, who was disgruntled after Celtic’s impressive victory last night, was at pains to emphasize that the bhoys SHOULD have lost 12-1 to

Dortmund. I have frequently contemplated the most appropriate terminology for Tom English. And despite the passage of time, the same concept continues to permeate my thoughts. English is a language that is capable of changing its appearance.He assimilates into his environment. Yes, to a certain extent. However, his animosity toward Celtic is unmistakable. He rapidly dissociates himself from his environment when he intends to disparage our organization. I have written extensively about this subject. I do not presume to comprehend the reason for his intense disdain for Celtic, which is all the more perplexing when one considers that he is Irish. However, I can almost certainly confirm that I am aware of the circumstances that led to this. In Ireland, we would say, “He became associated with the incorrect group.” And when that occurs in Ireland, there is no turning back.

Once you align yourself with the incorrect group, you are irrevocably a traitor. Tom English seems to wear that label as a badge of honor in Scotland, and it is impossible to throw off. He has accepted his identity and is now demonstrating it through his behavior toward Celtic. Therefore, it was evident on his X feed last night that it was an utter nightmare for him to give any credit to Celtic and Brendan Rodgers for their performance in Bergamo. He responded to remarks regarding the outcome with a bitter tone in his commentary and his responses. Whenever he granted credit, it was necessary to counteract it with commentary regarding what could have transpired in Dortmund three weeks prior. This unequivocally illustrates English’s utter incapacity to interpret the environment. The Dortmund outcome is no longer a matter of concern. The inability of English to acknowledge that the outcome of last night was the precise response required to that demonstrates the absurdity of his comments. It is evident that he harbored the desire for Celtic to be in yet another state of obscurity last night. And even when they were not, English was unable to resist referencing the Dortmund result from three weeks ago.

His intense dissatisfaction was demonstrated by his inclination to engage in discussions regarding Dortmund’s potential outcomes. I am uncertain as to what to refer to the TwiXt in question, as it is no longer possible to use the term “tweet.” “Which is not our style of play.” What actions should we take? Sit back, possess 15% of the ball, and likely suffer a 3-0 or 4-0 defeat. That was Brendan Rodgers’ post-Dortmund performance. At times, it is permissible to defend in numbers and rely on fate when confronted with superior opponents. It is possible that the realization has finally occurred. — Tom English (@TEnglishSport) October 23, 2024 Clicking on it will magnify the comments and allow you to read English’s responses to Celtic supporter’s comments. A desperate attempt is being made by the SMSM to maintain the Dortmund outcome. Tom English is the most notable. This morning, I reviewed James Forrest’s article on The Celtic Blog, and he raised a highly relevant point. He emphasized that Dortmund conceded five goals to Real Madrid on Tuesday night. James also correctly asserted that teams such as Dortmund and Real Madrid are capable of defeating anyone and each other when they are in top form. This is the outcome of encountering elite European teams. It is the extent to which they can humiliate not only you, but also each other when everything is in order. This should be known to any journalist who is worth their salt.
