Breaking News: Moderators of online football forum to seek removal of Mackay-Stevens from CelticTV

Reports have surfaced that moderators of popular online Celtic messageboard Kerrydale Street are to petition CelticTV for the removal of Gary Mackay-Stevens from all promotional, and, where possible, live content.

Exactly why the 24 year old Celtic winger has attracted the ire of the aging group of authority figures is unclear, though our reporter has managed to locate and attend a venue where the misanthropic group were attending a social gathering.

The clique were said to have favoured the October bar on the top floor of Glasgow's prestigious Prince's Square as it offered them "the opportunity to look down on others", while enjoying a meal and refreshments.

Our source describes overhearing heated discussion on the subject of Mackay-Stevens, with the comments such as "too happy by far", "glee club", "needs brought down a notch" and "lets burst the wee carrots bubble", emanating from the table that would later remain tip-free.

There was a point during the meal when an overseas-based moderator appeared on a video call, it was unclear whether he was slurring his words or if the connection was poor, however his appraisal of Mackay-Stevens was in a similar vein, with the decipherable "sick of looking at Garys smug face on the Cellic website" drawing a number of "ayes" from the eremitic audience.

Later in the evening, as beverages were consumed, one of the group produced an iPhone from his pocket at described how he was going to "tell that **** Kenny McKay to make sure the wee ******* gets told where to go", to raucous approval of his now worse-for-wear companions. "Get him and his glakit coupin tae **** aff ma streams, man", was the response of another, who's daily airs and graces had now been ravaged by alcohol.

A terse statement is expected from the group in the following days.

Neither Mackay-Stevens or his agent could be contacted for comment.

Bolivia's football chief ordered jailed ahead of trial
Carlos Chavez is to be sent to one of Latin America's most violent prisons to prevent him fleeing ahead of graft trial.

Carlos Chavez is to be held in one of Latin America's most violent prisons ahead of his trial.

A Bolivian judge has ordered the president of the country's football federation to be held in one of Latin America's most violent prisons to prevent him from fleeing ahead of a trial over corruption charges, according to local media reports.

Carlos Chavez, who is also the treasurer of the South American Football Confederation, CONMEBOL, denies the charges.

Chavez was arrested on Friday over allegations that he diverted funds from a charity match.

The family of a fan, Kevin Beltran, who was killed by fireworks at an international match in the Bolivian city of Oruro in 2013, told Bolivian state news agency ABI they never received any money from a charity fund set up for him.

Ahead of his transfer scheduled for Wednesday to the Palmasola high-security prison in Santa Cruz, Chavez was being held by authorities in Sucre alongside Alberto Lozada, the secretary-general of the Bolivian Soccer Federation.

Lozada will be placed under house arrest.

Guards secure only the perimeter of the sprawling, maximum-security jail at Palmasola, while murderers and drug traffickers run its units, charging inmates for all aspects of their existence.l

Chavez intends to appeal the judge's decision to imprison him ahead of trial.

"I am to be held in Palmasola for preventive detention. This decision will be appealed by the 72-hour deadline. But this embarrassment (referring to his arrest) and trickery will be revealed as what I said a month and a half back; this is obviously a coup," the Reuters news agency in Sucre reported him as saying.

Ramiro Guerrero, the Bolivian attorney general, has said more than 40 people had testified so far in the course of the investigation, which began on June 1.

"This is a proceeding that makes no attack on the Bolivian soccer federation as a whole, which has the mission, according to its statutes, to promote the practice of soccer. Neither the public ministry nor the judicial ministry is intervening in matters directly relating to soccer," said Bolivian prosecutor Ivan Montellano.

The charges make no reference to the bribery scandal affecting FIFA, soccer's international governing body.

However, Guerrero has not ruled out broadening the investigation.

There were also fears that a dissident group had split to form their own forum called “The Celtic Way” in reaction to a comment by another moderator, Jim62.

On the note of the sevco thread, can see why it was closed, but amidst the nonsense there was often some valuable posts and information... And from my personal PoV it was all in one place which was easy to catch up on after not being on for a few days.

