We all know the Scottish press is geared towards their target audience in Glasgow but today has seen the mainstream media in “the best small country in the world” take a cheap shot at Hibs following Neil Lennon’s departure from Easter Road.
Keith (every Rangers player was attacked or spat on) Jackson, one of the chief fabricators on the payroll at the Daily Record, claims Hibs performed an “embarrassing climbdown” and headlines this in his most recent article for Scotland’s largest failing tabloid.
Apart from quoting the official joint statement from the club and and now former manager Jackson’s article of hypothesis offers no quotes from any insiders or any factual evidence apart from the standard “Record sport understands” guff; an acronym for “we know hee-haw.”
The “story” claims both Lennon and assistant Garry Parker had their contracts paid in full following their “black balling” by Hibs. The use of a Masonic term tells you everything you need to know about Jackson and his ilk at the Record.
Jackson should concentrate on serving his hero James Traynor and steer clear of matters at a football club where he is universally despised by supporters and board alike.
This is the so called journalist who asked Kevin Thomson if he could “just make up comments” (watch the interview on Si Ferry’s Open Goal) after Thommo moved to Rangers but was too exhausted to perform a phone interview with him. Jackson of course came up with the infamous “walk over broken glass” quote which tarnished the midfielder’s relationship with Hibs fanbase.
When it comes to this chancer’s articles regarding Hibernian be well aware of his history of fabricating the truth.
Does the record still actually exist? Never bought it for years…guess I won’t be for many more
