Either Kenny Miller badly requires a trip to the opticians or the Daily Record needs to employ someone that actually watches a football match.
After his Friday shifts with TalkSPORT and Radio Clyde the former Partick Thistle striker slipped on his Radio Scotland outfit to watch Celtic go 12 points clear in the SPFL title race.
Despite the scoreline it seems like the match was a tactical masterclass from Micky Beale as his forwards failed to construct a chance worthy of the name while his two central defenders presented Celtic with the decisive second and third goals.
One highlight for Miller was watching Tavpen reach a century of goals for the Tribute Act, dating all the way back to some screamers in the Championship and Petroltank Cup with Miller as a team-mate.
Drooling over Tav’s opening goal, it seems that Miller was watching an entirely different match- or has a strange place for putting postage stamps.
Miller told Record readers:
I was also impressed by James Tavernier. That was a captain’s performance. What a moment he delivered when Rangers needed him to step up with the free-kick.
That was top level quality. If that had been a Man City or Liverpool player who’d done that we’d be talking about it for a long time. In that moment, to put it in the postage stamp with such accuracy and beat a keeper of Joe Hart’s ability, was fantastic.
I’m always reluctant to talk this way after losing a game to Celtic. But moving forward, that semi-final is huge and Rangers at least showed yesterday that they can compete.
The ball went into the net off the underside of the crossbar, about three feet from the left hand post, nowhere near the traditional postage stamp.
Perhaps the Artificial Intelligence at the Record is programmed to describe any free kick from Tavernier as finding the postage stamp.
Last time I posted a letter the stamp went on the top right hand corner. In other words, the opposite side of the goal.
Another one of those sayings that people get continually wrong and now refer to both top corners as the postage stamp.
A bit like when they say “the Rangers are coming”.
This guys desperation to get a job at the Sharedome is mental , I’ve never seen anything like it
Now ,now ,give the ubiquitous Kenny Miller his due ! He has only been pumped two times from his jobs as assistant manager ! The guy certainly knows the time of day as far as failure is concerned and likes to hear himself babble ! When the guy opens his mouth ,I listen intently for his next instalment of Bollox … Don’t you ? As the immortal Ralph Kramden in the Honeymooners said to the old ma in law …’Yoouu are a Blaabberrmouth !’
