Ah so Richard Dawkins has finally exposed his true colours - 'tis an anti-Catholic stance that the privileged one reveals as opposed to an anti-religious one.
Either that or he should keep away from aspects of reality beyond his biological base.
Dawkins wrote on his website: "Hugh Dallas, head of referee development for the Scottish Football Association, has been sacked because he passed on, by email, a joke about the Pope.
"His dismissal was called for by a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland. This nasty little weasel is called Peter Kearney, Director of the Scottish Catholic Media Office.
"Similarly, the chief executive of the Scottish Football Association, responsible for this craven giving-in to Catholic censorship is Stewart Regan. The address of this coward is Scottish Football Association, Hampden Park, Glasgow."
Is our leading scientist (sic) calling for revenge against Kearney and Regan?
And why is religious bigotry and corruption on the Protestant side so neatly sidestepped by a man who claims holistic oversight?
Dawkins continues: "There is no reason to suppose that Dallas was being sectarian in forwarding the joke. Most plausibly he was as revolted as all decent people are by the Pope’s illegal protection of Catholic child-rapists."
Dallas?
Not sectarian??
How humourous is a don able to be???
Yet, on one level, he is surely correct.
It is outrageous that Hugh Dallas was sacked for merely making anti-Papist jests when, both throughout his refereeing and administrative careers, he has exhibited bias, undertaken corrupt activities and manipulated Scottish football for his Hun paymasters.
The other key aspect of this affair was, yet again, brought to our attention by Gerry Coogan.
His full epistle is given below but the reality would appear to be that the SPL, like the English Premier League, utilises television replays to enable the match officials to 'select' the 'correct' decisions to review to the proprietary benefit of bookmakers and the powers that be.
So video technology is neither open source nor to the benefit of a true outcome but merely an illegally used tool for proprietary advantage/manipulation/corruption.
Perhaps if his head wasn't so far up his own narcissistic backside, Dawkins might wish to consider this truth.
Anyway, time for the Man At The Window to update you (this was written two days ago and some information might no longer be valid).
"Dallas's sacking is such a significant development that I suppose it was inevitable that even the press would eventually find out.
"I yet haven't seen any of this weekend's MSM propaganda but I know that Dallas's business partner, Dougie McDonald, has also become yesterday's man, albeit six weeks too late to save the establishment from melt-down. Dallas and McDonald are business partners in a Spanish property venture. (Would you buy a second-hand villa from these men, Jose?)
There was no conflict of interest there, then, when Dallas was deciding whether to recommend to the referees' panel that the Category One Liar ought to be sacked. Not that there would have been much chance of the hearing giving DougieDougie a P45. It's not called the Referees Panel for nothing - all of its members, to a man, are either serving referees themselves or retired whistlers.
"But there remain unanswered questions over the Tannadice incident which lit the blue touchpaper. It is still not understood why McDonald changed his mind about awarding Celtic a penalty nor is it clear why he should have felt the need to lie about the process of reassessing his original decision. Neither his first version nor the subsequent amended version makes sense.
"There is a growing conviction amongst Celtic supporters that the real villain of the piece remains undetected.
"We are speaking here of John McKendrick, the fourth official on that day, who was watching the live TV broadcast on a monitor in front of him during the match. Hoops followers are of the opinion that McKendrick, rather than Stephen Craven, was the one who fed McDonald with an excuse to reverse the penalty award.
"If FIFA were aware that Category A match officials were making illegal use of video replays during the match, there would of course be terrifying repercussions for the Caledonian goat-bothering Brotherhood.
"Nevertheless, it is the only explanation of the events which makes sense of the observed facts. Craven had immediately taken his position at the edge of the six-yard box when McDonald awarded the penalty, showing that he had no concerns over the validity of the award. He did not subsequently raise his flag while the Dundee United players surrounded the referee with protests. Immediately after the TV broadcast had shown a replay, live pictures showed an alarmed expression sweep across the whistler's boat race, almost as if he had heard something in his earpiece, then after a few moments of indecision, he turned towards the bye-line and spoke to the Assistant Referee.
Play then resumed with a dropped ball; meanwhile, the TV captured a memorable image of Stephen Craven looking totally bewildered and very displeased indeed.
"It should be noted here that the former Head of Refereeing Development had assembled a group of match officials who had advanced to the top of the national game by realising that Dallas was wont to give low scores to referees who "incorrectly" gave big decisions TO Celtic but was unlikely to punish errors that went AGAINST the paranoid Tims. Thus, an ambitious whistler doesn't need to be a bigot himself in order to practice a pro-Rangers, anti-Celtic agenda; he merely needs to do what ever is necessary to score the highest assessment marks. Knowing that Dallas had the final say on these scores makes it easier for the objective observer to understand why referees are less likely to give Celtic the benefit of the doubt.
