26th of foot 5,829 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Cosgrove and Spiers are embarking on a 15 date Q and A tour of Scotland next month. Perhaps some Bears might want to stump up the cash to ask, 'how much do you hate Rangers and Rangers supporters'? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Caught lying again Spiers, the Billy Boys was only sung once after the game finished and only when the Hivs scum came charging up to the Rangers end to cause violence. Get the facts correct and stop lying all the time, please. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Spiers seems to have broadened his horizons and has invented his own 'contempt-meter' so as to measure it's ongoing levels and later be able point to the motives behind the actions. It just so happens that this new technology is not so subtley blaming Rangers supporters and is linked to the word 'fenian'. No surprise there....... Spiers is one of the consistent areas of "loathing" within Scottish football and his predictable dribble that helped shape the current cack-handed and unworkable balls-up of reactive legislation is a poor excuse for original thought and real journalism. Legislation, Policing, Governing bodies (SFA/SPFL), Journalism in Scottish football.......... ........... it's all low/poor quality, self-interested, unimaginative and ineffective.

Bluedell 5,329 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's a pitiful attempt to blame Rangers fans for the assaults on their players. He is just scum. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) It's a pitiful attempt to blame Rangers fans for the assaults on their players. He is just scum. Spiers at work. 1. No need to go to game. 2. Write line/conclusion about Rangers fans, blame and term 'fenian bastards' 3. Figure out a way to reach this conclusion that loosely fits events and also states a case for both sides of opinion on social media before reaching conclusion. 4. Go over text and stick a couple of 'long words' in. ------------------- His MO in recent years has been to give an impression of taking into account both sides of story before always falling off the fence into the same garden. He has tried to be more controversial at times to get more radio gigs but only comes accross as a pathetic attention seeker with no original thought.

trublusince1982 243 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ignoring him will harm him more than anything. He's at last resort stage trying to use shock to bring coverage. Ignore him and his very last card is played 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 He is a joke figure, even amoungst his journalist peers. I can only assume that he and others like him are being paid to slander us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Some years ago, rasellik played the Dundee Hibs, in an SPL match. The referee was The Rev Michael McCurry, a Baptist minister, whose church was in Mosspark Drive, I think. Anyway, during the course of the game, rahoops support subjected Rev McCurry to a barrage of abuse, much of it founded upon his religious persuasion. This was covered in the press, etc., at the time. On the following Monday, I consulted the sports pages of The Times, to see what this one time Paper of Record made of it. Its correspondent was Graham Speirs. In his match report he did refer to the hostile verbal assaults directed at the match official. However, in an expression almost worthy of Orwell (although with neither ironic nor satiric bent, Speirs having no conception of either), he declared that the fun bhoys merely had expressed "....a natural denominational antipathy..." towards the unfortunate Minister. (My emphasis.) His meaning is clear: when an Irish, indeed, perhaps any, Roman Catholic abuses a person of the Reformed Faiths, because of that religious affiliation, it is neither sectarianism, nor bigotry. Denominational antipathy, religious prejudice to you and I, therefore, is not a social phenomenon but is a product of nature, not nurture; or at least, anti Protestantism is: he fulminates often against reverse traffic, as we all know, which in his eyes is inexcusable, and cannot be, therefore, in any way "natural". This is an astonishing stance for someone, who was paraded as an expert witness, in a ScotGov enquiry into sectarianism, to adopt. I need hardly add that his position has no scientific, sociological, or anthropological basis, which in itself is instructive in understanding the mind of this balloon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
