accies1874 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Is there some sort of "beef" between the OpenGoal intelligentsia and The Terrace? The former seem to have a real chip on their shoulder.Think it was said on here that BBC Scotland apparently had a choice between Open Goal and The Terrace to commission for a TV show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thank f**k they didn’t choose that OF sycophantic pish open goal. And I’ve never even watched a view from the terrace. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said OpenGoal and The Terrace had both approached the BBC around the same time and BBC opted for The Terrace boys, but he was pretty much ‘fair play’ and seemed fairly amiable about it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 On the podcast they mentioned videos Paul “Slaney” Slane fizzing beers in to his own face and it getting ten thousand likes or something. I’ve time for both, albeit very different, enjoyable for different reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The Si Ferry stuff is awful. It started well and fizzled fast, they then got Paul Slane involved and he's a tit. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few of the one on one interviews are a decent listen but the Other shows with Kyle, Slane, Macavennie are brutal. Old Firm mutants on twitter seem to take it personally that Open Goal got passed over. Edited September 28, 2019 by Skerla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I’m only basing this on the terrace podcast but the chemistry is much better. They sound genuinely like a group of mates speaking about football. Open goal is si ferry trying really hard to make it light hearted and ‘banter’ but it’s so obviously put on. Plus it’s so OF focused it’s just boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Gid to see our da’ alive and well, cheers for that there. Anyway, enjoyed the first episode back. Cove bit went on a wee bit long, no sure about the truth or lie bit either. Teller v Fowler and the social media bit decent, banker or bust good, two Duncan’s good and Johnny Flair WOOHI also enjoyed it but in the opposite way - I quite liked the "panel show" style bit with the truth v lies (I do like trivia, facts and stats mind you) while I thought that was the weakest social media segment they've had; maybe there hasn't been enough funny stuff but talking about the fickle nature of online fans isn't exactly that interesting, original or, well, funny. The Two Duncans was still good though. A decent start to the new season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed them pulling up the boy wanting Levein out then quoting Levein, but could understand the argument it alone really wasn’t worthy of a segment either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoy the one on one stuff as he often gets some fairly decent guests with some interesting stories. However the keeping the ball on the ground ones seem to consist of the first 10 minutes being inane "banter" and in jokes between them which would be annoying enough in itself but that combined with them incessantly laughing directly into the microphone at about 5 times the volume of anything else on the recording usually results in it getting switched off before they actually get to any football related chat. The terrace stuff I quite enjoy as they manage to cover most of Scottish football fairly equally without too much bias. I find myself skipping over a lot of the lower league stuff as it doesn't involve my own club but still think it's good for it to get a decent amount of coverage. The telly stuff I've not seen too much of living down south but watched last night's on iplayer this morning and it seemed alright so I'll try and stick with it.

IrishBhoy Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Si Ferry is a simpleton. He has about 3 questions that he uses on every person he interviews. ‘What was the banter like in the dressing room?’ ’Did the older boys take you under their wing?’ ‘Did yous go out to the dancing?’ I stopped entertaining it when Derek Ferguson and Frank McAvennie became regular guests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I don’t get it. Is this inane drivel and banter representative of what young men today have become? What will they be like when they’re my age? At least I won’t be here to hear it. I know that many of my age aren’t great either but I also know that no one will reply because they’ll all be playing the new FIFA. What football show do you prefer? Are you a sportsound man?Or football focus?I'm 38 and for me this programme is miles better than anything that exists. It's funny and it's genuine. They know their stuff and they cover all the leagues - something other BBC shows often fall down on. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
