sergie's no1 fan Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I enjoy listening to Tam McManus the most. Straight down the middle, says how he sees it and has decent bantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't actually think I've knowingly heard Tam McManus speak, but don't really disagree with the others in terms of who's included. I'd probably shift the placings, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Not sure if I've heard him either but discovered his blog recently and it's excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Steven Thompson, Tam McManus and Michael Stewart would be my top 3 in no particular order tbh. They give decent insights and they're all pretty fair in doing so. Good shout re Thompson's dress sense, big fan of his jumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Malcolm Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Nah, it's a mess. McCann is a pretentious wee fanny, McDonald would be pissing me off if I was a Well fan, Thompson is smug and nasally, Craigan lost the head on Friday.

ShugtheBuddie Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Been championing Tam Mcmanus for a while think he is really good as said above straight talking knows his stuff no agendas or pandering to the Glasgow 2 and is pretty funny with it. Needs to be on a lot more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadBoaby Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Stewart rightfully 1 on that list. Like the above I think McManus should be higher up that. He would be a clear 2 for me. McCann plays up to Rangers by slagging Celtic and Sutton the opposite. Stewart and McManus don't do that they don't wear the green and blue blinkers.

cmontheloknow Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Have no time for Neil McCann, but do like Alan Preston and Willie Miller. Ok he's Aberdeen biased but he's never one to dress a game up when it's a turd. McManus, Stewart and Sutton all very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 From what I've read of McManus, he's pretty much Davie Farrell mk2, opinions and anecdotes of a journeyman until someone plonks a book deal in front of him and then it'll go quiet. Still, on the back of this I've decided to follow him on Twitter so I'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think Stewart is pretty poor, his understanding of the game appears pretty limited and offers very little insight. The way he speaks sounds quite assured though so he kind of convinces you that he is saying something of worth. He isn't afraid to criticise either which works in his favour. The opposite of Craigan and McCann, who have that overly deliberate, serious tone to their voice to try and sound authoritative, but instead they just sound a bit slow. McManus sounds good in the limited bits you hear of him, difficult to tell what he's be like as a TV pundit though. Thompson is a bit better now he isn't playing, he was uttely pointless when he was still playing as he was never going to even think about being critical of anyone or anything. There aren't any good ones really in terms of ex players. The best pundits I feel tend to be journalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye when Thommo first started Jim Goodwin kept getting into bother for elbowing folk and Thommo just sat there like eh I can't say anything he's my team mate .

Bishop Briggs Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Craigan is the best but that only demonstrates the lack of quality on offer. No one who has played for the bigot brothers should be taken seriously. They are just whores for their former clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sutton is quite funny when he winds up the **** but when he's rambling on about Celtic he is very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
