A further indication that if you win games you are cool with his views but when you aren’t winning games you won’t be? PS - I’m not taking the moral high ground here if it was one of my teams players I would probably do the same. He got hounded by fans, got punished by the club for it, and is booed every time he plays for us by our fans. I've literally no idea what your point is beyond not understanding that the applause wasn't for MacPherson. A totally bizarre hill to die on when he'll be roundly booed at the weekend by the Saints support too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not dying on any hill you have already said you weren’t at the game so you are literally commenting on something that you literally didn’t see. Some of your fellow fans, who were at the game, literally commented about how Isurprised they were about the reaction McPherson got. PS - It doesn’t need to be that one of us is right and one of us is wrong, I’m just calling it as I see it. On the day your positive result led to McPherson being cheered off. I’m not blaming your fans as I’ve said I probably would’ve done the same if it was one of our players and we were 3-0 up at your place…..I’m just using that reaction to justify my earlier (tongue in cheek) comment about Jim Spence.

Some of your fellow fans, who were at the game, literally commented about how surprised they were about the reaction McPherson got. And some have said it was for Sidibeh and not MacPherson. Why are you putting more stock in those who thought it was for MacPherson than those who think it was for the guy who had scored two goals? I saw the game, and both going off the park virtually together. Sidibeh applauding the away support as he walks off while MacPherson doesn't even look over. You're clearly trying to troll, as you're doing shite efforts all over the forum just now, but this one is just outing you as strange more than anything. I hope it's worth the joy you're getting from me "biting". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_G Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 He's a wrong un and has publicly supported an even bigger wrong un who also writes for the same rag as him. He seems to be in the same milieu as others who 30-40 years ago were considered progressive then stood still as the world moved around them, fixed in their position and still demand to have that same level. Just peddles ignorant reactionary pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for trolling, as stated above it was a tongue in cheek comment about Jim Spence that you’ve chosen to go back and forth with me on. Also, was your original user name on here not The Troll? ETA - tell me more about these shite trolling efforts “all over the forum” as I’ve hardly been on here. Nice to see you are keeping a close eye on my posts though.

Darren Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 10 hours ago, ArabFC said: Was he ‘let go’ or did he - as many journos do these days - go freelance so he could work when he wanted and pay less tax? I’m not the most avid radio listener these days but I’m sure he’s been on fairly often when I’ve been listening. I suspect he was freelance at the time, as most contributers to the BBC's sport coverage are. So he wouldn't have been let go, just not asked back on. 6 hours ago, Cheese said: Me, paid to write in the Courier whatever shite leaks out of my brain which has almost completely melted: grr, youngsters these days have no idea what real work is. It's the use of the emojis though There's a certainly irony in him leaning on his Catholicism in tweets while DC Thomson is the only media organisation willing to pay him for his views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Courier is arguably the most successful local paper in the history of print journalism whilst all the while holding its readership in utter contempt.
