 Sky have paid little attention to anyone but the OF. I can’t even remember them showing a game this season that didn’t involve one of them. 

They did in the first month when there were no games in England.

There were six matches selected not involving the OF - Hibs were selected 4 times.

Since the leagues resumed in England they have shown 20 games , 19 have had one or both of the OF playing with the only exception being Kilmarnock v Aberdeen on the afternoon of the Scottish cup final in December.

The next 7 scheduled games all involve the OF and there is no game selected yet for the 20th of March but that has to the Celtic v Rangers.

Thus going into the split , Hamilton, Livingston and St Mirren have yet to be shown in a game not involving either Celtic or Rangers.

Post split they have up to 8 games left to select. 1 will be the final old firm, 1 will be the trophy presentation so that does seem to leave some room for some of the relegation or European head to heads to be shown or will they just show every OF teams game and run out of games.

Hopefully this c**t who has always had a chip on his shoulder finally gets emptied.

It's a bizarre (but not out of character) rant from Leckie. I'm sure you could draw some racist connotations but seems more to me like an absolute yer da yelling at cloud moment. Citing Phil Thompson etc as quality output is particularly stupid.

I find it bizarre that he is ranting about a guy with no football experience yet he is in pretty much the same position? Anyway I wasn't even aware the odious orc was still a journalist but hopefully he gets phased out at least after this.

I don't think he sat down to write something racist but I don't think that column gets written that way (inc. box ticking) for some straight white YouTuber*

Bill Leckie's dating profile from a good few year ago was tagged in the comments.

Remember that from the old days. Think it's well over a decade old now.

The final paragraph is wholly out of order. The rest does indeed sound like yer da pish, in particular re Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson. Having said that, there's a grain of a point in there that I agree with. Using Football Manager stats when referring to players and referencing clowns like Arsenal Fan TV constantly is obviously what Sky want to do, so they can charge on. It makes me (and Bill Leckie evidently) feel old, but there you go.

Possibly but I'm not a great fan of speculating on stuff like that.

The article is a steaming pile of shite aimed at, well, readers of the Sun. I'm not sure it warrants much more said about than that.
