Salvo Montalbano Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Some top trolling by the BBC this morning as a Scottish Premiership Predictor game is launched on the website, despite this weekend being, what, round 5 of fixtures? It's the exact same format and layout as the English Premiership game which started in the first week of that league. I wonder if the lunchtime game this weekend has anything to do with it. It's like they're not even trying now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 14 hours ago, Malcolm Malcolm said: It's revealing when listening to current journalists on stuff like The Fitba Hacks that next to none of them describe guys like that amongst their influences. I suppose it's a bit like how young political journalists never mention someone like Neal Ascherson but absolutely love buffoons they know personally like Euan McColm. Hugh McIlvanney is an amazing writer but it's made even better by the fact that for some reason Piers Morgan hates him. Latest episode of the Fitba Hacks is with that moron David Edgar who used to be the spokesman for the Rangers Supporters Trust. It's exactly what you'd expect from the gibbering fool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well colour me stunned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Not a good few days for Mr Hartson. He seemsto be the latest media darling though, appearing on BBC and BT and writing newspaper columns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 17 hours ago, Malcolm Malcolm said: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37289352 Unchallenged pish from Hartson at the end there. Fir Park doesn't even hold 18,000. John seems like a decent guy but imagine thinking a stadium you played in and visited repeatedly is that much bigger than it actually is. Motherwell average league att. at Fir Park. 4,588. John Hartson wrong by 88. Celtic average league att. at Fir Park. 9,005. John Hartson wrong by 8,995. So Hartson has exaggerated Celtic's influence on attendance by 50%. Kind like someone asking you how tall you are and saying "I'm 12 feet tall". He was standing next to Neil Doncaster, so it might be that stupidity is contagious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly what you'd expect from the gibbering fool That's a pretty extreme example, though. The rest of it is a who's who of Scottish football journalism, and none of them seem that interested in writing. Jackson, unsurprisingly, goes as far as to say that actually being able to write isn't that important, which is probably why it's such a playground for thick dickheads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's no surprise. It just confirms the blinkered, small minded outlook of the pundit's foisted upon us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That Hartson article is surely a piss take. Surely? What an utter pile of horseshit that is. It's rare to find fault with almost every sentence in an article but that one pushes it close 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yeah can't agree with that. Berahino (from the outside looking in) seems to be getting his just rewards for spitting the dummy out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
