cmontheloknow Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hickey played for Celtic in 2017. No idea date of the pic but he only joined Hearts in the 17-18 season. Non story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Great and extremely interesting story on today's BBC Scotland football Gossip page that Les Ferdinand, that well known expert on Scottish football, is backing Jermaine Defoe to score the goals next season to stop Celtic's quest for 10 in a row. Thanks Les. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Ferdinand, the conversation probably went: 'do you back your old mate Defoe to continue scoring goals in Scotland?' 'Yes' 'Thanks Les, we've got everything we need.' 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the quotes so could be wrong but I'd be surprised if he said anything other than a generic comment that he'd back Defoe to do well next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always imagine the Record journalists to be like wildly enthusiastic, Simpsons style characters, tricking a big shot into a passing mention of the arse cheeks then scurrying off excitedly to feed it to their idiot readership.

Childish stuff really. We had a press conference last season to welcome new signing Laurentiu Branescu, who we had on loan from Juventus. The thing lasted about 20 minutes, and about 18 of those were from the types of journalists you describe asking him what it was like to train with Buffon and work under Conte. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the question is "are you excited about playing at Celtic Park/Ibrox". Answered with a "Yes". Headline then reads, depending on whether it was Celtic Park or Ibrox, "NEW KILLIE SIGNING DECLARES IBROX BEST STADIUM HES EVER PLAYED IN" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 It's remarkably dumb stuff. You can take just about any quote and create a clickbait headline if you're shameless enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
