Dirty Sanchez Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Prepared to be corrected here. I just heard Pat Bonner saying he watched Lawrence Shankland while he was at Ayr, and he went told Ayr manager Dougie Imrie how great Shankland was. Did I miss Dougie's stint managing Ayr? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Turned this on just before 3, knowing fine well there wouldn't be commentary but thinking they might at least have a reporter providing updates from Stair Park while they pore over the Premiership games in the studio. First two minutes I had it on I could barely make out a word anyone said as Robertson, Bonner and English shouted over each other about whether Shankland was good enough for Celtic or not, then wished I couldn't hear anything as Bonner revealed that when Shankland was at Ayr he talked to then Ayr manager Dougie Imrie about him. I rarely have the misfortune to listen to this, but it's not gotten any better in the next 30 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we got to hear from some Celtic fan phoning in to give their pointless opinions, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 This is fucking shite. Do they not have the rights or do they think more people want to her some full kit saddo phoning in from the house? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Music garbage aside, I’m enjoying listening to Tom English being served some humble pie from that St Murn fan. He’s such a pompous, squirming weasel of a man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Why are they pretending Tom Stoltman is a Ross County fan just because he's from the Highlands?! He's a massive Rangers fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 @HibeeJibee Pretty sure I heard Richard Gordon say earlier that no player had scored a hat trick in the Premiership this season. Is that true, and has it ever happened before in the top division in Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Shite chat laughing at Aberdeen having to play 'Elgin away' in league cup group stages. Needs a complete clear out and change of attitude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Sportsound has had a very bad season, it's fair to say. The tone of the show is really poor, and the pursuit of controversy is actually damaging for those involved. You can tell that a few of the contributors simply now do not like each other, and I think it's clear that's a direct result of the confrontational nature of the show. I'd honestly hate to work in an environment like that. Their coverage of the lower leagues is dreadful, and summed up by it not even really being noteworthy that they had nobody at the pyramid play-off and even finished their coverage yesterday before it was completed. That really is shocking. Sadly, it seems we've basically lost it as a show. It's done. The best way I can sum it up is that I used to listen to Sportsound because I enjoyed it. Now when I listen to it it's because I have to, and for Hearts games I'm not going to, I now just use the vastly superior coverage on Hearts TV. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think supporters of any top flight side can really claim their team isn't discussed regularly. Your team has been spoken about plenty this season, for example. The Edinburgh clubs and Aberdeen gets loads of air time, but I think they cover the Premiership reasonably in terms of how much they discuss the teams, and the cross section of views they have on. The quality of the contributors is a different issue. But from League One down it's appalling. Genuinely embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm more getting at the likes of today, where we had two big games on, but they chose to ignore them and talk about Celtic (going by a previous post, I didn't listen today). Any time I've listened this season (and not switched it off after a manufactured set-to), they've ignored the biggest games in favour of tittle tattle about those two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
