Forfinn Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 14 hours ago, Matthew Mols said: I think apathy for Gordon is reflective of the Scottish football media as a whole. He has been there for 30 years and, as such, is part of the archaic deadwood that flies in the face of progress and open mindedness. ... See malky Mackay and Alex Rae as examples of men who are given roles they are inappropriate for and under qualified for but are shoe horned in as white Scottish men. In his P&J column following Malky Mackay's appointment at Ross County, Richard Gordon described fans who took issue with it as "desperate to be offended". So as much as he might be a competent broadcaster, that sums your point up nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newspaper columns are by their nature there to prompt the reader to some degree of passionate response and if that doesn't happen the columnist isn't doing it right but to be offended by such a piece, that is a bit desperate. Also, was it a full page column or slightly less? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you know that, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, also plenty other examples of the small minded behaviour that has been a staple for the show since it's inception. As for his reputation as a "competent broadcaster", (as I see this type of adoration has reared his head as if he had just passed away - reminder he isn't even retiring just stepping back from Saturday's) I don't actually like his style. Anyone else notice come the full time whistle he burps and splutters his way through the results? Also his incessant laughing in between every sentence. Not everything is that funny. Especially when people bring up serious topics. Sportsound needs to move with the times. Give Scottish football the coverage it deserves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The main positive is it’s not Jane Lewis. In other news, that’s the first time I’ve seen a picture of Kenny Macintyre, and yet somehow I always knew he looked like that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Great news for people who like lots of unnecessary aggressive shouting and shoe-horned controversy on their Saturday afternoons. Dreadful, dreadful news. I can't believe the BBC still employ this guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Listen to the Saturday show infrequently so doesn’t have a huge impact on me, but that’s a shocking choice. Constantly tries to stir the pot, and can be quite aggressive at times. Hopefully means his days of bullying Darryl Broadfoot and spurring on Tom English on the Sunday/Monday show are over though.

And he’s probably the best of the rest of the regular presenters of Sunday/Midweek Sportsound in recent years...... (Jane Lewis and the insufferable David Currie being the others who spring to mind). What? He's an arch sticky bun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
