A FRAGRANT SIGNING AT GOVAN GLADE

I know a lot of folk no longer read the Daily Record; and who can blame them? Me? I can’t get enough of it; well, the online version at any rate. I’m not stupid enough to pay to read it. It reminds me of when I, along with others, used to enjoy reading the Sunday […]

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

How did Scottish football ever manage without Warbs to fight its corner? His latest triumph in his quest to help the game in this country is in stopping foreign teams snapping up our players for a song. As soon as Warbs spoke up, teams all over Europe revised the way they look at Scottish football […]

JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS

Reading in the press about how the denizens of Edinburgh’s Old Town have to put up with orgies and sex parties around them would have your heart bleeding, were it not for the fact that the type of folk living there deserve all they get. In the mid-1980s, council tenants in the Grassmarket were decanted […]

COURTING THE PEEPPUL

If I were to take part in a football match, my poor level of fitness would soon show. I would run up the wing with the ball, clutching my chest and left arm, while nobody dares to tackle me for fear of being blamed for my obviously imminent demise. On reaching the opposition goal area […]

THE OLD OF THE BOYS BRIGADE

Remember how, when Rangers went down the pan in 2012, we all used to speculate what would stand where Ibrox now is? Was it going to be Asda (with changed colours), Tesco, Sainsbury or something more in keeping with the environs, like a Pound Shop? Well, we need wonder no more. When the second incarnation […]

THE BIG FEAR AND THE BIG FIGHT

Jabba and his Merry Men are playing a strange game at the moment. On the one hand, Honest Dave is being pilloried in the media for leaving Warbs high and dry; Neo-Gers need more money, is the cry. And yet, on the other hand, The Peeppul are being fed the line that Warbs’s latest Action […]

THE BIG FEAR

No sooner had 2017 got under way when the Scottish press suddenly felt the need to get all nostalgic about Rangers. We’ve had the 10th anniversary of Paul Le Guen being forced out of Ibrox, Ray Wilkins reminiscing about his time at Rangers and now Keith Jackson sitting down for a cup of tea and […]

URGES

Is there some kind of uprising going on at the Daily Record? That’s twice now there’s been articles detailing why signing Jon Toral would be a stupid idea. Meanwhile, they’re also running the Jabba-approved script, with Nacho Novo joining in, supposedly recommending to Toral that he joins Neo-Gers. The cat is let out of the […]

OBSESSED ABOUT THE OBSESSED

Obsessed. That’s what you constantly hear from The Peeppul. In fact, that charge would probably be levelled at me.  My excuse, however, is that I like a laugh. And, although there is plenty of joy at Celtic Park these days, there’s certainly nothing to laugh about; at Neo-Gers, on the other hand… Besides, if anyone’s […]

THE HEINOUS FLY TRAP

Happy New Year, everybody! The hurt of Saturday’s match has certainly gone deep and Jabba and his boys have been slaving away, handing out ‘news stories’ to make it look as if Neo-Gers are still relevant. They’re still peddling the old line that the gap between Neo-Gers and Celtic isn’t that big, and point to […]
