The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread


Recommended Posts

Haven’t seen it mentioned on here before but I had the misfortune of catching a few minutes of the ‘Go Radio’ football show the other night as I flicked through my stations. The only two voices I recognised were Barry Ferguson and Rob McLean, truly a meeting of two minds. It made super scoreboard sound like Steven Hawking explaining string theory.

Billy Stark never played in Aberdeens UEFA Cup Winners Cup Triumph

Frank McGarvey never played a first team game for Liverpool

And Willie Miller was never World Class unless being a c**t counts. 

Best referee I ever saw

Old Willie's media image has done his legacy no favours. But he was one of the greatest penalty box tacklers ever - no doubt of that. Being part of a settled defensive partnership for such a long time helped boost his World Classiness rating. As for his refereeing skills - he was the club Captain. Surely  part of that role should be to question decisions and show a bit of attitude, something lacking in too many players in that job in most clubs? (If only Aberdeen had such a Captain today, eh?).

Still, he does need to go and enjoy his retirement well away from a microphone.

Don’t be unkind. Pat ‘technical panel’ bonner’s brain can’t cope with anything beyond ‘if Celtic didn’t win, rangers did’.

3-0 is a thrashing now 🤔

It was four, but now it appears only three goals are required for a thrashing. 

How long before teams are getting 'thrashed' two nil? 

 

I clearly need to get out more I think :)

That did jump out at me a as a bit jarring too.

One for Adam Hurrey and the Football Cliches Appeal Panel, methinks.
