The Blue Room brief

Regular readers will be aware that the local media often needs direction from the Sevco High Command when it comes to matters Ibrox.

Bereft of a suitably dignified narrative, the chaps on the sports desk are stalled like waiting for a Windows update.

For the avoidance of doubt, the idea that they might indulge in journalism is just silly.

Last week, I was told of a quintessentially British interaction between a person on the building site that John Brown played for and young Master Bisgrove.

His ex-colleague congratulated him on his impeccable timing in getting the hell outa of Dodge, etc.

I’m told that the marketing guru communicated that he was on a very exclusive golf course at that very moment.

Apparently, it is the type of recreational environment frequented by billionaires, real ones,  not the kind that Mr. Jackson has imagined in the past.

So, the narrative is now straightforward, and the edict has been issued:

A big Bisgrove did it and ran away.

As I had previously suggested, the completion date for this hilarious excrement exhibition might well slip past September.

Right on cue, the month of October has now been introduced into the dignified discourse.

Indeed, without anything concrete to report, there is a chance that the whole story might go to RAAC and ruin.

In the absence of any adequate explanation all manner of theories have a habitable space.

Personally, I’m still rather fond of my extraterrestrial explanation.

However, a buddy today suggested something more ornithological might be the real cause of the delay in the Copland Stand.

When he said that, my mind was immediately drawn to the excellent 1992 novel by John Grisham.

However, my pal told me he wasn’t thinking of Pelecanus occidentalis.

Instead, he said that perhaps there was a bunch of Tits there.

Well, it’s a theory…

What I do know is that, for the first time ever, the destination of the Close Season Cup is now in doubt.

Usually it has pride of place next to the ceramics and that old bike.

Now, for the first time in Sevco’s twelve-year history, it might go elsewhere.

Indeed, it could all go tits up at Ibrox.

  1. BBC saying October at the earliest now. I’m starting to think they won’t play at Ibrox this coming season. Karma’s a bitch….

  2. “Excellent! Excellent.! Mr Smithers !” As Monty would say. This story could run and run Phil. Maybe even longer than THE MOUSE TRAP. There is a lot more to be uncovered from this archaeological dig, and you are the man to provide the information, and satirical hilarity. The clown in the daily returd , is his name Keef, Keeth, Keek. Or Keech. I think it must be the latter because he’s been writing shite for decades . He’s a SHILL for the hoons. Every story an exclusive. Journalist ? LOL,LOL😎😂🤔☘️☘️😁

  3. None of this makes sense?
    How many clubs ,have played with 2&3 stands ,whilst building works are ongoing. Whatever the issue, it’s sure not,a late steel delivery.

  4. Rangers playing some games away from Ibrox gives an unfair advantage to those teams they play. Surely if you’re playing Ross County at Murrayfield, you must play all away games at Murrayfield. Apologies if someone has brought this before but something doesn’t seem right here.

    • I believe some posted similar before with test case of St Mirren when their new ground wasnt ready in time to start the season they had to go back to old ground and play the first 1/4 of the season’s fixtures there so as same advantage for all opposition. This being said and a good case to show that ruling this is the rangers as rules dont apply to them.

  5. It must be getting into the realms of £1M per game to be away from home, stadium rent, loss of matchday revenue, advertising etc etc, that’s serious money for a business that can’t post a profit in a good year !

    If they are conservatively forecasting a £6-8M loss, that’s gotta have a huge impact in what meager transfer kitty they are working with !!

  6. Would have thought that any bad news at the “John Brown” construction/destruction site would have been leaked on voting day.
    For it not to be leaked can mean many things??
    Is it possible that the full scale of damage/repairs is yet to be fully known as further tests and investigations are needed as more and more ‘cash drain’ disasters are found.
    Or is the SRU playing hardball asking for a lot of dosh that horrifies the Ibrox board with zero/minus cash flow.
    Loving every minute, sup with the devil you get all you deserve.
    PS, the Holy Father, the unseen hand or silent enemies are plotting against them.

  7. Delays in steel deliveries, Palestine, Ukraine, bisgrove, houthis (don’t ask) maybe even the holy father is to blame. Anyone, everyone apart from the clowns at newco according to keef. Long may it continue HH

  8. I note that Sevco’s first ‘home’ game in the League is scheduled to be against Motherwell, aka the Steelmen. Must be a joke there somewhere.

  9. It was only a matter of time before the blame started to shift to the now departed Mr Bisgrove .
    As ever Keech Jackson of the ailing Daily Radar follow follows the new club narrative .
    I’m sure Mr Bissgrove will be laughing all the way to the bank as the new club fiasco flounders from calamity to calamity
    I wonder who will next to jump ship from HMS sevco .
    Man the lifeboats

  10. With all the noise, will it be Hamden (even though all the concerts are booked) or murrayfield for the home sevco games…Anyone estimate the cost of installation of var into Murrayfield? It’s not even getting a mention… not cheap I’d say.

  11. Their chances of retaining the Close Season Cup are as dead as the proverbial
    Norwegian Blue Parrot (Scandinavius caerulea)

    Hail and Hail again!
