That's why he's on the radio....someone can slip him a wee list of paper entitled "other teams that play football that might be relevant". To be fair he's not a total disaster when talking tactics but the insight is downgraded quite a bit when talking about "the lad up front".

BB: "We need tae be more optimistic" Can we qualify for the the world cup? BB: "[LONG PAUSE]...ach I don't know."

Keith Jackson can try and tell me, as a Saints fan, that the last 4 years have been terrible but he won't be able to convince me. Yeah maybe the chairman has had to work a bit harder on the financial side but can anyone honestly say their club has suffered as much as this rocket was trying to make out earlier on? With the exception of perhaps Hibs, Utd and Killie (could even include Hamilton I guess) I'd say the last few years have been pretty good for most fans Aberdeen have stopped being embarrassed by themselves, the highland teams have been pretty consistent and have won trophies, Hearts had a blip but seemed happier and better for it, Thistle and Dundee have improved each year and can't really complain, Motherwell have had some highs and some lows (that eventually turned into highs) but hardly been a disaster and Saints have had a fantastic time. I may be paraphrasing but I'm sure I heard him utter something like "with Rangers being back in the top league along with Hibs and Utd the Scottish Premiership will be a proper league again". It's been a proper league all along Keith with the 12 best teams (in terms of merit) playing each other over a season trying to get as high up the table as possible. If the current bottom 2 go down it's because they are gash and which i hate to admit it the Ibrox outfit have won the league in what appears to be a fair and square manner (until we find out King has some involvement in this Panama mess) so they deserve their chance at the top table. But it shouldn't be painted as a heroic return of the knight in shining blue armour who will rescue the stranded maiden that is the Scottish game. Football really does get a bad deal in terms of who is given airtime to talk about the sport. Golf, Rugby, Snooker, Tennis, Swimming, Bowls, Darts etc... all have much better commentary and punditry that add to the event being watched. But what do we get on a Wednesday afternoon, Keith bloody Jackson emptying his load all over radio without any opposition. And don't get me started on that spluttering mess Billy Brown, get him right tae f**k. He's no business being anywhere near a microphone.
