Brain McNally Muzzled....Well done Leggo

[AlCapone 7,678]

And the Vb's and all other who tweeted about this mans bhitter ramblings.

It still puzzles me when the not so bright on here slag off Leggo, yeah hes not always right, sometimes very wrong BUT he is on our side and by god we should be thankful for that in our fight against our bhitter enemies. Divide and conquer....galling when some bears do our enemies work on the dividing!

McNALLY MUZZLED BY HIS MIRROR BOSSES

ANYONE keen to learn what Brian Patrick McNally has had to say about Rangers so-successful £22.2m share issue, won’t discover the Sunday Mirror man’s rancid views on his official Mirror Newspapers Twitter account.

Funny, that.

And Rangers supporters who were disappointed at the fact there was no mention made by Brian Patrick McNally of the superb response from blue chip investors from the City and rank and file fans, and who wondered why, need wonder no more.

For I can now reveal that Brian Patrick McNally has been muzzled on matters Rangers by the top level of his management bosses inside Mirror Group Newspapers Canary Wharf citadel in London.

I have been probing rabid Celtic fan and Rangers hater McNally’s sudden silence on all matters Rangers since he was ordered by his bosses to take to his Official Mirror Newspapers Twitter account and issue a grovelling apology for his wild lie and slur that Rangers supporters were singing the so-called Famine Song when they followed Rangers for the match against Clyde.

What Rangers fans were in fact singing, was the wonderfully evocative and romantic song about the Gallant Pioneers, Four Men Had A Dream.

And last night my investigation struck gold when one of the biggest names on Fleet Street, before his recent retirement, got in touch to tell me one his is old Mirror mates had told him the Brian Patrick McNally story.

It goes like this. When the men on the management floor – that’s a few floors higher than the editorial floor – in Canary Wharf, were made aware of the Famine Song slur, when they learned of Brian Patrick Mcnally’s lie about Rangers supporters, published under the banner of Mirror Newspapers, they were furious.

McNally was ordered to make a full apology. And then some.

For he was also told in no uncertain terms that he should desist forthwith from Tweeting about Rangers. And the evidence is there. For when he Tweeted his humiliating climb down of an apology on November 20^th for the lie he had published under the Mirror Newspapers banner, it was his last Tweet about Rangers.

Since then on all matters concerning Rangers there has been nothing but the Silence of the Bam on Sunday Mirror sportswriter Brian Patrick McNally’s Official Mirror Newspapers Twitter account.

And there is more. For his fellow Glaswegian-born hater of all things Rangers, Philmacgiollabhain, has also disappeared from Brian Patrick McNally’s official Mirror Newspapers Twitter account.

Peculiar, that, don’t you think? A coincidence? Or, perhaps Brian Patrick McNally was told to disassociate himself publicly from Philmacgiollabhain and perhaps he may now view that as a form of censorship imposed on him by his Mirror Group employers and perhaps he may even call in Philmacgiollabhain and the National Union of Journalists to fight his cause. He may even have spoken to another arch Rangers hater, Philmacgiollabhain's ally and Donegal neighbour, Roy Greenslade, a well known defender of the IRA.

For the moment, those logging in to view what Brian Patrick McNally has to say on his official Mirror Newspapers Twitter account, now that he has been muzzled from commenting on Rangers by the big bosses inside Canary Wharf, are in for a treat.

Why, as recently as Tuesday evening he was breaking a big story. Apparently a dog was lost in Dorchester Avenue in Glasgow’s West End.

Whether or not it was a Bluenose dog, Brian Patrick McNally, muzzled on matters Rangers by his Mirror Group Newspapers bosses, was too frightened to tell us.

Woof! Woof!

Divide and conquer....galling when some bears do our enemies work on the dividing!

That's a wee bit of a divisive comment...

...Good read though. Silence of the Bam.

[TheLawMan 6,240]

It still puzzles me when the not so bright on here slag off Leggo,

Here's why:

"WHYTE ERA ARRIVES

CRAIG Whyte has done more than merely confound his critics by showing he is the real deal.

He has also displayed the sort of tough technique in talks which he will surely be able to use for the good of Rangers in the fututre.

