Tom English was as broken as any bear at the final whistle at Ibrox on Sunday.
The first half display from the homeside had his heart racing as the flowery prose was prepared for Danny Rohl’s title winners. An absolute powerhouse was his reaction of his chubby fingers punched into Twitter at half-time.
Make no mistake, English despises Celtic and everything about the club. Almost as much as he hates himself. As despised and detested as he is on his increasingly rare visits back to Limerick.
The locals don’t want to know him, they know what he is.
Who his employers are, what they stand for, what they promote.
SUCCULENT TOM ENGLISH GOES IN TOO EARLY
English is nothing more than an exercise in how inclusive the state broadcaster is. A box ticking exercise.
The euphoria of the first half swept him away.
Seeing Celtic getting the run-around, the volume of the hate chants and looking down on an almost broken Martin O’Neill created a magical cocktail.
On Twitter, House Paddy as he is affectionately known by colleagues was in full flow.

The language of a BBC Scotland fan-boy.
You could almost feel English humming along with his BBC Scotland colleagues. The perfect day was brewing.
He had most of his colour piece composed long before half time, giving him a free run at the pie tray. A few matey jokes with others covering the match, revelling in the demise of O’Neill.
There was a follow up piece brewing on the interim Celtic manager. The tragedy of his Celtic career ending in Ibrox humiliation. English has had that piece on draft since November in Midtjylland.
Even after the match he was unable to show any sign of balance or perspective.
Covering the second goal on the BBC Scotland website English drooled:
Chermiti flicked it past Araujo and dinked it past Sinisalo, then wheeled away to drink in the adulation of his newfound fan club. Ibrox was rocking, literally. When they’re rejoicing in this kind of performance, the place shakes.
Which players were they singing about? English wouldn’t say.
SILENCE ISN’T GOLDEN- IT ISSUPPORT
He knows the content of the songs. He knows that The Billy Boys is banned by UEFA, he knows why.
The Chief Sports Writer at BBC Scotland won’t go near the issue.
BBC, Sky Sports, the SFA and SPFL are happy to promote the hatred, to market and monetise it.
This weekend TNT Sport will also turn a deaf ear to it. Rory Hamilton will roar his praise about the atmosphere without explanation.
No need, Thomas.
I heard more than enough on Sportsound and your performative eulogy about the tragedy it was that Rangers never won this game. That’s plenty.

Hopefully English will be back on egg chasing duties this weekend, a sport that no one in Scotland really cares for. Apparently English is a cracking rugger writer.
BBC Scotland is entirely funded by the licence payer. It is believed that the majority of their World Cup coverage will be from Glasgow with places on USA jolly at an absolute premium.
English is expected to cover the World Cup from his mancave.
Pish, you’re totally gutted, after your powerhouse gush..

Won’t go near the songs of bile and hate in case it jeopardises his cushy number at the Billy Boys Channel
A sh*te bag fraud
100% correct Joe big Tom and his employers are despised in Limerick, people i talk to on the street can’t get their head around his hatred for Celtic but luckily nobody gives a f@#k about his opinion, even after game on Sunday fans in the pub was singing big Tom is hurting
This speckie fud was the klown that got the job,just think who failed the test.
Him and his long lost brother who got separated at birth Ewan Cameron a right couple of horses bangers.
“You could almost feel English humming along with BBC Scotland colleagues”
Well they very much are STINKING B*STARDS !
The gravediggers
There is a version of The Truman Show starring an Ibrox cast that has been devised and released by BBC Scotland and Sky Sports.
The plot centres around a deluded group of supporters with a dual personality disorder who need to be prevented from discovering the horrible truth about themselves and their newly formed 2012 club.
The beleaguered troupe are sheltered from reality, a deceptive pretence is maintained in order to pacify the wee sensitive souls.
In this latest episode of the series to alleviate their feelings of inadequacy and shame, footage is edited out of the penalty claim scene where Dujon Sterling manhandled Sebastian Tounekti in the box, the non red card incidet of John Souttar’s brutal assault on Junior Adamu and the home crowds hate songs from the terraces that only the SFA authorities admonish and approve of.
The prescribed script is given to a crew of media messengers under a Journalistic pretext to dose out, manipulate and to embellish the fantasy. Officials take centre stage in the production, the covert activities at Clydesdale House are as clear and obvious as those at the American White House.
If Peter Lawwell hasn’t read the five way agreement then John Beaton will need to plead the fifth amendment that he hasn’t sworn an oath to uphold the SFA’s SEVered COrrectness refereeing rule book.
Tom English gives a powerhouse performance with his flowery half-time prose, he fully deserves a Shakespearian lifetime achievement award for making a right royal fool of himself. The unbalanced twitter soliloquy was Much Ado About Nothing when the full-time whistle sounded. Danny played his Rohl in the tagedy, beware the tides of March!
