sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ian Archer was a Rangers hating arsehole, can't believe anyone thinks any different.He never missed a chance to stick the knife into us,I'm amazed any Rangers supporter would defend him.

tannerall 25,935 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Ian Archer was a smug git and one of those "trendy intellectual football fans" of the time who, along with Billy Connolly incidently, chose to take the allegedly higher moral ground of supporting "neutral" Partick Thistle instead of the Old Firm. His only other allegiance was to alcohol.His colleagues at STV were the much more academic and knowledgable and able Bob Crampsey who supported Queen's Park, and Arthur Montford who supported Morton. At the time I believed that both favoured the Gers over cellic, but perhaps other posters will confirm or discount this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Newspapers are promoters of a bygone age when it took 12 hours to print papers.I'm glad the internet will see them redundant soon. Tick tock! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgers 565 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Never ever buy any newspapers now, not even the English ones down here. I was in the Asda store at Ibrox today and was having a free peek at the Scottish rags, still the same old pish. Anyways there was a young guy punting the Gerald with the lure of a free hessian shopping bag, i told him no thanks i would never read that comic, not even a free peek, and use the bag to put over the Hags head. It went right over the young lads head, but i felt better for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 34,136 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Rangers fan my arse.Says on the Scotsman website he was a lifelong Partick Thistle fan.Back then most would say they were Thistle or Clyde just to , at least , seem neutral. Now we have a different sort of journalist that just can't hide it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters , because he was one of the best , and fairest , out there. His knowledge in facts was unbelievable , be it on the radio or in his column Now You Know in the Evening Times . Always came across as a decent sort of guy . Pity there isn't more like him today . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity there isn't more like him today .Bob was headmaster of an apartheid school in Coatbridge so there would no doubt as to his background, but he never came across as bitter or partisan like most of the so-called journalists of the past few years. He was universally respected for his encyclopaedic knowledge of the game and his general demeanour. One of the good guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Have we ever had a Rangers supporting journalist except for some guy who writes for shoot. There's at least one I know personally at the Record. Darryl Briadfoot, formerly of the Herald and now at the SFA is another but it is quite slim pickings.
