You never know though, maybe there was a member of Real Madrid's 1960 team who grew up in a scheme in Letham and knew Cosgrove's dad and he was supporting Real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I've got little interest in English football or UEFA competitions once the groups start, but I'd take a freebie to Man U v Real Madrid. Who wouldn't? I bet not many here keenly follow Argentinian apertura/clausura goings on, but would bite your hand off for a free trip to La Bombonera for the Buenos Aires derby. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often does this buggedness manifest itself? Hourly, daily, weekly, occasionally or only when you listen? Is a champions League quarter final "English football"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this kind of "hatred" towards the show/hosts quite weird. It is very simple to avoid the show - just don't listen to that particular radio show or unsubscribe from the podcast. But the fact that they've both spent 27 years presenting the show suggests they care a great deal. On 06/11/2021 at 17:54, Highland Capital said: Punt Cosgrove and especially Cowan and replace them with Craig Telfer and the hullo Raith guy and it'd be a much better show. I enjoyed Ray Bradshaw being on the show recently, but there's no way that either Cosgrove or Cowan can be replaced - once they've gone, you'll just have another mediocre Scottish football radio show trying desperately to be new and funny. Craig Telfer is, I believe, one of the presenters of the quirky hipster Terrace podcast, which was fun for about two months... On 06/11/2021 at 17:58, Patrick Bateman said: Do they usually interrupt each other so much? They do. And it is incredibly annoying. Cowan, especially, seems incapable of letting Cosgrove finish one of his (quite often dull) stories. 17 hours ago, Meldrew said: a question that's bugged me for the whole time i've listened to the show. that question would've been.... no interested in English football {ever other week he say something alone those lines, that its actually becoming an ''off the ball trope''} yet he stood no more that 20ft away from me on platform 14 of Manchester Piccadilly with Johnathon Watson and i think it was Phil Differ, the morning after United won 4-3 against Real Madrid in 2003 in the CL Quarter final 2nd leg You've let that bother you for 18 years - that Tam Cowan was at a train station near to which a European game took place the night before?! I'm not the first to point this out - but that's very odd. Let it go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Nithsdale Wanderers were playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sweet naive child, it's almost as if you don't listen to the actual shite they talk, this thread is absolutely chocka full of people pointing out the constant errors they make. Which was the point I am making, that's evidentiality. It's fact. Their own spin claims them to be ignorant and capricious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 4 hours ago, lubo_blaha said: If only they’d given you some kind of warning that the show would be ill-informed. In the late 90s, the comedic irreverence relating to a "post-fact" reality was quite zeitgeist. Sadly, the modern ill-informed, or ignorant, are the types that sit in Facebook echo chambers reposting anti-vaxx/5G conspiracy or promoting right wing, dog whistle, nonsense. The less charitable may suggest hitching a show to an immutable tenet, which itself has shifted drastically in context to now represent the most repellent in our society, might have been a bad idea. Continuing to do so, suggests worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't happen to get an autograph did you? If you did, maybe you could consider gifting it to someone who has something unrequited about them. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time Div was on I posted tongue in cheek "who's this boring b*****d they've got on". Tam read it and went off on one about "you don't have to listen to the show" etc. Anyway I'm off to sneak up to Tam's house tonight and shout through the window "Alexa, play Norwegian death metal..." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 He’s honestly stuck in a bit of a time loop with his taste in music and TV I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever heard him reference anything post turn of the century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
