Had a look around and couldnīt see this anywhere else.
I wonīt link to the paper in question, but I was shocked to hear on the Terrace Podcast (if you donīt listen you should) about the most recent shambles involving a certain award-winning Scottish football journalist. While interviewing the agent of Alfredo Morelos, he peppered his copy with essentially a bunch of cocaine puns.
That such a prominent member of the press thinks it acceptable to write something not only so potentially offensive, but equally lazy, is pretty horrible. As was the sheer whataboutery of his response to a (admitedly hyperbolic) statement by SRTRC.
I know this isnīt a big deal for most Hibs fans, but having in lived in Colombia I found it absolutely baffling that both Jackson and his editor found that acceptable.
Thoughts?

My thoughts are that Jackson is a lying welt of a man and also a very poor journalist.

Jackson is awful. Truly terrible journalist.
Not a big fan of The Terrace podcast either. Hearts fan on it can be unbearable at times.

One thing I would say tho - if you have a chance to listen to the post cup final terrace podcast, do so. Totally worth it just to listen to Joels reaction - as well as the sheer delight of the Hibby on it.

Lazy journalist writes lazy article using lazy and tired puns.
It would be a bigger story if that **** actually wrote something worth reading.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Jonathan Wilson writing about Kevin de Bruyne. I've read some excellent stuff from Wilson, this is one of his shorter, lighter pieces but it just shows the gap between tabloid filler and properly-researched and thought-out football writing.

The guys a stinking journalist who has absolutely nothing interesting to say about Scottish football. The **** on my shoe and clouds are further ahead of him on the list of things I would canvass opinion of Scottish football from before talking to that absolute welt.

I cant for the life of me understand why any right thinking person, particuarly a Hibs fan, would bother reading anything produced by that hun cretin.
Clicks and reads is what keeps him in a job, clicling and hating it then promoting it does him as much good as if you clicked on it and loved it.
Just ignore him, pretend he doesnt exist, that will hurt him most

Absolute knobber of a guy and disliked throughout the Scottish game. Effectively a patsy for Java.

People complaining about puns? On hibs.net? Surely not!
Seriously, though, what a walloper Jackson is. I'm surprised he wrote anything that could cause upset to the The's supporters and players.

The football coverage in the UK broadsheets is superb - the tabloids basically recycle old stories and pieces with new names in.
Its the difference between football journalists/reporters and football writers imo.
For some reason, we have few of the latter and dozens of the former.

Jackshun is a walloper. Not very bright at all.

Scotland has a history of talent across all areas in the literary world. It's disappointing that we seem to have lost our way in describing our national sport.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Take your average Guardian reader or your average Daily Record reader.
There's your answer right there as to why the standard is higher down south.

Then you have an embarrassment like Jackshun. It's like comparing Real Madrid to a pub team. Should be writing jokes for Christmas crackers. That is about his level.Last edited by Baader; 28-09-2017 at 11:01 PM.
