I think they are for fat and / or lazy Americans tbh. Bit weird hiring one I thought of you are Scottish and able bodied? Did he not get really sunburnt feet? I'm sure that was related in a tale. Being peely wally I've done the same thing myself. It ain't fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are Perry Como, Engelbert Humperdinck etc and Tam laps that shite up so it’s fairly “on brand” behaviour tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Another Cowanism - going on about how a lot of the Scotland fans in Paris missed the James McFadden goal as they were busy taking photos at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 There is far too much talk about Sevco and Celtic on the show. They discuss them every week, almost as if it's a standing feature, and so many other features are linked back to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see an Off the Ball live show in about 1999 or 2000 at Heriot-Watt's Student Union. Many in the crowd had replica tops on - Dunfermline, Cowdenbeath, Dundee Utd, Partick Thistle, Aberdeen; there wad a wide range of clubs represented. Anyone who wore a Celtic or Rangers top was rightly ridiculed and a lot of the jokes that night were at their expense. Most of the stories were about St Johnstone and Motherwell, the National Team and non-OF stuff. At the time that was a decent interpretation of their radio show. Sadly, over the past several years it's become just an extension of Sportsound and Clyde "Super" Scoreboard in that most of the chat and by far the majority of the guests have a connection to one or the other of the two cheeks. A shame, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind Scotland had a goal kick and I went ‘Ach I’ll nip for a pish now’ 20 seconds later I can hear the pub erupting and I don’t think I’ve ever nipped it so quickly in my life. Ran back through to see utter carnage. Folk on top of the pool tables and one bloke, not in our group, was trying to get his cock out.

Salvo Montalbano Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 To be fair, it's about the only time other than playing or watching football it would be acceptable IMO (and I think it was encouraged in the bumf when you bought your ticket). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Cowan's been to see Mama Mia the musical 5 times. That tells you all you need to know about him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Tam banging on about Engelbert Humperdinck, and threatening to actually play his song on the show. Ooft. He seemed quite restrained when the news of the Rangers red card and the Motherwell equaliser came through too... Alan Soutar seems like a good lad though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up Boom Radio. Must be grim listening- in between classic Beatles and Stones come the funeral plan qnd incontinence pad ads. Mind you, in 50 years' time you'll get Stormzy and Kanye West next to ads for Saga Holidays and Stairlifts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt believe my ears when he was slavering on about EB - and then said he was actually about to go and see him at a gig ! Tam was as bad as I remembered. Constant interruptions, same old tropes. Its dreadful radio - mind you, it just sets you up for the shitshow that is Sportsound itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