WHYTE has got what he wanted, and made his dream of owning the club he supported as a boy come true, for just a quid.

At the moment, with the country skint and deep in Labour led debt, what Whyte has done is join the stampede of savvy shoppers to Poundland.

He has squeezed and squeezed, and then squeezed a bit more, and the result is there should be more money available for Rangers.

Remember, when Sir David Murray first put Rangers up for sale three years ago the asking price was in the region of £40M

When Whyte entered the scene a figure of around £20M started being quoted, and as recently as a couple of weeks ago it had dropped to Murray getting back the original £6M he paid for Rangers in 1988.

That Whyte ended pocketing the title deeds for Rangers, Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park for a quid tells us one thing. Do NOT play poker with this man.

However, such has been the length of time the talks have gone on, and such has been the amount of muckraking and mud hurled at Whyte, that there are many Rangers supporters who still doubt Whyte.

They though, will soon be won over if the new owner gets together quickly with manager-elect, Ally McCoist and lets him loose in the transfer market.

A couple of quick singings would soon dispel much of the doubts.

And such a move would also have the spin-off of boosting season ticket sales, which have dropped by 6,000 during the last two uncertain years.

Then there's Lloyds Bank. The very people who have been squeezing the lifeblood out of Rangers in a way that has led to their motives being questioned by many.

Part of the Whyte deal included a pledge he would pay off the club's debt to Lloyds.

When that is done, then all Whyte has to do to sent his approval ratings soaring among the Rangers support, is show Lloyds and the bank's man on the Rangers board, Donald Muir, the Ibrox door.

Maybe he could even restort to the language of the people....

PICK A WINDAE. YOU'RE LEAVING!

Of course there are still those who will attempt to pour cold water on the future of Rangers.

There's talk of anything up to £12M being needed to avoid Ibrox falling foul of Health and Safety regulations.

Of course The Stadium could do with a lick of paint and a look at the plumbing. But short of a full re-wiring job, it is hard to see where such an extraordinary figure comes from.

Equally, of course, there are many in the media who will stop at nothing to undermine Rangers, some with more subtle style than others.

This is something Craig Whyte will have to confront head-on in a much more aggressive way than Murray ever did.

If the new owner shows similar tough tactics in this area as he did in the negotiations which landed him Rangers for a quid, then that too would find favour with fans.

He should beware of smarm and charm - in particular from Odious Creep who will seek to worm his way in.

There are plenty of people within Ibrox who know the score in this area, and who can advise Whyte on the way forward, in order that Rangers no longer present an easy target to their many enemies.

Confounding the enemies of Rangers should be one of the first tasks for Craig Whyte now that he has confounded his critics."

"GREEN BIDS TO FOOL FANS BY PLAYING THE BIGOT CARD

IF Charles Green did not exist it would be hard for any spinner of fictional yarns to invent such a character.

For Charles Green, the oft proven liar, is beyond belief.

But he nothing if not predictable. It is just over a week since I pointed out Charles Green had started to circle his wagons and create a bogey man for Rangers supporters to focus their hate on.

At the time Charles Green settled on an easy target when he picked on Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan, a man who appears to have a clear agenda against Rangers.

If his clap-happy performance at Brechin, lacking in class and dignity, is anything to go by, he is now taking his tactic to a new low rabble rousing level.

My warning to Rangers fans was that they would be mugs to fall for the same three card trick, the same playing to their prejudices, for a second successive season.

For I pointed out that all Charles Green was doing was the same as Craig Whyte did when he lined up BBC Scotland as another easy target for supporters to hate, thus diverting their attention away from the way he was going about raping Rangers.

The result was that ace conman Craig Whyte got a way with it, with the consequences for Rangers and their fans, being administration, liquidation, demotion to the Third Division, a whopping SFA fine and an 18-month-long transfer embargo.

Perhaps the success of that Craig Whyte ploy was in Charles Green’s mind even before the game at Brechin when he let rip, pressing to nuclear button for Rangers fans by citing bigotry as one of the reasons when the SPL and SFA have come down to so hard on Rangers.

Or perhaps Charles Green’s advisors set him up to say it. After all, Charles Green has the same advisors Craig Whyte had when he unleashed his tirade against BBC Scotland.

