Sky Sports reporter in Kyogo attack

Andrew Dickson has delivered a stinging attack on Kyogo Furuhashi, according to his Linkedin profile Dickson works across a range of platforms with Sky Sports.

Kyogo scored twice for Celtic in the 4-2 win away to Dundee despite coming in for some heavy treatment from the home side who had five players booked.

With 13 goals to his name since switching to Celtic from the J-League Kyogo is the sort of success story that should be highlighted to increase the profile of the SPFL who have an exclusive broadcasting contract with Sky Sports.

A reminder I’ve been chatting with @FdeBoerofficial for this afternoon’s programme, grab a copy from vendors outside the stadium! https://t.co/6zVmKhhdPJ

Dickson has a long history of putting a negative slant on Celtic and matters within Scottish football.

Hah, as if we’d take lessons from you lot……Rangers, the gold standard of play acting…… https://t.co/zHCaJREyPI pic.twitter.com/4vjjSi4THt

Hmmmm strange to single him out

One wonders if there is some other issue you may have.

Love how he lives in your heads rent free, you can’t stop talking about him. It’s like the way you all used to be with Scott brown ?

According to his Linkedin profile Dickson is currently involved on a freelance basis with Sky Sports on three fronts:

Freelance sports journalist/producer working across three departments: Sky Sports Multi-Platform, Sky Sports News and Sky Sports Football.

Sky Sports Multi-Platform responsibilities: Producing and cutting/editing content for live sport bulletins on Sunrise, Sky News’ breakfast programme, and daytime and evening output on Sky News; producing 25-minute daily non-rights sport programmes for distribution to foreign clients; producing digital video bulletins on skysports.com and social media; writing sports news stories and features for skysports.com using Sky Sports News and wire content.

Sky Sports News responsibilities: Cutting/editing match highlights, interview grabs, voiced video and writing scripts for live broadcast on Sky Sports News.

In tandem with his Sky Sports gig he runs Dickson Sport having left ‘Rangers Football Club’ in November 2014.

Despite excitedly tweeting in advance of an interview with Alfredo Morelos that was incorrectly translated to accuse Celtic fans of racism Dickson was happy to go on the record that he had no involvement in that infamous Sky Sports interview.

Amazing @mrandrewdickson accuses others of stirring up hate. The author of the tweet below must think we are all blind.

His entire twitter account is just one long dog whistle.

What other purpose was to be served by this wildly wrong speculation? pic.twitter.com/2VZeKtWmPE

No, I wasn’t. In any way whatsoever. So tough luck with that ? https://t.co/msz1EuOB5s

Ironic that as my tweet appealing for better regulation on social media to curb faceless abuse hits 25k likes – thus showing huge appetite for the idea – an anonymous blogger tries to get some hate going my way. Couldn’t make it up. Folk here should be identifiable & accountable.
