Has he called Rangers “us” again like he did multiple times in the build-up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Chick very nearly just paid tribute to 1966 World Cup winner Bobby Womack there, was a close one but just about salvaged it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 KMac introducing Sportsound just after the 2pm news: 'Today's SPFL in numbers: 8 games off, 2 games in the Premier, and the 19th full-time manager at Ranjurs...' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 6 hours ago, Mark Connolly said: Chick wanking himself into oblivion because Souness told him this morning some vague story about doing something for Rangers. Chick now fucking raging because English and Crichton have pissed all over his chips. Glad I’m going to the United game today, because with Chick as the reporter, there’s not likely to be any real coverage of it. Haha heard that. He seemed pretty annoyed when they asked him for details. I have no doubt Chick Young is a St Mirren fan. I also have no doubt he's a huge Sevco (previous Rangers, before they died) fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squalor Vic Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 McIntyre and Young pulling there puddings at Souness coming back to ibrox was peak Sportsound today. I'm sure they mentioned how his football 'knowledge and wisdom' would be great for Rangers. English, as much as he's a bam at times, was spot on when he questioned Souness' knowledge on Scottish football 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BukyOHare Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Driving home today and thought I'd stick on the National station to get the final scores coming in from around the country. Waited long enough to hear them out after establishing over and over again, rinse and repeat again, that the blue half had won. I thought it was an audio stream for R*ngers TV I'd managed to stumble across. It's not good enough. Not even hiding the clear bias and airtime given must drain the patience of what should be a dedicated committed core audience. Too long to give the scores from any other senior game and I cant think of any reason why they can't read out scores from other football leagues and heaven forbid, other sports too. I can't believe the decision makers think this is a format to grow and develop the programme and you know, maybe entertain the majority? Is there a clear opportunity for a third party to come up with a rival programme that covers everybody on a Saturday as equally as possible? The different platforms, bright ideas and technology that's out there makes you wonder. Edited October 21, 2023 by BukyOHare 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a dinosaur & completely out of touch with modern day football, let alone Scottish football. It would be a very poor decision if The Rangers turn to him in any capacity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I get irrationally angry about Graeme souness and his attitude to Scottish football. I think it’s because he airs his views in an English football context and they all pat him on the head for it. Id be surprised if he even knows the current rangers team that well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, from when I got into the car after the game until I turned off at Newton Mearns I heard nothing about the Kilmarnock game. Only Kenny Miller talking virtually non stop about Rangers with the occasional mention of Hibs. It was awful. I very rarely listen to Sportsound now after the final whistle as it's basically a Celtic and Rangers round up until the nonsense starts at 5.30. Apparently last night we were getting the musical choices of Aidan McGeady - why? Edited October 22, 2023 by paul wright scores 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encapsulated by his outright mockery of Brighton's choice of De Zerbi as manager because he doesn't know "our league". Basically "Why are they appointing this foreign nobody?" The notion that he had the first idea who Philippe Clement was, let alone any influence in his appointment, is completely laughable, swallowed only by the true lickspittles i.e. McIntyre, Young. An utter anachronism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powers that be on the programme must have regular meetings about future content / direction of travel which is the bigger worry. The 530 slot needs binned as well. How much are taxpayers getting fleeced for every Saturday putting this tripe together? I miss West Sound for their sport coverage from all levels of the game in Ayrshire and also different sports as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same season that plans for SPL TV crashed and burned, leaving no media deals in place for the opening weekend. The BBC eventually got the TV and radio rights (I think from week 2 onwards). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
