Am I being an overly sensitive snowflake or does using phrases like red hot atmosphere and even hotter for Celtic seem a bit inappropriate to describe anything Greek at the moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fucking year. To be fair, The Athens Mirror is probably running articles about the CESSPIT of SECTARIAN HATE that AEK fans will face on the streets of Glasgow where clerics are DEFILED and innocent members of the public are ATTACKED for crossing the road during parades commemorating a 17th Century Dutch homosexual. And where stadium seats are SMASHED in an orgy of VIOLENCE by weedy teenagers with badly spelled banners and Free Palestine badges.

Darren Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 3 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: That's fair enough. You're right that both have a place but it's dispiriting that the tabloids reach so many more people, even if they're in decline. The thing I find most annoying isn't even the fault of the tabloids or their readers, and that's how the same sort of journalistic style seeps into other media. The most notable and inexcusable example of this concerns the football output of BBC Radio Scotland. The dumbing down of Radio Scotland's football coverage is infuriating. The national broadcaster should absolutely be above that, it's part of its public service remit to educate and inform after all. 2 hours ago, HaikuHibee said: You're having us on? This must be your kryptonite, or a horror show. Or in your language. You were SLAMMED by ANGRY fans, in SHOCK footie thread.
