SlipperyP Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Thought the Soutar boy was good on Saturday. Tam telling the story about playing Hearts after O'Donnells death, 2 weeks in a row...ffs Tam. I'm thinking they will both bow out after 30 years. We will then be left with Jane Lewis and than Partick Thistle guy (can't remember his name). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do Facebook or Instagram and wattsaap is a necessary evil at the minute. Just recently he posted a Twitter relating to the Nigerian football team where he tried to make a link between them and the old "Nigerian Prince" scams, which would be fine for "yer da" types because they just assume all black men must be the same and all of them are untrustworthy. It's just plain and simple casual racism, and sadly something that many (especially online) do not recognise as such, but I am sure Cowan will defend it as "ye cannae say nuttin' anymore, it's pc gone mad!" and "it's all just a joke, man, liven up". I am on an embargo here, because if I write what I want to write, and I am able to back up my claims using their own content that was broadcast nationally, the mods will remove the post. Why? You'll have to ask them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't mind the Tommy Ring stuff because his obscurity is kind of part of the joke (I think). A little ongoing inside joke in a long-running show is okay by me. Maybe I'm an Off the Ball da though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? You'll have to ask them. Reading between the lines I'm assuming that you think that he/they is/are/were racist in some way. I'm not sure that's the case, and Cosgrove is more often than not painfully right-on. I assume that the alligation would enrage them, SC especially. I must enjoy the pair of them as i very rarely miss any of their Saturday shows, and if I do I listen on the iplayer. Yes, they annoy me sometimes but they are firmly inside my ooda-loop and have been for decades. Ultimately if I don't like a guest of either of them says anything that grips me, I'll turn it off. Same as any media I elect to consume. In fact, due to some of the music and features on their Sunday show i usually don't listen to it live so I can use the skip forward 20 seconds function on the iplayer. The point is I *still* listen to their show. The instant-replay jingle is pure Alan Partridge so I skip that feature. But I listen to most of the rest of the show, mostly with the exception of the music as it's usually not to my taste. The guest presenters are fine for a week or two, Ray Bradshaw seems to be flavour of the week recently. He's often quite funny but is like a pupy jumping from one thing to another, if he calmed down a bit he would probably be a better fit for the format. But he's fine for a bit, as are most of the other guest presenters. There must be some form of succession planning going on. I don't know what the next thing will be but they won't go on forever and they will be incredibly difficult to replace for the BBC. Times they are a-changing with Richard Gordon taking a lstep back from Sportsound on a Saturday. Time will tell if we'll be fondly reminiscing about tales about mobility scooters in Las Vegas and Northern Soul clubs or whatever. Yes they are pale, stale and male but they accurately represent the audience and in my house that's me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to ask them. Remember when he was suspended for his misogynistic article about women’s football in the paper a few years back? So yeah it doesn’t surprise me a guy who still lives in the 1970’s has sort of attitude towards black people Edit: Here is the article THE Daily Record's own Gene Hunt, Mr TAM COWAN, gives his take from the dark ages - or the 1970s at least - on the Scotland women's match at Fir Park this week. Admittedly, I’ve not seen a lot of women’s football - just a few little snatches - and I’m not having a pop at the people taking part. Just the other week, I bumped into a couple of women footballers (I’ve still got the bruises to prove it) and they were honestly two of the nicest blokes I’ve ever met. But no amount of politically correct claptrap could force me to say I enjoyed a single second of that guff at Fir Park on Thursday night. Face it, folks, nobody cares about women’s football. There was barely a thousand inside the ground, shocking for an international in ANY sport, and I guess putting the girlies head-to-head with Emmerdale and Eastenders was a bit daft.

DA Baracus Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 That article is horrible, sneering, sexist shite. A disgusting attitude right out of the 1970s, complete with reference to 'political correctness'. There's nothing wrong with not liking women's football (I don't care for it and never watch it), but the belittling of it and, worse, women, is just nasty, bitter nonsense that isn't needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no information on Cowan's personal relations, and I have no intention of discovering if he has been "cucked". That is at odds to Cowan himself, mind, who is not shy at casting aspersions using his nationally broadcast weekly radio show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
