  • Ruined

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but she couldn’t be more one sided if she tried. She didn’t condemn the minority who ruined a minutes silence at rugby park and made excuses for it.

  • Painfully bad!

    Condescending and bias coverage which pretends to be neutral for some unbeknown reason. Just be honest, we’re not stupid. Even if I was a Celtic fan, then there is far better, honest and insightful content for that persuasion.
