BBC up to old tricks as English discredits Rangers’ win

Tom English has let slip his bitterness at Rangers’ stunning Champions League win by blaming PSV for their performance and criticising a number of players in the Light Blue.
Following the BBC’s ceasefire with the Famous, the content from Pacific Quay has been markedly elevated in tone and positivity, but English has always been filled with nonsense and that nonsense betrayed him as he penned his latest:
“….did what a battalion of PSV men singularly failed to do in an increasingly slapstick fashion…”
“….he also condemned the hosts to a purgatory entirely of their own making”
“Rangers couldn’t get out, couldn’t find much accuracy, couldn’t offer much hope to their supporters who, in their own minds, must have been steeling themselves to say their goodbyes to the possibilities of Thursday’s draw, the hope of a Real Madrid and a Liverpool, the glamour of a Manchester City and a Juventus. Hello, Europa League, old friend. We’re back.”
“Andre Ramalho was probably entitled to miss the danger presented by Malik Tillman in that moment because Tillman hadn’t really been mapped offensively to that point. The Bayern Munich loanee worked hard to get involved in the game, but the most powerful telescopic lens couldn’t have picked him out in the opening hour.”
Instead of purely focusing on praising Rangers, English finds himself mostly undermining what Rangers did, by highlighting what he claims are PSV’s self-inflicted wounds.
This is typical fare from English, to begrudgingly praise Rangers but put an unspeakable amount of conditions and disclaimers on it.
The better team won. There really isn’t much more to add.
Even if English tries.
