The plot is crystal clear, the TalkSPORT presenter and his fellow cheerleaders have been trying their best to set their narrative but online the Internet Bampots have cruelly exposed the messengers.
‘Pompous’ ‘condescending’ ‘holier than thou’ Daily Record go into mentdown over ‘ragin’ Simon Jordan
When Simon Jordan delivers some home truths about their favourite club the Daily Record has two options to take.
On a Thursday morning with little happening elsewhere the Sports Desk at the Record are guaranteed to be tuned into Jim White on TalkSPORT to scrape out a story…
I’m not entirely sure why Rangers feel the need to have gone so robust, they may well be irritated, disappointed and playing to the gallery to the 4,000 fans they would’ve brought to the Dundee game but I think it’s a bit ridiculous and hypocritical.
Soon some of those pesky internet bampots were on it with their screenshots, those wannabe and failed reporters set the Record and Jackson trending, something that they generally welcome but not in these circumstances.
Slightly more subtly Beaton made a succession of ‘puzzling’ decisions on free kicks with the 23 awarded against Celtic, despite having 46% possession, more than any senior club in Scotland or England over the whole weekend.
Walsh re referees it and thinks it’s clear and obvious… did Walsh see the touch on the ball from Johnston? …mmm
“Like many other clubs, we will continue to press for the highest standards in relation to the VAR process in Scottish football.”
His keyboard spat out over 1,100 words saying virtually nothing, offering no analysis and as expected absolutely nothing about the poison that was pouring out the four stands at Ibrox from Ally McCoist’s 48,000 fellow fans.
Less dramatically Beaton was working his influence on the match wih free kicks and yellow cards. Challenges from Celtic players almost always resulted in free kicks while their opponents had licence to do as they please by putting the boot in.
There was nothing in particular to celebrate today but in some ways there was more passion about as the players and management were given a send off that none of them will have previously experienced.
