Clearly he is a regular to this forum so in that sense... * waves * .. hiya, Tom, hiya pal! Unusually for Tom English it's a good article so it's obvious that he's lifted content from the "Chronicles of the Banter Years" thread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says “Then they lost in the Challenge Cup final to Raith Rovers. The season after that they lost in the Challenge Cup semi-final to Queen of the South”. They lost to Queens in the season before they lost to Raith Rovers. And it was the quarter-final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Just listening to Ally McCoist on Radio Ulster talking about "Rangers getting put down to the bottom league." Just for balance we then had John Hartson tying himself in knots justifying why there should be no guard of honour at the next Celtic v Rangers game. Talked about "four quadruple trebles".

Clickbait for the facebook mouthbreathers that one - and its made worse because those areas (badly hit tho the are) are not the worst hit - iirc Inverclyde (for one) has had a worse death rate............... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at uni with him and he was an arse back then. Seems things haven't changed. Nicola Sturgeon getting stuck into his Pestonesque questioning technique during her daily briefings has been one of my highlights of lockdown. Refuse to click his link (and it'll be behind a paywall anyway) but how is he claiming football stadiums are responsible for a rise in cases when they've been shut to fans for a year?

Because they hosted games right at the very start of the pandemic, basically. Even though Parkhead last hosted a game with fans when there were a total of 7 confirmed cases in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure this quite gets into the terrible camp but still typical BBC.
