The Naitch Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Any chance we can wrap the sectarian pish on this thread and take it elsewhere so the rest of us can get back to discussing how much of a c**t Pat 'Packie' Bonner is? Ta much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 So somewhere like Cumnock, Maybole, Drongan? I grew up in Alloway and I can assure you that they are hell-holes of sectarianism to the extent that there's almost no catholic population there. I guess that's why there's no daily evidence of bigotry. Ever do any caddying on the local golf courses M77? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Just when you think Sportsound can’t get any worse, David Tanner pops up on commentary of Dundee Utd v Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did whatever the listening equivalent of a double take is when he was introduced. Thankfully I got to a TV just before kick off but I’m almost tempted to listen in to the radio out of morbid curiosity.

Aye I'm back in from the shops so got the TV commentary on, but I'd urge you to give the radio commentary a listen. You won't believe how immensely awful it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I've quite liked Neil McCann on Sportsound. Actually says some stuff occasionally that makes him sound like he's actually been involved in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Has David Tanner ever done commentary before? Even in his earlier days he was always a presenter and not a commentator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Ha, it's surely not him?!Wee bit of doubt creeping in, perhaps there are two David Tanners... More info required. Whoever it is is extraordinary terrible Nope, doubt removed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I mentioned this in the match thread but Tanner in today's commentary kept alternating between calling our right back "Seabourne" and his actual name, "Seaman". It sounded for a period in the first half as if he'd realised his mistake but he started doing it again throughout the second half. I'm also pretty sure he asked Rankin or Yogi our McMullin substitute had changed the game barely 2 mins after he'd been subbed on - this was well before the penalty incidentally. As if listening to United's performance today on it's own wasn't bad enough... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I was dotting about today but heard bits of the commentary when I was in the car. Don't know who the third guy was but he was but he came across as quite sensible compared to Tanner and John Hughes who were excruciating. At one point just after an Inverness substitution Tanner said they now had a lot of height up front- Hughes insightful response was "Yip". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Listened to a bit of the Tanner debacle today which consisted of him just saying players names. Not where they were on the pitch or what direction they were moving. He obviously forgot that radio doesn’t do the old moving picture thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has experienced both I'm sure you'll agree that there's a world of difference. In all honesty outside of Glasgow, Lanarkshire and bits of Ayrshire the rest of the county plays at it. That's not to say it's not horribe but we all know where the hotbeds are and the football teams that by their inactions (or in come cases actions) support it. Edit now that I remember I was asked at a job interview for DC Thomson "what school did ye go tae". But they were quite well known for that pish.

Heard the first half on the way back home from Pittodrie and wondered who that was? It was clear he hadn't been trained in radio commentary - kept pausing as if we could all see what was happening on a TV screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 He was absolutely fucking dreadful and if he ever gets another shot at commentating on sportsound then he’s clearly got incriminating photos of someone at the beeb. His raising if his voice at the end of everything he said was excruciatingly painful to listen to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I also listened to parts of this on the drive back to Edinburgh yesterday and was in disbelief at hearing Tanner. I thought we were rid of that c**t forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I listened to a lot of that game on the way home from Pittodrie. I thought the commentator’s voice sounded familiar , but couldn’t put my finger on who it was. He was hopeless. Kept on saying stuff along the lines of “Inverness clear it” , “Inverness have it” ........ no player names , which is a dead giveaway that he hasn’t done much preparation. Special mention also to John Hughes for repeatedly referring to Aaron Doran as “Dorrans” , presumably thinking of the permanently injured hvnn. Bad enough for any pundit , but fully worse coming from Hughes , seeing as Doran was one of his players for a couple of years when he was ICT manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
