Flybhoy Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Well that's half an hour or so of my life i'll never get back. Aside from the line in the Brendan Rodgers sketch....'This album isnt available in any shops, bar the dodgy Celtic ones down the Barras' which raised a slight grin it was utterly migraine inducing. If it was a horse it'd have been shot years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 BBC propaganda. Watson is the modern day equivalent of Kenneth McKellar. Keep the Jocks believing they are useless and an embarrassment. So bad you feel warm to Jackie Bird for the relief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still at least Jane Lewis liked it, apparently. Not all Johnny Watson's fault, and there may be reasons why certain stuff is sanitised, but there comes a time to say enough is enough and blow the final whistle The programme is made for a general audience not folk here on P&B . Most of that general audience would not have a scoobie about Ray McKinnon, the Albion Rovers saga etc. Come to think of it I don't have a scoobie about the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nold Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The Sportscene bits were quite funny time then less so each time they repeated the single joke multiple times. The rest was fucking woeful. Worst telly since tank commander, shown just before it.If anyone knows how to get on the BBC gravy train, let me know as it seems you can produce pish year after year without retribution. A great gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to submit sketches, ideas for shows etc etc direct to the Comedy Unit or send an enquiry to the BBC Scotland site. Don't expect much payment though if your ideas are used, it is a million miles away from a gravy train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the BBC is renowned for rewarding well known, safe faces, far past their sell by date. That's what I meant to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVanTeeth Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 A hermetically sealed boy's club? Only 5 out of 7 of the Comedy Unit personnel are female. What chance does an even incredibly talented female comedy have? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more thinking of it from the bring in a load of juniors, not even top class ones, hire a manager completely out of the left field in John Brogan and watch as it all goes completely tits up. Probably not the best suggestion I grant you but a writer may have just had enough imagination to have made it better than Kim Jong In in fucking Millport 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the best suggestion I grant you but a writer may have just had enough imagination to have made it better than Kim Jong In in fucking MillportTo give further context Brogan's previous job was with Wishaw, a third tier team in the West junior setup. Noteably took them to the semis of the junior cup for first time since the 30s in his sole season in charge. Before that, Lanark United a team of a similar level. Did have a brief spell in charge of Lowland League club BSC Glasgow before that which is the closest hes been to league football since 1996 with Arbroath (everything else until BSC was junior and never a top tier iirc). As for the signings the majority iirc came from the third tier or there abouts with one or two from higher up including one from from Pollok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
