TheScarf Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Now I realise every Scottish football hack reads this forum, and definitely this thread, but that's beyond parody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Rangers arse-licker who's only care is who the latest 'marquee' signing is, and what Gary Lineker and Gary Neville think of the Old Firm games.

Yes, McKeown is a Catholic and a Celtic fan. To my mind, media figures with a Celtic background are as bad if not worse than, those with a Rangers one. Look at the ramblings of fools like Burley and Provan. Basically, they're OF apologists. They think that the game is essentially about two clubs. Which of them they prefer, is almost immaterial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just prattlings about it being better now because his favourite team is there. That's why he likes it better - it doesn't touch on why the rest of us might though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 14 hours ago, yoda said: I'm amazed that anyone (other than himself) considered Joey "Joseph" Barton to be, at the peak of his career, anything other than a distinctly average midtable to lower-end Premier League player, filed alongside the likes of Gavin McCann and Lee Bowyer. Still he successfully reinvented himself on Twitter a few years ago so that's something. I guess. Lee Bowyer was a better player than Barton, certainly during his period playing for Leeds. You get players like this, who have a far higher media profile than their on-field achievements warrant. If Barton wasn't such a Twitter celeb then no-one would really give that much of a shit about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did.He had both feet in his mouth within minutes.The QPR and former England midfielder said the options available to the electorate in last week's polls were like a choice "between four really ugly girls". He was seeking to clarify why he had earlier described Ukip as the "best of a bad bunch". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Scottish football and our top league needs Rangers Quote the Glasgow giant is back Quote With four Old Firm games ahead, people from outside these shores will look in with interest once again Quote But now we have normality restored in the Premiership I most enjoyed the world-class logical fallacy where within 2 sentences he points out that loads of clubs have won silverware in recent seasons and then talks about how the "malaise" has set in I must have missed the malaise on the streets of Dingwall, Inverness, Perth, Edinburgh, Aberdeen etc over the past few years as open top buses were on their way round. The only people who have been showing signs of malaise over the past few years have been one-note hacks who neither had the imagination nor the interest to capture a time where, with cups and high league finishes being shared around, we all got a glimpse of what life outside "normality" was like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 As good a place as any to share this. Quote Scottish broadcaster Bill Leckie, keeping fit in Rio, was delighted to find a state-of-the-art Wattbike in his hotel gym. He altered the settings and was pedalling away when in walked former Tour de France winner Vincenzo Nibali, who was not overly impressed that his carefully set up exercise bike had been commandeered. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-3728391/Rio-Olympics-2016-athletics-venue-s-temporary-seating-not-fully-tested-ahead-track-field-event.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
