I've not got a better suggestion. Starring Tom English maybe. Yes, that's annoyed me for years. The title apparently exempts English from the charge of producing bad journalism. There was actually a time when he maybe deserved an exemption, but I'm sure that wasn't the intention. He wouldn't deserve it now though.

Aim Here Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Okay, so the Scotsman headline isn't technically wrong, but 'Failing the second-stage interview for the Rangers gig' surely doesn't belong at the top of the list of Derek McInnes' identifying career landmarks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be corrected.But yes, poor journalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's only played at Tynecastle 4 times in his life despite playing in the Premiership for 8 years (13-21)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The Sun running with the headline that Celtic and Rangers will play their games South of the border because of crowd restrictions North of it, is quite a stunning lack of understanding of how International FAs work. It is The Sun though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being unkind to him, this is written by the local journalist that covers Killie, and Woodward and Bernstein he is not. Definitely a Killie fan rather than anything else though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably hold a simmering resentment to the long line of pundits/journalists who say he consistently finished 3rd with us, despite that only happening once in his very first season, below Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Soccerbase, he never played for Caley at Tynie, played twice for Aberdeen in 17/18, and twice for Celtic, one in 19/20 and the game this season. Quite surprised at that myself but he did have his injuries I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Tom English making an absolute c**t of himself on twitter in regards to Pattersons transfer fee and and Celtic fans trolling. Rather than put his hands up he’s of course doubled down as per. You would think he would have learned his lesson from Ann Budge then the Rangers ‘dossier’ to actually do some digging first before casting his opinion. Being duped by an obvious troll that hardly any Rangers fans took the bait to is rather embarrassing though. He should really take himself away from this sort of stuff being the egotistical moron that he has become.

That’s why I’m surprised Tom didn’t pick up on it. No idea who Joe Mchugh is though tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Never fails to amaze me just how thin skinned some journalists are You made a mistake, no big deal a simple correction would have done But nope, you gotta double down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every company did. That’s what the furlough scheme was. They didn’t take the loan but there’s no argument that Celtic took government funds, they were perfectly eligible to do so. The only reason Celtic didn’t take the government loan is because the conditions required them to stop paying directors bonuses, which would have resulted in Lawwell’s pay being cut significantly (and all the other directors wouldn’t be able to cash in either). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
