Someone who writes for a living at the BBC seemingly baffled by the concept of holding your head high / hanging your head in shame.

Bit of a stretch too,  saying they failed at the last hurdle.  They failed at the first hurdle in both competitions they were in. They didn’t clear any of the hurdles.

 TBF "last hurdle" is correct, it's just that the last hurdle was also the first hurdle, because there was only one hurdle.  So, in summary, two separate hurdle races, each with only one hurdle.  Both of which they failed to clear.  Or something.

Howling at folk thinking Sky give the slightest c**t about Scottish football.

They probably spend more on that netball they sometimes broadcast.

Actually, this is the one game (well, one of four) they do actually care about in Scotland.

Which makes that advert all the worse. Even when they do give a shit, they still f**k it up.

i would say you and @TheScarf are somewhere in the middle, Sky care a wee bit more than other games, but viewers who were 5 feet from a St George's cross in the summer don't give a f**k about it, its actually one of the only times fans of the ugly sisters come together, they both seem to think its a spectacle everyone wants to watch, but it will have the lowest viewing figures of any game shown on Sky today

Nonsense. On derby day, the world is watching.

Journalists rightly calling out bigoted scenes today, but we all know that after a day or two of seeming like they have a backbone, they will all revert to type and kneel before the Rantic by the end of the week.

Waiting for the day one if them has the balls to directly ask the questions of the likes of Gerrard what HE thinks about his teams fans singing.

It's not limited to one side of glasgow, it is both and no amount of whataboutery justifies any of it.

If the sports journalists encountered the same behaviour in any other area of news, they would be all over it until they got answers. Imagine the news coverage if there was a march in England about Scots going home......
