RussellAnderson Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Some result getting Rory hamilton, the best in the business since Deek Rae hopped over across the pond. I actually enjoyed Tosh and whoever the main comms was on Thurs. Proper odd couple stuff, with Tosh really dancing on the line of endearing/unbearable. Maybe if we hadnt been absolutely flying, Id have been more irritated by him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the previous two lads - I wonder if they are still doing other duties or have stopped completely. I wasn't their biggest fan, but commentating on last year's dire displays with no fans was a hard shift for their last year. FWIW I also thought Iain Crocker's standard was way down commentating on empty stadiums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have satisfied the need when redtv was for overseas viewers or audio commentary in the uk (barely) but if you’re actually wanting to put together a semi competent production then you get rid of them pronto. They seem like alright guys but they are absolutely useless as commentators. Useless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I didn’t mind Andrew Shinie - not the greatest broadcaster perhaps, but had a good run at it.I still remember having to text and correct him though on Northsound Sport when he mentioned in the mid 90s that Hearts had drawn “one of those teams nobody’s ever heard of, Crvena Zvedza”. The fact they’d been European champions a few years earlier clearly escaped him.Dave McDermid though - different kettle of fish - always found him dislikeable. Very aloof, and with ideas way above his station due to being on the inside down AB24 way all these years - if his commentating had been particularly good I could have seen past that, but it wasn’t.His party line was like the Iraqi Information Minister at times, and it made local sports broadcasting pointless listening as nothing the club did would ever be questioned - and even the Black&Gold/DNA Q&Aa with McInnes ultimately had to go through his filter, after a couple of decent early ones.Glad he has gone…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he has gone…… I couldn't stand the fact Shinie was being used as a pundit at half time last season. What right does he have to talk about the performance when it is supposed to be a professional in the role? The two of them likely signed their own death warrant when they publicly criticised the decision to sack McInnes on Northsound. Was a bizarre listen. Yes they were likely pals but it was an odd hill to die on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyDickFingers Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Last 4 posts nailed it, nothing worth adding to that tbqh. Good riddance. Should get our American overlords to throw Kanye over to do the half time dra' and a cameo on the new and improved RedTV when his Aberdeen inspired "Donda" drops tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Quite happy getting Shay in at Cove. Still got pace and a good work-rate and should do well at L1 level. I know a few championship clubs were looking at him and supposedly did well on loan to Hearts but Neilson wanted to lower the age of the squad. He's more of a traditional right back rather than wing back or am I mistaken? 3 year deal is excessive but seems to be the way we are able to get signings over the line. Jevan I know almost nothing about. 1 year deal. Not sure how many starts he'll get. Needs to prove himself when he gets game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Logan I imagine will be good in league 1. Unless he’s gone totally off the rails in his private life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have 1-2 decent years left but not 3. Like I said we must be doing that to get the signings over the line and stop them going to the competition. It's a risky business strategy. We did it with Draper and he looks gubbed already. For me he was a poor signing and wasn't even needed. Bad/lazy recruitment from PH. We seem to be throwing money at aging players who probably could play one level higher right now with the aim of getting to the championship next season. Thing is next year if we are in the Championship these players are maybe not the standard we need to stabilise in that division and hence more big money needs spent Edited July 27, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
