Graham Spiers has hit rock bottom by inviting Mike McCurry onto his patreon podcast to demonstrate what a lovely, misunderstood, decent fella he really is.

As an SFA referee McCurry was a member of the extremist Orange Order, anyone wearing a Celtic shirt or even the colour green when McCurry’s friends are marching through Glasgow city centre will know the level of hatred that the Order cultivates.

Covering the Orangefest In June 2015 the Glasgow Times reported:

The organisation, whose existence is based on the military victory by the Protestant King William Of Orange over forces led by the Catholic King James II more than 300 years ago, announced its day of events in Glasgow last autumn.

It has has been billed as an “opportunity to gain an understanding of the cultural heritage and modus operandi of the Orange Lodge as a whole”, with invitations extended to the Catholic Church, as well as the leaders of other faiths and all politicians in the city.

As well as bands, prayers, a Last Night At The Prom-style concert and speeches, academic and journalist Ruth Dudley Edwards will be speaking, along with former top flight football referee Mike McCurry.

During his refereeing career there were numerous fixtures that raised concern about McCurry’s impartiality, in defence his media buddies replied that he was a Minister, a man of God and beyond questioning.

That defence often led to late night visits to the car park at Hampden.

Spiers likes to position himself as the friendly, nice face of the ‘Rangers’ support, a good sound decent type who just happens to support football clubs which act as a rallying point for those that hate Catholics, chanting and celebrating their intolerance at every match.

In 1998 Spiers accompanied Jim Taynor on a luxury weekend to Jersey to celebrate 10 years of Rangers being under the guidance of Dave Murray.

Presenting McCurry as a good egg that is misunderstood confirms the Spiers agenda that all is whiter than white in Scottish football with the wish that those pesky Celtic fans and internet bampots would pipe down and enjoy the excitement of O** F*** jousts governed by officials from Lanarkshire and Glasgow selected by the untouchables inside Hampden.

McCurry’s biggest refereeing outrage didn’t involve Celtic, in May 2008 he reached levels that Beaton, Walsh and Madden could only dream of as he engineered a defeat for Dundee United at Ibrox that prompted Craig Levein into the most honest post-match interview in the history of Scottish football. McCurry’s career was unaffected.

We’d be as well not turning up today, we couldn’t win today.