Though those same advisors must have been in despair when Charles Green responded to the chant from Rangers fans of "If you hate Stewart Regan clap your hands," by doing just that.

Or perhaps Charles Green is a regular reader here and took his information about the SFA and SPL from this slot.

Though I have to say I cannot ever recall ever claiming, as Charles Green did, that while some of what has happened to Rangers was driven by bigotry, some of it has been driven by jealousy and some it has been driven by all the wrong reasons.

The reason that has never appeared here is simple. It is mumbo jumbo, as much of what spews from Charles Green’s mouth, when he is not telling lies, is.

That bit at the end, for instance, about some of it having been driven by all the wrong reasons, implies that bigotry and jealousy are not all the wrong reasons.

But let’s leave that aside for the moment.

Returning to Charles Green’s increasingly desperate moves to try and get supporters on his side in the week when he is going to launch a plea for them to buy season tickets, his bigoted broadside may have carried more weight had it not been handed on an exclusive plate to arch Rangers hater and rabid Celtic fan, BBC Scotland’s Chris “Scrote” McLaughlin.

BBC Scotland in general is loathed by Rangers supporters, with Chris "Scrote" McLaughlin a particular hate figure.

A wee mistake there Charlie.

Another wee blunder is in Charles Green having taken over a month to be able to pinpoint what every Rangers supporter knows and has been reading about here and talking about everywhere.

Simply, that there are a lot of hateful bigots out there in some of Scotland’s darkest places – Parkhead, Pittodrie, Easter Road and Tannadice in particular – and the evil which festers inside these cesspools has spewed all over Rangers.

Rangers supporters do not need me to tell them that. And they certainly do not need any oft-times proven liar and snake oil salesman such as Charles Green to deliver his dodgy spiel as a prelude to him trying to fill the coffers of the faceless men who own Rangers with the hard earned cash of rank and file Rangers supporters.

Of course Rangers fans want to support their team and Brechin City have been the first to benefit from their diehard support with a full house on Sunday.

But supporting Rangers does not mean they have to buy season tickets and stuff the pockets of Charles Green and those faceless man who own Rangers, with their hard earned dough by buying those season tickets.

What is quite the thing for them to do and also the right thing for them to do, is buy match day tickets on a game-to-game basis.

In fact, there is no requirement for Third Division matches at Ibrox to be all ticket. With crowds of around 25,000 to 30,000 expected, there is no reason why Rangers cannot revert to the old ways of paying at the gate.

Of course that is not Charles Green’s way. No, Charles Green’s way is to try and tempt Rangers supporters to cough up cash in advance so he can prove to the faceless men who own Rangers that there is, after all, a fast buck to be made out of Rangers fans.

Which is why, once again, Charles Green is trying to take those Rangers fans for mugs by playing the bigot card in the hope it can work as well for him as turning on BBC Scotland did for Craig Whyte, who was then able to go about raping Rangers unhindered while supporters turned their attention elsewhere.

Of course, if what worked for Craig Whyte was to work for Charles Green, then some may say he was right in the manner of how he is trying to treat Rangers supporters.

Now, more than ever, Rangers fans must be on their guard. And not just against Stewart Regan, Neil Doncaster, Peter Lawwell, Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hibernian, the Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Premier League.

Rangers supporters must also be on their guard against another enemy. The enemy within.

His name is Charles Green."

[Guardian 4,281]

It seems those being called "not so bright" have more memory power than the OP.

Saying Leggo got some things wrong as a catch all to deflect shots is a bit like saying the Titanic got a bit damp, or Elvis got a bit dead.

We well remember Leggo's fauning over TBK and his disgraceful attacks on Charles Green.

This often wrong self serving twally was doing his best to destabilise the club when it was at its most vulnerable.

I also remember his shameful stringing along the fans about an upcoming revelation which turned out to be the release of his book. Using the news hungry fans worries for a publicity stunt says it all really.

When most of the rest of us were manning the battlements, Leggo and the RST were on the other side firing at us, before changing sides when they finally realised they were onto plums when their prophecies of doom didn't materialise.

They chunts could be italian FFS.
