Two things. One, it's not "fine", and two, the headline automatically raises the temperature beyond any point of redemption later on in the piece. It is evidently clear what the DR is doing, it's anger porn and clickbait and the DR (not on it's own) has been doing this sort of shit for years. To suggest that this piece is benign is being naive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fair to say that the quotes from albertz were probably fairly benign but let’s not pretend he wasn’t specifically asked about the durrant incident and the article is basically as you describe it.

We've seen a similar type of article from this rag, and others like it, nearly every time we've hosted a team from Govan for at least the last 25-30 years. As @Ricmentions, it's directed at a Sevco audience. A national newspaper is reviewing a Scottish League fixture like it's the good guys going to some Mafia-riddled backwater in the North Caucasus (no offence meant to the North Caucasus region just an example of how the Scottish (and indeed, British) football media has a tendency to portray 'foreign'). Besides, although Albertz admits in the article that his information is coming from biased source ("the Scottish boys") and admits that he "doesn't know if the rivalry was as bad before the tackle" ("the Scottish boys" have obviously provided him a one-sided perspective), the reader is invited to accept THAT (another irritation where they always describe it as thus) tackle was pretty much the foundation of the "hatred". Where's the balance? If it was a Gruesome Twosome match we'd get POV lies from both sides. There 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Charlie Nicholas is actually yer da Quote CHARLIE NICHOLAS has called out former Celtic target Riley McGree as "greedy" after the midfielder turned down a move to Ange Postecoglou’s side. The Australian was close to joining the Parkhead side but instead signed for Middlesbrough. The 23-year-old already has a relationship with the Celtic manager who handed him his first Australia call-up. Speaking to the Daily Express, Nicholas said: “A lot of people are asking why Riley McGree would pick Middlesbrough over Celtic. "It looks like the player got greedy. Money is simply more important to him at this stage in his career. “The bottom line is that Celtic could have signed McGree and, 12 or 18 months down the line, he could well have been agitating for another move. “Celtic wouldn’t have found out the lad’s character had they not been involved in this transfer saga, so maybe it has worked out in their favour. “Ange Postecoglou has won over the Celtic players and the last thing he needs is to have a player causing friction behind the scenes. “People are buying into what the manager is doing, he has already won the first piece of silverware up for grabs and this Celtic squad is only going to get stronger. “I liked the way Postecoglou dealt with the McGree transfer setback. “He came out and made it clear that he is only interested in dealing with players who want to be at Parkhead. “It was a thinly-veiled dig at his young compatriot. It wasn’t quite on the scale of the infamous Maurice Johnston transfer but there was certainly a bit of intrigue about it. “Postecoglou said he had spoken to McGree himself and it looked like he had got assurances from the lad that he was coming. “The only question I was asking was why Postecoglou felt he needed another midfielder. “David Turnbull will be back from injury soon and they already have a lot of options in that area. “Postecoglou said last week that he has nothing else in the pipeline but I think he will do more business before the transfer window closes, especially if he offloads some fringe players.” Edited January 22, 2022 by GNU_Linux 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There was a BBC article the other day describing Duncan Ferguson as a former Everton defender. Even by their standards, that was a howler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However unlikely it is, I think they are just going off the reports in Italy to be fair to them. Seems like the rumour gained traction when an Italian Sky Sports journo tweeted it and now Fabrizio Romano has mentioned it. He is currently odds on to join Rangers with most bookies. It's ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 What @AJF is saying is right. It's being picked from an Italian report this morning. I mean, I can't see it actually happening. Rangers could afford, what, less than 10% of his weekly wage? In saying that, I'm sure he'd get on far better playing for Rangers than wasting his time with non-entities like Burnley or Crystal Palace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
