Thumper

We need to workshop a snappier version of this for it to enter the public lexicon as BGM did. Night Sunglasses c**t, NSC?

Stream from the weekend is up. Ignore that it's spelled "Scottiswh Cup" and be sure to turn your speakers down to 25% before the commentators start.

Fairly sure that if he asked, it'd get fixed. Obviously the regime thinks this is absolutely killer bantz but an announcer who is roughly as popular as Scrappy-Doo is not going to survive that. On the other hand, McCall did repeatedly basically yell at Callum to tell him to ask normal, adult questions and stop wasting his time, and yet Callum's still in a job...

In fairness this is one of the things tourists will notice more. Certainly the only facts I could tell you about e.g. Girvan related to its puggies and its chippies.

Honestly cannot wait for one of the most decorated players in the last twenty years of Scottish football to be asked whether he ever went to Ayr Beach on holiday, and how he thinks the Ayrshire Derby compares to the Glasgow and Edinburgh ones.

What's the strategy for the almost unbearable interviews then?

The retired cop who lives across from my folks has a Celtic 9IAR flag on a fucking pole in the middle of his back garden. Might even tempt him along.

How is this episode 23 years old?

Accies stunk this place out to a greater degree than Arbroath have when they went down and didn't have three quarters of their squad injured either. Being good in League One means absolutely f**k all anyway when you get promoted.

One of the good things about changing manager is it gives everyone a shot at redemption. Conversely it also means that people who walk onto the team sheet every week should no longer be safe.

There should be a hat passed around for the away support.

The Davie White Technique of tranquilising the opposition in the first half and then putting them to the sword in the second works yet again.

Shankland just fucked a penalty as well.

Substitute keeper called Adams on the bench.

Long gone. Definite banter years indicator.

Mind when you rebuilt your stand? Lol.

I know Sportsound has always had a wee crush on Ayr but in between all the direct praise of the club and the indirect stuff that comes from continually gobbling Sir Lawrence, it's all getting very saccharin.

Pishing myself at this.

Michael Stewart sounds like he's chewing on nettles trying to say nice things about Brown.

It's absolutely howling it down in Haarlem right now fwiw.

All indications of these things are that it's usually the kids reading to the players. Don't have time for your ABCs if you want to be a pro.

Are you pregnant?

Hopefully, though as was noted, does he really need to include sly digs at the support in every press release?

Uh oh. (edit: hadn't actually considered that this might refer to backroom rather than playing staff. I think it's probably supposed to refer to the latter though.)
