Aye, he's missed the mark with this one although I do think most of his stuff is pretty decent. This one just feels like someone had a deadline to meet and was struggling for something.

Is it normally the nasty/ridicule type as opposed to the humour type? Seems to decide at the end he's not quite been vicious enough for his own liking, so drops in a tired, old sectarianism below-the-belter just for good measure.

Depends who is on the receiving end of it. Malky Mackay gets it tight constantly for being a racist (Griffiths does too sometimes), he regularly portrays Brown as a brain-dead idiot too.

Its awful It is satirical. It's just not very good satire. Very vicious, very mocking, not very amusing. Which means it fails as satire. Good satire doesn't read as bitterly.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 You normally find that when writers are going for satire but the subject is one they hate with a passion, they just can’t stop themselves from overstepping the mark and letting it get nasty. 16BlueSherbert90, Bears and Blue Avenger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Like something that would be posted on a celtic forum rather than in a newspaper by a ‘professional’ journalist, absolutely pathetic however I love how much the hate filled bastards are shitting themselves at the thought they’re not just going to walk 10in a row like they’d all arrogantly assumed!

Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I have yet to hear any journalist portray the Rangers story with the admiration it deserves. We have been kicked from pillar to post, fined indiscriminately from the so called govern bodies both SFA and governmental. I suspect only a handful of football teams in the world would of survived that yet all these arseholes in Scotland can write is so called “satire “shite like that. Any other country would be in admiration of the level into which our club has managed to fight back to where we’re now at.
