'Hi, I'm Billy Dodds and these are my music choices for Sportsound' Click. That's plenty. The most bizarre thing I’ve heard in a long time. Every League club played today so there’s hunners to talk about yet here’s Billy Dodds picking three songs for the radio. Someone needs to come on and explain this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Diamond For Me Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I do not believe there is a single person in the whole of Scotland who woke up on Saturday morning hoping that by the middle of the evening they'd have gotten to hear what Billy Dodds moght have to say about some songs he likes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only heard Orange Juice “Rip it up” which he enjoyed listening to after defeats as a manager. Guessing he listened to it a few times down the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I was driving back from the game in Perth and it was 5:30 before they got to the match report from the 3rd of 5 top league matches. They just waffle on instead of getting the relevant info out. Inform the fans then do your waffling and fawning afterwards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the audience will be people listing in their cars. Games don't often finish til nearly 5pm anyway and even if you park in a stadium car park, most listeners aren't getting back into their cars or buses until after 5. They always used to gave an immediate reaction as soon as the final whistle was blown but would then do a proper report after the 5 o'clock news bulletin. Now you get the results (which I appreciate since for a wee while we never even got that) but then it's Rangers or Celtic or VAR (or any combination of the three) until much later and forget it if you want a wee report the Championship or below. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wouldn't have minded a serious discussion about it, as Ireland are in some ways a similar sized nation internationally and Lennon obviously has a lot of links to Scottish Football (and him getting an international job would take him off the Merry-go-round of speculation. Instead, Bonnar bottled it and we had a jokey matey "bantz" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans (especially now with lengthy injury time for VAR) are only getting back to cars as the show is essentially wrapping up the summary. I couldn't give a toss who likes what music and can only assume it is dome kind of quota thing due to the volume of sports output? What equally annoys me is the fawning over every detail of certain games. Example is the last midweek games. Almost whole journey home from St Johnstone vs Aberdeen game (c20 mins) was talk of Rangers, Butland, Manager, pretty much everything and Willie Miller at McDiarmid chipped in on Rangers and gave maybe 20/30 seconds on the game he was at, followed by v short interviews with managers before back to Rangers chat. In total maybe 2/3 mins on one game and 17/18 on the one they had just had live commentary on. Obviously, some games and teams are more relevant to title races etc, but at least pretend to give a monkeys about the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
