    Wait, i don't get this latest blog entry...

    ...why do we, or Leggo for that matter, give a toss where and when Spiers next writes and who it is for? I can't fathom how someone who writes a mincey consipracy drenched blog by the day, can slate another journalist for their workload, be it Radio Clyde or the fact he took 8 weeks off, shortened it to 6 then amended it to 12. How the **** does that affect any of us in any way whatsoever!?!? ******* astounding that people even give this muppet credence.

    AP above is right: it can only be a mental illness.

    It's obviously an "I should be doing that job" complex. if you were not rolling about steamin' on a pish stained mattress you may be doing so Leggo...good God your biased views have never precluded anyone from a job in Scottish football journalism before. I'm warming to Davey boy just hope he get's back on to naming names ("Peter Piper", "Fidel Castro")?

    DIARMID O'HARA AND BBC SCOTLAND

    HIGH level BBC bosses based in London are starting to express their concern as to the way their colleagues at BBC Scotland are treating Rangers.


    I can reveal that the recent run of stories slanted against Rangers by the Diarmid O’Hara led staff at BBC Scotland’s Reporting Scotland flagship programme has been brought to the attention of BBC management at a senior level in London.


    A number of senior level Scots at the BBC in London have been keeping tabs on the way they believe the Reporting Scotland editor Diarmid O’Hara sets what appears to many to be an anti Rangers agenda.


    This is particularly true about the way Diarmid O’Hara seems to indulge BBC Scotland’ investigative reporter, Mark Daly. This includes sending Daly on an expensive licence fee payers funded junket to Monte Carlo for the sole purpose of being filmed, standing in front of the harbour there delivering a piece to camera relating to their probe into Ibrox owner Craig Whyte.


    But concern about what some in London regard as what looks to many like a vendetta against Rangers by Diarmid O’Hara and his Reporting Scotland, were further triggered by the way their most recent attack on Whyte and Rangers was handled.


    The item made the lead story on Reporting Scotland was then touched on again at the start of the sports news slot in the programme. Then, on Newsnight Scotland, the Mark Daly report which had been aired on Reporting Scotland was repeated again, this time with a background of sinister sounding music.


    There then followed a studio bound interview of Mark Daly, conducted by anchor Glen Campbell, which revealed nothing new and appeared as simply a device to extend the item.


    I know of at least one London based Scot who has a senior management post who has been watching events at BBC Scotland closely and who, after speaking to another experienced expat, has now compiled his own report, featuring not only the Mark Daly reports, but also the many times and ways which reporter Chris McLaughlin handles stories concerning Rangers.


    The most recent was when he clearly displayed on camera the name “Hunskelper” on the Twitter responses he was using to crank up his story. Hun is a word which no less an authority that the assistant chief constable of Strathclyde, Campbell Corrigan, has outlawed as sectarian.


    However, according to my high ranking London based BBC source, the man who pulls all the strings on Reporting Scotland and who has to be pandered to, is the man at the top, the editor of Reporting Scotland and all other BBC television news bulletins, Diarmid O’Hara.


    And he is a man who little is known of. In fact, it is not even known if he is Scottish or comes from elsewhere in the UK.


    Diarmid O’Hara has, as far as I can see, has only broken cover once. That was when he wrote a piece in the Scotsman whining about a dreadful journey back from a family holiday on Barra.


    In the piece Diarmid O’Hara told us that he is married, though not his wife’s name. He did tell us that he has three children, who he was happy to name in the Scotsman as Cormac, Sinead and Patrick, as they also had to endure a nightmare trip back from Barra.


    However, unlike many in the broadcasting industry, and that includes those who pull the strings, but do not appear on screen, Diarmid O’Hara is curiously reticent and is not to be found on Twitter or Facebook.


    He is a man who prefers to lurk in the shadows and do his work almost anonymously.


    And his work is deciding what stories are carried by Reporting Scotland, how they are treated and how often they are repeated. Which in the case of anything which shows Rangers in a bad light means over and over and over again.


    Even on another programme!


    It now remains to be seen if the men at the top of the BBC in London will deem the situation in their Scottish outpost as worthy of their attention.





    "Then, on Newsnight Scotland, the Mark Daly report which had been aired on Reporting Scotland was repeated again, this time with a background of sinister sounding music."
    Leggo at his mental best.

    "It now remains to be seen if the men at the top of the BBC in London will deem the situation in their Scottish outpost as worthy of their attention."
    Well, you started off by saying that HIGH level bosses are expressing concern. How can they do that without showing some attention ya gibbering ****wit?

    He's the gift that keeps on giving hahahaha. Honestly, he is a ******* rocket. Utterly out of his mind.

