I felt the need to post this ridiculous article as even for this sill wee man, it really is quite a corker about wee Bazza jacking in playing for Scotland. Upon first read I presumed he was talking about one of the gratest midfield talents to ever grace a Scotland jersey?

Don't get me wrong, we're not blessed with a multitude of talented midfielders right now, and Ferguson has been superb for Birmingham, but equally, we haven't made a world cup or European Championship for 12 years when he was playing.

I just can't stand to read a word he writes, and refuse even to read the article you so kindly linked to and gave some relevance. His opinion on anything is just not worth the time it takes to hear it.

I've highlighted your first mistake.

Hope this helps.


Seriously though, the internet is full of wonderful and interesting things - and pornography - why would you waste your time reading an article by Chic Young?

What's the exact definition of 'pornography'?

He is an arrogant litle c*nt and it f*cking anoys me that any part of my license fee goes into the pocket of the fatuous, self-important no mark when there are real journalists out there with the capacity to competently read, write and speak and who can bring balance and insight to their journalism, a profession he is singularly ill-equipped to be associated with.

I'm assuming he read the article before typing the post.

Amateur.

I don't understand your point Findus. Am I on job seeker's? No. Should Chick Young be? Yes!

I've had quite a few dealings with the guy.

I think he's fine and decent.

Writes to get attention and to stir debate - nothing wrong with that.

And I can absolutely confirm he supports the Buddies.

Now, he may appear like an erse-licker to Murray et al, but sometimes that's the only way to be to get the interview.

I think Pattullo is probably one of the best writers we have in the media, but he never 'breaks' news 'cos the clubs generally don't like him. He doesn't lick ass.

The mix of different approaches is required to get some sembo of truth.

Spencey's another one - doesn't usually ask the 'hard' questions, but therefore is able to get news and sometimes slant it in his own direction.

It's a fine line. I've been there.

You can say that about all journalists. It's not a defence of peddling shite article after shite article.

The guy encompasses most things that are wrong in modern football journalism.

You read it. So it worked. We're debating it. So it worked.

Tell me what is wrong in modern journalism. I'm (honestly) interested. I teach it now rather than write it.

You have your answer in the first paragraph.

ps We're not debating the article. The content of it has received little interest. To use a metaphor, we've been tackling the man, rather than the ball.

So, you don't really know. ;)

All the best then, Barry. At least a cheery wave goodbye is a step up from your last hand gesture to the Scotland fans, which led to your period in the wilderness.

Okay, just checked. You win! Stupid.
