Thought introducing themselves as Andrew Neil and Fiona Bruce was quite good, don't see why they should down tools on behalf of Lineker though, I'm sure his BT contract will see him through these difficult times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squalor Vic Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Cowan turning the Lineker story into 'remember I got grief 10 year ago for slagging womens fitba, Lineker and Shearer never backed me up' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 See a Livingston MP brought up Tam Cowan in parliament this week around the hypocrisy that there was an uproar about Gary Linekers tweet but nothing about Tam Cowan sharing a video of drunk women falling over on international womans day on Instagram Its like complaining that someone has retweeted a Greenpeace post about banning whaling but not condemned Brian Burnett for having a fish supper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Bardell was on Off The Ball quite recently. I've watched the clip from the HOC and without knowing the context or even the logic, I'm at a loss to understand why she thought that was in any way worthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real story is what Tam said/did in the studio that left her seething enough to try throwing him under the bus on such a flimsy pretext. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's funny, the more some people look to take offence, the more they find it. Just misplaced whining on her part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post craigkillie Posted March 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2023 Cowan's Instagram is absolutely horrendous, full of the very worst yer da jokes and absolutely dripping in misogyny. I think there's a very fair point in there about why the BBC's social media guidelines don't seem to extend to Scotland - you also had Steven Thompson making what basically amounted to a homophobic joke the other week. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time I’ve heard “Thommo” accused of homophobia. I actually had to block Cowan’s Instagram. I was finding myself looking at it like some sort of voyeur. People from the BBC have to seen it as well and I can’t believe no-one has had a word with him about what often amounts to bigotry.

This, completely reeks of the misogyny and light-homophobia. Can someone please teach him how to use Instagram Stories properly, he doesn't need to put a song on every single post. Stewart, Cosgrove and Cowan get away with what they like as they'll be seen as "freelance contributors". BBC Scotland are so small-time that as long as no-one says anything overtly politically (on-air) surrounding the constitution then they'll be fine. Even then Levein got away with slagging Sturgeon. Thompson (and Leanne Crichton) however, are effectively like Lineker, a pan-BBC (Scotland) figure, and should be probably held to higher standard. But then again, this is a broadcaster that had Graeme Spiers, who spends his days supporting every sexist and homophobe, appear as an expert on homophobia in Zander Murray's new documentary.

Highland Capital Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 If you really want to have a look down a rabbit hole, have a look at Paul Mitchell’s Twitter, especially his likes. An absolute hellscape. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingermunkie Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I appreciate there’s another conversation going on, but I just caught up with the podcast from the weekend, and seen as at least one of Stuart and Tam lurk here… FAO Stuart you can’t “baby sit” your own kid, it’s called parenting. Absolutely does my tits in when other dads (it’s always always dads) call their own responsibilities baby sitting. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 What a pathetic fud. Can't take any criticisms and to post someone's picture trying to doxx them is completely unacceptable. Hi Tam 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
