On one point on tuesday night the rangers fans started chanting 'Chris Sutton you're a w****r.' It's incredible to draw that much heat without kicking a ball or having any role in rangers being so shit this season. Matter of time before they do a 'boycott' over general BT Sport anti Rangers bias even though they have probably shown Rangers more than any football team on earth over the last 4 years. Fair play for him to still have the balls to go to Ibrox despite a good number of them wanting to kick his head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Take your low self esteem and insecurities elsewhere Robert. So along with being a thick c**t, a knicker wetter and a little creep you think it's funny to banish people with low self esteem? Poor Bennett, one of life's losers.

vikingTON Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Johnstone presented himself as an easy target throughout and it wasn't hard for Sutton - or anybody with the guts to do it - to dismantle him: he picked the interview well.

7-2 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm another convert to Sutton. Couldn't stand him as he was as boring and wooden as his Soccer AM appearance when he first started but he's come a long way. He still obviously puts the contrary stuff on at times but it's outweighed by the rest. He certainly knows more about non-Old Firm teams and players than the BBC/Sky cronies added together. BT's Scottish coverage is great. I was expecting the same old same old before I watched it but have been impressed, like others, at the build up and analysis of the games not involving the Old Firm, treating them all equally and virtually no superfluous bigot brothers mentions every 5 minutes. I've even taken to Darell Currie who initially looks and sounds like he should be a Rangers man but having seen him a few times now I couldn't tell even if he is. I think it speaks volumes that Currie, the excellent Derek Rae and even Sutton work on more than just Scottish football, Sutton doing BBC stuff too. That says a lot about their abilities. The difference in quality with BT using professionals whilst the others use mainly Old Firm sycophantic jakies is blatantly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same Tom English who refused to criticise Rangers for posing with pictures on the pitch with a Loyalist Flute band before the Linfield game right? Not only that but who went on to defend them and made the band out to be some cross community band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Some interesting points on this thread. I'll admit to sharing the same sentiments as many others before me - I found Chris Sutton to be insufferable when he first started appearing on BT Sport, particularly as a co-commentator during Celtic's awful European campaign last season, but he comes across pretty well these days and he's entertaining. I can understand why people would dislike him but that's probably more to do with the way he makes his points rather than the points themselves. They're generally insightful and well argued. It's about time someone in the media called out Derek Johnstone for what he is and Sutton got it bang on. Johnstone is a glad-handing yes man and happy enough to tow the party line at Ibrox so's not to upset anyone or have his VIP seat taken from him, regardless of how dire the situation is (Ally McCoist's awful management and the shocking stewardship of Craig Whyte and Charles Green, for instance). There is, sadly, still a place for guys like DJ in Scotland's media - there's elements of the Rangers support who will want to read nice things about their club from someone they respect, and Johnstone fills that role with his Evening Times column - but I do wish Radio Clyde would wise up to the fact he isn't taken seriously by anyone outwith the dimmest recesses of Rangers' fanbase and think about pensioning him off, for the credibility of their coverage more than anything else. BT Sport is becoming a good watch and there's a genuine chemistry with guys like Stephen Craigen and Michael Stewart (and credit must go to Darrell Currie's steady anchoring of the show). It's now can't miss - you don't dare switch the channel immediately after the game's over in case something wild happens post match. I don't think this kind of punditry is all that revolutionary, though - all you need to do is to look back at some of Eamon Dunphy's highlights on RTE from the last 10 years to see some real incendiary comment and analysis. I feel like we're just catching up. As for the brer earlier in the thread who claimed that Adrian Durham was a decent pundit, have a word with yourself! Adrian Durham is a shock jock in truest sense. All he does is come away with awful, obnoxious claims, mostly without context or fact, with the sole aim of riling up the thick and the ignorant to phone up his show and make money for talkSPORT. You'd have to be a little slow to get reeled in by him or, worse, believe he's entertaining. For shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 He's a great heel. I didn't like him to start with (and his appearances on the MOTD series of programmes are usually disastrous) but his bluntness is TV gold. And the trolling of Derek "Dee Jay" Johnstone in the audio clip is some outstanding work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Asap Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I wasn't a fan of Sutton at all until this season. I think his punditry only works when he's someone to bounce off and that's why his commentary has been superb this season because he's always doing it with Craigan or Stewart. The fact everybody is talking about his punditry in Scottish football can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad part is, you didn't even realise it. Going as far to point out I'd posted on the Morton v Aberdeen thread. Just shows your glaring stupidity that you couldn't put 2 + 2 together to see I was highlighting your sheer hypocrisy.Oh & sad act is two separate words. Happy to be of assistance.
