Savage Henry Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Dunno why you all listen to this garbage still. Unless it's a last resort type thing because BBC coverage has been woeful for years. So called pundits who don't know the rules, and in turn so many idiots that listen then take their word as their own opinion, spreading the stupidity and ignorance. What’s the alternative? Clyde Super Scoreboard? There’s your answer. As bad as many of the Sportsound mob are, they’re light years ahead of whichever mouth breathers are on that show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Just now, Crawford Bridge said: He said after the World Cup in Brazil. That was 5 1/2 years ago. Yeah, but I'm sure the sycophantic love in with all the interviews was in the lead up to Euro 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I don’t mind him, he starts a sentence then veers off on 3 different tracks. He works by word association, if his third word reminds him of something else he will start talking about that and so on, the question will never be answered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 To have such glee at your own ignorance eg Nations League playoffs is so utterly contemptuous of the listeners. Fair enough if Tam and Stuart were on about it but we pay money for these people to offer no insight or analysis whatever. Its not like its a one off either. Utterly simple concepts like the league cup group stage seem beyond their ken too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 While I agree their lack of knowledge and understanding of pretty basic things is tragic, anyone who tunes in to this show for “insight” or “analysis” is an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats a reflection on how conditioned we are in Scotland to accept any old shite in all aspects of the game. I think an interest, respect and enjoyment in the game they are paid to cover would be a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsound is prehistoric in nature, old firm pandering and in general guff. Fair point, but would Austin McPhee regard finishing treble runners-up as failure? (or has he had Karl Heinz Rummenigge in his back pocket?). Other than that, I think most dandies would probably agree that Miller can probably overdo it a wee bit - and to an extent was put back in his box by a semi-pished sounding Michael O'Neill on the McPhee thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Onion Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 For me it is totally a job for the boys club, not just with sportsound but right across BBC Scotland football coverage. I think the problem is that there is a pool of them and they dont like to criticize each other if they are talking rubbish or being obnoxious. They close ranks too often and dont like any outsiders coming in and getting jobs that they expect one of their pals to get. They openly give anyone outside their clique absolute dogs abuse and it's getting boring. I dont mind pundits, experts and journalists mixing it up and having different opinions as it can be entertaining, but with the majority of the group they have on regularly right now it hardly matters which one of them is actually on as they all say the same things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
