The problem with guy’s like Richard Keys is that for all their knowledge of the game, they actually know nothing about football outside their English borders.
And I genuinely mean that.
How often do we hear people south of the border spout garbage like “My nan could win the Scottish league” or “I could win the league with Celtic” when, in truth, these idiots couldn’t list the names of any Celtic player?
Then you have Richard Keys. The disgraced former Sky Sports presenter who was sacked from the broadcaster for misogyny spouting nonsense like this:
Do we think the charges levelled at City are in any way comparable to/worse than those that saw Rangers relegated to the bottom tier of Scottish football – without due process? Good to know their CL titles are safe though. 😂😂

Now you don’t need me to go through what is wrong with this tweet and it’s inaccuracies so I’ll let you see how Key’s ignorance was dealt with by the fans and Celtic bloggers:
The Celtic Blog: “An absolutely pig-ignorant response from a clown who barely anyone north of the border remembers except for a racist comment about a “Chocko Jocko”. Best buds with a misogynist and bigot. As revealed in this tweet knows fuck all about the game up here or what actually happened.”
Kennybhoy: “Rangers we’re liquidated owing HMRC. £100m another £164m to other creditors. They weren’t relegated, liquidation meant they automatic lost there licence to play and the Newco had to apply to join the league. That’s the facts undeniable.”
Paul Brennan: “They were not relegated, their legal personality ceased.
Sevco Scotland, applied for membership of the SFA (received provisional then full), SPL (rejected) & SFL (accepted, entry to bottom tier).
Sevco applied for permission from RFC administrators to use ‘Rangers’ name- granted.”
Don’t know where to start with this, but maybe here might not be a bad place 🤷 https://t.co/9D9l429Gvt… https://t.co/3kZef5Cvnq pic.twitter.com/RPmm5Svqy9
