So I guess that’s five pounds he’ll never see. Does he still call himself 'A Renegade Journalist'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) A couple of the audio files on his website are him talking with George Galloway. He's not a guest on Galloway's show though - just a caller in. For a freelance journalist, he doesn't seem to get published in many places and surely he isn't making a living out of his own site?

Highland Capital Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'm sure I followed him on Twitter for a while when Rangers were in the lower leagues and it was looking like they were going to go into administration again, but I unfollowed him soon after as it was excruciating. He tweeted every minute of every day - he was like Wings Over Scotland on a sugar rush! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearthammer Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Is Phil -3-names not a reference to the fact that he's changed his name 3 times to give himself a more "oirish-sounding" finale to appeal to his followers. He's Glaswegian-ish by birth and was named White/Whyte, then McGivvery (or close to) then went all full rebel with his current tag. Have read his blog a few times and he's the ultimate school dinner lady, who's scooping lots of the stuff his audience crave in grand dollops onto the favourite kids' plates. He encourages "donations" for his "scoops". His NUJ authenticity has been questioned elsewhere, but he still pushes himself forward as the "Jacksonista" on all things sevco/club/company. He's a self-serving erse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've happened upon Phil's blog a few times over the banter years and it always surprises me that he gets away with calling himself a journalist. His writing is diabolical, repetitious, and full of his own ridiculous code probably in place so he doesn't liable anyone and dubious sources, peppered with the same images over and over. Too much like hard work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 There was a poster on here a while back called Jimmy something or other who always used to say you had to be a monumental cretin to get banned from P&B. Not seen him in a while, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