"Last Thursday, John McKendrick miraculously just happened to walk through the door of a BBC Radio Scotland studio at the precise moment when the volunteer Hun propagandist, Chick Young, was regaling the head of the Israeli referees - in a live broadcast! - with an imaginative account of why the SFA required the services of foreign officials. McKendrick eagerly took over and spun the story into an even more fanciful dimension, displaying the faultless integrity for which Scottish referees are now recognised, in a heroic effort to ensure that the SFA's best efforts to save the fixture list would be sabotaged from within the football establishment.
"McKendrick undoubtedly has a higher motivation than most to ensure that the facts of the matter at Tannadice do not emerge from the fog of deceit and misdirection, a fog that could not have persisted without unstinting, whole-hearted help and support from the charlatans in the Scottish media. Huns with laptops."

Even Our Opponents Are On Our Side On This One
Now where would we all be without Gerry Coogan?
In a less enlightened and creative place, that's where...
Two emails blogged out about Dr Death versus The Hun...
The End Of Dallas #1
It gets better with each passing hour.
Paul Brennan at Celtic Quick News has been sitting on this one for a few days and has obviously been given the green light by Reid to go public with it now.
Reid, apparently, has proof that Dallas has been in the habit of doctoring the Referee Observer's match report.
The bold Shug can order "amendments" to the original report so that he can mark up officials who have given "strong" decisions against Celtic or alternatively downgrade their scores if the Hoops have been given the benefit of too many decisions.
The reverse process applies to the Huns.
Natch.
A couple of weeks ago there was a private meeting between Stewart Regan (the new SFA chief executive) and Reid and Lawwell after which the Celtic board effectively called for the Hoops faithful to place their confidence in Regan in his battle to sort out the SFA.
Personally, I suspect that Regan himself is the source of the leaks that are appearing in various trusted Celtic websites and forums.
e.g. the Dallas email, these dodgy dossiers of match reports and even an eye-witness account of the confrontation between Regan and Dallas (as reported in Phil's blog.)
The Match Report documents, if Reid really has them, will bring the entire edifice crashing down. And even if he doesn't have them, he can still call the bluff of Dallas, George Peat and the whole, rotten, hopelessly compromised SFA gang.
It's thought that Graham Speirs, (who plays the mythical "Good Hun" in Scottish journalistic fable) also has certain knowledge of some of these documents - perhaps a test organised by Reid? - but is being prevented from publishing them by m'learned friends.
Scottish mainstream media has gone right off the chart in its biased and hysterical coverage of DallasGate. There has been at least one "top" referee or ex-ref on every BBC Radio Scotland discussion programme that I've heard this week. Last night we even had the unedifying sound of John McKendrick (the 4th official at the Dundee Utd-Celtic game that started the ball rolling) trying to convince the head of the Israeli refereeing department to break the agreement that they had just made to send over some spare officials to cover the Scottish fixtures. Live on air!
A new low point in the history of the BBC.
No surprise to learn today that three teams of Polish officials had suddenly pulled out.
I suspect that BBC London has been inundated with protests.
On the Tic websites, I've seen dozens of posts from Hoops members, reproducing their letters of complaint.
Few Celtic supporters are daft enough to waste time complaining to BBC Scotland; all the objections are calling upon London to straighten out its rogue fiefdom.
The chief broadcasting villains on the Beeb have been the loathsome "St. Mirren supporter" Chick Young, boorish thug James Traynor and the execrable Kenny McIntyre. Dishonourable mentions in the rags go to Bill Leckie, Tom Ireland, Roger Baillie and Keith "Union" Jackson.
Sad, sad, bigots, the lot of them.
But they are still utterly fucked. They are the Scottish football equivalent of Hitler rolling on the floor of the Berlin bunker while foaming at the mouth.
Dead huns walking.
And shouting defiantly.
"The cry was 'No Surrender'..."
Not yet openly published is the next stage in the final redemption of the Tribe of Tim-Paranoia.
############ Q.C. is thought to be drawing up the paperwork, even as we speak, to launch the first of many actions against the Foe Malign.
####### is not only a top brief but also a dyed-in-the-wool Tim.
I have a very strong feeling that the various football teams of the Scottish Prison Service may soon be spoilt for choice when it comes to looking for experienced referees to take charge of their kick-abouts.
The buzz amongst the Celtic support is huge now.
Dr Death is still a bastard but, right now, he's OUR bastard.
