Derek Johnstone: columnist or fuckwit

‘I believe we will see Rangers in a 3-5-2, the full-backs love getting forward, which would give Morelos someone to work off whether that is Sadiq Umar or Jake Hooper if they get him up from Millwall.’

Who the fuck is Millwall striker Jake Hooper?

Fucking retard.

 

[TMB 14,167]

He obviously means Gary Hooper.  One of @Rfc52's most favourite players.

Jake Cooper maybe? But he's a defender. Hmmm.

[BlueThunder 8,452]

Two things. DJ possibly has age related dementia setting in, and no-one proof-reads his column.

Ask @TMB he’s a Millwall forum member

This: 

"Rangers are still waiting to hear if Millwall have accepted an improved offer for Jake Cooper.

The Ibrox club have been met with a wall of silence since tabling a £3million bid on Tuesday."

But I'd be hesitant to take anything published in that rag as the truth.

Come on DJ, get your shit sorted. 

[TMB 14,167]

Here's the original article:

"Rangers within the space of a year have moved on from a humiliation and the hands of Progres to being a at least a work in progress.

You would have taken than last summer.

A 2-0 home home win in European football is never a bad thing, ever, and compared to 12 months ago, which I believe it’s important to do at this early stage, this Rangers team look in far better nick than the one defeated by a mid-table side from Luxembourg.

Before I talk about Steven Gerrard’s first game as manager, and it’s difficult to come to any great conclusion after 90 minutes, what must be said is that this tie is not dead. Not by a long shot.

They have a bit of work to do yet.

Shkupi are a good if not great team. Like so many European sides we have seen come to Scotland over the years, they were comfortable on the ball, liked to play in little triangles with their nice passes in midfield and utterly determined to keep possession.

They had absolutely nothing up-front, that was their weakness, but they may well play differently on Tuesday and the heat won’t help Rangers. So, it will be a test.

James Tavernier’s penalty was such a big moment. It’s the bleeding obvious I know but 2-0 makes a huge difference. But here is a thing.

Had Rangers lost 2-0 in Macedonia in the first leg, all of us would think they had a great chance of getting through. After all, there wasn’t a huge amount in it and the second goal came from a penalty in injury time.

Gerrard will know a lot more about his team after this game.

Not all of them played well, it has to be said, and I can see there being three or four changes for the return leg depending on fitness.

Rangers were okay on Thursday. Nothing more or less. Gerrard will have been pleased with the win, especially as it came with a clean sheet, but there was an awful lot to work on.

On another night they could have scored more. It is early days and the manager still doesn’t have everyone available AND he doesn’t yet know his best team.

Let’s look at some positives.

James Tavernier was really good and got man of the match, however, I thought Ross McCrorie was Rangers’ best player.

I have said it often enough in this column that the lad, as good as he is, was never a centre-half and it was interesting to see Gerrard saying that he felt the same thing. The lad is a midfielder and a very good one at that.

And we need to talk about Alfredo Morelos.

He’s taken a fair bit of stick after the game and it wasn’t his best night. But he is not being helped by how the team is lined up.

Morelos cannot play on his own up-front. There were times at Ibrox when he had three defenders on him at the same time. He was feeling on scraps at best.

In saying that, Morelos, and he wasn’t the only one, was allowed clear headers on goal and he didn’t even hit the target. That is poor and won’t have been missed by the manager.

I believe we will see Rangers in a 3-5-2, the full-backs love getting forward, which would give Morelos someone to work off whether that is Sadiq Umar or Jake Hooper if they get him up from Millwall.

Rangers should have scored more. They need to be far more clinical.

Patience is an overused word in football and it’s rarely if ever welcomes. Particularly in Glasgow.

The fact is that this brand new management team and the new players need time - which you don’t get at Rangers - to gel together.

This was never going to happen overnight. However, a win in the first game is no bad thing. It’s a start."

Taig appeasing cunt he is.

Defo an uncle Tom.

He's both but far more of the latter.

My point exactly.

Got the name AND position played entirely wrong.

Takes someone pretty special to do that AND get it published

“You’re right, Hugh”.

[Dread 69]

State of the media is a well-worn discussion, but DJ really is a subject worth revisiting.

 

Not only does he spout almost unending shite, acquiescing to anti-Rangers arguments at every opportunity, but by his presence he takes a seat at the table away from someone who could actually talk sense into the green-and-grey propagandists we suffer as journalists.

 

We've been on our arse too long. The first signs of real recovery will be when charlatans like DJ are chased into the sunset.

[WATP-FOREVER 5,231]

It's clearly a typo - he actually meant Tommy Cooper.

Fuckwit. 

 

Not sure what you're asking here OP. For me the two terms are interchangable.  I stopped reading newspapers years ago, due to lack of credible reporting, obvious bias and sheer incompetant journalism. Why give them your time and money if they annoy you so much ?

 

And by the way, do you not think someone coached him through the article then proof read it ? That alone says a lot more about Scottish journalistic standards than any ex player putting his name to a Rangers article.

I don’t buy any newspapers, nor do I tend to read tabloid reports on line.

I was actually checking out an evening times journalist whom I was talking to last night and I ended up opening DJ’s column.

i was surprised (although god knows why) at how poor it was, getting both the Millwall defender’s name wrong AND his position.

Doesnt say much for the proof reader either.

It just confirmed why I was right not to read this kind of drivel.

[Inigo 32,526]

It'll not be a proof reader, it'll be a ghostwriter. I sincerely doubt DJ actually does any writing for anything.

So either DJ and the writer have fucked up, or somehow the writer has made a mess of what DJ said. Probably the former.

[Inigo 32,526]

People should have a bit of respect anyway. This fuckwit type patter is chronic. 

DJ's been a football pundit since, what, the early 90s? That was his job, to talk shite about football. Things have overtaken that in the last 6 or 7 years and he's not up to the task. He's not the brightest and it shows when he's had to broaden his scope to talking about other rubbish. He's nowhere near the appeaser he's made out to be, though.
