Big Jaws 570 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) The one redeeming aspect of the ongoing chaos is that, many years from now, it is the comparison with the current shambles that will confirm when Rangers is again a well-run and self-confident club. One might argue that the use of the word concomitant is in itself a concomitant confidence in ones use of language.

Gonzo79 15,299 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I just read a bit of Tom English's report on the Leith Tramps vs Yahoos match. So we have an Irish rugby fan telling us a match between two plastic Irish football teams is "probably - maybe - game of the season" in Scotland's premier division. Well, well... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Personally, I see nothing wrong with use of the word 'concomitant'. English is a rich, varied language, and we should both celebrate and use it. The point of the statement should be to communicate with supporters. If it uses obscure language then it will fail to do that. That's even before considering how inappropriate it was to subject McInnes to thinly veiled criticism. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,422 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Yet again I'm glad to say that I don't pay a penny to the B.B.C. I urge you all to do the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,119 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just watched Sportscene's highlights and, no mention of Ross County's, "stonewall penalty". Owen Coyle claimed grievance on the PQ Bat Phone, Big Dick empathised, and Mikey, Jonathon, and Steven have failed to provide the necessary evidence. I suspect Owen knew he was pushing at an open door? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's even before considering how inappropriate it was to subject McInnes to thinly veiled criticism. It is hardly obscure. Now, if you suggested, say, 'gallimauffry' as a recondite usage , I might have more sympathy with your position. The criticism of McInnies was not 'thinly veiled', and in my view, was justified, although the Club should have expressed it in more diplomatic language and tone. Perhaps, however, that would have failed to communicate its message clearly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
