THE HOTLINES ARE OPEN
A mercifully moderated forum set up for Scottish fitba fans to critique their teams in public, the Daily Record hotline pulsed with the power of 10,000 suns on Sunday. So hot that whoever was manning it had to wear asbestos gloves as they sifted through comments left by supporters of one particular Glasgow team, who felt compelled to rant about “the turgid, unwatchable garbage” (Sean in Cumbernauld) they’d just been forced to sit though by “players not good enough or not performing at a level anywhere good enough” (Kenny in Moffat), who “don’t seem to know what they’re doing” (John in location unspecified). Rather remarkably, these appraisals were among the more printable posted by a selection of furious Celtic fans, who had just seen their team win at home to Motherwell.
