Presumably Andy Cameron is the compère, and the night will be rounded off with a set from one (but not both) of the Proclaimers. Always good to get an ex referee along to tell everyone about how they found it hard not to sing along to The Billy Boys while refereeing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times change and back then he was considered a good booking for many a gentleman’s dinner as his booking fee of some £3000 iirc shows . You can’t command those sort of fees if nobody wants to hear you speak . It’s all about opinions I suppose and after a good dinner and plenty of booze , yes I found his inane chat and stories amusing and no homophobia as far as I recall , whether I would want to spend time with him outside of that environment and after his most recent comments ? I’m certain that would be a no from me now. I wouldn’t go around calling people cretins for attending charity evenings , yes I was aware who was “ on the bill” and yes I could have bought a ticket and not gone , but I chose to attend as there were other people in my company to consider and at that time McAvennie as I said was a crowd pleaser . It’s very easy to retrospectively examine the company ,however fleeting ,you sometimes kept but to make rash judgements on my beliefs based on that is very poor IMO I didn't call anyone a cretin for attending a charity event. I just said that only a cretin could find McAvennie entertaining when he speaks. Your stuff about changing times and sensibilities is valid enough generally, but it doesn't apply here, because McAvennie has always been a tiresome idiot.

wastecoatwilly Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Not only that, but transfer consultant Ian McGarry has claimed that a conversation with Andy Robertson has pushed his fellow left-back closer to the exit door. “The second thing that has changed for Kieran Tierney is speaking to his international teammate Andy Robertson,” McGarry said on the Transfer Window. “Having won the Champions League at the end of last season, he’s told Tierney ‘look, don’t default your career for the sake of staying at the club you support’.” Andy Robertson's reply tonight on twitter was "lot of rubbish" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Can I call any article asking a 69 year old like Arsene Wenger if he wants to go back to work? In the real world we ask people of that age how they are enjoying their retirement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The National has a weekly column (not usually about sport) like that written in what the authors claim is Scots. It's laughable. There's a good parody account of one of the contributors on Twitter, although at times it's hard to tell if the posts are a wind-up or real National articles: https://twitter.com/rabwilson11 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Oooft...the decline of Tom English, BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Writer" continues apace. Surely knowing how the Olympics works is page 1 for anyone who is described as a (general) "sports writer"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Tom English is an absolute parody of himself now. Constantly getting involved in twitter spats due to the ridiculous arguments he tries to make and comes across as a very petty individual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Fair play to the Daily Record transfer blog for mentioning Berwick Rangers but someone should probably tell them that Berwick are no longer a League Two club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