    Why do we need to know the details about Diarmid O'Hara, where he was born, what his wife's name is, or indeed to have the 3 name sof his kids told back to us? Leggo is honestly deranged.
    He writes utter tosh. The above non-story doesn't even go anywhere. They're either paying attention or they aren't, so which is it?

    I didn't realise that Assistant Chief Constables could pass laws as well as enforce them.

    Police state anyone?

    I said the same thing yesterday and Dev has hinted at it too but I'm beginning to think this bloke is purposefully doing this in order to have these people targeted.

    Don't forget, he posts this stuff on a number of Ranger's supporters-only websites, some of which are notorious for false accusations of racism and for stirring up hatred.

    Back on form Leggo!!! From "sinister forces" to "sinister music"!! Now he has the skinny on BBC bosses down south and what they think, it beggars belief that such a campainer for truth and transparency can not land himself a job as a humble football hack eh? The constant repetition of an Irish descent name is another of his classics!

    Does any one know Diarmid O'Hara's parents names. I think when you find out it will add to this conspiracy.

    Diarmid O' Hara's father is called Mr. O'hara and his mother is called Mrs o'Hara since her marriage to her husband Mr.O'Hare.

    It is plain to see all cannot be right with this man O'Hara, surely he shouldn't have the same name as his father. There has to be some plot.

    Just found this from May last year. Those that think he is trying to get names into the public domain aren't wrong. The nutter even admits it........

    BTW it's good to see that Rangers have tamed the BBC. Pffft.



    NICKY CAMPBELL has been forced into making a grovelling live on air apology to Rangers.

    Controversial Campbell was forced into a humiliating climbdown after Rangers demanded his BBC bosses discipline him for a slur on the club.

    Campbell had claimed on the BBC's Five Live Breakfast Show, that the man who is charged with assaulting Neil Lennon at the Hearts-Celtic game, may have been a Rangers fan, disguised as a Hearts supporter.

    That caused fury inside Ibrox and Campbell's boss, BBC editor, Scott Solder, was approached by Rangers demanding that he order a Campbell climbdown and an apology from him.

    The story broke on this blog on Friday night and it was followed up on the news pages of the News of the World on Sunday.

    Now comes the news that Rangers have won their first battle with the Beeb of the Craig Whyte era.

    What has also been made clear by this is that the days of the BBC - or anyone else - slurring Rangers with outrageous and totally unsubstantiated claims, are over.

    However, what has not been clear is just why Edinburgh born Campbell launched his low slur on Rangers.

    Was it just another example of how Rangers have been perceived by the Scottish Establishment as an easy target to kick around?

    Or was their something more sinister? Something, perhaps, in Nicky Campbell's DNA which prompted and motivated him to accuse Rangers when there was absolutely no evidence that anyone connected with the Ibrox club was involved in the attack on Lennon for which a Hearts supporter has been charged?

    A little digging on Campbell led me to Wikapedia, and the information contained there may help people come to a decision on what motivated Campbell.

    Campbell was adopted, but as is the case with many who grew up not knowing their genetic parents, in later life Campbell tried to find his real roots.

    According to Wikapedia, these roots revealed a family background of members of the IRA.

    The Wikapedia profile of Nicky Campbell claims that his biological father was a member of the IRA, as was his grandfather.

    It also alleges that a cousin was part of an IRA flying column who was killed by British forces at the height of the IRA bombing campaign in 1973.

    I must stress that there is no evidence to suggest, or indeed any suggestion in any of this, that Nicky Campbell has any connection with the IRA. Apart from family members of a family he never knew.

    Given the way Rangers are treated by BBC Scotland, it would be interesting to find out the DNA of the people who make the decisions there.

    Despite this blog highlighting the disparity in the news value judgements shown by the the decision makers, they were at it again last night.

    The news that former Rangers vice chairman Donald FindlayQC had been targeted with a suspicious device in the post was relegated to a 10 SECONd clip in Reporting Scotland "other news" wrap up.

    This did not compare to the treatment they gave when the news first broke of a similar suspicious device having been sent to Lennon. At that time the device, like the one sent to Findlay QC, was deemed harmless.

    BBC Scotland however gave it the full treatment on Reporting Scotland, unlike the dismissive way they handled the similar tale involving Findlay QC.

    Research has already started to unmask the names behind the headlines - and lack of headlines - within BBC Scotland's Clydeside headquarters.

    And after their names are placed in the public domain, there will be further research into them.

    For now, Rangers have claimed their first BBC victim, in the form of one of their biggest names, Nicky Campbell.

