Obsessed Tom English can’t get over his new found obsession with the SPFL.
Strangely back in 2012, shortly after his blind support for Craig Whyte was quietly laid aside he had little to say about the SPL and the Five Way Agreement that has haunted Scottish football ever since.
Since football was suspended on March 13 English has been at the front of all attempts to blacken Celtic’s title win.
With eight matches left to play Celtic had stretched their lead at the winter break from two points to 13 while building up a goal difference advantage of 25 better than Steven Gerrard’s alleged challengers.
Do you relate everything in your life back to your unhealthy obsession with Rangers?

The really interesting thing to take from this email, is the collaboration in fabricating a narrative to get a point across.
It’s all staged.“Tom English has said he’ll have a pop at Paul Murray… Scotsman used his comments on the back page with our responses ie. irrelevant.” pic.twitter.com/UQz9KDfDZQ

The vote to decide the season and release £9m of prize money was resisted at every step by the BBC with chief sports writer English fronting the dissent, assisted by characters such as Jeffrey Campbell, Scot Gardiner and Ian McMenemy of Stenhousemuir.
Demands for an inquiry into a perfectly legal vote were championed at every turn to deny Celtic the title that they had within touching distance with just 10 points dropped over 30 matches.
When there are winners there are also losers. With four wins from 30 matches Hearts earned less points per game than any other club.
Ann Budge and the Tynecastle cheerleaders have been squealing for weeks when one win over Hamilton Accies would have sent the Lanarkshire side into the Championship.
When that scenario was tweeted to English he latched back into Defender of Ibrox mode. As ever regardless of what regime is on message.
