On a read through the stories on Newsnow this morning there was an item that was linked there called "Is Craig Whyte our Lee Harvey Oswald?"
interesting...the idea that he took the fall for a 'higher power' then I saw that it was on Follow Follow...but thought it might be worth the read to see if a rangers fan - someone who cares deeply for his club - would have an insight into what was going on.
How wrong i was...
Spare yourselves the 10 minutes read and cut to the chase...after brief skirts over Whyte himself and a paragraph on David Murray we get to the crux of the argument:
"Could Celtic in some way be involved? We all know that they have contacts that stretch right to the very heart of the former government, and we know that a lot of those ministers and cabinet ministers have no love for Rangers. Could they have put pressure on HMRC to purse Rangers with an almost homicidal vengeance? We have all seen the recent hatred that has been smouldering away burst into flames in the hearts of the Celtic-minded; all you have to do is look into some of their eyes to see the rabid frenzy that has awoken. Remember this is a club that is run something akin to a cult, supporters groups within supporters groups, that are clearly more organised and politically aware, shady links to Irish Republican terrorist cells and left wing extremists. Is it too much to think that one of these groups has final snapped and taken a shot at Rangers? A manager that hates the Rangers so much that he could not find any decency in himself to be on the park to commemorate the sixty six lives lost in the Ibrox disaster.
Then we have their calls for Rangers to be stripped of titles. Believe me, the hate runs deep. Rangers and Celtic are a marriage no matter what anyone tells you, it may be an unhappy marriage but they have a history. Like a lot of mixed marriages in the west of Scotland, once hatred and jealousy appear then domestic violence is never very far away and the thought of going it alone was always on one of the clubs’ mind. The attraction, sometimes fatal, is still there. No one can deny this. Perhaps something inside our partner in football just snapped. Hate turns to obsession and we all know how obsessed they are about the Rangers. The thought of Rangers just breathing, let alone claiming four in a row, was certainly for some from the green side of this relationship too much to bear. "
Yip. Its not the years of mis-management, nor is it the fiscal prudance of a child in the sweet-shop, the EBT's the tax the deals or the stripping of the assets....its a massive Timmy conspiracy...

Exactly what i thought LMC. I thought it was a joke at first...some major internal government plot undertaken but Jason Bourne...erm John Reid...sorry.. but on.
This person actually believes this tripe.
If this is the way he is now the years ahead will be tough for this person..

There is a relation to that story headline, Celtic fans and JFK...
A lot of anger was bourne towards Rangers fans, from us Celts, when they disgraced a minutes silence for the GREAT man days after his death

Follow Follow is paranoia central.

Exchange Celtic supporters for Jews and this would look like something from a N@zi handbook.
" you can see the hate in their eyes."
Funnily enough, its not one bit surprising.

Dalriada Gael - Never thought of it like that.
It is actually like something that Adolf Hitler would have written after the treaty of Versailles. Blaming someone else for his own countries failings, then attacking them.
Much the same as that blog blaming someone else for his own clubs failings, then attacking them.
The comparisons between this guy and a n@zi is frightening.
Lets just hope to god there are two different outcomes of the two events
