Gave up on that as it was 50% blue bigot rubbish, 40% green, 5% Neil lennon and 5% the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 It’s not just our old firm loving halfwits. I watched the playoff match won by Exeter on Sky the other night and the commentator roared “Exeter have reached the final and will play at the greatest football stadium on the planet” ffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Motson recently claimed that his "the crazy gang have beaten the culture club" in the 1988 FA Cup final wasn't premeditated.......aye right then John! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember which one but there was a programme on recently where someone was bemoaning commentators having built their part up and giving their opinion on everything. As was said, I don't want to know what some journo or broadcaster thinks. I can see what happened so I'll make my own mind up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Best of the old school commentators imo was Hugh Johns. His 1970 World Cup Final work was just fabulous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it doesn’t always work that way and good management of smaller clubs has them punching above their weight and bad management of bigger clubs has them way below where they should be. Arbroath for a part time team with average crowds of 750-800 should be around about where we are now. I said that when we were in League 2 aswell, we should have been in League 1 in and around the play offs like we are now. It’s not a given but it can be used as a measure So the individual fans who attach themselves to something, are more deserving of success than those who attach themselves otherwise? The Celtic fan who lives across the road from me is entitled to success that I'm not? Really? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 15 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Thats a completely different thing to saying "fans of bigger clubs deserve more success" though, I think/hope you've just put it across wrong in your earlier post. my understanding is that fans of bigger clubs might well expect that their club should outperform its smaller competitors, all else being equal. The word "deserve" imports a moral dimension that has no place here. To my mind, the average montrose or brechin season ticket holder "deserves" to see their team win the league way more than i do. On the other hand, i have a much greater right to expect my team to win the league. We don't deserve f**k all though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
