Jarballs Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I used to be an avid listener for years, could hear the slow decline for a while though. Got into the Terrace and Soccer FM instead, big fan of both, they're having a well-deserved break over the new year so went back to Off The Ball and ooft... Really wanted to find something positive to say but it is proper 'yer da', outdated, old pals' act stodge. Sad but true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Past it’s sell by date. Tam has become boring and it seems he’s on some bet as to how many times he can put Motherwell into the conversation. Needs young blood if it’s to survive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Sanchez Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Genuine bit of forced banter after TC has a go at Cosgrove not blowing his nose. Added a bit of something lacking. Cowan sounded proper angry. Lovers tiff before the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 In a new low, TC eulogising The Loving Cup ceremony. Not quite in keeping with the original remit for OTB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sanchez Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Surprisingly poor taste there from Cosgrove intimating a contributor had pumped a guests wife in the past. I'd suggest that could've ended with a toe to the hee haws. Would he have done the same if it was a well kent face in footballing circles? I can imagine the high horsery if someone did the same about Mrs Cosgrove on the programme. Poor show, from a usually right on presenter IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Van Tee Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Looking forward to hearing Cat Harvey and Alan Preston later on. Yeah right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Cat Harvey and Can Cowan doing puns and end of the pier jokes all show. The national broadcaster and it's like two volunteers have been brought in to provide entertainment at a day care centre. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Why does that senile old git Cosgrove continually give his ‘team of the week’ to fucking Falkirk for a run of the mill league win? He then bangs on about how they have turned their season around and after a terrible start. Pretentious weirdo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewan14 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 When OTB had their anniversary celebration etc programme did they acknowledge their debt to the football fanzines ? For example '' The Absolute Game '' with Graeme Souness' 10 worst tackles ( everyone will know the top 3 ) Only Michael Stewart has it these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Van Tee Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 They did although I forget which ones as I was on the ale while watching it. Think I might still have a few Absolute Games lying around, must have a look for them. Sadly my brother told me a while back that he had given away his copies of AWOL, which was many people's favourite Scottish fanzine even non Meadowbank fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been able to see both sides of this question; but here's the verdict from the man who is said to have owned both the before and the after entity. Seem that he completely agrees with Jim Traynor's and Walter Smith's mid-2012 views on this. I'm almost finding myself persuaded by such unanimity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
