madmitch Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 In my humble opinion, Kevin McCarra back in the day was much better than Tom English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCityHibee Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Really enjoy his 'outlook' on our game, and the fact he isnt Scottish or a Bigot Brother has been a bonus. His hubris, undeniably , has been this recent unpleasant business of trying to give Shan Budge a bawhum. Him and Mikey Stewart are the only ones worth bothering about in Scottish football media circles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfishtrombone Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I think he’s okay. He is one of the better ones and I don’t think he has an agenda. As has previously been mentioned he has probably went all in on the bullying nonsense without any credible evidence and has missed a few opportunities to back down on it. The reaction to him on here has been far more extreme than anything he has tweeted or published. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Day Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Sportsound in general feels like a poorly run nursery on open all mikes which is the one that gets most listeners. I understand that Craig Paterson left because he didnt like the format. Since then there have been some fairly poor contributors brought in - Alan Preston is perhaps the worst example. There have been successes, Derek Ferguson clearly loves his football, and its great that he is so positive about his local club and doesnt just see the world revolving round Rangers. Against that fairly poor backdrop, anyone who can string a sentence together - like Michael Stewart and Tom English - sounds plausible and refreshing. That doesnt mean that Tom English views on Scottish football are right and cant be challenged. He has backed the wrong horses recently but his massive ego doesnt allow him to back down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1) He backed the "explosive Rangers dossier" which demonstrated "bullying and coercion by the SPFL" - this has been shown to be nonsensical and the prime stooge in this - Scott Gardiner - to be a fantasist who has no back up to his claims, or credibility among the Championship clubs he claimed were witness to the bullying.

Anne Budge read the signs wrongly and Hearts paid the price..........(I personally didn't fancy a 14,14,14 set up at all) but if she had gone for a long term change she just may have gotten the support she needed. However she was so sure she had the backing (god knows why) that she made it clear this was just for one year and to save Hearts, I guess she was wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I used to think that English was decent when he started out but over the years he’s been dragged down to the standard of the rest of the Scottish football media. I can’t remember exactly what the situation was but it was last year I noticed that he was coming out with stuff on Twitter that was just bizarre and really illogical reasoning from someone who should be capable of understanding reason. It’s just like this situation. Whatever the feeling towards the SPFL, Rangers, reconstruction etc it’s clear that the way Rangers went about this was awful and it completely undermined their valid arguments and therefore, the vote itself. That English can’t seem to see that or understand what’s happened is just bizarre. That he doubles down and attacks people on Twitter when they don’t agree is completely wrong from a BBC employee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
