The Village Idiot’s Meltdown On The Kyogo-Shankland “Debate” Has Celtic Fans In Hysterics.

One of the most satisfying things about the weekend was seeing The Village Idiot scramble with that gurning look on his face as the rest of the panel asked him if he was standing by his comment about Lawrence Shankland being the best finisher in Scotland in light of Kyogo’s finish which even the Ibrox boss, for all his own moaning, described as “world class.”

I’ve looked at the reaction online, and I’m pleased to see most people find it as hilarious as I did. His meltdown was second only to the one from Clement.

The Village Idiot didn’t get that name for nothing.

This is the guy who once tried to draw public attention to the number of goals he scored in Scotland’s top flight as compared to the number Larsson scored.

All that did, of course, was bring home to people what a delusional egotist he is, and how thick. It’s the sort of thing that deserved mockery forevermore and cemented him as someone impossible to take seriously in any manner.

There was a certain inevitability to Kyogo scoring against the Ibrox club, and every person at Celtic knew it because they knew he’d get the kind of space he hasn’t had recently against other sides. On top of that, we’ve watched him score outrageous goals in the past two years and so there was always a chance of him pulling off something otherworldly.

The Village Idiot set himself up to look like a mug here, and his snarking reaction to being asked a simple question was that of someone who does realise how stupid he looks, and that he should never have put himself in that position.

And oh how we laughed!

When it comes to his central claim about Shankland it is so daft as to be un-spinnable.

Shankland played for a brief time in Belgium, as The Village Idiot himself played for a brief time in Turkey, but these guys are SPFL level footballers and it’s widely accepted that Kyogo could go and play virtually anywhere in Europe.

But Shankland, who has spent a lot of his time in Scottish football’s lower leagues, is a better finisher than him? Dear God.

I mean, this is one of those debates where you don’t really want to get into it even though you know you are right because it is such an absurd one.

But it was the way he stubbornly refused to shift his position even after it had been held up to ridicule which astonished me and made this a worthy point to discuss.

The wee man made him look like a chump and his petulant, idiotic reaction to it confirmed again that he is totally amateurish and should not be near punditry.

The more you see this clown the more you wonder how he ever wound up with the gig in the first place. There has to be an answer to that.

I’m told that it’s a cronyism thing and that his best mate’s old man has a senior position at Sky and if I can pick up that titbit surely people at Sky have to be asking how someone this stupid and unprofessional has wound up on the air?

Nevertheless, there are times when just seeing his wee crying coupon is a pure pleasure and this was one of those times. The question about Shankland was so obvious that he must have known it was coming but he looked for a second like a man who had been hit in the face with a wet fish, then the lower lip quivered and he started to squeal.

And it was as hilarious as the Japanese Bhoy’s goal was magnificent.
