I'm not going to get into the debate as to what team the OP really supports but as Stornoway Blue has advised I have googled. Please read for the answer to your question.

A Sneaky Man

Posted on September 7, 2012by billmcmurdo

I vividly remember the tears running down my mother’s face, standing at the kitchen sink, as news came through of the Ibrox Disaster on 2nd January 1971.

I remember the dark days that followed, days full of horror and gut-wrenching grief as a country mourned.

This grief and shock was felt keenly by all involved with Celtic, as much as Rangers.

The whole world saw the Old Firm united more than they had ever been in history.

I was not yet seven years old.

Even today, when I play fervent Celtic man Matt McGinn’s song on the Ibrox Disaster, I am left weeping.

You do not mess with any Rangers fan when it comes to the Ibrox Disaster.

When I first read Alex Thomson’s comments on Rangers fans being Daleks, it was actually prior to David Leggat’s blog on the matter. I knew right away, despite Thomson’s subsequent protestations, that he was having a dig at Rangers fans in the odd little section on his Twitter timeline.

Twitter is a strange place because you are holding multiple conversations at once most of the time, while many others are watching on and can chip in.

Thomson compared a Rangers fan to a wasp and this fan, probably jokingly, told Thomson that was probably not the best word to use – given its connotations, no doubt. Thomson used the strange term Daleks in the middle of a conversation with Celtic fans about wasps, comparing them.

In a nutshell, it was obvious that they were not talking about wasps and Daleks – a conclusion reached by many who have read the feed, including David Leggat and my editor at CRO, who ran my piece on the Dalek jibe.

To be entirely honest, I was unaware of the meaning of the Dalek term until it was pointed out to me by a source that this was one of Alex Thomson’s blog-writing Celtic chums sick joke about the Ibrox Disaster i.e. Daleks can’t climb stairs.

After further investigation and verification that this was a term used to mock the terrible tragedy that took place on Stairway 13, I decided to write the piece.

I am aware that certain people in the Rangers ranks who were cosying up to Alex Thomson weren’t happy.

Well, I don’t write this blog or any other for their benefit.

It appears to me that there is a fair amount in the ranks of the Rangers support who bluster but have no stomach for the dirty war that is being waged against the club and its fans. That’s for them to deal with.

Alex Thomson maintains he was just talking about wasps and Daleks and wasps that talk like Daleks. This is a man employed by Channel 4 to go to war zones and report on serious issues. Maybe they ought to check him for shell shock.

Mr Thomson’s credibility has been torn to shreds several times recently by several national newspapers who question his veracity and his judgment. In addition, he has been outspoken in his criticism of the Scottish media pack.

His arrogance is evident just by reading his Twitter account.

His anti-Rangers attitude and cosy relationships with known Rangers-haters have enraged legions of Rangers fans.

Quite frankly, he is just a sneaky mischief-maker, intent on winding up Rangers fans and turning them against the club and each other.

Just like his pal with several names.

Alex Thomson is a what you would call an old-fashioned baiter. And he is very good at it.

So good you could say that he is a master baiter.

I try to be reasonable in my blogging.

But, like many Rangers fans, I am touchy about that terrible day when 66 people lost their lives on Stairway 13.

Only the sickest of minds would find anything funny in the Ibrox Disaster.

If Alex Thomson really was just talking nonsense with no malice or ill-intent, then I would happily apologise for my piece.

However, he does himself no favours with his sneering, sneaky attitude to Rangers FC and its supporters.

Edit - Bill, if you're on here, out your huff and don't appreciate my copy and paste job then PM me and I will remove it. After some of your more recent blogs however I would advise you read it first before PM'ing me.

I can't belive this is the same Bill McMurdo that was so tame in putting his questions towards Thomson and giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Jaime0202 - thank you.

Email on the way then to Mr Thomson. Whilst he tried to get away from the retweet of the statue mini vid, he cannot get away with this.

My comments to him may mean nothing, but they'll keep on being sent until he replies.

Jack1690 - probably better we do never meet. It will only lead to trouble given your outbursts.

He may have been "tame" but he did ask him about it and he did explain, not a lot more he could do on that point but there were others
