The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread


Recommended Posts

Now that one of the Old Firm has a new manager, expect to see plenty of interviews with guys - often with the most tenuous possible connection to Scottish football - saying how wonderful the new guy is and how he'll be a great fit for them. Guaranteed to happen every time Rangers are Celtic are linked with a new player or manager but, mysteriously, you never see an interview with a guy who says they'll be pish.

To be fair to Boyd, he said it was a strange appointment.

Boydy doesn't like succulent lamb dishes anyway. It's too rich. He prefers the E numbers you get in Monster Munch.

True.  Even at shitty levels of English football.  I have a pretty good idea of where Motherwell are in the great scheme of things, so when you see fans of clubs like Yeovil giving it the 'Scottish football - pub league' chat it's both funny and depressing. 

 

We don't help ourselves though, I remember debating on here with caley fans who thought billy McKay going to Wigan was a better move than shinnie moving to pittodrie.

as you say its supporters of diddy teams like Wigan who come out with this pish to make themselves feel better.

Out of interest did anyone hear the Sutton / Durham call in just there? In work so couldn't listen.

Safe to say I'll not be listening to TalkSport. Shouty c**t.

Got to the bottom and thought I'd cast a vote for McCulloch as he's the one who's got the best rep as a coach/manager, from what I gather.

50% want Bazza Ferguson. They deserve all they get!!

Very good Daily Record, I must have imagined Saints finishing 3rd, 4th and 5th in the 80s

It will be the same as in England records before the premiership clubs broke away from the lest don't count.

I am quite sure in Private that Adrian Durham has his "real" views on Scottish Football, perhaps they are the same as the bile he spits on his show but as I said in an earlier post 99% of the time he is reading from an agreed script to try and get as much bites, reaction and anger as possible in order to get publicity for him, his show and most importantly Talksport.

I think your spot on with this, they're just looking for a reaction all the time. Plus they're pandering to their main audience which is the average English premiership fan, so they constantly put down other leagues, the Champions League etc, That, and the way they constantly put down BT's involvement and how "no one will have watched that" because its on BT and not Sky is just so obvious, and it sums up what a crass station they are.

Imagine putting down the Champions League from the perspective of the EPL.

I mean, fair enough if you're a fan of say Dutch or Danish football, much like with us sweaty Jockos, but the sheer nerve of that...

BT's football coverage is majestic, I refuse to hear otherwise
