PauloPerth Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 A lot of folk on here saying they previously liked Tom English etc. I didn't particularly. Hes always had a huffiness about him when someone disagrees and puts up a good counter argument on sportsound. I've never heard him accept he's wrong or acknowledge a different opinion as valid, and this is just another example of it. Some posters were mentioning Derek Ferguson a couple of pages back; not the most eloquent at times but he does make some really insightful comments and observations when they're discussing Scottish football matters. Things from the point of view of someone who's actually been in the game. English is the exact opposite. I've felt at times he gets treated with far more reverence and respect because he is articulate, when he often is speaking a lot without saying much, or, as in this instance, havering pish. For balance, I did enjoy his recent article on Tommy Wright, well written. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 The first time I paid attention to English was during the Lance Armstrong scandal. He was genuinely brilliant there. Now he seems to be desperately searching for another institutional scandal to expose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He done two in the past week whilst he was live on the air. Fucking hell. Just listening there, it was Murdoch MacLennan he was talking about, nae Doncaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Marinello said: Listened to tonight`s BBC podcast and I am beside myself with the direction it took. First of all the MAJORITY vote which at 64% is pretty sizeable was given hardly any acknowledgement nor was the vote by definition seen for what it was namely that the bulk of clubs did not believe an inquiry was necessary. Instead what we got was an over concentration on those in the minority. Yup lets note their discontent but c`mon lets get a grip! Meanwhile aside from Mc Intyre`s bombastic and sensationalised questions which were clearly geared towards continually pointing the finger at the SPFL board we then had Tom English!!!! Clearly pissed off that that his `take` on the conflict has now run aground he came out with the clearly inferred view that the clubs behind the resolution were acting in the best interests of Scottish football. Not only is this tripe as even the most objective fan knows that Rangers and Hearts to name but 2 have had their own vested interests in the conflict [which of course are unconnected with the welfare of others] , but more importantly he again chose tonight not to address these interests in any shape or form. That these `elephant in the room interests` did not get the attention they deserved in the podcast nor indeed did the known widespread view held by many fans that the SPFL would be well within their rights to now initiate disrepute charges against Rangers for their actions and comments throughout , simply leaves me with the view that the BBC coverage is not fit for purpose. Gone is balance and an avoidance of taking on the real issues. Indeed I`m left with the feeling that the BBC has been neutered preferring instead to pussy foot on the issues that matter . Journalists of the standard of Ian Archer and Hugh Mc Ilvanney will be turning in their grave. Gone?! When was it ever there?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked him to have added how he sees this as even remotely possible. He probably wants to ride Judy Finnigan too the sexy old fucker. Neither is probably realistic while tricky dicky Madeley and the Coronavirus are around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It’s hilarious how much of a slap down Inverness and their ***/diet *** leader took yesterday.

On a serious point for a moment, SG has been given a platform and free reign by the BBC (and particularly Tom E) to make some pretty serious allegations toward Doncaster, McLennan, Dunfy and others. It seems very clear from the votes in the Championship yesterday (outside ICT) that the clubs dont agree at all with his allegations and they didnt want an inquiry. Even ICT fans on here think this guy has lost his mind. I have no idea what SG motives were outside of looking to gain a promotion, but he and his chairman deserve to be kicked up and down the A9 for giving oxygen to the Rangers shitshow.

Dons_1988 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hopefully we can now move on from this nonsense. The decision has effectively been taken. Celtic have won, Hearts are down. The SPFL are still a basket case. The immediate priority is survival of the game now, and I'm not averse to assistance being given to relegated clubs. They have been dealt a shite hand, without question. Once this is all over, the SPFL really should be looked at from top to bottom, starting with their rule book. Darryl Broadfoot nailed it really on Sportsound the other night, the governance structure was put in place by the clubs and the clubs need to change it to future proof the league against another situation like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think I had any partisan interest in that vote yesterday because Aberdeen supported it then you are wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
