How these people are ever deemed competent for a national radio station truly baffles me. She is absolutely hopeless. Stutters & stammers her way through interviews & presenting, gets names wrong. Just awful. Hate to say it, but it’s just a box ticked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkboy Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Michael Stewart phoning in from Dingwall today via an old tin-can on a string by the sounds of things. That said, Al Lamont is a much less annoying host than Kenny McIntyre 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's a good host and talks about a wide range of clubs. Sadly we all know as soon as the league begins we'll go back to the usual Sevco/Celtic borefests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Al Lamont enthusing about Rory Loy seemlessly switching from being a competent reporter to a competent interviewer. That's what happens when you stick a mic in front of someone with a measurable intellect, unlike some of the other guys they use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkboy Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 It was really nice having Open All Mics be actually listenable after all of last season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) The League Cup format of Open All Mics shows what it could he. They have a good selection of games across the country featuring teams from all leagues, they talk about the teams involved, they talk about a range of subjects. It was an enjoyable listen. Sadly next week it will return to the usual myopic pish of wanking over two teams with a brief mention of the other Premiership teams who are playing. Almost all discussion, pre, during and post match will be about two teams and what signings they've made and who said what about them and blah fucking blah. Glad I won't be listening.

miketheheadlesschicken Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 They only covered the games they had reporters at which meant they mainly ignored the biggest result of the day. Surely it should have been the headline story after full time? Some of the goal updates from the other games were really slow as well. Updating listeners on when goals happen should be the very minimum of a show like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone vs Stirling Albion seemed like a routine and probably dull home win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They decided not to cover 1 out of the 8 groups and 1 out of 6 Premiership teams. Seems an odd choice to me but fair enough. To then not have it as the lead story seems daft. Today’s programme wasn’t coverage of today’s cup games. It was coverage of the 8 games they’d sent reporters to and the occasional update on the other games if/when they could be bothered, which to me isn’t different from most weeks. Doesn’t matter to me whether they take up time talking about the Old Firm when they aren’t playing or, as they did today, Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, it seemed like a routine and dull home win meaning neither team would qualify, so can understand why they never sent anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst presenter they could have chosen bar Jane Lewis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Listening in the car on the way home today and Jane Lewis had a peak Alan Partridge moment. I can’t really describe it, so you’ll need to listen from the 30 minute mark in the podcast: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0g3thmg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's only P&B that's realised. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
