The Men who sold the Jerseys, Geordie-hostility-feeder

889

Congratulations to Mark Daly and the BBC production team behind The Men who sold the Jerseys, who received the award from the Royal Television Society for Best regions current affairs and news event for their documentary into the goings-on in the years before Rangers descended into liquidation.  They won against Grananda’s Hillsborough – The Truth At Last, which centred on a hugely important human and political story, which illustrates the standard of achievement.

Television journalist of the year

Congratulations also to Alex Thomson, of Chanel 4 News, “one of the UK’s leading correspondents. With a portfolio of coverage from Syria to door stepping Kelvin Mackenzie over Hillsborough, to Glasgow Rangers, he displays great range and versatility with a knack for finding strong angles and compelling stories. He brings real authority and storytelling skills to whatever he covers.”

Thomson is a game changer.  Never has a UK journalist had so many people wanting him to stop asking questions, including many in his own industry.  Fortunately he appears to be some kind of Geordie-hostility-feeder.

Good journalism is important. Well done to the winners and those in their support teams.

  1. Just for clarification, when I said I was steering the conversation back to football this was in relation to the numerous ‘independence’ posts and nothing to do with Miki67’s which I hadn’t seen before posting.

     

     

    Miki67, like many others have said, stay strong and positive.

     

     

    Jobo

  2. I’ve got my lovely mrs., and I’m not attention seeking, but I have to talk to my brother before I can say more.

     

    He’d be genuinely hurt if I shared it on an open blog before I spoke to him.

     

    Thanks to all for your concern but, no, I am really not okay, and for the first time in my life I feel genuine fear.

     

    That’s the god’s honest truth.

     

    HH!

    Thanks for the link it worked fine.

     

     

    No wonder the deadybears are going nuts.

     

     

    Alex had mc murdo eating out of his hands.

     

     

    Humiliation in the most cynical way.

     

     

    Hail Hail.

    I visit the cemetery regularly. Can you point me in the general direction of your mum’s grave. I’d like to pay my respects.

  5. Miki67- keep yourself safe until your head clears enough to work out what the news means. Get in amongst people who can support you. I wish you all the best

  6. by saying what you have miki, you are already showing signs of bravery take care. hope you can talk to your brother soon.

     

     

    hail hail.

  7. Always amazed at CFC fans who complain about MIBs and who then go on and urge people to vote for an independent Scottishland!

     

     

    Anyone who thinks the Huns tax case would have ever seen the light of day if Wee Eck was running things must have a hole in the head!

     

     

    Coming from a long line of Labour supporters yet having very little faith in the current leadership I would think Labour are still a long way from being electable in the next election

     

     

    However I always believe that I have far more in common with a working class person in Liverpool,Birmingham,London etc than a Tory from the Highlands who now votes LibDem or SNP

     

     

    An independent Scotland would not be a good place to be a Catholic

     

     

    HHi

  8. Channelislandcelt.

     

     

    My prayers with you and your family in your time of need.

     

    Think of the good times which there will be many that you shared with your mum.

     

    I no it has helped me this past year.

     

    God bless.

  9. Celtic F.C. v Barçelona F.C. 2-1 . One of the greatest nights in my life.

     

    I always wanted to see Messi play live, and I got to see him undone by The Bhoys.

     

    Y’know, I felt it in my soul that that would be a night to remember and I pulled out all the stops to get there.

     

    So glad I did.

     

    And yet again, a big shout out to ‘shady’ for making it possible.

     

    The Celtic Community : the greatest in the world…….bar none.

  10. croppybhoy

     

     

    is the monarch allowed to be a catholic in the uk?

     

     

    aye they are, that’s right I forgot

     

     

    astounded of forehead that you would say the uk is somehow more tolerant of religions, I see that that’s the case for muslims and jews and sikhs…

     

     

    everywhere has their problems, and if scotland is independent ,the problems specific to scotland will be scotland’s problems and we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves for them.

  11. Croppybhoy – you’re right you do have more in common with those in Liverpool, Birmingham and London. We’re all governed by people with no concern for the working class. Particularly those in the north.

    So sad to read of the passing of your mum. Inevitably I think of my own mum who passed away on 6th Aug 2009- last time she smiled was when my nephew told her that we’d beat Dynamo 2-0 the night before she died. You only have one mum mate

  16. Channelislandcelt

     

     

    I’m very sorry to hear about your Mum passing. I know how you feel. First day is difficult. Second day is not easier. Stay strong and my good lady rest in peace. Will be thinking of you.

    Get you tough boy!

  19. Tim Malone Will Tell, 18:48

     

    Would it surprise you to know I’m in London as well?

     

    I’ll drop you a line

  20. ChannelIslandCelt

     

     

    Your Mum was there for you, literally, up to and until her passing…

     

     

    Requiescat in Pace

  21. Ernie are you going to hit us with all the old left wing stuff espoused by Lenin when those naughty Norwegians voted for independence from Sweden in the 1905 referendum?

     

    Are you aware that he is the source of the hair splitting arguments you deploy to say independence for Ireland is good and just but not so for Scotland?

     

    I’m not suggesting you’re a communist. Nor even a socialist for that matter.

  22. Ernie

     

     

    I think you already know.

     

     

    Slovakia.

     

     

    I don’t live in the UK anymore and I won’t again but I will live in Scotland if it becomes Independent.

     

     

    Where I live is irrelevant.

     

     

    I’m a human being with an opinion with a connection to a country where the vast majority of my family reside and politically I have supported Scottish Independence my whole life.

     

     

    I await your Sean Connery jibes with bated breath.

  23. Miki67

     

     

    I don’t know how long you post here?

     

    Our friend Pablophanque used to say in dark days “stay positive”. I liked that.

     

    Sometimes bad news speak volume and leave positives in a shadow. Keep the head up and stay positive.

  24. Ernie – some of your comments are only designed to create offence and misinform.

     

     

    But credit to you – you are good at it! Don’t let facts get in the way of a good rant.

  25. Full-time lurker here, just had to pop in to send my best wishes to miki67. love reading your posts and the angrier the better. look forward to reading them for years to come. Keep the faith.
