Empty It Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Would have a lot more respect for the show if they just completely and childishly ignored the existence of the bigot twins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not sure what the reasons are for the podcast which seems to have more OF focus at times too. (maybe I am wrong) It has certainly felt that way since they added the two east coast OF fans to the panel. I don't think the number of OF-centered podcasts has increased, but when you've got Euan Taylor desperately trying to shoehorn Rangers into every discussion he has then it definitely does feel like the show is trying to pander to the bigots, which is disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gannonball Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Do people realise they are moaning about a Scottish football TV show, on a main stream national TV channel giving a bit of air time about the two most well known clubs in the country. I like the show because it delves in to all sorts but moaning about the odd section being about Rangers or Celtic is just daft, the show isn't tailored to your individual preferences ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a fan of one the two most well known clubs in the country. I love the show, and would be more than happy if neither of the two most well known clubs in the country were mentioned on the show ever again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be understandable if literally every other Scottish football show didn't spend the vast majority of their time discussing those two teams. AVFTT is a nice break from that from that in general. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just aimed at your viewership, nor exclusively to a certain level of diddies, it's a general Scottish football program from amateur to women's to the top mens level amongst other things like social aspects. It's aimed at all sorts not just for you. 18 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: That would be understandable if literally every other Scottish football show didn't spend the vast majority of their time discussing those two teams.

Having said all that it would be weird to just pretend we didn't exist on the show at the same time and perhaps would alienate a large potential viewing group to make it viable.

boozyBJ Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I’m an avid watcher of AVFFT because they champion all of Scottish football, not just the top league. I suppose they have to include some Old Firm contents or the bureaucrats at the BBC would have them taken off the air. A few less Hearts fans would help though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other thing about Scottish football, radio, TV, newspapers, general media is all about the two most well known clubs in the country and they pretend that every other club doesn't exist. We, the diddy clubs, want our own back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I think because the BBC Scotland in general is absolutely dripping with cringing OF stuff that it's easy to overreact when AVFTT mentions them - but last night's show (which was really good BTW) spent a pretty small amount of time on Tavernier and Papac all things considered. I didn't find it a big deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what other clubs are mentioned every week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Rangers fans nobody cares or thinks about him. Cult players should have something about them that makes opposition fans either love them or hate them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I love the show, but have to agree that I’ve noticed an increase in OF centric pieces & chat. It’s an attractive proposal that the guys should completely ignore the sisters & talk about the battle between Aberdeen & Hearts to win the league. However, Im sensible enough to know that’s not realistic, and it’s the only football show that features the lower leagues in Scotland, so hats off. I’ll continue watching until Telfer cuts his hair, then I’m done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
