History Repeating Itself?
The reason I began this thread, and the reason why occasionally I return is because I knew ra Bhoy in Corduroy would resort to his habitual lazy practices. In the past, Graham has resorted to make belief and lies to support his conclusions. For a decade at Scotland on Sunday, his Sports Editor was Kevin McKenna and Spiers decided to prioritise satisfying Kevin, whereas his colleagues Kevin McCarra and Jonathon Northcoat satisfied their professionalism. The latter two went on to become national(British) broadsheet columnists and Editors, Graham is the football Journo for the Times(Scotland), under 15,000 daily sales.
BBC Scotland cancelled Graham's Golf Show and he was left needing to support three Sellik season tickets(himself and two boys) on a modest income. Podcasts, particularly Podcasts with a specific litany of Sellik supporting/Rangers hating guests are a sure thing. However, give Spiersy several weeks and he will resort to type. He conducted a 45 minute Podcast with Hibs boss, Jack Ross and having taken subscriptions, he broadcast the former St Mirren Gaffer's reflections on Sunderland, the emotional support provided by Brendan(yep, that Brendan), and his own take on Ross's emotional intelligence.
The following Saturday arrives and the Times(Scotland) Editor requires a build-up piece for the Edinburgh Derby that is the Scottish Cup semi-final that evening. Spiers provides by committing his Podcast to print, word for word. The lazy bum is paid twice for the same material and what's left of the Times readership in Scotland are recipients of Spiers sloppy seconds. It will happen soon, he will resort to appearing on 'the View from the Terrace' fingering his organ to a soundtrack of Elton John melodies.
