Leith Green Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 5 hours ago, VictorOnopko said: You literally couldn't be more wrong. I disagree. Gordon is one of the biggest problems with the programme and he has been at the helm of - what is now considered - a very poor sports show for too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing these guys never consider is they are paid to more or less be fans, yet they'll slaughter money paying fans for having tooy high expectations or whatever. Canna stand that old pals network on sportsound, some of them as you say, struggle to speak coherently at the best of times. They had the articulate ones on this evening !!! I.e.

Wish BBC Scotland would use this opportunity to permanently clear out their sad array of semi-literate ex pros and replace them proper coherent sports j journalists.

I'm sure he is but unfortunately like almost all ex-professional footballers employed by Radio Scotland as 'pundits' , he lacks the qualities of insight, erudition, marshalling of basic facts (and indeed basic grammar) required to perform what is essentially a journalistic role. To paraphrase, just because someone used to drive a Taxi doesn't make them an expert on the workings of the internal combustion engine..(or whatever it is you call it). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare him to Geoff Stelling who manages to keep his show on track. It all starts with the host/editor. Geoff Stelling is working with half-decent pundits who know how to describe a game, rather than raging simpletons like "Biscuits" and Chick who are completely unable (or unwilling) to do basic things on OOM. I think Richard Gordon does well to try to keep them in line, e.g., asking them for the millionth time to say which team/player has actually scored - and cutting off some of their interruptions and drivel when he knows something more important is happening elsewhere. RG is also informative and professional throughout, unlike the rabble around him. It's a tough gig and he only occasionally sounds exasperated. He also gets bonus points for me for having a thinly-veiled contempt for Chick and being happy to mock him on air. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to work with the 'quality' of Merson and Hendrie at the moment, not to mention Thompson and Nicholas in the past. Don't be fooled into thinking they are any better than our mob.

Oh, I agree that Stelling is a smoother pro than our own Richard Gordon (Stelling is probably the best in the business) - but I also totally disagree that Gordon should be sacked, as a couple of folk on here were suggesting. RG is not the problem on Sportsound - he's perfectly competent, a good broadcaster, and he does his best to carve out a decent programme every week from the shambles most of the pundits and reporters are serving up. With all due respect to their relative shiteness, with the possible exception of Nicholas (now gone), none of the pundits you mention are anywhere near as biased, ignorant or downright infuriating as Bonner, "Biscuits", or the bold Chick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
