Mate, it’s a struggle finding many of them that aren’t idiots. Like finding rocking horse ****e man. It’s in their DNA. Can’t help but out themselves even when they initially come across as reasonable once they are either in a group of fellow unwashed or someone isn’t all aboard the nayshun bus.
The change is frightening, like they all have split personalities. The train from Newcastle to Edinburgh is fine unless some happen to bump into each other. Then the voices become louder, the accents thicker and the laughter forced. I always hide my colours because I don’t want to be dragged into their seriously poor ‘banter’ … … it’s like they’re working from the same worn out script that’s passed just around getting tattier and tattier.
Indeed! Although they aren’t all like that. Was in a pub last night at a Halloween party, landlord is a season ticket holder. Thing but nice things to say about us, our firm, and the signings. No’but you haven’t…” just genuine niceness. So there are a few!! He is a minority mind!!
I see the Downie character is showing his true colours again. He made himself look a complete tit bubbling on when the Saudis took over the mags (conveniently forgetting what the Saudis did to one of his own profession (I use profession loosely when talking about him)). His grovelling attempt at an apology to SAFC support earlier in the season was more focused on him securing his position with Sky because he knew he would have to cover us more following our promotion. He didn’t want the SAFC fanbase upsetting his little Apple cart. An absolute fraud of a journalist.
David Bruce and Chris Waters etc are locals who'll be aware of who's to be trusted ... ... Downie will already know his place in my opinion.
