Tom English was in his hand-wringing glory as he reviewed Celtic’s Scottish Cup victory at Ibrox.
A week earlier all was happy and glorious as he drooled over two goals from Youssef Chermiti. One was apparently the greatest goal ever witnessed in English’s sheltered life.
The events that followed Celtic’s Ibrox victory was perfect for English.
The chief sports writer at BBC Scotland was able to sidestep all discussion on the match to indulge in a passionate exercise of what-a-boutery.
ENGLISH- A CAREER OF NOTHINGNESS
It is the laziest trick in the business. There are few lazier than English, the man affectionately known as House Paddy by his colleagues at the state broadcaster.
Out it poured. The most predictable content imaginable. From a man who hasn’t broken a worthwhile story in 30 years covering Scottish football.
To be fair to English he does know the system, how to advance in the Scottish media. How to land a golden ticket from BBC Scotland.
Said it before and will say it again. Tom English is a rancid, bigoted lowlife who sees the world through orange tinted glasses and wouldn’t know accurate, journalistic reporting if it bit him on the arse. Arsehole!

In his what-a-boutery there is no mention of the Ibrox coach attacked on the park. It never happened.
There is no mention of the masked thugs emerging from the Free Broomloan to run 80 yards to confront opposing supporters. It didn’t happen.
There was no mention of the anthems of hate booming out from the vast majority of the home fans. That did happen.
English will produce a few predictable follow ups, tut-tutting and offering nothing. Almost a summary of his pointless career.
Someone with no meaningful contacts outside of Gorgie Road.
Snubbed by the biggest clubs in the country he turns to social media to pick up on trends and present them as in-sight. Apparently his coverage of egg-chasing is close to competent but no-one in Scotland cares for that sport.
It is understood that English will be covering the soccer World Cup for BBC Scotland from his man-cave.
Watched him on bbc Scotland tonight and everything was aimed at Celtic not one comment about the singing sectarian songs from that lot or their fans on the park after scoring their ruled out goal will be contacting bbc Scotland tomorrow about his bias comments nothing but a broken down reporter.
Many,many celtic fans and a tiny number of smurfs from the dopeland stand………Your just a fat lying bastard! TV pictures prove your a liar
The guy is a 100% first class total quality ARSEHOLE of all ARSEHOLES.
The specky C**T can’t even string a sentence together,follow the bouncing ball when this BIGOTED KLOWN tries to talk,you would think he is reading his Janet&John books from school when attempting a conversation.
How do you confuse speckie English at the BBC?
Put 2 shovels against a wall and tell him to take his pic.
Off topic here but expect the World Cuo to be cancelled as Iran have put it out there earlier today that America should enjoy the World Cup while they can,as Iran has a few things planned for them.
I believe he’s a West Brit Bastard of the highest fu**in order…
What is it they say about there being no zealot like a convert zealot…
Also a pathological lying B*astard as well I believe…
He’ll fit in well at Scummy BBC Scotland then…
He’s probably took their ‘side’ as he’s shit scared of them and won’t want them booting him from Pointhouse Quay across the bridge to Govan…
For once The Sevco Hun Hoards would have done something useful in their otherwise usless lives !
Joe watched that fat Tom English Hun arse licker on BBC Scotland news last night and he’s blaming Celtic fans 100% surprise surprise, not going to upset my day before work thinking about that horrible English coward what a total scumbag
Soup taking rat.
3 words English, that’s more than you deserve.
