No wonder The Peeppul are a confused, angry bunch. One minute they’re being patted on the head, the next they’re being condemned. They like to sing about guarding Old Derry’s Walls, but even then, after initially being thanked, they were then treated like shit for two centuries by the Anglican Establishment. Now it’s happening again. […]

Clumps yesterday had a piss-take on his blog, ironically praising Warbs and his team for beating Stranraer and progressing in the League Cup. It’s a funny piece but, reading it, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry, as it wouldn’t look out of place at all in a Scottish newspaper. Meanwhile, the Daily Record […]

If you were able to get your hands on a Scottish newspaper from the end of the Nineteenth Century and turned to the back pages, you’d no doubt read about how Scottish football was going downhill and how radical changes were needed. Back then, however, it wouldn’t be about the SFA not doing its job […]

If you’ve ever watched the old Star Trek series or the movies, you’ll know all about the ‘Prime Directive’. This was the law that members of the Federation shouldn’t interfere in other cultures, no matter how wrong those cultures might seem. The USS Enterprise, though, didn’t seem to bother about this ‘Prime Directive’ too much. […]

I couldn’t believe it when I read that the racist old bastard that threatened to kill a wee boy because he was a Muslim has walked out of court with nothing more than an order to pay £400 to his victims. As the boy’s uncle said, if he, or any other Muslim, carried on like […]

After all the furore about the Russian doping scandal, there are calls for Russia to be banned from the Rio Olympics. (Though some athletes might see that as a blessing, given the scare stories about the Zika virus.) Some folk are arguing that cheating goes on in all sports, and they’re perfectly correct. It wouldn’t […]

Warbs is only back five minutes and he’s complaining already. After taking a long holiday that even a teacher would envy, he’s moaning that he, and his team, haven’t had much of a break. Well, it’s not so much the break he’s greeting about; it’s the fact that they’ve only had time to play one […]

Well, I don’t like to say I told you so, but I told you so. I couldn’t believe the outcry against Ronny Deila last season and, as I said in Rattus Agnivoricus, it was the players, not the manager to blame. The readiness of everybody to blame Deila gave the players carte blanche to piss […]

If you’ve been reading Rattus Agnivoricus, you’ll know that I sent a FOI request to Police Scotland and that I’d let you know the outcome when I got a reply. Well, it has arrived. I was inspired to send this request after a story on Vanguard Bears, where they contacted the police with a FOI […]

Not to be outdone by Celtic, Dave King has decided to introduce a safe-standing area at Ibrox, starting this coming season. Concrete plinths are already being installed at strategic locations, where, for an extra fee on top of the usual entrance or season-ticket money, members of The Peeppul can stand and get a better view […]
