He asked that today? Thats a P45 question surely?

Yep 100%. Was talking about it now being a squad game and subs can change matches. Unlike old days when only made one or two subs etc... Then asked Richard Gordon something like " however many subs clubs have these days". Utterly staggering.

Imagine humiliating yourself via the national broadcaster on a weekly basis. He must be desperate for the cash or have no morals?

They are all on the BBC gravy train. Wish I was tbh.

Laughed when he suggested this afternoon that the ideal next step for Shankland was to move to Aberdeen then forced to admit that he had no idea he'd already been at Pittodrie. Commentating on his beloved Celtic really should be the absolute limit of his involvement, as he's ignorant of anything outside of Parkhead. Clueless

It’s unreal. He doesn’t even have the decency to learn the names of the players Celtic play  

I know it’s became a bit of a joke but anytime I’ve heard him he genuinely bluffs his way through commentary using ‘the big number 9’ or ‘the wee fella at left back’.

Still in disbelief that Bonner had to ask how many subs teams had

He recently claimed you are allowed to sub an injured 'keeper even if you've already had all 3 substitutions because it's a specialist position.

Erm, no Pat was Richard Gordon's answer.

Perhaps Private Eye could start a "BonnerBalls" feature to replace the old Coleman Balls one?

The problem is that he belongs to that select band who are so stupid, they think they're clever.

He will have no sense at all that he's humiliating himself.  Such insight is confined to his listeners.

Packie Bonnar always sounds like he's had a good few pints of Guinness any time I hear him.

Comes across as a nice enough fella but a fucking terrible choice of pundit/co-commentator for a national broadcaster to employ.

Derek Ferguson was sitting behind me covering the Queens game today.

I swear I heard him say that Thistle had brought on Quitongo about fifteen minutes before they did.

When the Killie power failure happened today, there was a 10 second silence, before someone decided that the best backup anchor man was................Billy Dodds.

You could see the panic on his face just by listening to him stammering through 5 seconds of jibbering before passing over to someone else at another game.

Probably not helped by the fact that Dodds hates Killie with a passion. Rejected as a youth and never forgiven us. Don't get me started on Scott McDonald.

I do recall someone asking Stephen Craigen if he felt McDonald would be good for Dundee Unitedand he replied he will be a good influence on the park.When pressed they asked him will he be a good influence at the club and Craigen again replied he can be a goodinfluence on the park. Was blatently obvious to anyone that Craigen felt Scott would not be a good influence or role model off the park.

He sounds like an odious little shit.

Once you noticed it, you can never ignore it. In any other walk of life, not being able to do your job would stop you from doing your job. I can only assume Pat Bonner has gambling debts, because you could genuinely pluck someone from this forum and they’d offer more insight. There must surely be at least one other former Celtic player with the common decency to learn the Livingston goalkeeper’s name.

I was listening to him commentate on Hibs vs a non-Celtic opposition, and tbf to him he did at least begin to recognise Martin Boyle.

Hilariously everything, and I mean EVERYTHING about the rest of the game was described in almost exclusive relativity to Martin Boyle regardless of his impact on the situation.

Caught him pre-Killie vs Hibs yesterday saying that Lennon had brought “the Dutch boy at left back” into the Hibs starting line-up.

It’s not like he needs to memorise this stuff, he can write it down so that he can read it back!

[Moses Supposes]

It's not just the old drinking buddy culture epitomised by the likes of Chic, Bonnar and Biscuits and whatever other dross hangs about these days that needs shown the door. They have to start at the top. Directors, producers, commissioners, journalists, writers -- they all need to go. BBC Scotland is abysmal. The whole thing is amateurish, make-do, complacent, antiquated, churned out. 

I'm for closing it down. The talent isn't there in Scotland. When it's regurgitating past-its-sell-by-date stuff like Still Game and presenting it as its flagship output you knows the games up the pole.

He's a smart guy and just said it that early to make up for the delay while the radio signals travel.
