Scottish journalists, are they the worst in the world?
Do you remember when we used to respect Scottish journalists?
No, me neither.
This, this is all sorts of awfulness, even by The Glasgow media’s standard. And The Herald is supposedly not a tabloid. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/17956331.neil-cameron-derek-mcinnes-best-aberdeen-manager-since-alex-ferguson/
I am not sure who or what Neil Cameron is, but I don’t think journalism is really his thing. He slides between fact, fiction, opinion, stereotypes, attempts at humour, and sheer bigotry like a turd escaping your arse after a particularly heavy session and a curry the night before.
It’s not a particularly impressive record for what is Scotland’s third biggest football – at least according to those in the North East.
Listen to the sneer in that. Where exactly have you heard this? Hearts and Hibs have similar or larger season ticket sales. Hey, any excuse for a dig though.
However, because St Mirren sacked the greatest club manager in football history – it remains one of the all-time baffling decisions . Translation: I’m too lazy/incompetent to research it.
There can’t be another club anywhere on the planet which has enjoyed such a dramatic spike in fortune. Translation: I’m too lazy/incompetent to research it. Nottingham Forest, Ipswich, Manchester City? Without me even leaving the UK.
Aberdonians are a funny lot. They have a real hit for themselves because they don’t live in Slumdee or Weegieland where “they rake in the bucket for something to eat, find a dead rat and they think it’s a treat.”
Jesus wept. ‘They have a real hit for themselves’ Is that even a phrase? Let’s take a song that is a cheeky/provoking piece of banter and make it a defining characteristic of a region of Scotland’s supporters. But presumably not the ones who support The Old Firm. (Oh it exists, and shut up, I’m not in the mood, I had to read his whole article to write this).
There is arrogance about their wealth which has come from the oil.
There is an arrogance about Glasgow based ‘journalists’, that marks them all down as arseholes.
Everyone from within ten miles of the city limits is guaranteed a job at the BBC. That’s a fact, by the way.
Is this a joke? Is this an in joke? Are you chatting directly with Richard Gordon? What the f*ck are you?
And there is a cracking cultural scene. I like the place.
I’m an absolute c*nt of a human being, but I’d better add some sort of ‘balance’.
There is a large section of the football public who can’t accept that Willie Miller has retired…
At least 60% of our support never saw him play. Did you write this in 1994?
That the current manager once played for Rangers and comes from the west coast is a factor…
Percentage wise of the Aberdeen support 1% maybe, if we’re being generous. We have an idiot section in our support, just like any other club. But if you want to define us all by that fine. We’ll define you by the journalist that hacked the dead child’s phone.
Oh, and Miller is Glaswegian and grew up a Rangers fan. Same, too, Alex McLeish.
Did you so some research?! Really? Well done fella. We. All. Know. This.
Although an argument could be made for Alex Smith…
Let me stop you right there. He was a shit manager. He proved he was a shit manager by doing precisely nothing in management after Aberdeen. Except playing the victim to the god awful Glasgow media to attack/blame Aberdeen supporters at every feckin’ turn. Which the media lapped up, as they still do attacking Aberdeen supporters to this day. The two cups were the Fergie legacy cups. The leftovers from Ferguson’s team, and the money generated through the Ferguson years for Charlie Nicholas and Hans Gillhaus. Don’t argue with me people, I aint listening.
Angry, perhaps, that Real Madrid haven’t been taken to the cleaners recently.
Is this humour? Anyone?
And when that happens, Aberdeen will slink back to mediocrity. Then they really will have something to moan about.
Says man moaning about Aberdeen supporters.
I need to lie down.
