It doesn't matter to him it it's Rangers, Celtic or Elgin he's covering - he'll still be as happy as a pig in shit. Which is more than can be said for the likes of Willie Miller and Packie Bonner. He's an easy target because he isn't the most articulate and he happens to be the brother of Barry Ferguson. It's more for his club association opening doors than his brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Why don't they have open all mics on instead of a foregone conclusion? c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Aye, very poor that it wasn't Open All Mics. Thought Rodgers was going to miss kick-off tonight. Kenny Crawford asked him a hundred questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Spot on. It's actually disgraceful how much guys like Chick Young, Preston etc moan about having to cover the smaller sides. The sarcasm and bitterness just oozes out of them. Not always true. Chick absolutely loves coming to Somerset. And I'm sure I've heard him wax lyrical about a few other 'proper' grounds too. I'd hate having to go to places like Hamilton, Inverness, and dingwall every now and then (covers head and awaits incoming). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't exactly mean it that way. It was more that they shouldn't be saying "apparently" when describing everything that happens just because they're watching it on a stream. Just describe what's happening. You don't have to pretend that because you're not physically at Ibrox that you're not watching the game when you clearly are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enthusiasm for Scottish football and the ability to speak English properly should be the two basic requirements of the job. I don't mind Derek Ferguson but someone give him some pointers, FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Don't care about someone speaking English properly, that's boring. Much more entertaining hearing the accents and more colourful use of language guys like Ferguson provide imo. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'd prefer to simply hear much more about the other 40 clubs in Scotland, rather than pish like the Mols interview. Whenever Brendan takes a dump, they'll analyze it tae f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even feel lucky when they speak about Hearts/Hibs or Aberdeen nowadays. Speaking with an accent/using colourful language and speaking English properly are not mutually exclusive. I know but If they don't use English properly couldn't care less everyone understands what they're saying. Graham Spiers actually annoys me a bit by using it too well at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to pretend that because you're not physically at Ibrox that you're not watching the game when you clearly are. The only way they could watch last night's game was via "Rangers" TV or a supposedly illegal stream - the BBC don't have any League Cup rights so no feed would be coming into the studio. So they would want to avoid explicitly saying they can see it since neither option is particularly good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
