Savage Henry Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Our choice appears to be between Tam Cowan and Tam Cowan. Off the Ball or PLZ soccer. Hobson’s choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Van Tee Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Actually really enjoyed Tam Cowan for the first part of the show there, made me laugh and spoke sense about Stevie Clarke. But Derek Ferguson and this Wet Wet Wet guy, man. Man it must be frustrating for him, man, what with his big team dying, man, and wee team dying too, man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marly Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Ferguson's still trying to defend his laddie's assault on Stevie Mallan. Seems to think Mallan was making the most of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy (with this 'man' pish) is an absolute goon. All their musical choices are honking too. A Sevco/Celtic supporting guest as well (which, as we've established, is now official policy). Also Cosgrove inexplicably thinks Andorra are playing World Cup qualifiers. Edited October 12, 2019 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Amy McDonald or some other Rangers fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn Hooch Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Was excited when I heard Keaghan Jacobs was a guest on OTB tonight. I haven't listened to the show in many years but gave it a go tonight. Don't think I'll be listening again TBH. They'd ask Keaghan a question and then just talk/shout over his answer with some unrelated pish....is that normal for this national radio show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 They need to drop the 5 tunes stuff for the evening guest, or at least stop letting Cowan pick the tunes. It's obvious he does as the vast majority of the time the guest, and usually Cosgrove, have no idea what the tunes are whilst Cowan is incredulous that they don't know the tune. Plus they're almost always absolute shite. I quite like the evening show, although it depends on the guest. If, like tonight, they have someone new on or someone who isn't a Celtic/Sevco fan then it can be interesting and insightful. If it is a Celtic/Sevco fan then we hear the same boring shit and sycophantic nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do shout over guests all the time (it was the same when John Rankin was on - Cowan asked him a question, which Cosgrove then spent a good minute answering) but Jacobs gave them almost nothing to work with. One word answers, didn't have a story to tell about anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left to my own devices, I think it isn't that long ago since Airdrie were a good cup team regularly reaching cup semis and finals. I think our footballing perceptions from our relative youth just stick with us forever. I still find it strange that Accies are a top flight team, for example. They just never were when I was a kid. I disagree. When I was a child, Clyde were a fairly big side and one of the more dangerous teams in the second tier. Certainly don't think of them like that anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've quite obviously had a very, very, very long time to adjust. Actually, just re-read. Second tier. The Paddy Keogh era, I suppose. You mugged a promotion off them. Fair point.

DA Baracus Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Tam Cowan with a triple 'yer da' on the same thing. He thinks that the White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army' is a modern pop song (it's 16 years old), that the band is called 'Seven Nation Army' and that it's the type of tune you'd hear in 'Manumission in Ibiza' Actually add another one on because he said he's never heard it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Cosgrove on his high horse again about financial doping and sustainability and in the same breath has Fort William ie ICT Colts as his team of the year. He also says they are winning regulalry. They currently ait bottom of the Highland League P10 L9. As someone said before he obviously likes the idea and romance of the game and the details arent important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually made me laugh joking about hearing it at Manumission. Come on, the idea of Tam clubbing it in Ibiza is funny, isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 For some time now Cosgrove has increasingly seemed to be wanting the show to be about his views and interests. For instance he’ll often interrupt Cowan when he’s trying to make some point and virtually tell him off for wasting time on some topic or exclaim “What’s that got tae dae wi’ Scottish fitbaw ?!” But he also often interrupts the others to raise some point of trivia relating to Motown or something like that. Apologies if I’m repeating myself but I’m convinced now that Cowan only tolerates Cosgrove as his friend and he’s treating him like an elderly relative who’s showing signs of senile dementia setting in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Agree with the above. Cowan is clearly a bit of an idiot but he’s entertaining enough with his “yer da’ style humour. Cosgrove is a pompous ignorant goon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
