After the Aberdeen match on Thursday I got back to my car at about 9.50 and listened until the programme finished at 10.30. Not once did Currie run through the four scores of the Scottish teams that night. I picked up the Celtic and Hibs scores from the interviews of the two managers, but had no idea what the final score at Perth was until I got home. Richard Gordon will read out all of the scores a few times after all the matches are finished and certainly just before the show ends. How does David Currie continue to be used as a sports presenter? Is the correct answer because he is a knowledgeable an reliable broadcaster with an easy going manner and an enchanting turn of phrase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chipping away at budgets means that evenings without games will allow Bryan Burnett to get on all the options. Long gone are the various magazine programmes that filled the hours. Monday seem to be the exception and for me, that remains an entertaining listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That a man receiving tweets on what people are having for their tea is the prime evening show on the national broadcaster at least shows that the BBCs contempt for their audience isn't confined to football coverage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a p***k because on one show (songs that mention unusual professions) I sent in Free Electric Band by Albert Hammond (mentions a civil engineer) and he laughed saying that wasn’t unusual for a song.

Fucking silly ex Northsound c**t. I went through a spell of listening to this a few years ago, quite enjoyed it but let the sportsound boys get in the way and haven’t been back. Now don’t listen to either, been listening to a 10 CD box set of Bob Marley and have felt quite at peace with things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
