Ludo*1 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Quite separate from the terrible journalism thread, we are beginning to see more and more journalists make a c**t of themselves on Twitter. Not quite a 'journo' but David Tanner lost the plot recently blaming Dundee fans for getting relegated. Now Tom English has absolutely lost it over the past 2 days with St Mirren fans. What a welt he is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Had St Mirren lost the shootout, they could've fallen into the wilderness of the lower leagues for years, they would've lost a heck of a lot of money, they probably would've had to let staff go and obviously they wouldn't be in the top flight. I used to like Tom English but this time he's talking absolute rubbish. Of course the fans and the players should be celebrating, why shouldn't they? I know I would. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Jim "thick as mince" Spence had a meltdown last weekend when people called him out on not knowing what the Senior leagues in Scotland were, that Doric dolt Tyrone Thingy tried to back him up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason King Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Not football related but the current Private Eye has BBC cricket man Jonathan Agnew repeatedly calling someone a c**t on Twitter after it was insinuated that Aggers wasn't a fan of England calling up a black player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was complaining about the team celebrating winning the play-off like a cup final win. In theory, yes they have finished 11th and are a poor team in the league but you'd have to be a complete dolt not to understand why they were celebrating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 What gripe did English have with the St. Mirren fans?He didn't think the players should be celebrating finishing 11th place and acting like champions like we have won something.Quite a few folk calling him a w**k, clown ect than an hour later he said he was joking.Today he said Villa must have taken tips off StMirren in how to celebrate and hes getting pelters again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Another Dundee United are a "big team" despite being badly run and pish at football w**k. BBC is full of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder as it's to do with fast tracking a player into a team and possibly disrupting it a la Asprilla at Newcastle. Anyone suggesting it's got anything to do with colour and basically calling Agnew a racist is indeed a c**t. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Not long after he left the BBC in 2015, I began to notice Jim Spence was updating his Twitter bio with alarming regularity, so I began to screenshot them and collect them. In September last year, I made a short video that compiled his bios between 2017 and 2018: 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get to spout uncoordinated, rambling pish and then go 'LOLOLOLOL I TROLL YOU' when called on it. And definitely not as a journalist.