Our very own vicious, dirty, Fenian bastard up against every dirty, cheating, Orange bastard in the Scottish football establishment.
There can only be one winner here.
Even those who detest the man are pretty unanimous that if there's one guy you'd like to nominate to keep a firm, terrier-like grip of your enemies' gonads, it would be the Baron Cardowan.
Prior to the AGM, the word was that he was ready to step down from the chair, making way for Ian Bankier.
When Assistant Referee Stephen Craven resigned, prompting DougieDougieGate, Reid instantly smelt blood.
He basically said, "Everybody oot o' my road! This is MY gig!"
And even I can't deny that he's handled it perfectly so far.
"I'd rather he was inside the tent, pissing out, than outside the tent, pissing in," as LBJ said.
Hail, Hail!
The End Of Dallas #2
It's strangely quiet on the official news front today. Yesterday, Regan had the disciplinary hearings for the email transgressors, finishing with Dallas. There were seven or eight others who forwarded the email from SFA addresses. I'm hearing that all of them were fired. No certain confirmation; it just came from a friend whose friend works at Hampden and that's what he'd been told.
That's quite significant, given that the thinking in advance of the hearings was that if so much as one of the underlings was binned, Dallas was a certainty for the sack. It's possible that he has indeed been told to go away and come back a few days later with his resignation. It's an odd way to do it though.
McDonald looks as if he's dodging justice for the moment. Having already been dealt with by the referee's committee for his lies, it is being said that there is no way to go back on that decision under the SFA's rules and regulations. That's very awkward for Regan. He had already recommended a sacking in the first instance but the ref's panel ignored him. In the second instance, McDonald's dismissal was the first issue that Reid chose to go on the offensive about (after the "private pact" with Regan and Lawwell) and I imagine the Celtic board expected Regan to deliver. There are no signs though that Celtic have lost any confidence in Regan - if anything, the relationship has probably become stronger as Regan continues to discover for himself that the SFA is just as twisted and corrupt as the Celtic directors would have undoubtedly told him.
Significantly though, Celtic's first preference was not for reform of the SFA and its refereeing department but rather for a totally independent inquiry. I have a suspicion that Celtic, with the benefit of decades of frustrating experience, allowed Regan to try it his way first from the inside. But Celtic always expected that the beast can only be slain from the outside and have mostly been accumulating the evidence for ####### to put together.

Hope For Humans
There are better ways to resolve conflicts than killing strangers.
Yet one should not consider walking around Glasgow wearing a White Poppy...
Of course Death has a consumerist role to play and BSkyB were good enough to make this point as explicitly as possible: "Sky, Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Those Who Serve... (Murdoch, one assumes)".
Yet Sky was still able to delay the minute of silence to fit in with their advertising schedule (primetime, boys and girls) - Death should not get in the way of consumerism...
But why oh why oh why is it not okay to protest against the Celtic shirt being emblazoned with a Red Poppy, when it is okay for the club to sanction the wearing of the said Poppy?
Who, in the right mind, is going to think that it is valid to celebrate the killing of one's ancestors with a minute of silence?
The wearing of the Red Poppy is not a neutral position.
It is an aggressive statement, so it is...
So Celtic fans, in opposition to The Branded Entity that was once their club, displayed a banner using words from "James Connolly" in protest.
"Your deeds would shame all the devils in hell - Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan - No Bloodstained Poppy On Our Hoops".
The Branded Entity committed to banning the culprits "with immediate effect" as soon as they were identified.
Meanwhile Hugh Dallas clings by his claws to his role as SFA Head of Referees after a window where he has been shown in public to be what everybody knew he was all the way along - a lying, cheating, bigoted, offensive little man who will, if his claws lose their grasp, no doubt be shuffled off to an executive role at Guernica Rangers for services rendered.
On Wednesday the Catholic Church called for the SFA to sack Dallas if it was proved he passed on a "tasteless message" relating to the Pope's visit to Scotland in September.
Gerry Coogan prompted me in the direction of Phil Mac Giolla Bhain's website (http://www.philmacgiollabhain.com/hugh-dallas-offered-to-call-off-strike-if-his-case-dropped/) where the following was blogged:
"Hugh Dallas offered to call off strike if his case dropped!"
By: Phil Mac Giolla Bhain
Exclusive.
"Hugh Dallas and Stewart Regan had a blazing row on Monday at the SFA headquarters in Glasgow.
Hugh Dallas offered to call off the referees strike if his disciplinary hearing into the Pope email was called off.
On hearing this ultimatum an SFA insider said:
“Regan went ballistic!”
Regan’s exact words, overheard by many in the office were:
“How effing dare you! Don’t ever raise that again! Those two matters are totally unrelated!”
