BLESS HIM- David Tanner turns up at Hampden as his Ibrox storm brews

Three weeks after the shocking scenes that marred Celtic’s Scottish Cup win at Ibrox David Tanner was back on the reporters beat at Hampden.

Not with Sky Sports or any accredited broadcasters but providing updates for TalkSPORT on a match that that radio station had no interest in.

Tanner has found himself back in the spotlight but not for the reasons that he craves.

In 2017 Sky Sports decided not to renew his contract. No more chummy studio banter with Charlie Nicholas and Neil McCann.

For many that situation would be the chance to kick on in his career.

Call in some contacts and favours, take his career to new levels.

ALL DOWNHILL FOR TALENTLESS TANNER

Not for Tanner. He found doors constantly slamming in his face. Not even his long standing auto-cue was prepared to put in a good word for the pint sized presenter.

Hibs TV in the Covid season was about as good as it gets. Some podcasts around Hibs and Hearts died a death.

It has taken a while but in the digital age there is no market for a fifty-something has been with no personality, ability or personal following.

At Ibrox Tanner had the chance to shine as the Union Bears provided TalkSPORT with the sort of Scottish football content that they are interested in.

Tanner could have described attacks on Police Officers, Stewards and club staff.

Instead wee Davie blew it.

He went into a rage over a Celtic fan blessing himself.

EPL viewers witness it multiple times in every match. Goalscorers and substitutes do it regularly. No one cries foul.

Tanner screamed with rage as he witnessed that Celtic fan at Ibrox.

The TalkSPORT presenters in London never picked him up on it. Big deal, who cares.

Every day Tanner is asked on X/Twitter to follow up on his outrage over the Celtic fan at Ibrox.

It seems that wee Davie is too busy developing his career as the Scottish Mr Blobby while his newest podcast Toe Poke has picked up 75 subscribers after four blockbuster episodes.

Another One from Paul perfectly picks up on Tanner. Some say that he never quite recovered from being turned down by Hello! and OK magazines when they were offered exclusive rights to his wedding in 2005.
