Gordon Ramsay’s new F-Up and and F#$%king Liar is how the News of the World have reported this story about Gordon Ramsay’s claims about playing fopr the Glasgow Rangers football team as a teenager.

Normally I would doubt anything this trash mag has to say, but instead of naming wanna-be’s who are trying to make a name for themselves or ‘anonymous friends’ they have public sources testifying. Some of these include Marco Pierre White (though they don;t seem to quote him, just account a statement to him), an alleged respected Rangers historian Robert McElroy, Rangers coach Archie Knox, John Hagart at Rangers, a photographer who took the team photo that has appeared in public so many times and an allegedely official Rangers spokesman.

Another comment which Marco Pierre-White supposedly made about Gordon Ramsay and was relayed via his ghost-writer was that “Ramsay was nicknamed ‘Billy Bulls**t’ by those he worked with”

At the end of the day, he may have told a lie that got a little out of hand, but who cares? To me it’s a bit like the Bramley Apple stunt that we saw in Gordon Ramsay’s Boiling Point – a bit of fun, but after a while he may have just painted himself into a corner. Either way, he is still a brilliant cook and a great entertainer – I’m sure the original source has had similar claims levelled at them many, many times more!

I’m linking to the page now, reluctantly – you could probably find a story anywhere – but here is the original source.

F-ing liar!

It seems like we’ve heard from everyone else but the man himself – but not directly. I won’t claim to have any new insight into the situation, just merely collecting all of the little bits of information that are floating around.

It seems the first statements from Gordon, reportedly came during a cooking demonstration and tells us that he still has his trademark sense of humour. Numerous sources have reported (although media were allegedly banned from the event) that during the show Gordon joked a number of times about the situation. Among these lines were;
“What a week I’ve had. My Mum is in here tonight so I’m on my best behaviour, ooh la la. Oh f%$k it. I didn’t do it Mum, I love you.”
“I have been up close and personal with Mrs Smith – Delia. I got in there…. She gave me a book about how to cheat – but I didn’t think anything of it at the time…. I wanted to show her my spotted dick recipe.”
“I have had a mattress arriving this week, everyone thought it was because I had to sleep in the basement. “Mattress, mistress, mattress, what a load of bull$@#*.”

But my personal favourite is “If things go wrong and something slips out like ‘Oh f%$k me’, I don’t mean it literally. It’s because it’s gone wrong,” he joked.

Numerous other stories about apologies, admissions and holiday cancellations have all been from un-named friends (we all need friends like that!!) and haven’t to date been verified.

In the latest exchange, in response to Sarah Symonds exclusive (cha-ching) to the News of the World, the UK Mirror reported that at a cooking show in Birmingham, he said “Come on, if I was really going to cheat it wouldn’t be with a complete slapper.”

In the same, story, the Mirror also reported on the latest weeks episode of Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live (which isn’t on youtube yet!) – Gordon also joked that “Can I start by saying, yes it is true, it is official – I have been shagging Delia.”

He added later: “I was watching TV last night and tuned into a new show on Channel 4 called Gordon Ramsay’s Bedroom Nightmares. “And then I switched it over to E4 – and it was Shag Along With Ramsay.”

It seems the only response has been humour – read into that what you may!
