sjc Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Just listened to the "does Scottish football need the Old Firm" Podcast......Fucking hell! where to even begin with that pish. Tom English was the only one remotely objective in the discussion. If Scotlands National game depends upon a rivalry built on Religious intolerance what does that say about Scottish society in 2016? Tragic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I genuinely thought that it would be the Rangers supporters that would be the most insufferable about them being back but the media in general seem to be the ones in full "told you so" and the coverage has been completely disproportionate. The state of the BBC Scottish football homepage for example - can anyone spot a theme? It's almost as if the mental effort of having to write/talk about other stuff over the past 4 years was just too much, leading to them spaffing as much dismal OF w**k as they can. Only a couple of months until the next one.... To be fair though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic. I didn't mind a lot of what Speirs had to say, i felt he at least attempted to give the point some valid consideration from a non-of centric view. He landed somewhere in the middle IMO which is no doubt a sacking offence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickening Wish us 40 Diddy Clubs could exterminate the cnuts. You could have. It's only 4 years since Rangers were exterminated and the majority of Scottish football decided that we needed this fixture. Rangers were dead, gone. The Diddy Clubs (and Celtic) gave them life because they wanted this. It's sickening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Sportsound, and indeed BBC Scotland, have been a disgrace for a while now. This week is just the icing on the cake. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. They won't b tho. Feels very much like they are being deliberately over the top to try to teach diddies a lesson for them having to acknowledge non of football for 4 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Not Sportsound but unfortunately had to listen to Clyde on the way home last night as the taxi driver had it on. Asked him at 617pm to turn it off when the so called pundit Derek Johnstone said that he didn't even know any of the other games on in the Scotland today. The other commentator stated we will talk about them later.... I think. Decided at that point to never listen to it again. Driver took exception but understood my reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 What in the name of the wee man is Scott Davie doing in broadcasting updates on games in England when he is supposed to be giving all of his energy in sharing the best of our Scottish game. Aberdeen v Inverness has nothing whatever to do with Burnley and I cringe for his and the BBC's complancency 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Listening to yesterdays podcast. I am so sick of this rhetoric coming from pundits (Rangers leaning) when asked 'What is a realistic aim for Rangers this season?' The answer I've heard thousands of times (possibly exaggerating) is 'well it's Glasgow Rangers, the aim is first, anything else is unacceptable' Yes but, your team is miles behind Celtic, what is a realistic aim. 'It's Glasgow rangers, it has to be 1st' FFS just give an honest, realistic answer! Rant over 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 ex Premiership players they've signed must be hoovering up £50K a week and are done. Saying we hope to finish above Aberdeen and Hearts with that in mind basically says we've done it again and Rangers 2016 under King might as well be Rangers 2010 Under Murray. Huge wage bill on players that are not very good and no resale value. Keep that ST money coming boys. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies to Pat, County should have signed Suarez when they had the chance. I've never understood that logic. Qualify for the CL every season and you will play teams like that week in, week out. It's their own shitebag performances in qualifying that's to blame if he wants to use that excuse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have it both ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
