Games just finished as he starts a free-for-all and ignores the the matches just completed. Absolute useless in his job. He doesn't want calm discussion but angry shouting. I wasn’t particularly fond of Richard Gordon, but he at least managed to bring an air of professionalism to the show. Even with Gordon it sometimes felt like a bit of a rabble, but McIntyre makes it sound like an argument at a pub door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell, what must the rest of the candidates been like Pat Bonner and Chick Young collect a wage from the BBC, I don’t think it would have been a rigorous interviewing process. I wonder how much the production team behind the show are taking in wages. There’s a St Mirren fan on Twitter called Douglas McNeil that is apparently a producer for the BBCs sport output in Scotland. He must be doing cartwheels every time pay day comes around each month. How someone could listen to guys like Miller, Bonner and Young week after week and not come to the conclusion that there just might be better people out there is worrying. Jobs for the boys and there isn’t even the slightest attempt to try and hide it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorOnopko Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 9 hours ago, The Master said: They need to adopt the Soccer Saturday approach and allocate the reporters to teams they don't have an affinity with. So no more Allan Preston to Tynecastle or McDiarmid Park, and no more Willie Miller to Pittodrie. That way, it might actually be possible to figure out what's happening instead of being met with screams of joy or despair. I completely agree with you on not sending these morons to the teams they support every week - the orgasmic screams from "Biscuits"' were unbearable yesterday when Hearts scored - although they did tell us immediately which team had scored - he really wasn't all that enthused by the Ross County goal. I usually think of Chick as the wage thief I'd most like to see booted (preferably literally) out of the door of the BBC, but then I am reminded how bad Preston is - as a massively biased commentator, a clueless analyst in debates (like the VAR rubbish yesterday) and an agent constantly publicising his players at the licence fee payers' expense. One small point on the above - I've never heard any screams of joy and despair from poor old Wullie. Perhaps a small rise in cheerfulness at full-time when he can go home - yesterday his full time score/summary was "that's us finished Kenny". He often misses stuff that's happened and sounds absolutely miserable to have to watch football for money every week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have had a golden retriever sitting beside Tam Cowan for the last 20 odd years and it would be heralded as broadcasting royalty in comparison to that balloon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Only covering the 1st half of the Saints v Well game presumably so that Gordon and Miller can bump their gums for 40 minutes about Sellick v Aberdeen before it even kicks off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivo den Bieman Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yep felt the show was terrible yesterday and "Kenny Mac" a sneery weegie w**k. Awful. I switched off the discussion about VAR as it was cringeworthy. Well, as it is. It's always difficult to follow a legend in whatever walk of life and it will take a while for people to stop comparing this imposter versus Richard Gordon. Gordon was far from perfect but was a great professional. Everything "Kenny Mac" isn't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a dreadful habit of losing the thread of a conversation. Occasionally he'd get an interesting discussion going, [during OAM], then some moron would shout GOAL! Off they would pop to some ground for a report, then come back and start talking about something else. He just needed a pencil and a piece of paper to keep track.

This has now been addressed and there's a BBC Scotland Extra. Mad its taken ao long tbh. But shifting to AM isnt much too ask.

VincentGuerin Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The only winner out of Darryl Broadfoot being on the show is Willie Miller, as he is promoted out of the 'worst thing on the radio' position. Broadfoot simply comes across as a Debate Club creep. He willfully misrepresents the arguments of those who disagree with him and uses rhetoric rather than sound argument. A Sportsound future of McIntyre presenting while Broadfoot plays the pedantic creep role is not one I want any part of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
