da_no_1 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Managers' injury update.....maybe light at the end of the tunnel. "For as bad as it is injuries wise, today was a good training session. Breeny trained well, Paul Allan trained brilliant after being out with bone bruising in his knee. Andrew Tod won’t be available, he is seeing a specialist. Deniz obviously was on the bench last week. “Bene won’t make this weekend but come the Ayr United game it will be seven weeks. He was told that he would be back in six weeks but Bene wanted to make that four. He is one that you have to take extra special care with because he will tell you that he is right when he is not.” Also, Summers "touch and go" for Saturday but will be fine for the Ayr game in 2 weeks Edited October 5, 2023 by da_no_1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's sounding more upbeat then that's a good thing no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying anything against your post directly but I am completely indifferent to how the manager sounds in interview, especially when we know he couldn’t give 2 fucks about them. Too much has happened with injuries to not wait and see they are properly sorted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McPakes demeanour depends on how the interviewer asks questions. I know that Jorden is a volunteer, but he both asks and almost completely answers the questions posed. Sometimes his questions are way longer than the answers. The manager is used to being asked questions on camera, but you can see some of the players eyes glassing over. Good on the lad for stepping up and doing his best, but, IMO, he needs to learn to stop half answering questions when asking them.

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Its quite a tough gig but you'd hope the years of doing it would mean improvements in those regards. I had to do interviews after a game for Pars TV once back in the day but luckily they (Jim McIntyre and Graham Bayne) were very good with me, despite the manager getting a little angry when I almost half hinted that the workrate had been better than in some previous games... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I'd pay an extra £20 on my season ticket as would a lot others I expect, if it meant hiring someone part time who can actually interview. Amy Irons' dad not get her to help us out? I'd watch more content if it happened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be handy, but I think the club are happy to allow the volunteers to run with this right now. I think it’ll change in a couple of seasons if/when we hit the top flight. I think the club will take more control of the media outlet at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Steven Mills is a professional broadcaster and seems to do the "big" interviews - player and manager announcements, etc. I don't know how busy he is but unless he's at Central FM or whatever it is 9-5 each day, couldn't he come in either to do some interviews or to do some training? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Aye doesn't need to be a massive training session, just have someone speak to the guys and give them some pointers and feedback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffypinkpars Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 JB has media training through his university media qualifications. If the club didn’t agree with his technique he wouldn’t have been the ParsTV interviewer all these years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
