scarkev 3,540 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I think you did a really good job getting an interview with him and putting him on the spot with some pertinent questions...there will always be some who aren't content with things but I think once the audio is released it will give everyone a clearer idea of how the interview was conducted.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It was pretty good work, Bill. I enjoyed it and felt you did will.I do think he was soft-soaping a few things. He has contradicted himself previously and denied knowing about the disaster when he mocked it, then was proven to have lied by his own twitter feed.You asked a lot of the questions we needed to ask him and naturally, not all of them could have been asked.Personally, I would have like to see him questioned over his use of the phrase that we might be "the biggest cheats in sporting history".I found that remark by him to be totally unacceptable. Can you go back and question him over it, at this point?That said, good work nonetheless.Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a chance to put him under real pressure, but instead fell for his bullshit.Again I think the audio will make it clearer but in fairness to bill if he was to start attacking the guy he would just have ended the interview...I agree Thomson wormed out of alot of things but there's a fine line between conducting a revealing interview and a character assassination...difficult job done well in my opinion on the whole.

jack1690 793 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I will listen to the interview 1st before commenting Bill, but I really hope you nailed this horrible clown for his continuous hate campaign against our club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Read the page on CRO and having spoken with Shane on here I know that he does work away tirelessly in the background and always read your blogs...........But(yip) I found the interview lacking as more from re questions you than him be pushed to make him uncomfortable in his replies...........thing is I believe you ask a question and let the person it's directed to answer and open him up............I have asked on threads that the lies this man comes out with re our club without doing any work on the subject( I think your interview shows this) well one has to ask did he do his reporting from the trouble-spots in front of a blue screen?I felt judging by your CRO page that the questions asked were weak and you seem to have allowed him short answers.......his remembering of playing with his toys when the Ibrox disaster came on the radio........sorry but that stank to high heavens for him. Also him not agreeing to a face to face interview was another ploy by him.We have given this guy a platform to play on and he took it.Again the above based on my reading of the interview and this individuals behaviour of the last year.
