Harsh, but fair. Tom English has his own thread. Kenny Mac and Biscuits are c***s is far more appropriate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has exactly the same shtick when it comes to rugby. There is nothing better than when Glasgow or Edinburgh cuff one of his beloved Irish provinces - his salty tears almost come right through the radio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I used to really like Tom English. It was welcome to have someone on the midweek show who knew what words were for. I agree though, that he really does just witter banalities as it they're profound these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 "Tell me which Rangers players you'd keep and which you'd get rid of". "There's a big list of 36 players here." Nope, turned off. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketheheadlesschicken Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Kenny McIntyre after the games have finished: “Incredible afternoon. So many talking points” Kenny McIntyre halfway through the first half: “What do you make of Peter Grant’s point that Celtic have tougher games in training than they do in the league?” 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefki Kuqi Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 BBC Sounds and BBC Sport are both seriously shite. This game comes on during Sportsound, clearly advertised to be happening. Yet at 6pm suddenly Radio Scotland defaults to the diddy shows with no clear option as to how to get to 'Radio Scotland Extra'. Meanwhile BBC Sport are doing a live-text of the game but you can't even click on usual icon to listen. They've gone to all this effort to get a broadcasting team with multiple co-commentators and pundits for a fixture with a reasonably exciting premise, yet most partially bothered radio listeners have been punted. So easily rectified too, amateur IMO. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"An incredible afternoon. So many talking points Thommo - why don't we start at Ibrix?" Seconds after saying how it was a routine victory for Rangers, talking about how good Hibs looked at Livi and saying what a big win it was for Motherwell in Dingwall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Bonnet Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I had Sportsound on the car radio on the way to and back from Firhill today. The first half-hour was a fascinating insight into the merits of one team's entire playing squad, several of whom I've never heard of. On the way home there was a quick read through of all the results between more comments from Ibrox. Just as well Celtic weren't playing today otherwise we would have heard even less about the rest of Scottish Football. Richard Gordon used to always give a summary of results, scorers and league positions for all the Leagues and you would have at least some idea of how the season was going for every team. Now I scroll through P & B to find out what's happening with the other clubs. I stopped buying newspapers after flicking past the first six pages of the Herald Saturday Sports Supplement devoted to Old Firm stories despite neither team playing that day and with a full League programme and a Scotland Rugby International. Listening to Sportsound might go the same way - I don't want to tune into McIntyre's tabloid fake controversy and Old Firm centred viewpoint.

Gianfranco Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Edit as it was the wrong thread. I quite enjoyed open all mics today but maybe that was because Motherwell actually won. Edited March 4, 2023 by Gianfranco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually hilarious. Going through their entire squad. And they've won something like 14 out of 15 or 16 games or whatever. Why don't they call out the frankly pathetic behaviour of Rangers fans? I have no love (or hate) for Beale but he is shining like a paragon of virtue with his actions compared to the drooling hordes that view the goings on of the entity operating out of Ibrix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 In fact even the choice of that game for the live commentary at 3 pm was so telling of their servile and supine nature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 They never stop telling us Radio Scotland can be found by talking to a spy-machine they call a 'smart speaker' or on whatever 'BBC Sounds' is. With an implicit 'If you're listening on MW810 or FM94.3, go away.' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
