Feeding the Elephant – The BBC's debt to Rangers
I write about this again as it was covered on a recent H&H podcast, not for the first time and I’m guessing not for the last time. The BBC's treatment of Rangers is a topic that crops up often because it’s always there, sitting in our front rooms like a 4 ton elephant. In summary, the BBC are still choosing to boycott Rangers and Ibrox because they prefer to back the tribal unprofessionalism of some of their staff. This was covered on Gersnet years ago and from the outside not much has changed - Rangers have valid concerns and the key people at Pacific Quay are quite comfortable to have Rangers excluded. A convenient and popular pariah for many.

Jim McLean - An Appreciation
Our last match of the 1983/84 season took place on the 14th of May away at Tannadice. I remember very little about the match itself other than the facts that Rangers won and that there was a rousing rendition of ‘Rangers are back, Rangers are back’ from the away support situated under the old covered terrace along Sandeman Street.

The Paisley Road to Glory
Why was I eating an entire quarter of watermelon at midnight on Monday? Because it was either that or it went in the bin. Why, rather than salad and veg, does my crisper currently contain a family sized strawberry trifle, a bottle of Pinot, some runny cheese and a box of After Eights? Because there’s only so much fridge space and there’s only so much shopping time. Multiply by projected increases in appetite, subtract your sell-by dates and filling your face at Christmas is a tactical nightmare.

Compensatory Control; Beware Of The Slip - Rangers v Motherwell
For decades psychologists have studied why humans are reluctant to accept randomness as simply part of life, instead are inclined to believe that we can, at least to some extent, predict, influence, and control the world around us. Of course there are many, many aspects of life we can influence and control, but there are just as many we can’t, so we create mechanisms to deal with these. For millennia different societies have reacted to low or reduced personal control by strongly endorsing a belief in the existence and influence of external controlling powers. These feelings manifest themselves in many ways. The Aztecs made human sacrifices in the hope they would prevent earthquakes. The ancient Greeks built shrines to their gods in their homes, convinced that their gods would be angry and punish them if they didn’t. Today, you probably know someone who believes 9/11 was staged or who is convinced Covid is a hoax and vaccines are a scam perpetrated by ‘big pharma’. Psychologists believe that when randomness imposes itself on our lives we react by reintroducing order as we best understand it. This can manifest itself as simple superstitions, rituals or global conspiracy theories that draw us in. For some it’s easier to believe they are being threatened by evil scientists than by a naturally mutating virus they can neither control nor see. This is called compensatory control.
