accies1874 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Richard Gordon needs to realise he's commentating on radio channel. He just stops talking for a couple seconds after saying something like "flashed across goal" and expects the listener to guess what's happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was close to preforming an audio version of Homer's reversal into the hedge. Insisting McIntyre let him finish only to talk all over his next question. Demanding to be treated with more respect while treating McIntyre with very little. Not a moment he'll look back on with pride I hope. Was it a sacking offence ? ( Did McIntyre not ask Ross if he was worried about his job ? Was it worse than the Lennon interview ? ) Edited January 24, 2021 by ewan14 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such an easy question to bat away if he wanted to, something along the lines of what could you have done better with the team. This is what fans want, or at least what I want, interviewers asking questions of managers that are out of the standard “how do think the match went today?”. But Jack Ross showed the problem with doing that, in that the manager gets all stroppy and it could end with the interviewer being banned by the manager/club. Not a great fan of Kenny McIntyre but Jack Ross was an absolute arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his desire for more respect is even sillier when you consider that he really only gets the respect as a head coach that he has because he's relatively articulate, sometimes wears a suit, and is better looking than John McGlynn. He's a made-for-media coach who has increasingly little to back up his self-regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great fan of Kenny McIntyre but Jack Ross was an absolute arse. I hear you re the standard questions etc, but I actually don't give a toss what the manager says after a game. It will either be anodyne rubbish which has been repeated dozens of times before, or a rant in the heat of the moment. None of which really matter. Anyone who's seen my posts on McIntyre in this thread already, will see an echo here - he's not my cup of tea at all. He's almost single handedly reduced Sportsound to nothing better than the advert ridden drivel that you can listen to anytime on Talksport or Clyde. Any presenter who covets Twitter as the court of popular opinion as much as him, can get in the sea. I get that the BBC isn't above derision, but it used to have standards. Not when he's about it doesn't. Edited January 25, 2021 by mozam76 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ask this the manager 1 ) cannot answer yes or not , 2 ) might be asked to explain why the match went the way he thought it did If the manager does not want to give the answer required he will not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will either be anodyne rubbish which has been repeated dozens of times before, or a rant in the heat of the moment. None of which really matter. Interviews immediately pre and post-match are a complete waste of time. Pre-match it's always something like 'Four changes today, tell us about that', which leads to a few seconds of time-filling pish from a manager who isn't going to tell us anything and who has already done a pre-match press conference. Occasionally they try and shoe-horn in some other question that no sane coach is going to answer standing in a tunnel pre-match. 'Is this a must-win game for you?' What's the point in shite like that? Post-match is heat of the moment pish with a coach who has had no time to digest what he's seen and almost always goes along the lines of 'I'm happy we won/I'm annoyed we lost'. They only exist to generate headlines and should be widely ignored. Agree with you that Kenny McIntyre has led Sportsound into the toilet. It's now basically on a par with Super Scoreboard, which is a tragedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
