Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 A mostly sensible column from Leckie about the SPFL playoff system and the Conference League nonsense, but I had to laugh at him slating Gretna as a sugar daddy's castle built on straw and then a few paragraphs later, citing East Kilbride and Darvel as great clubs who deserve a shot at getting promoted to the Premiership. It is Leckie and the Sun, so click at your own risk. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/10742343/english-football-fairytale-luton-scottish-play-off-bill-leckie/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he's still trying his man of the people, sticking up for the wee guy act, but hasn't quite got it right yet.

Assumed he'd been shunted off to a retirement home years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Taken at 15:40) — Motherwell - Dundee United is 1-1 — Saints - Livingston is 1-0, they’ve obviously chucked the bit for United’s game in there — And that isn’t how you spell “facing.” Any more? Maybe meant "United: f*** you, relegation"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he disappeared into obscurity after the failed experiment Sportsound had with making him effectively their main SFL (as-was) commentator in the late 2000s. Whenever he “commentated” on a game, your knowledge of what was happening was no different to if you’d shut yourself in a darkened room surrounded by a Faraday cage. Kind of like Open All Mics, but worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose when they pulled Andy Walker from whichever 'Jeff Goldblum in the Fly' transformation chamber he fell out of, there was no need for another clueless arsehole who literally can't describe the things which are happening in front of his face and doesn't even know the basic rules of the sport he's watching? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
