I have written earlier about a man who is clearly mentally ill and by his own account a self-confessed mentally ill person.
I will call him by the name he calls himself now Phil Mac Giolla Bhain.
I wasn’t going to give this cretin anymore oxygen of publicity as his dubious reputation is in tatters to any self-respecting normal human being.
I fear I must yet again expose this cretin, this PIRA terrorist loving fool, this absolute buffoon of a man still holds sway in Scottish public life with some people whose hatred towards Rangers is so great that they will side with an absolute sectarian bigot of a man along as they can get a dig at the worlds most successful team!
You may recall dear reader that I exposed that Phil Gillivan dedicated his, now I believe being pulped book about Rangers to a certain Mick Derrig.
Mick Derrig was/is one of the many aliases that this so-called serious journalist uses this one he used when written in his friends the guardians Roy Greenslade PIRA rag of choice An Phoblacht.
One of the many articles of his that I will be re publishing in order to inform the deranged Rangers Haters especially this still remaining in BBC Scotland the sort of dangerous”Tactical bigot” they spoon feed “exclusives” too is the story of the murder of a certain Mr James Hardie wrote on thursday 31 august 2000 and published in An Phoblact.
Not pleased with his so called club Celtics 6 2 win over Rangers Phil Mac Giolla Bhain goes on to spin this disgusting piece of hate filled sectarian rebel rousing hatred that I will print in full at end of this Blog.
But not before I pick holes out of it by reporting the truth.
Under the Headline of KILLING FOR RANGERS Scotland’s unacknowledged sectarinism Phil Mac Giolla Bhain writes that
As the pub danced to Chris Sutton’s injury time tap-in last Sunday, as Celtic hammered Rangers 6-2, the moment for this son of Parkhead was spoiled.
It is no coincidence that Johnny Adair’s UDA have borrowed a modern Rangers anthem, `Simply The Best’, to strut their fascist stuff at Drumcree
The thought jumped into my head and would not go away. I will share it with you now. How many Celtic supporters are going to die tonight because of this? The answer, so far, is one.
James Hardie was watching TV with his kins at his home in Drumchapel. A man burst into his home and stabbed him repeatedly. Drumchapel is the peripheral housing estate on the Northwest edge of Glasgow that produced George Seawright.
If James Hardie’s killer is ever brought to justice, then it would surprise no one if he benefits from the eloquent sophistry of Donald Findlay QC. Findlay was Vice-Chairman of Rangers until he was filmed singing sectarian loyalist party tunes. Before being outed, Findlay had represented a number of loyalists in Scottish courts. No doubt they still call on his services.
well James Hardie’s killer was brought to justice and guess what?

Celtic Fan stabbed Gers rival.
IAN SHARP writes
Celtic supporter Gary Rodgers was jailed for life yesterday for murdering a Rangers fan on his own doorstep.
Just hours after his team defeated Rangers 6-2 last August, Rodgers, 30, from Drumchapel, repeatedly stabbed James Hardie, 43.
He fled father-of-six Mr Hardie’s home, leaving his Celtic baseball cap behind in the blood-stained garden.
It had “Fighting Tims” printed on it and police scientists matched it to Rodgers’ DNA from his dandruff left inside the cap.
A jury at the High Court in Glasgow took two hours to unanimously find him guilty of murdering his victim.
It was never made clear during the trial if Old Firm rivalry had anything to do with why Rodgers attacked Mr Hardie.
Judge Lord Nimmo Smith told Rodgers: “We have not heard the whole story about your motive.
“You had a grievance which left you to go to your victim’s home.
“There you inflicted brutal, grievous and fatal injuries, leaving a widow and six children in grief.”
Rodgers was also found guilty of attempting to injure a 15-year-old girl with a knife at the scene.
Rodgers’ co-accused, Derek Proctor, 20, from Glasgow Road, silverton, Dumbarton was cleared of the murder. He was also cleared of setting fire to a car to destroy evidence.
Rodgers, who admitted a long list of previous convictions, smirked at the dead man’s family as he was led from court.
Mick oh fuck it Im fed up with this mans insanity Phil Gillivan has not yet reported this story as fact instead of the falsehood he spread hours after an old firm game.
But what do you expect from a man who was salivating at the tragic death of Reamonn Gormley hoping, no preying it was sectarianly motivated hey and who’s to say it wasn’t ?
Who’s to say that those two hate filled violent neds of the Celtic family that were commonly seen on Irish republican marches that murdered Reamonn Gormley in cold Blood didn’t do so thinking young Reamonn Gormley a Rangers fan?
we will never know.
here is Mick’s I mean Phil’s article in full.
KILLING FOR RANGERS
Scotland’s unacknowledged sectarianism
BY MICK DERRIG
As the pub danced to Chris Sutton’s injury time tap-in last Sunday, as Celtic hammered Rangers 6-2, the moment for this son of Parkhead was spoiled.It is no coincidence that Johnny Adair’s UDA have borrowed a modern Rangers anthem, `Simply The Best’, to strut their fascist stuff at Drumcree
The thought jumped into my head and would not go away. I will share it with you now. How many Celtic supporters are going to die tonight because of this? The answer, so far, is one.
