Craigybroonhereforaparty Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) I still like it to be honest, and have bonded with it even more in the last couple of years. In the original lockdown back in March 2020, everyone was shitting themselves due to Covid and obsessing over the TV news. OTB brought a bit of normality back and kept the spirits up in pretty bleak times imo. I think part of its charm is that they are dinosaurs - petty and ill-informed, having the same conversations and jokes weekly. It's a kind of comfort, like going to the pub with your mates. Back in the day they used to have impressions/sketches interspersed throughout - I miss that aspect.

This 14:00 is a recent development, probably down to more cuts, same as we can't even have a daily podcast any longer. Radio Clyde has more interest now it seems than Sportsound. I'll take your word for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like most sports to be honest but watching my team Motherwell in the SPL can be much worse than even a bad rugby match tbh . And much less skill. I think my point is that he always goes out of his way to say he doesn't like it. I would bet he has never watched it in his puff or never even tried. He just likes saying he doesn't like it along with English football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I don't particularly like rugby because I was made to play it from the age of 10. Specs off in the pishing rain having no idea what I was doing and stuck in the front row of the scrum too. Tam may be the same - there was the odd mad Council school that played rugby (e.g. Boroughmuir) instead of football. Which reminds me: Add Tam's football cup final with the BBs at Fir Park to the list of tropes too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Substitute 'Sport' for 'Rugby Union' , 'isn't' for 'wasn't' and delete 'before 1995' and you have summed up Cowan perfectly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
