When the Sun meets Barry Ferguson, it maybe shouldn't surprise us that the result is incomprehensible, contradictory drivel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does read a lot like Barry confused himself in the internal conflict over being Lewis' Uncle and a staunch Rangers man, resulting in the nonsensical verbal diarrhoea contained in that article. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I think the first quote is meant to be Barry Ferguson quoting McGregor, then the second is just Barry's opinion. That's the only way I can make sense of it anyway. It initially looks like only the first couple of quotes were from Ferguson & McGregor's conversation but, it then seems to flit between that and Ferguson's comments to the Sun reporter wihtout actually clarifying what's been said by who. It's terrible journalism either way. ETA: Reading it again it seems less like that. I've no idea...

It's terrible journalism either way. That explanation would make sense, but it doesn't really read that way at all, given the quotes that sit either side of it, which very clear belong to Barry Ferguson himself. You're right that it's terrible journalism either way, but I think the real way to make sense of it is to recognise the difficulty Ferguson has when striving to make sense.

The Sun may just have made up all the quotes anyway, as if they were really from Barry surely they would all start with "Listen...." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone was having a bet in the office he wouldn't even read it before signing it off. They probably have him two options for an answer and he either was too thick to realise and signed off on both or they just ignored what he said and printed it all by mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'd like to see how the league would look without vile bigots and cheats. We'd be comfortably top IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Interesting couple of links above. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47229607Not bad for someone who insists football...will always come second to his day job and his studies. That'll be third then. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/17418382.how-tony-blair-ruined-scottish-football/They had three options; they could not play at all, they could find the money to book a pitch for an hour, or they could sneak in. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most youngsters choose the latter option. That's the latter of three. Wanted - journalists for leading media organisations. Ability in English not needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
