Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Reviews of sporting books of 2012 including a few about Rangers, 'Is the baw burst - Vol. 1' looks quite good.The last review is interesting - a slaughtering of 3 names.http://www.scotsman....-2012-1-2693614 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigie79 67 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The sirens started to sound at the first of several references to Rangers supporters as “the Ibrox klan”. The author makes no attempt to disguise his hatred for Rangers, stating at one stage “please let this football club die”. And yet he yearns to be taken seriously as a journalist, repeatedly complaining that no-one from the mainstream media ever calls him. As the tale unravels, - The Failed Journalist starts to disappear up his own rear, declaring: “I am aware of my own contribution and I rather like the guy I see in the shaving mirror every morning.” These are two classic mistakes: believing you are the story, and wanting a story to be true. When it’s not.And the sun wanted to serialize that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking on Amazon for a couple of Rangers books my lad wants & checked out their 'reviews'Seems the tarriers have a tactic to give a 'Gers book a rating of 1 star, trash our book, then recommend either 3 Names' effort or one by Odious Creep!These guys are so 'on message' it's frightening!

whitey126 42 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Pretty scathing! Seems there are people in the media who can separate reality from fantasy!The Harold Davis book looks as though it could be a decent read though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 According to the book publisher, the book only contained 'around 40%' new material. The rest being a rehash of his blog. How much is 'around' 40%? Is it 35%, 33%?So, not just completely shite as identified by the Scotsman (and others) but also a rip-off. Excellent news.

He'll be well aware of the review and knows fine well that he's become a laughing-stock.I've banned myself from twitter, I just find myself sitting and abusing journalists.

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Here's what Keith Jackson wrote about it:Keith Jackson says:A book on Rangers by an exposed discredited bigot and Rangers hater, there is more truth in Santa and the elves working overtime to deliver for Christmas than in this book of drivel it should be sponsored by a toilet paper manufacturer as that's all it's fit for.Brilliant.
