kuznetsov 0 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Aye, I'm sure Tiger Tim got the bullet as club announcer of timmy for teasing Rangers. Such is life. CELTIC got rid of Stuart Slater and "Tiger" TimStevens this week. Slater's departure does not appear to have caused much distress toCelticfans, but Stevens, whose touch is a little less subtle, has split the faithful.The 38-year-old Radio Clyde disc jockey, who works theCelticPark PA on match days, was sacked in mid-shift during Wednesday night's game against Young Boys Berne for what one director called a "tasteless and inappropriate" remark. Jings, no, what did he say? He announced the result of Rangers' game in Sofia (cheers). And then asked for a minute's silence (laughter). RADIO presenterTiger TimStevens was sent home with his tail between his legs from Parkhead last night. The Radio Clyde disc jockey, who also makes the public address system announcements at CelticPark, was perhaps a little less than sincere when he made a half-time request during Celtic'sEuropean tie for "a minute's silence for Rangers". The other half of Glasgow's Old Firm had, of course, by that time lost their European Cup tie. Celticdirector Tom Grant, rather than thinking the Tiger's skills were burning bright, took a dim view of the announcement -- and promptly dismissed Mr Stevens from the Parkhead microphone. "It was quite a civilised discussion," said one observer. "It would be wrong to say the fur was flying." A crestfallen Mr Stevens was heard to remark: "I just did it on the spur of the moment." he was also known for calling us "huns" within the corridors celtic park. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He 'f*cked up' probably should have said "a minute's silence for the huns"!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

amms 0 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 tiger tim got the bullet by fergus mccann for saying lets have a minutes silence for rangers getting knocked out of europe or words to that effect. they were playing the same night though not in europe. the truth of it was fergus wanted a cheeper option than tiget tim. It was definitely before McCann but the reasons for his dismissal might be right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amms 0 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Tiger Tim was prone to gaffs, I once heard him play 'Friggin in the Riggin' by The Sex Pistols on the Radio Clyde 70s show, the song was half way through before he pulled it and spent the rest of the programme apologising for it claiming he'd never heard it before. Aye right, Tiger. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye right, Tiger. When it suited him he also claimed to support Partick Thistle. Of course only the daftest believed that 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
