GG Riva Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Tam Cowan can be a witty and funny guy, but he`s made a complete @rse of himself here:- https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/former-hibs-star-marvin-bartley-accuses-fellow-bbc-pundit-tam-cowan-of-bullying-over-racism-row-3955215 Good on Marvin Bartley for calling him out. His job at the BBC could be on the line. He can`t dismiss everything with "Ach, it wis only a joke." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al k Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) I've never been sure on Tam Cowan to be honest. Think he pushes a lot of stuff off because he's a "Cheeky chap". Good on Marvin. Edited December 16, 2022 by Al k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Cowans time has been and gone for at least a decade now. He’s not kept up with changing attitudes and it will be the end of him, not that he’ll accept that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His opening line was "Aw right you c*nts?!" I don't think I'm a prude but that made me cringe. Plenty folk round about me were laughing though, so maybe I'm just getting old..... Worse was to follow when he directed some sexist stuff at Margaret Ross and then laughed it off when he saw she didn't find it funny. There was a thread about it on botnet next day and Tam joined so he could defend his corner with his usual "It was just a laugh, bit o banter" line.

rosythpar Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I like tam but he was an arse to Faiss at a poty event at the conference centre a few years back. Not keen on that Bartley with his past but tam has made an arse of himself here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be doubted Marvin’s past behavior at time was unacceptable. That doesn’t mean he can’t call out others for their behavior now.

Keyser Soze Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Cowan is a misogynistic borderline racist cretin. A horrible specimen of a man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point you're trying to make here, Par_fect? Is it that he deserves to be mocked (and racially abused) because he was convicted of threatening behaviour towards a woman (and cheated on his girlfriend)?

There was a thread about it on botnet next day and Tam joined so he could defend his corner with his usual "It was just a laugh, bit o banter" line. I remember that, it was absolute cringe. It reminded me of the time I met Alex Salmond at Perth Races when I was there with my football team. He tried to insert himself in the conversation by being ‘one of the lads’ f-ing and c-ing and he just looked like a bellend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
