Live commentary from Celtic Park. Fine. Then no commentary for the 3pm games. Then live commentary for the Kilmarnock v Rangers game. At least they have reporters at all the Championship games, although given there was a game last night and Hibs play tomorrow, they surely should have reporters at games in Leagues One and Two today and/or commentary of a 3pm game. Apologies if they do actually have someone at Falkirk and Hamilton.

MacIntyre: "HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TEAMSHEETS? LET'S GET A COMMENT FOR EACH RANGERS PLAYER TODAY... BUTLAND?"

Fortunately the pundit (Steven Smith?) realised how tedious that would be and said that no Rangers player got pass marks.

Fucking doom and gloom because The Rangers got beat, you'd think they'd died again.

I wanted to make a comment about them closing the program early but didn’t want to be disrespectful to Robbie Shepherd.

Was listening in the car earlier and some of the patter was horrendous.

”Willie did you see that there was an Edinburgh City boy on Love Island?” Not like there’s games on the go we could be getting updates on. 
 

The whole format needs ripped up and starting again. 

Surely there needs to be a better system for letting other members of the team know that there’s been a goal/chance/red card rather than screaming “CHANCE” when someone else is giving an update

Like any good Aberdeen fan Robbie would have been lapping it up tonight

Thought the coverage yesterday was really poor, focused almost entirely on old firm. Listened to podcast today and there was a very brief summation of the 3pm games and the rest was analysis and post match reaction of the Celtic v Ross Counry and Killie v Rangers.

We do joke about it, but there is a marked difference in the content of the programme when it is Kenny Macintyre hosting, as opposed to pretty much anyone else

I don't think the entire format needs ripping up, definitely plenty of room for tweaks. But the basic format worked fine for years with Richard Gordon, and was perfectly fine with Al Lamont in charge last weekend. MacIntyre is just absolutely brutal though, he actively has contempt for every team outwith the Old Firm. But even ignoring that major flaw he's just guff at filling time.

So we end up hearing the same shite about VAR every week. Meanwhile he's got no control or authority either so Michael Stewart & Alan Preston just steam roll everyone, Preston to talk about some nonsense he should keep to his group chat (or to sing the praise of one of his clients while not mentioning he's their agent), and Stewart to be a contrarian. At least being a contrarian means he isn't an Old Firm lover.

I'd like the old boys network replaced, ideally with people who can string two sentences together, although Derek Ferguson isn't the worst and he doesn't exactly come off like the sharpest knife in the block. He at least gives a shit about the game he's watching and doesn't come across resentful he's being paid to go to the football. But getting Kenny McIntyre relegated to curling or something else I don't watch would instantly make the show more listenable. By an order of magnitude.

FTFY

It's an editorial decision to be even more Celtic/Sevco focused, not McIntyre's, although I doubt he's displeased with such a direction. If you replace him little will change.

This is probably fair, although that doesn’t stop him being a semi-literate halfwit who is absolutely in his element encouraging Michael Stewart to yell for twenty minutes at Willie Miller about Borna Barasic’s transfer value in the middle of reading out the Motherwell team sheet.
