‘It has really, really rattled you, hasn’t it’ ‘Tom stick to Rugby’ ‘Aye OK Tom, go get your soup pal’ Tom English gets slaughtered across Twitter

Celtic’s late win at Ross County on Wednesday night seems to have rocked right through BBC Scotland.

Their online team jumped the gun to celebrate a six point gap at the top of the table with Sportsound presenter Jane Lewis almost breaking down live on air. She seemed to spend most of Thursday trying to defend herself on Twitter.

Lurking in his own cubicle at the state broadcaster was Tom English, a man that rarely has a positive word to say about anything related to the sport that he has made a living from for the best part of 20 years.

Even readers of The Scotsman recognised the massive drop in standards when the egg-chaser from Limerick tried to slip into the pages previously graced by Kevin McCarra, Jonathan Northcroft and Graham Spiers. It was a colossal drop in standards quickly matched by circulation levels and advertising revenue.

Celtic’s late win at Ross County denied English and his BBC colleagues an early Championship party, on Sunday they’ll grudgingly have to cover a team in green and white lifting a trophy at Hampden.

Trolling on Twitter is about the extent of English’s talent, checking on every comment to see if there is any comments that he can bite back at.

Celtic fans know his motivation, after being left behind when the BBC selected their reporters for the Olympic Games and Lions Tour 2021 hasn’t been the greatest year in English’s bang average career with no sign of any upturn.