James Hardie was watching TV with his kins at his home in Drumchapel. A man burst into his home and stabbed him repeatedly. Drumchapel is the peripheral housing estate on the Northwest edge of Glasgow that produced George Seawright.
It has the twin social poisons of poverty and loyalism. I spent time there as a youth worker in the 1980s. I know the place well; I looked into its soul. I came away from Drumchapel with a settled view that loyalism in Scotland would, one day, be a major social problem which the Scottish nation would have to deal with.
There is now a regular body count of Catholics after every Old Firm game. Last season, a young man called McFadden with Donegal connections was stabbed to death – his crime was wearing a Celtic top. Another young man escaped death by the strength of his sternum – he was shot in the chest by a crossbow. He survived, to the bafflement of medics.
If James Hardie’s killer is ever brought to justice, then it would surprise no one if he benefits from the eloquent sophistry of Donald Findlay QC. Findlay was Vice-Chairman of Rangers until he was filmed singing sectarian loyalist party tunes. Before being outed, Findlay had represented a number of loyalists in Scottish courts. No doubt they still call on his services.
Jason Campbell, a UVF thug who slashed a young man’s throat to the spine, was heading for a conviction for murder. Findlay got the charge reduced by the skill of his courtroom oratory. Campbell’s victim was Mark Scott. He had made the fatal error of walking through Bridgeton in the East End of Glasgow wearing a Celtic Top.
What shocked nice polite Scottish society was that Mark Scott could’ve been one of their own (i.e. not a working class Taig). Mark Scott’s dad is a leading Scottish surgeon and a Protestant. His mother is a Catholic. Nice, middle class, tolerant, they allowed Mark to support Celtic. It cost him his life.
The Scottish media, even presented with this opportunity, chose not to examine this twisted sectarian belief system.
The culture that Rangers nurtures every match day is an open sewer that no one in Scottish society seems willing or able to address. It is no coincidence that Johnny Adair’s UDA have borrowed a modern Rangers anthem, `Simply The Best’, to strut their fascist stuff at Drumcree.
The badge of a Harryville protester was a Rangers scarf worn as a mask. Rangers keeper Andy Goram was photographed in his home in a room that could only be described as a shrine to loyalism. This is no ordinary soccer club.
The club’s unofficial battle hymn for generations has been `The Billy Boys’. It commemorates the exploits of the inter-war Glasgow gang of that name, founded by Billy Fullerton.
Fullerton was one of Mosely’s Blackshirts, a member of the British Union of Fascists and a founder member of the Ku Klux Klan in Scotland. His razor-wielding gang weighed in on the side of the state during the 1926 General Strike. Many of the Billy Boys received Certificates of Commendation from the Secretary of State for Scotland for services rendered during the General Strike.
There is a rich vein of fascism in Scotland stretching back to those days. It almost always wears a Rangers shirt.
There is no nationalist equivalent. Simply none.
The British Left wrap themselves up in a comfort blanket that says `both sides are as bad as each other’. This holds about as much water as saying that the Metropolitan Police would not have dealt with the Stephen Lawrence affair differently if Lawrence had have been a white kid who had been murdered by a group of black thugs.
No one seriously believes that anywhere. The Met are racists and the targets of that racism are the lower orders of English society. That means Black and Irish. In Glasgow it means a Catholic with, usually, an Irish surname.
An Irish surname is a major indicator in Scotland thatyou will be unemployed and that your dad was long-term unemployed. It is also a major indicator that you will have worse health than someone without an Irish surname – even when socio-economic factors are allowed for.
What Scottish society and the Scottish political elite – now complete with their own legislature – cannot, it would appear, come to terms with, is that there remains a problem of anti-Catholic/anti-Irish discrimination in Scottish society.
That discrimination legitimises, in the sick heads that killed Mark Scott and James Hardie, the killing of Taigs if the Rangers defence has an off day. Because in Scotland 2000, its still OK to be down on Taigs.
This fixture list slaughter hardly raises a comment from the concerned chattering classes now flying around the Scottish parliament. This is because Catholics still predominate in the lower socio-economic orders and it is an unwritten subtext that Catholics in Scotland, because so many of them have maintained an emotional attachment to Ireland, are not really full members of Scottish society.
For many in the West of Scotland, that is an accurate picture of their mindset. It is certainly the sense of identity I grew up with. We were expatriate Irish. That identity would not be a problem in New York; in Glasgow it can be a stabbing offence.
The next Old Firm game will have more deaths. They will be Catholics. As the graffiti in Portadown says `Any Fenian Will Do’.
At least on this island we recognise Adair’s belief system as a social problem. Even that nice Fintan O’Toole said it was a Bad Thing in the Irish Times. There is a wide consensus on this island, and not just among nationalists, that those Drumcree protesters are a social problem. They have a belief system that has no place in an agreed Ireland.
Scotland is still in denial. That is why the killing will continue.
