James Doleman

[SW Bear]

James Doleman - Was this not the 'reporter' who appealed for crowd funding from celtc fans to report on court cases involving Rangers so that he could give us all his unjaundiced views on the proceedings.

[Scrubs UK]

Yes, he covered a lot of court cases involving Craig Whyte. Freelancer and Celtic fan. Had some interesting back and forths on Twitter with him a few times over the years.

Some things are bigger than football though tbh.

 

[mdingwall]

Aye.

Was mouthy on Twitter but face to face was like a mouse and obsequious.

Still, we all have our faults and the manner of his death was not one anyone should like to undergo themselves.

Condolences to his friends and family.

 

[Johnny Yen]

I seem to recall the filth support crowdfunding thousands to send him to London to report on a trial involving us? It was reported almost word for word by various other media outlets.

 

[kirkwinningblue]

Pity he didn’t follow paedo court cases at the piedome.

 

[Tino_Col]

A Rangers obsessive.

 

[Traveller]

Some things are bigger than football though tbh.

Including his hatred of us

 

[Camby loyalist]

As my mum says if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.

 

[Mexi]

I remember him getting confused by the ruling, and reporting the outcome he wanted, not what what actually happened

 

[Alex Clelands Forehead]

What a life wasted, obsessing about something he hated.

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

..

 

[GourockBlue50]

No great loss.

 

[Bigbluebear]

James Doleman died, the Rangers survived.

No need for that

James Doleman died, the Rangers survived.

I would expect that on one of their boards. We are better than that.

The guy hated us. I will delete it if it offends.

 

[Coza]

Yeah remember that one too. Had to quickly correct himself when someone a bit more clued up had obviously told him.

Cancer has no colours. Condolences to anyone who knew and loved him.

 

[Artful Dodger]

No friend of Rangers. But as someone who has both had cancer and lost many a family members to cancer watching them die in front of me I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

 

[Noddy]

The guy hated us. I will delete it if it offends.

So? What happened to "no one likes us, we don't care"? Can you not understand that not everybody supports or loves Rangers?

 

[AndythephotoDr]

Aye.

Was mouthy on Twitter but face to face was like a mouse and obsequious.

Still, we all have our faults and the manner of his death was not one anyone should like to undergo themselves.

Condolences to his friends and family.

Very much a reminder of keeping to your own standards and not lowering them like the guttersnipes would Mark.

Disliked the guys writing and his opinions of our club and our fans but even folks like that have family and loved ones who will miss him.

Everyone should love The Famous. I do.

 

[barcode]

If people have nothing nice to say then its best they say nothing at all.

I am saying nothing except condolences to his family for their loss.

 

[Malsie1872]

Having to fight this awful disease myself I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Won't however shed any tears.

 

[Strathbungo Bear]

It's a young age to die, condolences to his loved ones.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

On the advice of a few posters, I’m saying nothing.

 

[giogaddi]

A shame he is dead but there was nothing pioneering about his work.

 

[ElCamino]

A hateful bigoted piece of work.

 

[Orange County]

So? What happened to "no one likes us, we don't care"? Can you not understand that not everybody supports or loves Rangers?

I think its the extra bit of hatred and vile against us that most cant understand.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

Indeed. From reading that obit you'd think we has a latter day Carl Bernstein and not just some guy tweeting stuff from a court room verbatim (and still getting it wrong).

I don't think he was employed either.

He was pretty aptly named from what I recall.

That was him.

Nothing nice to say, say nothing etc

 

[Loud and proud]

Only ever read his stuff on twitter, He was very selective in what he reported if I recall.
Got the impression, like most of them, he hated us and everything we stand for.
Still, wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, so hopefully for his sake it was quick.

 

[Boxer]

He created a bit of a following from 2012 onwards and was no friend of Rangers. I've always struggled to genuinely dislike guys like Doleman though, always felt really sorry for him after seeing a lot of his posts screen-grabbed and put on twitter of him basically begging for money for articles.

Could someone correct me but is he the guy that got the award from that Chico guy at some blog awards?

That was John James.

He went to accept his award and said something about disenfranchised fathers or something? Haha.

He is a lunatic. He started off pretending he was a Rangers supporter and then morphed into McGilivan but even slightly more mental. He said the UDA were tailing him at one point.

You'd think he'd won the Pulitzer Prize when he got that blog award. He was so, so proud of it. He only won it because of an online campaign amongst the puddle drinkers to vote for him. James Dornan was involved!

Different guy.

I think the guy you’re thinking of has the surname of James.(I could be wrong)

The guy whose missus turned his weans against him and yes, he is a begging blogger too.

That's right, I've always wondered about the mental state of people like that who believe they've achieved something special after receiving an award from the ' its Chico Time' guy

Any excuse to post this.

I remember after he realised that his cover was blown, he claimed to have sent someone in his place to collect the award due to threats on his life from Rangers supporter groups. He subsequently claimed to be receiving protection from a group know as (checks notes) 'The Kungfu Tims'.

The banter years werent all bad.

[SuperA II]

Very well educated and clever guy.
Yet even with all that going for him still was engulfed with the bias that negates all that went before.

Sad news he has passed away
Thoughts and prayers with his family.

The best part of the “Kung Fu Tims” was that he was actually approached by these individuals who offered their protection from the “Stranraer UDA” who were hunting for John James.

A lot of terrible bloggers/amateur journos made a few quid dining out on our situation then writing what their donors wanted to hear.

I’m not sure why sort of living, if any, he made from it but if it was by simply dangling carrots in front of mouth foaming, demented Tims then fair play to him.

 

[Blue bells are blue1872]

A Rangers obsessive.

Ex

 

[Williem2]

I have many things I would like to say about this person who did all he could to trash the club we love based on his own bigoted small minded views but I come from good stock and have been raised not to speak in of the dead.

So, Adios James

I don't believe that's real. That's from Phoenix Nights

 

[Haining84]

Blast from the past!

I remember he used to tweet from Rangers related court cases and deliberately leave out important transcripts that demolished his Sevco/Rangers bad nonsense.

Matt Leslie was another one. Pretended to be a hearts fan but was just a fat, unemployed haemorrhoid flapping his gums about a club he plainly despised.
Is he still on the go? I'm banned off his twitter?

A name I’ve not heard for a while - Maybe he whipped up the scum that much in donations that he’s residing in luxury somewhere now!!

Or dead, whatever. He was rather corpulently framed.

Was last seen searching the streets for his missing cat.
