26th of foot 5,849 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Immediately after the game yesterday, Tom the Trumpet's first utterances on BBC Radio Scotland were, "Sellik look very, very tired, ah mean, really tired". Clearly, Tom was struggling to find a degree of comfort in the result. Over at Herald Towers, the massive depressive that is Neil Cameron clung to the other end of ra Sellik spectrum, "easily the worst old firm game I have seen". Saturday's Herald had Neil proclaiming a score of four zip to ra Sellik, "or whatever Sellik want it to be". Fellow Gersnetters, both Tom and Neil need help. The New Year beckons, Tom cannot be allowed to blow that trumpet alone, and Neil needs our prayers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,486 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Tom Sellik is, basically, a bullshitter, although, in a novel, but not unique, twist, his principal bulshitee is himself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,279 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 You know that you are in Scotland when the standard of refereeing is matching the standard of the sports journalists' writing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) You know that you are in Scotland when the standard of refereeing is matching the standard of the sports journalists' writing. Journalism isn't a term I'd use for the Leckie type of article (see other thread). It's part of an increased level of professional trolling that has increased markedly in Scottish football since Sutton had so much commercial success on the back of it. Tom English is a journalist of sorts that has bought into the celtic-minded blog opinion when it comes to Rangers and after fierce criticsm from Bears, has entrenched himself there, with the occasional offering of unethusiastic criticism towards things celtic due to the supposed need of the BBC to be 'impartial'. ----------- Leckie is just a bitter excuse for a professional. English is a voice you hear a lot more of on BBC Scotland than Richard Wilson. Edited December 31, 2017 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,279 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Just out of interest, David Leggat had his blog Leggoland running a few years back. Haven't read much of him for quite a while, anyone knows what holds him back? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
