Miguel Sanchez Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 On 13/08/2024 at 21:17, KirkieRR said: KMaC was on before tonight's game and revealed he'd been on Rangers fan forums (naw!) and had sussed that Sevcoites were worried about what he called 'the Hampden Effect': lack of atmosphere, not being able to pen away supporters in that horrible wee oxter of the big hoose where they can be properly intimidated etc. He quoted some Ibrox leg-end as suggesting playing at Hampden reduced their chances from 70% to 50%. Getting excuses in first. We can only hope Kenny stumbles across P&B when doing his research. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark scott Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 In terms of how many times the football 'journalists' say... "in terms of.." tomorrow, it may be in terms of several dozen times. It may possibly be over one hundred times. Jonathan Sutherland managed to say it 23 times in little over 5 minutes recently. Steven Thompson now appears to have the speech deficiency too. In terms of saying in terms of so often they all sounds mad. It appears that in terms of having a lack of imagination, they have been sucked into this mire, where to sound thoughtful and to buy themselves time.. they will be saying "in terms of" so frequently, that they may all want us to think that they have actually all gone completely bonkers. In terms of them all saying that they touched on this earlier, then listen to Kris Boyd and Leanne Crichton who in terms of saying "touched on this earlier" are taking this to a new crazy level... In terms of being unable to think what else to say. Apologies if somebody touched on this earlier. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another f**king puerile Americanism that should be shunned by anyone over 15 anyway, but taken to new depths by Crichton recently where even she noticed she was saying it constantly, and corrected herself viz "We seen (sic) that right from the g... right from the start of the game". And don't even mention McLeod's latest affectation of referring to the six yard box as "The Six". "Another dangerous ball across the six". No mate, that's a news show n the BBC Scotland channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing, hang on, not amazing that it's taken so long to get to BBC Scotland Rent-a-Pundit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Might download the podcast later, hear what they said about the ownership problems at Inverness and Dunfermline. I'm sure they'll have discussed both at length. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lengthy mewling, wailing and greeting about a decision that, domestically, goes in Rangers (and Celtic’s) favour umpteen times a season and then barely warrants a mention was just . Essential listening. 10/10 - Would recommend. “Well a hugely controversial decision, still waiting to see if the referee blew before the ball went in for that first goal. But Rangers, on balance, worthy winners Neil?” Christ, not even I expected to be proved right THAT soon.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Got in the car, turned the radio on. Right on cue - “MY GOODNESS”.

This is all the more annoying because he never follows it up by discussing the talking points.

He doesn't kid you on when a game is shite, he makes his irritation quite clear when he's been sent to Rangers v Bottom Six when there's a better game elsewhere, and he knows all the teams so can commentate on them meaningfully. Anyone who spends literally hundreds of hours commentating on games is going to say annoying stuff, but he's fine. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
