“Spanish Banjo” Clarification


I am informed this morning I have my fifteen minutes of fame on Follow Follow, where a poster called “Spanish Banjo” has claimed that “Vanwigs campaigned against the RST and Mark Dingwall throughout Administration in the form of two blogs. William Poole and Wee Proclaimer”


Firstly, I blog for me and no one else, and I am not a member of any fans forums.
I also do not know who "The Wee Proclaimer" is.

The only fans forum I have ever applied to join was Follow Follow, and my application was refused.

You can draw your own conclusions from that.

I may blog irregularly, but I have blogged on a number of Rangers related issues, including exposes of The SFA, the SPL, “journalists” Alex Thomson and Roy Greenslade, and the SPFA.

Before today I had done 106 blog posts, and without trolling my own blog, my recollection is that I blogged about the RST’s doomed Save Rangers “scheme” once, and blogged about issues associated to the trust on one other occasion, with the other 100 or so blog posts being about general Rangers issues, and agendas against the club.

Whatever that number of RST posts may be it is miniscule, and absolutely not the raison d'etre of my blog

I have a simple philosophy, I write about issues that I believe need written about.

I gave up the blog for some time due to other committments and semi jokingly offered via my Twitter account to write for other Rangers websites. The only offer that came in was from the owner of the Copland Road blog, which I didn't refuse, but I didn't accept either.

I have never written for anyone else other than a guest blog for a unionist site.

I like having my own blog, and I like writing independently, and actually have no interest in writing for anyone else, or handing over editorial control to anyone else.

I will continue to blog irregeularly on topics that deserve to be written about.

I would prefer not to write ever about Rangers fans, which is evident in the archives of my blog.

Unfortunately, there are some in the Rangers support more interested in their own agendas than they are about the betterment of Rangers. When they put their own agenda ahead of that of the club they should be challenged.
