Afc69 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 The two of them bickering like f@ck already. Seems to be happening more regularly now; talking over each other etc Right, how long before Tam mentions scud books? Davie Cooper? Bobby Russell? 1991? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 These "off season" episodes are generally terrible. They will be raging that Compston and Co got the "late night euros" gig. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's called "Late night at the Euros with Martin Compston" most likely because he's a much larger draw than if they called the show anything to do with them .

Empty It Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Personally think they shouldn't have a guy who's filmed singing IRA songs presenting "late night at the Euros". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) I’ve been largely ambivalent to OTB for the last 20 years. Engaging enough for me to have it on as background while I’m doing whatever it is I’m doing on a Saturday lunchtime. And I keep going back - there’s enough nuggets for a giggle that I’ll tune in. I have however posted before about how it rips my knitting when they start talking over each other. Today though I think the camels back was broken. Get that c**t Cowan to f**k. The show would be so much better if the guests were given a chance to speak, not be driven by his self absorbed narrative. For Cosgrove to have to literally shout at him ‘SHUT. UP. !!!’ shows just how distanced he (Cowan) has gone from being a professional broadcaster. Best just pension him off to the after dinner circuit round Lanarkshire. GTF Tam. You won’t be missed.

DA Baracus Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) Cowan used to be great.. Unsure when and why he became so bitter. His stuff is increasingly unfunny and stuck in the past. His shtick seems to be that you can't say anything these days, when in reality the bigoted, sexist, homophobic and other unpleasant shite that his heroes spewed out is, rightly, not acceptable now. It never was but some scum gave it a free pass for too long. The odd thing is that his best stuff never was the garbage punching down scumbag cowardly bullshit of his pool and bingo hall and coal miner clubs heroes. He usually had a decent line in amusing enough jokes, yet he seems to have raged against a machine that was never real. For some reason he now always greets about how "you can't say that these days!", either making up imaginary nonsense that has never been censored or railing against the moronic scum shite his heroes spewed out, despite not peddling it himself on Off The Ball over the years. He seems to have somehow somewhat radicalised himself for no reason. Edited June 15 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to put it at another way , Cosgrove getting a taste of his own medicine. Cowan is far more patient with Cosgrove when he interrupts with some desperately unfunny , smartarse comment that even Cosgrove himself isn’t that bothered about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Guys: it's Funicular, not Finucular. As the intellectual of the two, Stuart speaks with authority even when he's wrong and it's never checked. Tam: there's a difference between 'implied' and 'inferred'. Still fills a handy slot in the day though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's always irritating when Tam will call on Stuart to verify something deemed as intellectual and he invariably won't have a clue and just waffle some pish.

Spring Onion Posted Saturday at 11:01 Share Posted Saturday at 11:01 (edited) Did the Tam Cowan Euro 24 song he was writing with a 'famous' Scottish person ever materialise?

Gibby82 Posted Saturday at 11:46 Share Posted Saturday at 11:46 (edited) Managed to get through a half hour of Ali DeFoy not understanding Tam's old jokes but Rory Loy is too much for me to take today.
