    Doddsie is o.k.

    I'm sure he is but unfortunately like almost all ex-professional footballers employed by Radio Scotland as 'pundits' , he lacks the qualities of insight, erudition, marshalling of basic facts (and indeed basic grammar) required to perform what is essentially a journalistic role. To paraphrase, just because someone used to drive a Taxi doesn't make them an expert on the workings of the internal combustion engine..(or whatever it is you call it).

    What a great day for Sportsound. Not only has Neil McCann been taken away by Caley Thistle, but Billy Dodds has just gone there as well. Hoof*ck*ngray.

    Alarmingly Richard Gordon falling over himself to assure 'Doddsie' that his sportsound seat would be left open. Wish BBC  Scotland would use this opportunity to permanently clear out their sad array of semi-literate ex pros and replace them proper coherent sports j journalists.

    Man that specifically names someone as an “Irish arsehole” instead of just an “arsehole” in sectarian finger pointing shocker.

    For the purposes of sectarian balance may I put on record my opinion that the character of 'Mackenzie ' in Emmerdale is very much a "Scottish arsehole"  Other nationalities of arsenals are, of, course , available in the foyer.

    So you shut down the thread because people posted stuff you didn't like?

    f**k me, lad, you've not got the hang of this Internet malarkey at all have you?

    I warned that if anyone else just posted some generic name of a pundit without reading the thread title I'd bin the thread.

    My idea was actually interesting rather than the usual generic "I DoNt LiKe kRiS bOyD" takes which I wasn't interested in. 

    What could possibly be more interesting than "I don't like Bonner, Boyd, Uncle Tom English an' aw" ? Say who you don't like and, if the mood takes you, why .   Simple yet effective. Hours of harmless invective.

  5. I think a comedy panel show entitled "Along Came Bonner" should be pitched to BBC Scotland.  Just various statements followed by the shows title. eg:

    "After years of struggle to finally eradicate the vile racist 'thick Irishman' trope from Scottish society .....Along Came Bonner."

    With today marking the first time in over three decades that a non-Old Firm team has won the title, do you think that another non-Old Firm team will win the title next season?

    The Old Firm won it today and will always win it until the rest of Scottish football remove them like the cancer they are.....

    Were you right Greavsie, yes you were ! Try watching clowns like Alan Rough and Stewart Kennedy in the 70's, never mind Frank Harvey and whichever cat like genius was in goal for us at Wmbley in 1955.  Two things Jimmy Greaves was top notch at: goalscoring and his opinion of Scottish keepers .

    Actually Frank Harvey was a decent keeper (Johnstone Burgh 1924-32 , 68 goals cocedect, 3 clean sheets). It is of course Frank Hapless from Wembley 1961.

    Probably Saint & Greavsie, but only because their show had those wee segments where they'd visit a small club for some reason, or they'd visit Trinidad because it looked like they might qualify for the World Cup for the first time, and Jimmy Greaves would have the opportunity to black up, stick on a dreadlock wig, and IRIE! all over the place.

    It can't be stressed enough how dire their banter was, though. Anyone complaining about Off The Ball should watch a few tapes of their studio segments.

    "Ha ha ha! Scottish goalkeepers, am I right Greavsie! Ha ha ha!"
