Hugh Keevins latest dire piece opens with a smug, condescending swipe at one of his remaining listeners on Radio Clyde. Think about that.
When you are up your arse enough to feel that you can take a shot at your own dwindling audience then is it a wonder that you arrogantly make predictions that blow up in your face, as happened again yesterday, and that your newspaper column is read only so that it can be mercilessly mocked?
He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most ridiculous individual in a media landscape where the fiercest competition appears to be a battle to wear the crown “Best of the Worst.” In that, at least, he would be a contender.
His article today is a joke, just as everything he writes is like a joke. Keevins himself is a joke that has gone on too long, one of those hoary old ones that people keep trotting out although the Use By was sometime in the mid 80’s.
Today’s article gets so much wrong that I was tempted, initially, to give it the line by line treatment as I usually do with Jackson, but whereas Jackson is a bad writer and shockingly biased and his arguments have the substance of wind, he is still streets ahead of Keevins as a journalist and whereas I use that term loosely in this case the truth is that Keevins simply isn’t worth the time or the effort. He’s better as an afterthought.
Still, that doesn’t mean that we should let him away with the deplorable garbage that he talks and I have no intention of doing so. The suggestion which is central to his article today is that Celtic fans care about the Scottish Cup insomuch as it will increase the pressure on The Mooch and his team. Is he demented enough to actually believe that?
You know what? I think that he probably is. Thirty years ago this joker would not have been the sharpest tool in the box anyway … his diminishing brainpower is summed up in nonsense like this and in the way he’s constantly embarrassing himself during games with predictions about Celtic dropping points.
But how can anyone actually believe that Celtic fans are more interested in bragging rights than with our club getting its hands on the silverware? You would think even the stupidest person would realise that this is not the case and to our supporters it’s the glory for ourselves that matters and not being able to lord it over them.
This has been pointed out on the blogs over and over again. Ange has said it. The players have said it. The fans believe it. The semi-final is only a bridge to that last day of the season, where if we get there a treble is there for the taking … but he thinks on that day we’ll be focussed on them? He lives on another planet this guy.
He is Scottish journalism’s Worst of the Worst.
There are no prizes whatsoever for that.
The whole point is to get Celtic fans like yourself to respond, job done! Any Celtic fan who reads the sunday mail deserve all they get!!
When Gordon dalziel is laughing at you, it’s time to jack it in. HH
Why did the BBC not show the penalty we got and then disallow it
As supporters we can tend to look into the future, especially in a week when the semi finals draw was made, and all that has confirmed is that there is a fantastic opportunity to potentially celebrate another treble in June.
We aren’t the scum and live in cockoo land along with the Scottish media with its majority of readers.
We still know, along with Ange and the players that there is still a lot of football to be played still, for that prize to be earned.
Still remain confident that it can and will be achieved, along with the majority of couldn’t care less about how the scum with its allies go about in trying to stop it either
Pish STAINED AULD Jakey.. Nurse Nurse Where’s my soup lol!!
Of course every Celtic fan wants to win the treble and of course that does give you the bragging rights which goes a long way in the Glasgow goldfish bowl. However, if you were to ask Ange what his goal is, it’s not beating Newco or lifting the Scottish cup either. His main priority is winning the league then pitching his wits in the Champions league. He sets a higher standard (we never stop ) and I have no doubt he’s making plans to dine at the big table next year.
Auld Spew Heevins sitting there with his Janet &John reading book and crayons trying to think up some controversial shite,nothings more controversial than those predictions week after week wishing and hoping Celtic drop points.
Janet and John is too difficult for him.
The colouring in book and crayons tax him enough.
Rumours have it that another million quid of confetti shsres have just been purchased over at sevco land.
Announcement to be made tomorrow morning this is money to cover this month’s wages.
The Pope should buy the shares, and fk Kevin’s , dont listen or read him.
I have a better life watching adverts on funeral insurance tv programmes before i get admission to the Hospice.
Friday on SSB he was claiming the no away fans allocation was linked to the League getting called early
Madness
Hugh Kevin’s comments yesterday stating its looking like their going to drop 2 points. No Kevin just like the rest of your mates that sing ” WERE SIMPLY THE BEST “. You made this statement with 10 remaining and your a supposed football pundit. I’m serious, my girlfriend who pays no attention to football at all but quietly watches Celtic with me said…. quote, Celtic score a lot of goals towards the end of a game!?!? That’s someone who doesn’t watch football, what’s his excuse
Keevins is the biggest Uncle Tom ever in Scottish msm.
I can imagine he even gets his kicks out of reading criticism such as this. The very fact he has 50 years experience in journalism, plus a deep knowledge of how this country operates, makes Keevins and his offerings all the more contemptible.
Who can blame him (Keevins) ? He keeps a cut of the licence fee for talking crap that almost no-one notices.
Do you know what? I really don’t care.
Why do you give him the time of day
Your obsessed by him
