the talk was about Sevco. STOP IT FFS!
Over 19,000 watching Hibs play Aberdeen, and 18,500 people watching Hearts play St Johnstone – these are the stories that should be making the headlines – not whether Bruno Alves is being singled out for special treatment, which he is not. Celtic are looking good for a UEFA Cup spot next year but some commentators question whether their participation as Scottish Champions is good for the game – what arrant nonsense!
I actually think Sevco are doing rather well for a five year old club – ahead of Hibs and hot on the heels of Aberdeen – not bad at all, but do we NEED them? Methinks not.
I just wish more pundits would be brave and stop pretending the team playing out of Ibrox is Rangers 1872-2012 and other clubs were given a bit more prominence throughout the media. The sooner this happens the better state the game will be.
Keep fighting the good fight Phil.
I’m sure Aberdeen and Motherwell fans are gutted Rangers* aren’t sitting second in the league. Perhaps they should all just roll over for the Ibrox team?
What an arrogant, smug and annoying bastart Mr.Peeness is….
But also what can you say about the hard hitting and incisive questions that came his way….?
Here was an opportunity to try and shed some light on his murky past….
And he was treated with kid gloves.
Once again BBC Scotland pins its true colours to the mast….
Like the SFA, its a shameful organisation….that needs a drastic overhaul.
Forget EBT cheats who cant even compete fairly with part time Icelanders, Hector will be in touch with him.
However that was a very good Celtic performance last night against our fair rivals in the north east, it is evident our various crucial Celtic crocks are getting back to better fitness and form is improving. Having see Munchen on their own midden, and formidable though they are, we may be able to run them far closer with our own pool who have yet to peak. A wee shock victory would be the normal Celtic thing to do with the backing of the best fans in the world. Real football fans all over Europe and beyond will want to see this game knowing there will be entertainment on view whatever the score, and that is what the game is all about, its simply not about cheating, injuring skillful players, or bragging about obscene wages, its about glory achieved through bravery and merit.
That is an excellent comment, Frank, your last four lines a timely and inspiratinal reminder on the meaning of the genuine integrity at the heart of all sport, which so many folk seem to have currently forgotten in this climate of ego, fakery and spin.
Cheers, man, you epitomise the spirit of the mighty Lisbon Lions who inspired all Scotland to remember what even the smallest, and most denigrated, of us can achieve when we set our mind to it.
to sourness here we go to 10 in a row
Monti’s Ices is open…….Bowl anyone?
What’s the score with warbs and his ……emmm resignation it’s all went very quiet regarding his wrongful dismissal both in the smsm (surprise surprise) and the internet bampots.
There will be nae sniggerin’ Timmy !
Mr Souness seems to think that Scotland needs a strong rangers, WHY?….SERIOUSLY, WHY?…What benefit would it be when we have a strong Hibs, Aberdeen and others, Scottish football is in better shape from the demise of the Govan massive, can he not see that…New stands new grounds increased European participation by others outside Glasgow.
I hear and read often of a one horse race, and how valueless the SPFL is without the old and now dead gers, strange when the gers were cheating their way to equal Celtic’s 9 in a row there was no mention of such things…THE ARROGANCE to presume that Celtic are nothing without them, and that they need them to succeed says it all…
It has been said many times, when they waken up to the fact they are not Rangers FC, they do not have shifty tax dodging to pay players, the do not have a rich sugar bear, and they don’t have a line of credit from the bank, then they might cut their cloth accordingly and move beyond a lower mediocre footballing club who will never win the league again, AND their children will be Celtic supporters, their toys have already started to see the light, even if it is only in name…
If you were lucky enough to be listening to Radio Scotland before the game last night you would have heard Willie Miller commenting on Graham Souness. He absolutely tore him to shreds. His comments were that anything that had happened to Rangers was entirely their own fault. He also mentioned that he had managed Aberdeen at a time when RFC(IL) were spending money they did not have, while he had to stick to a budget. The implication being that Aberdeen had, effectively, been cheated. The majority of football fans know this already.
The comments of Willie Miller last night and throughout the season reflect his own integrity and disgust at the Rangers & Sevco antics, one of the few men in the game still to do so.
Sutton talks a big talk and comes out with some good stuff but he’s still staying on the wrong side of the broadcasters line whereas the good man, and true Scotland great, Willie Miller, is telling the unvarnished truth about what Rangers and the lowlife SMSM have done to our game over these past 3 decades.
And Willie is doing this while working for the loathsome Billy Boys’ BBC, whose own reporting on Scottish is now so biased it’s become impossible to even check out their Live Stream for matches, their recent denigrating of Celtic v Bayern being as blatant an example of their bias as that of the putrid Guardian’s from the same match.
Fair play, that man.
Timmy bear……
Ahhhhhhhaaaahha
BRILLIIANT
Maybees should have called it YOGI bear
Yabadabadooo ….
Tug tug tug sevvvvvco. Rangers
BBC churning out first class fannies as per. Phil do us ALL a favour and send him a signed copy of Downfall to educate this idiot. Tell him I said he’s a prick.
CcTop?
It seems there’s a never ending supply of EBT recipients that are churned out at regular intervals by BBC Scotland for some squirrel spotting whenever Sevco hit another speed bump.
Funnily enough, Souness’ rhetoric is very similar in tone to that that was often erroneously stated as fact by a certain fat intergalactic ex-host of Radio Scotlands “Your Call” phone-in show, where the less-than-jovial host would claim “Scottish football was dying/would’ve ended up like the Irish League if it weren’t for the Souness revolution.” It was utter bullshit then and it’s utter bullshit now, and I’m 100% sure the correlation between these two viewpoints is complete coincidence…
When are they going to add the rest of the numbers on castle greyskulls main stand ??? It reads Rangers 1872!!!! When are they going to add
-2012 -now known as sevco !!!
Got to be honest their kids will be Chelsea or other EPL club fans, they are that bitter
What can I say? A very satisfactory away day up north and a comedic evening on the south side. Mr. Souness you, sir, are a fud.
??????????????????????
Excellent assessment Phil,IF I had to pick one EBT recipient that has to to be dealt with severely and made an example of it would be ‘sourness.’He really is so far up his own rectum that I would take a great deal of pleasure,
SCHADENFREUD ya bams,in seeing him suffer,a very great deal.
Mr.D.Innes was indeed very truthful in his match review and that has to be commended,especially in today’s footballing climate where that is definitely not the norm.
Celtic cruised to three points and Dembele has made his case to start,with some gusto I may add,a pleasant problem for our glorious leader.
Saw both the sourness article and the Timmy Bear one also,I couldn’t bring myself to read his ignorant,liquidation denying BS,but did enjoy the Timmy one.My reasoning for not reading sourness article was that if I did,it would be stuck in my head all day and I cannot have that arrogant bastard anywhere near me far less rattling around inside my brain.
I hoped you cover the Timmy Bear one and we’d all get a laugh.
Expert timing.
Thanks,M?
Mr souness claims scottish football cant survive without a strong rangers “sevco” as there better known as now . But scottish fottball has survived from 2012 and probably prospered since the hate mob were put to bed dead n buried. So souness do us all a favour and piss off .
This is how it feels to be Celtic ?
