Ewan Murray has been ripping my knitting for years. Last week's Hibs critical piece on the Black Knight takeover is just a pattern of snide negativity he's been writing his entire career, so its not a kneejerk reaction by me.
But this piece on Andy Murray is so vacuous and transparently about protecting a hack mate of is (Kherradine Idessane, a really dense sports journo in his own right) isnt much more than a smear job (subtext-Murray can't take a slagging so lost his cool with a journo in public and is therefore uncriticisable, so Ewan Murray storms in to right this wrong...What ACTUALLy happened, Andy Murray tweeted 'come off it' to a rubbish journo who suggested he should retire. No tantrums, no knitting being ripped.

I actually read it before looking at the author at the top, by the time i'd finished i knew who it was without having to check.

Simon Heffer is possibly the one that annoys me the most still. You sometimes just read stuff by someone whose life experiences, sense of values and morality are so far from your own that it's actually quite hard to get your head around.
As mentioned in the OP - to be reading an article without knowing who it's by only to think "who tf has written this pile of utter muck" and to scroll to the top knowing exactly who it's going to be reflects a particularly obnoxious talent.

A tired windbag who James O’Brien only doesn’t obliterate because he has to effectively share a stage with him.
It’s a shame really because JOB would destroy him."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

I thought Murray's (Andy) response to the original piece was fair. He has earned the right to choose his own end point and when he goes the last 2 or 3 years will be largely forgotten (in terms of results, his determination to play at all is worthy of praise). His legacy is secure.
The other Murray's article is just a soppy defence of his wee pal. It's pitifully bleating and seems to miss the point of why AM was annoyed. Kherradine Idessane tagged Murray in his piece, probably to draw more attention to it, he invited reply and any pile on that resulted was at his invitation.Last edited by Pretty Boy; 04-02-2024 at 12:37 PM.

ALL the bloody royal correspondents being wheeled out at the moment! They are the crappest of all the journos and a joke amongst a pretty ragbag profession.
They showed some of the foreign ones on the news. Some are just ridiculous.

Not the bit that was on fire though, it would just be good to add a bit extra humiliation to his plight.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Hartley-Brewer, Mackenzie, Hopkins, these go far beyond what id describe as ‘annoying’, ‘evil culture war erseholes who must be stopped’ is more like it for me.

"Kelvin Mackenzie, in a Suffolk ditch, In a second hand Hessian sack" made me laugh when I heard it , the hiss on the word Hessian seems to drive home the visceral hatred they have of him.

Another Guardian journalist. Not the most annoying in the UK, i admit, but quite a few paragraphs leave me wondering what the hell he’s actually talking about. Barney Ronay, The king of rabbit hole metaphors.
