I think most people know that. It’s just seems that you try overly hard in every post to emphasise it. |

Maybe it is because for a few months on here he was constantly hounded by some on here who tried to out him as a hun, so perhaps he feels the need to overcompensate, thus when he does overcompensate the same posters seem to try and suggest that he is overcompensating to hide the fact that he is a hun! Some guys on here are like a dug wi a bone! |

I've got to say, I listen now and again to clyde and after about 10 minutes or so (the most I can usually stomach), I switch off and conclude that they are all hun carrots - maybe I should listen to the whole 2 hours of ear bleeding nonsense before I form an opinion? |

Not sure why you are asking me. I have no opinion on Clyde listening duration. Do what you like. |

Does it really matter what a deluded press pack say about the new Jerusalem down Govan way? We all know the truth and they can't change it. Why get steamed up?

I think this is it, I have copied it from The Scottish Football Monitor site . Like many other people in Scottish football I shudder slightly when Dave King has the temerity to urge “transparency” from anyone. From bodies such as SARS, the revenues service in South Africa, to our own Takeover Panel, there have been quite a few people down the years who would testify to “transparency” rarely having been one of Mr King’s sworn life rules. The Rangers chairman has proved a ducker and diver on various fronts. So, when King suddenly makes the clarion call for “transparency” this week from the Scottish Professional Football League, Rangers fans will just have to put up with people sniggering at the mere suggestion. From King, of all people, that takes quite a nerve. Nonetheless, in the case of Murdoch MacLennan’s position as chairman of the SPFL, and King’s objections to it, I think King and Rangers have a point. Given his various business positions, I don’t think MacLennan’s role in Scottish football looks good at all. Indeed, it looks potentially compromised. It looks decidedly weighted in favour of Celtic — I am talking here of perception — and until this suspicion can be clarified, King, I believe, will have a right to harp on about it. There is a potential conflict of interest regarding MacLennan’s role as chairman of the SPFLSNSThe nub of this is now well-known. MacLennan, at the same time as being the current SPFL chairman, is also chairman of Independent News and Media PLC, the vast Irish publishing group. Dermot Desmond, a substantial shareholder in Celtic, is the second-biggest stakeholder in INM, and Denis O’Brien, also a Celtic shareholder, is INM’s largest stakeholder. The question here, given these overlapping business roles of MacLennan, Desmond and O’Brien, is whether this raises a conflict of interest for MacLennan. Does his INM role bring him into contact with either Desmond or O’Brien? Do these men have business or social relationships? Is there a natural empathy between MacLennan and Desmond, via INM, which a club like Rangers might feel is unhealthy in terms of a strictly impartial running of Scottish football? I have to say if I were in King’s shoes I’d feel a bit suspicious. I’d find it inconceivable that MacLennan, given his INM connections with Desmond, was either strictly impartial or not somehow swayed. Nor has it helped that MacLennan, in some public prints, has been shown traditionally to have far more affection for Celtic than Rangers. These days many Rangers fans are on the war path, searching for conspiracies against their club. So for a guy like King, looking to show some fervour for his cause, this MacLennan episode only adds fuel to his fire. People who have lampooned King for his various statements this week have been quick to point out that decidedly Rangers-minded people have recently held senior and allegedly impartial posts in Scottish football. Gordon Smith, a former Rangers player and head of football, and a Rangers fan, has been the Scottish FA’s chief executive. Campbell Ogilvie, for 27 years a Rangers secretary or director, and an EBT recipient, was the SFA president. Were these two figures held to be “impartial” when it came to dealing with the issues of the day facing Scottish football? Who knows, but many were unhappy at such appointments. This MacLennan issue is a burden the SPFL could do without. You cannot have a public suspicion like this hanging over such an important post. In his objections, King’s seeming double standards might look laughable, but that doesn’t take away from the point he is raising. If it is shown, through their INM connections, that Desmond and MacLennan have a relationship, then there is a potential conflict of interest case which needs to be nailed. MacLennan, the great man of silence at the SPFL, needs to come out, defend himself, and show that there is no merit in Rangers’ suspicions. . Edited by greenmachine, 5 Jun 2018, 12:22 PM.

Scouring the web for Spiers' articles on the conflicts of interest caused by Gordon Smith as SFA Chief Executive, Campbell EBT Ogilvie as SFA President and Andrew 'Overdue Payables' Dickson as Governance Committee and SFA Congress member. Or even the EBT afforded to Souness when he worked for another club elsewhere in the UK. In some Twitter responses over the last couple of days all Spiers appears to have offered is his stock in trade "I've spoken to them, they are good guys" chat. Not credible. As a journalist, there is more in this story for someone like Spiers if MacLennan unnecessarily spoke out about any of this nonsense. He's compromised by this fact alone. |

So, let me have my wee rant about the BBC like many of the other posters on here do with impunity.