Secondly, removing the thread won't stop the insane posts from the mental posters... They'll just be appearing in multiple places now, which might be more of a pain to police. At least the shampooe was all in one easy to find place.

It's a mistake to delete it I reckon, a bit too far on the policing...

Meet the man collecting football shirts from all 209 FIFA countries

Joe Johnston has spent five years seeking out football shirts from each of the 209 FIFA member countries. With just eight shirts left to find, he tells The Scotsman about a global quest involving the Pope, a Mormon missionary and a five-figure sum of money. By Patrick McPartlin

Six federations, 209 countries, five years, one man. It sounds like the tagline to the latest blockbuster film, but it’s very much day-to-day life for Joe Johnston.

The University of Aberdeen library worker is coming to the end of a quest to collect a football shirt from each of the 209 FIFA member countries; a global hobby that started in the Granite City’s charity shops.

A football match was delayed at Oldham Athletic on Saturday after unwanted visitors swarmed around the goalposts.
A queen bee had attached herself to one of the posts, causing the penalty area to become hive of activity.
The referee suspended the start of the friendly with Blackburn Rovers until some beekeepers arrived.
The club tweeted: "The Bee team has just left the pitch", while Blackburn's twitter feed read: "Un-BEE-lievable scenes here."
A club spokesman said: "We are very grateful to the local bee society who arranged for a beekeeper to come along and clear the bees."
Rovers won the game 2-0.

Since the Sevco thread came to an untimely demise, I have mostly been studying philosophy.

Marx, I am convinced, would have admired the blog since it gave voice to the Proletariate. It exemplified the dualism that any healthy community should aspire to where the ideology informs the praxis and the praxis, in turn, informs the ideology. It was of course the enemy of pseudo-intellectualism, constantly exposing the deep seated insecurity of the neo-middle classes in their pursuit of acceptance by their perceived 'betters.' Oh from below!! Surely the criticism of being 'obsessed' - the very language of the enemy, said much about those who adopted it, to justify a callous act of intellectual discrimination. Critical awareness is their enemy too, it would seem.

Jung, it could be argued, would have found much for which to laud the Sevco thread. For therein could be found the dreams of many, laying bare their deepest longings for a more just society. Kierkegaard would have relished the thread's option for concrete human reality over abstract thinking, while not rejecting it completely, and the enlightening use of metaphor, irony and symbol. (I'm sure Marx would have taken him to task on this.) Perhaps, admittedly, all may have questioned the merits of the 'pun.'

But most of all, the Sevco thread was a goldmine of information on the psychology of human sexuality to be found in a section of Scottish (and Northern Irish) society. The designation of maternal prefixes to a large house (Fraud surely would have seen this as an indirect reference to the vagina), the choice of red cards to wave is certainly connected to female discharge and a primitive understanding of clean and unclean, and attempts to insert objects into holes in the mother house which do not actually exist!! (An in depth study of Electra and Oedipal complexes was there on the Sevco thread for all to read.) Yes, sometimes a cigar IS just a cigar. But sometimes it's a lot more. In its own way, the Sevco thread peeled back the layers and scraped away the defensive veneer of many.

The KDS moderators may think they have simply called time on a rather unkempt, crude and unpalatable, overcrowded bar room. But alas, I fear that they have closed the door on an important school of urban philosophy and smashed a mirror which was being held up to expose a nation to itself in a sometimes unfavourable light.

Jung was right when he said that self-reflection was amongst the most terrifying things known to mankind and that most people flee from it. Or shut it down.

Next week, instead of reading the Sevco thread, I shall mainly be studying zoology. I shall pay particular attention to the chapter on horses arses. Farewell for now to the artistes, poets, raconteurs and Bon Viveurs of the Sevco thread. You will be missed.

Strangely enough, I was thinking of that today when a prayer was said at the church I attend, "Oh God, without whom nothing has value....", and 'boing!' the ontogenetic ground of value and natural law disappeared in a puff of theological claptrap. Nietzsche would have turned in his cryogenic freezer!
