Surely he must hear everyone else and realise that he's the only person anywhere in Scottish football/media pronouncing the name that way? This sort of thing is quite frequent and it does my head in. There was a classic example of it on Thursday on BT for the AC Milan v Arsenal game. The commentator was calling them Milan and the idiot Savage Meelan with the ridiculousness highlighted as they chatted away exchanging the different pronunciations. It shows a lack of professionalism from the broadcaster too for not ensuring continuity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 5 hours ago, cmontheloknow said: In view of Charlie Nicholas' comments this week re: McTominay, he was ranting about 'Englishman' Warren Cummings being picked for Scotland under Vogts on the teatime show, alluded to him being so bad that he was now 'out the game' or words to that effect and then was stopped in his tracks by the guest (whose name I did not catch as I had only just turned on) saying that he had a Scottish accent - "are you sure?" asked Cosgrove? Maybe like Cummings he chould consider retirement as invariably he speaks utter guff and (unlike Tam) isn't funny with it either. Indeed... Cummings was born in Aberdeen, plus only played 45mins v "Hong Kong League XI" in any case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Miller had a spectacular meltdown yesterday. “I don’t know why the Partick Thistle fans are getting excited. I can only assume it’s because they’ve crossed the halfway line for the first time.” As funny as it was, it’s absolutely disgraceful that this dour p***k is allowed to commentate on the Aberdeen game every week for the national broadcaster. He’s every bit as bad as the ridiculous Rangers TV commentator, minus the enthusiasm. Willie Miller gets paid to watch and talk about football but you would be forgiven for thinking that he works down a coal mine for 13 hours a day on minimum wage. Ironically the Rangers TV main commentator is Willie Miller's cousin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a saracstic comment is a meltdown? Seems a bit of an over reaction. Not that Miller doesn’t deserve criticism from past performances but most of the comments he made were about how bad the game was which given the game he was covering seemed fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows a lack of professionalism from the broadcaster too for not ensuring continuity. This used to drive me up the wall watching European games in the 90s. How can someone who's supposed to be knowledgeable about football or even played it professionally not have at least some understanding of how to pronounce furreners' names? I remember the old Champ Manager in the mid 90s used to have pre-recorded voice commentary, but for all the Italian football clubs' names the daft English commentator couldn't pronounce they had apparently roped in some Italian guy to do them. Typically you'd get "<excited English commentator>And here's a chance for</excited English commentator>....<long pause>....<deadpan Italian guy>Pistoiese</deadpan Italian guy>." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Every time they give an update on the Championship scores tonight they miss out the Dumbarton/Brechin game. They haven't even mentioned that there are games in Leagues 1 and 2 let alone give updates or even say when someone has scored. f**k sake, the commentator has literally just said that there only 3 matches being played in the Championship tonight! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet when Richard Gordon was doing the handover thing with the woman on Drive he said "there's a busy programme in the SPFL tonight... and a full card in League Two". When they say they'll be across all the games, it would be nice if they meant it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Peak Chick Young tonight. He was furiously clambering that sectarianism was not just a Celtic/Sevco issue, almost foaming at the mouth about it. He claimed some incident that he saw at Ayr on Saturday as proof, as well as a song that Abroath fans apparently sang about Montrose whilst Danny McGrain was in charge, whilst at the same time utterly belittling that rivalry. He claimed that it was a small minority of people who sing sectarian songs at Cetic/Sevco games. He even managed to get in some SNPBAD. He had the absolute audacity to complain about 'jobs for the boys' over the appointment of Doncaster to the SFA board. The man is a huge cretin 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I was going to post about Richard Gordon’s behaviour towards Chick on Open All Mics. I thought that it was verging on bullying and that it was unacceptable, even although I can’t stand the man. On second thoughts, keep up the good work Richard. Tip him over the edge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Chick Young is an incoherent rambling mess. He starts of with a bit of bombast, says nothing to back up whatever point he is trying to make, just uses anecdotes that are barely relevant and then tails off into gibberish. I heard him on sportsound tonight and was struggling to understand whatever argument he was trying to put forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