Hugh Dallas will hear his fate at 17.00hrs today in Glasgow.
In total eight people will be the subject of disciplinary hearings today.
I have learned that the Scottish Football Association has a very clear IT policy.
The passing on this email is clearly considered by Mr.Regan to be a “breach of the organisation’s IT policy.”
In recent weeks several staff were reminded of this policy of forwarding on offensive emails.
It was established inside the SFA that receiving such an email and opening it was no offence.
However forwarding it on would be considered an offence punishable from anything from a reprimand to dismissal.
I have also learned that if any of the other seven staff are dismissed for passing on this email then Mr.Dallas will also be dismissed."
Looks like a "with immediate effect" situation from where I stand!
Anyway, where was I?
Ah yes, the Poppy...
Imperial ventures...
The Busby at Chelsea...
Extraordinary Rendition...
The EDF squaring up to the Muslims Against Crusades...
The killing of David Kelly...
Blair peddling "Peace"...
The memoir-legitimisation of waterboarding...
Why not have splattered Iraqi children on the pitch at Stamford Bridge instead?
The repeated slaughter of the Working Class and the Disenfranchised of this and every other country is a tragedy.
There are better ways to resolve conflicts than killing strangers.

Dirty Old Town
"This is what it's like to be FC,
this is what it's like to be home,
this is what it's like when you don't sell your arse to a gnome,
your arse to a gnome, your arse to a gnome."
Sir Ferguson: "[FC United] are just publicity seekers."
"So come on cheer the boys, FC make some noise, we go wow wow wow, we go wow wow wow."
According to Sepp Blatter, the Sunday Times reporting of the FIFA votes scandal is "unethical".
"Under the boardwalk watching FCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Yeah,
They'll be no knobheads in jester hats or Sky TV,
Under the board walk we'll be watching FC,
Under the board walk we'll be watching FC."
"UEFA is taking action against the newspapers that leaked the information about voting collusion in the presentation of the Euro 2012 Finals to Poland/Ukraine."
"Two thousand and five, the month of May,
Malcolm Glazer drove us away,
There's too many debts that we won't pay,
And now we know there's another way.
FC United of Manchester,
We're FC United of Manchester,
We're FC United of Manchester,
We're FC United of Manchester."
Insider gambler Harry Redknapp threatens not to speak to the media if he is banned for his comments about Weave Clattenburg.
"Hoist up the John B sail,
Can't hear the Mainstand sing,
Call up the MRE,
We'll sing on our own.
Don't wanna go hoooome,
Don't wanna go hooooooome,
This is the best trip,
I've ever been on.
Der der der der
Sooo
Hoist up the John B sail,
Can't hear the Mainstand sing,
Call up the MRE,
We'll sing on our own.
Don't wanna go hoooome,
Don't wanna go hooooooome,
This is the best trip,
I've ever been on..."
The Guardian: "The senior Fifa official Danny Jordaan has admitted to clandestine collusion with competitors when he led South Africa's World Cup bid team, unsuccessfully persuading England to withdraw from the 2006 race by offering Nelson Mandela's support for 2010."
"They came for Man United's red,
And Wimbledon in blue,
And Wrexham and the Metrostars,
Telford, Salzburg too.
They think that they can buy the lot ,
But they can buy fuck all,
'Cos two things they can never own ,
Are us, and PUNK FOOTBALL!
Tra la la laaaaaa,
We all hate Franchise!"
The afternoon after FC United of Manchester battered the hillbillies of Rochdale, there were numerous blocks of empty seats at Old Trafford for the visit of Wolves.
"I am an FC fan,
I am a Mancunian,
I know what I want and I know how to get it,
I wanna destroy,
Glazer and Sky,
Cause I,
Wanna be,
At FCCC..."
The Guardian sent Jamie Jackson to cover Shakhtar Donetsk against Arsenal in the Champions League and he was so at the game that he thought Eduardo's first half goal actually occurred in the second half. Finger on the pulse...
"The man with no shame,
The man with no shame,
Rio Ferdinand,
The man with no shame."
Serie A football show no longer shows highlights of controversial decisions in case calcio punters put two and two together...
"When FC United go out to play na na, na na,
When FC United go out to play na na, na na,
When FC United go out to play it's 3 o'clock on a Saturday.
We don't work for SkySports anymore!"
Martin Tyler about John Henry's trophy wife: "She looks like a lovely lady."
"His name is Malcolm Glazer,
He thinks he's rather flash.
He tried to buy a football team,
But didn't have the cash.
He borrowed lots of money,
He made the fans distraught,
But we're FC United,
And we won't be fuckin' bought..."
