The Rangers Panto

 Steven Kellow    Football

It’s Punch and Judy season across the country, and sadly for what was one of Scotland’s most important footballing institutions once upon a day the festive spirit of playing out a farcical story has gripped Ibrox this month. The only difference is that there doesn’t appear to be any real heroes on show. Ally McCoist has now effectively left the club after three years in charge of Rangers, a time where the side have gone from perennial title challengers alongside bitter rivals Celtic to being — Read more →

The Newsroom: Series Review

 Steven Kellow    TV & Film  

Television has had some great writers over the years, but none are quite like Aaron Sorkin.

State of the Polls: December 2014

 Steven Kellow    Politics  ,

We’re just under five months away from the General Election, and when we ring in the New Year you can be certain that the campaigning and electioneering of all major political parties will begin to ramp up as they begin to stake their claim for your vote. Next year’s General Election is going to be fascinating. Normally they are two dimensional contests, with the Tories and Labours battling it out for Government and the Lib Dems providing little more than a mild attempt at becoming — Read more →
