Why is no one pissing on Teenage Fanclub for ripping off Big Star?

I just find it funny most people single out Oasis as ripping off the Beatles when their arguments are usually ridiculously flat and could technically apply to the same TFC-Big Star example, for instance, except in this case most people think it's cool or something to hate Oasis but not so the Fannies.
I know I'm not making a lot of sense but it's something I do find annoying. Or like Radiohead and Neil Young, if you think about it.

That is only a small part of the song..its a bit of stretch to call it a Beatle-clone really.
