Dons_1988 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 McDonald is a decent pro who gives his all for the team that pays his wages, if he wants to talk aboot sellick then that's up to him. If Motherwell fans are ok with it then fine.But he is paid to represent them and Motherwell as a club. I don't always think players respect that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I've not read McDonald's quotes but presumably he's been asked the question by the press having recently played both sides. Personally I don't think he's saying anything controversial by pointing out that Rangers are nowhere near Celtic's level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was even more horrific than expected and I was disappointed in Tommy allowing himself to basically be used to promote the bigot brothers. <snip for brevity> I can't get too annoyed by TalkSport, as it's literally another country's radio station; the only reason they mention us at all is in the hope of snaring a percentage of Glasgow listeners by sooking their arses. Brazil keeps his job by being a comfortable stereotype of the addled Glaswegian. BBC Sport have no such excuse for their lack of interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it is a radio station that thrives on winding people up. It is literally their raison d'etre. Can't let yourself get angry at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are currently better than us, seems fair enough to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like it to me - those sort of tweets are certainly still missing from my timeline (as they should be).

Austin McCann Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The media will be full of Leigh Griffiths cheating for the next 7/10 days. They'll wheel out lots of rent a gobs and get torn in about the wee cheat. I can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Not really the journalist at fault here admittedly, but I've just finished reading an aninterview in today's Sun with the loathsome little odd-ball Fergus McCann. He rips into the rest of Scottish football for hating the Old Firm - the hand that feeds us all apparently. He uses Kilmarnock as an example. "What do they bring to the game?" "The only time in my time in Scotland when Kilmarnock filled it's park was one game against Celtic". So in Fergus' world, Kilmarnock should shut up and show a bit more gratitude for Celtic (and Rangers) hoovering up the vast majority of their local support and for all the trouble they bring to Rugby Park. He then goes on to say ..."as for expelling Rangers from the league, how smart was that?". - where to even start with such a blatant inaccuracy As much as such articles have me seething, I take great delight in showing them to Old Firm fans who dismiss the "two cheeks, same arse theory". Celtic and Rangers are basically the same club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic and Rangers are basically the same club. That "interview" with The Sun is lifted from yesterday's Sportsound. The quotes are exactly what appeared in the 50 minute podcast, which was I believe the full interview that was done for Scotland's Game last week. More and more papers seem to be lifting stuff from Sportsound and the like and passing it off on their own - although usually it's only a wee story rather than a full page. At least they haven't had the cheek to label it "exclusive". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic and Rangers are basically the same club. He's a businessman and as such has tunnel vision to that effect.If you see football as nothing more than a commercial pursuit then what he says is probably factually true.Of course we know football is and should be far more than that, his lack of understanding for the football fan is ultimately summed up by his quote that 'why did we expel rangers? To follow some sort of football rules?'Says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