Robert Fisk on the WikiLeaks: "Well I think there are several very important elements to this story.
First of all, the individual items like, you know, there are witnesses, American witnesses to torture, they didn't do anything, that the Iraqis - security authorities were torturing Iraqis, that American air strikes were killing many civilians.
We knew about this, but it was always denied by the Americans. I was doing stories years ago about Iraqis torturing Iraqis and the stories were coming from American officers who were leaking them to me.
But of course every time I wrote them in the paper, the Americans denied that it was true. I went to the scenes of US air strikes. They were obviously limbs, hands, arms of children, babies, women, civilians, as well sometimes as armed men, and we wrote about this.
What the WikiLeaks does is it proves beyond any doubt that what we reported was correct and that what we were told by the American authorities was mendacious, it was a lie.
Just remember, the Americans now are saying, "Shame upon WikiLeaks. It's endangering lives in Iraq." I mean, invading Iraq endangered an awful lot of lives, didn't it?
But, you know, if these leaks, if these 400,000 documents had confirmed that the Americans did stop torture, that they didn't kill civilians and air strikes, you know, US generals would be handing this stuff out free of charge to journalists on the front steps of the Pentagon."
"My eyes have seen the glory and my heart has felt the pain,
While Glazer's at Old Trafford I will never go again.
We've taken all the passion and we're singing at Gigg Lane,
As the reds go marching ON ON ON!
Glory glory FC United...etc
I am a Busby boy and that is all I'll ever be,
Until some greedy bastard took my club away from me,
We've taken all the passion and we're following FC,
As the reds go marching ON ON ON!"

A Christmas Story
More On The Dallas Dynasty
Yesterday morning, Hugh Dallas sought legal advice over the comments made in the Scottish media by Assistant Referee, Steven Craven.
Understanding the psyche of Dallas, if he had received a positive response from his barrister, he would surely have come down like a ton of bricks on the recently retired linesperson.
But he didn't.
He merely went for the impotent denial of harassment despite the alleged fact that an SFA employee was in the room throughout the phone conversation between Dallas and Craven.
The allegations of harassment, bullying and applying pressure on Craven to alter his view of reality remain at the feet of Dallas.
For the uninitiated, Dallas allegedly leant on Craven to "take the flak" instead of referee Dougie McDonald over the Celtic penalty-that-never-was (honestly) against the Tangerine Arabs.
Dallas: "Unfortunately, these allegations have given rise to the suggestion that I was involved in some sort of cover-up: nothing could be further from the truth."
Sue then, sir!
Dallas added: "I am dismayed and saddened that the reputation I have built up over 30 years in refereeing could be besmirched by such unfounded allegations."
And what reputation would that be, Hugh?
Inevitably the SFA offered Dallas "unequivocal support" which is as inevitable as anything ever could be north of Hadrian's Wall.
The SFA also described Hugh as "helpful and honest"...
...honestly, this is not intended as a joke.
Meanwhile, Dougie McDonald sought to set the record straight from a different angle...
McDonald told BBC Scotland: "There was no big cover-up. I was just trying to help out my colleague and protect him a little. It was a white lie in the heat of the moment. It was not a pre-meditated act.
"It was a mistake, I regret it hugely, but there's not a person on this earth who hasn't told a lie for what they think are the right reasons.
"I'm sure every adult in the country will tell their kids in a few weeks that a man in a red suit is going to come down their chimney.
"That's a lie but it's for the right reasons and that's what I thought I was doing. I regret it now."
Okidoke.
You heard it here first.
Scottish football isn't fixed because Santa Claus doesn't exist.
Only in Scotland could this logic exist.
Footie Is Fixed #1!
Okay, so...
Having been inundated with emails over the last two posts (detailing corruptions at the Celtic/Rangers clash and the Newcastle/Sunderland unclash), we are far too busy to reply to all the correspondence received.
We analyse the corruptions in the "sport" of football and trade that knowledge on the Asian markets.
Since the start of the season, we have achieved 95% winners on over 100 matches (excluding breakeven events) - an all-time high performance level from our team.
If footie wasn't fixed, how on earth would we be able to achieve such returns?
Perhaps it is all those conversations we have with Father Christmas that makes us so slick.
"And what would you like for xmas, son?"
"A dodgy penalty, an even dodgier sending off and, if West Brom are still likely to beat the Seasiders, could we possibly have another sending off as well?"
"Your wish is my command".
Footie Is Fixed #2
And, anyway, girls and boys.
If Footie wasn't Fixed, why would we have been offered a Consultancy contract by a Premier League team?
'Nuff said, for now.