    That is another sign - following Labour being kicked out on their backsides at the Scottish Election - that the people of Scotland have had enough, and just won't take it any more.

    CELTIC CIVIL WAR
    CELTIC supporters now seem to have taken to fighting among themselves over the Green Brigade&#8217;s anthems of hate.

    And police in Inverness are following a line of enquiry that this is what led to a Celtic supporter being slashed in the face with a knife in the away stand when Celtic were there for a Scottish Cup tie last Saturday.

    One police theory is believed to be that the victim took exception to the bellowing of IRA songs and chants by the large and loud Celtic support which invaded the Highland capital.

    Certainly the early kick off did not stop Celtic supporters turning up at the stadium, drunk.

    In fact one drunk was refused entry and then had to be dealt with by the courts after he spat on the Inverness Caley Thistle steward who barred his way.

    And there was also the full repertoire of songs and chants in support for the IRA terrorist murders, especially prominent, the Boys of the Old Brigade which paints an utterly false heroic picture of an IRA flying column which went on an ethnic cleansing pogrom in the Free State in the early 1920s.

    But the incidents in Inverness were just the latest from a Celtic support which seems to believe it can get away with anything. Strathclyde police are still looking for the two Celtic fans who attacked a youth on a train after he remonstrated with them over their IRA singing.

    This may well turn out to be another outbreak of the civil war which may have led to the Celtic supporter being attacked in the Celtic stand at Inverness.

    For there are Celtic supporters out there who want the IRA terror songs to stop shaming he club. They are a growing band and they have started speaking out against the IRA men, particularly at away games when the anthems of hate are at their loudest.

    This is what some believe led to the knife attack in the Celtic stand at Inverness.

    And perhaps that was what lay behind the strange statement from the head man in the Official Celtic Supporters&#8217; Association, Joe O&#8217;Rourke, ahead of Celtic&#8217;s trip to play Hearts at Tynecastle last night.

    O&#8217;Rourke claimed that he had information that non Celtic fans had got their hands on tickets for the Celtic stand and were planning to sing IRA songs to get Celtic into trouble and also provoke a disturbance.

    It was interesting to note that this unprecedented statement came from O&#8217;Rourke and not from Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and that it was made a few days after a Celtic supporter had been attacked in the Celtic stand at Inverness.

    As it was, those away supporters got a clear view of a ball which crossed the Celtic goal line, but which did not result in a goal being awarded to Hearts.

    That&#8217;s the second time that has happened this season, the first was when Rangers were denied a clear goal during the Old Firm game at Parkhead just before New Year.

    Just imagine the outcry &#8211; not to mention the potential for trouble among the IRA supporters &#8211; had that happened the other way around.

    But according to Joe O&#8217;Rourke, any trouble would have all been caused, not by some IRA flying column in the Celtic stand, but by anti Celtic fifth columnists. Maybe he will now try to claim they are the same one who caused the violence in Inverness and belted out all the IRA anthems in Inverness and Edinburgh.

    &#8230;&#8230;..AND&#8230;&#8230;

    MY highlighting of Diarmid O&#8217;Hara, the man who rules the Reporting Scotland roost, has certainly put the cat among the pigeons.

    And seen a number of low level operators in a number of BBC offices north and south of Hadrian&#8217;s Wall, pass on more information about him.

    A number of people have commented on my use of nhis childrens' names. This is something I considered long and hard.

    However, Diarmid O'Hara was willing to name them in a piece he wrote for the Scotsman, therefore it was their father who put their names in the public domain in a national newspaper read by over 100,000 people.

    It was also noticeable that Diarmid O&#8217;Hara&#8217;s favourite holiday retreat, the Isle of Barra, figured so prominently on Reporting Scotland last night, on the very day when I mentioned his love of it.

    There will be more on the extremely powerful and highly influential Diarmid O&#8217;Hara soon.

    HERE!

    SOON!


    Interesting that he is up to date with anything he can through at Celtic, yet during last weeks expose about the people responsible for Rangers demise, he chose to ignore the latest points made about Whyte.

    I've commented on the one from last May before - DNA <laugh> Auld **** believes in a eugenically selected media, it seems.

    The statement by O'Rourke never mentioned songs - didn't even hint at it.

    ...and now he's defending naming people's children when the other inhabitants of his bile have received explosives <applause> well played ya filthy **** <applause>

    Add to that, the usual mis-information about history and a new tact - singling out the only non-wee-free Western Isle.

    He is a ****ing spastic - I'm beginning to think he deserves a taste of his own pish stained medicine.


    P.S How sick do you think the **** was when Broony was givin' it large to the Gorgie end? <laugh>
