craigkillie Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I like a lot of Simon Ferry's interviews. He gets a lot out of the folk he has on, even if he misses the chances to dig deeper sometimes (eg Garry O'Connor admitting to blood doping). I don't listen to the other ones because I know they won't be for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had potential to be decent, but Paul Slaine is an utter fanny who ruins it and makes unlistenable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewh Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 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. They’re all poor. Just seemed like a bunch of lads talking uninteresting stuff, much like every other Scottish show. They do cover more, I concede. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was recently highlighted by Sportsound during the last international break when there were plenty of lower SPFL games going on at the usual Saturday afternoon time and they clearly didn't have a scooby how to deal with such an occassion where they couldn't fall back on Celtic, Sevco, Aberdeen or Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 That was a really good episode. The Cove Rangers part did last a bit long, as others have said. The rest of it worked well though. I like when they do that devil's advocate thing of arguing daft cases. They're pretty good at it, and they're quite an endearing bunch. Up to now, I've never really got the enthusiasm for the Two Duncans. This one was funny though. The sheer small time awkwardness of it all was a delight. The musical number at the end of the programme was also terrific. All things considered, not bad at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Open Goal is 90% LadBible esque shite. The stuff involving Paul Slane is brutal and it astounds me the amount of folk who lap it up. Some of the one on one interviews can be ok but it generally just descends into the usual night out chat. No one gives a f**k what pubs 80 year old Craig Brown used to frequent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 McGuigan playing to form again this week: Banker: "Airdrie don't give a lot away... I expect Airdrie to sneak this one". Result: Airdrie sneak a last minute equaliser (2-2) Bust: "Montrose just don't score goals... Whatever happens in this game, I don't think there'll be a lot of goals involved". Result: Montrose 4-3 Peterhead (highest scoring game in the land) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzel Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Enjoyed that episode, and will probably get to enjoy a few others until they cotton on to the free VPN that can set it to UK. I enjoy the stuff they do in general, particularly the podcasts as I don't get too much Scottish football chat here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of attitude is annoying Stuff involving Slane clearly isn't brutal it's just not to your taste, people aren't lapping it up they're just enjoying it There'll be plenty of people who enjoy both so there's no point in AVFTT having a dig at Open Goal or vice versa ETA: open goal couldn't be any further away from lad bible either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by "that kind of attitude" tbh. The Slaney stuff is absolutely brutal, no doubt about it. He's a fucking naebdy into the bargain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadroj Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I like both. I've listened to the Terrace podcast for years and love AVFTT. Tell him he's pele is fantastic as well. But, Open Goal is easy listening imo. It's not going to ever go in depth about football in Scotland the way the Terrace does but they play to an audience and there's nothing wrong with that. Si Ferry's interviews are actually pretty decent to be fair and sometimes I think folk have a go at him before ever actually taking the time to really watch many of them. Paul Slane is daft but again, he is just a guy having a bit of fun. He never claims to be some clued up guy with a wealth of knowledge on Scottish football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Recently a *** in work was telling me about some hysterical thing he heard on Opengoal/Si&Slaney/Ball on the ground about Jonathan Sutherland getting called Johnny Sunderland. He was gutting himself laughing telling me it and I just didn’t get it. But if I was to tell him something I thought was funny from AVFTT he probably wouldn’t get it and tell me he tried to watch it once and turned it off cause of they students/hipsters. So each can cater to their own audience. I much prefer all things Terrace but Opengoal or whatever it is definitely has an audience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
