You are all aware that my other great passion in life is football.
There are certain things in football that can be equated with other aspects in life, like politics, fishing or indeed love.
The most famous of these comparisons being ‘the one that got away.’
Being a Rangers fan our biggest one that, ‘got away’ was King Kenny Dalglish.
Kenny came from a Rangers supporting family and in fact he was brought up a Rangers fan living in the Broomloan Road Flats overlooking Ibrox Stadium.
Rumour goes that when the Rangers scouts went to watch Kenny after being alerted about his quality they made the following observation,”the boy just hasn’t got it!” 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Kenny was snapped up by Celtic where he is still a legend before eventually ending up at Ranger’s new feeder club, Liverpool FC.
Kenny went on to win European, English titles, cups and honours and is lauded by the Kop as the greatest ever Liverpool player.
Kenny In my opinion is arguably the greatest ever footballer to come out of Scotland.
Celtic fans have a similar story to tell with Andy Robertson who was released by Celtic as a boy the coaches believing he wasn’t good enough to play for Celtic.
Andy, like Kenny has gone on to Liverpool to be a Champions League winner and a mainstay of the Scotland set up.
Aberdeen fans can point to Dolly the sheep who was cloned by Keith Campbell, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute, part of the University of Edinburgh.
Aberdeen University has never been forgiven by the Pittodrie faithful.

Similar comparisons like this have also been made in the world of politics.
’The Greatest Prime Ministers we never had’ category.
Many Tories believe that, Iain MacLeod and Michael Heseltine are two of these ‘greatest Tory Prime Ministers we never had.’
Personally, I never view Tory PMs as anything other than failures for my nation.
There are a lot of Labour people that believe John Smith was in that same category as these two Tories.
I am not one of them.
I believe he would have been as big a disappointment as any other faux socialist that Labour throw up.
Before the advent of internet, the MSM ruled the narrative, Smith, Donald Dewar, and many other Scottish Unionists were given almost god like status.
The reality being they all served their London masters before Scotland and were bought and sold like the present day House Jocks.
The Media have tried the same bilge with Ruth Davidson and it seems are now moving on to elevate Jo Swinson way beyond her abilities too.
Even the fawning foreign owned media in Scotland can now see that Davidson and her Tories are a spent force.
Now it seems they are hoping Swinson is that silver bullet to kill the SNP.
They have tried for decades to find someone or something that could finish off the Independence Movement then they can return to their lazy two Party politics.
Swinson is unlikely to last more than a few short weeks in the spotlight before sliding back to the obscurity from whence she came.
The great thing now, of course, is that we do have access to internet and facts.
The MSM can no longer treat us like mushrooms, that though doesn’t stop them doing the throwing shit bit.
Talking of faeces brings me nicely to the ‘contest’ for leader of the English Conservative & Unionist Party.
This takes polishing a turd to a whole new level.

Joseph de Maistre the 18th Century philosopher famously said, “ Toute nation a le gouvernment qu’elle merite”
Every country gets the government it deserves.
Which begs the question, what the F### have we done to deserve one of these cretins?
This is more like a Police line up than an inspiring list of people ready to ride to the rescue of the failing United Kingdom.
There is nothing exciting or endearing in any of these candidates.
There is not a single thing in their pasts that is commendable that can give us hope for better days ahead.
We know there have been instances of drug taking, less than truthful answers in and out of Parliament.
Backstabbing, subterfuge, disloyalty, adultery and mediocrity are just some of their better traits.
Dominic Raab has spent the last few weeks saying how terrible the Brexit Deal is, he negotiated it!
He has only just discovered that Dover to Calais is a busy Trade Route!
Jeremy Hunt is only ‘ bettered’ for incompetence by virtue of Chris Grayling being in the same party as him.
Andrea Leadsom, bless her, is like your nice but glaikit aunty that doesn’t know if it’s New Year or New York.
Rory Stewart is just weird.
I look at the guy and that old sixth sense says don’t fall asleep if that guy is about.
Javid is endorsed by Davidson if that is not bad enough this second generation immigrant wants to be seen as tough on immigration to the Tory faithful.
I wonder how he is able to reconcile this anti-immigrant stance with his family and friends.
Boris and Gove two of the most sleekit hypocritical back stabbing slimy creatures ever to be sitting on the green benches.
I wouldn’t trust either of them to run a bath let alone a country.
They would sell the bath for scrap and bottle the water for cash.
Matt Hancock is well named, his solution to keep us Jocks happy compliant little colonialists is to fly more Union Flags in our towns and cities.
Penny who?
She has done what?
Which leaves us with Esther.
There is not a Kenny Dalglish among them destined for greater things however Esther is the one that I am hoping gets the gig.
Let me explain my in depth reasoning behind this well thought out logical decision.
First and foremost we have to accept that one of them will eventually be selected by the Tory geriatric membership.
No amount of hoping or wishing will change this reality, one of them will be Prime Minister.
The upside for Scotland is with their collective incompetence, arrogance and anti-Scottish racism they will hasten Independence.
They will, of course all fail miserably at being UK Prime Minister.
The arithmetic and intransigence in Westminster means Theresa May has left No 10 but the problem remains the same.
There is no way out of the Brexit clusterf### that the Anglo-Brits have created.
The only sensible solutions would mean an admission of Anglo fallibility and that can never be an admission, especially by Tories.
Revoking Article50 and apologising to our European neighbours while the most sensible option is again an admission that Little Englanders just cannot make.
No Deal, a United Ireland and an Independent Scotland in Europe are all inevitable.
Nothing can stop these things happening, only the timescales remain unanswered.
Along the way it is going to be rough and tough with a lot of pain and suffering.
None of these clowns can make an iota of difference to the outcomes.
Therefore, that leads me to the conclusion if we have to have one of these morons, it might as well be Esther.
She may just be just as unsuitable as any of these freaks, but at least she is pleasing on the eye.
The mute button, of course, would need to be deployed!
Well, what did you expect, some philosophical conclusion, they are Tories !
They are all useless, uncaring, greedy ,manipulative, sleazy, dishonest trough dwellers!
I am merely exposing my shallow male characteristics if we have to have a Tory PM let’s have the eye candy candidate.
It doesn’t make you a bad guy, does it? 😏😏

You’re right Roddy she’s certainly the best looking of the bunch, she’s like a badly played cello a beautiful instrument but painful to listen to
