Have some faith in Magic Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Good to see the Sportsound thread maintaing a more civilized level of debate than the Superscoreboard one. Just as well there isn't a Talksport thread, who knows what that may descend into. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind Dunfermline fans had a chant similar for Lyle Taylor, only issue being is he doesn’t have a sister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Pat Bonner on form on last night’s Sportsound podcast. Before Richard Gordon put him right in informing Bonner that Qarabag have now qualified for the group stages of various European competitions for eight seasons in a row, he said “imagine losing to a team from Azerbaijan.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Disgraceful Sportsound last night. On a day when Hearts signed a player, Motherwell signed a player, Aberdeen signed one the night before and one on the day, absolutely no mention of them. However, they did have time to speak for three or four minutes on Leigh Griffiths potential move from Celtic and about 10 minutes on Ronaldo’s potential move to Manchester United and even had a phone interview with some Italian journalist about it. Even for Sportsound it was unbelievable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Why do you guys put yourself through it? It does not perform its main function; namely to inform/educate/entertain supporters from right across Scottish football. In fact it actually makes you unhappy. So turn it off, like you would do for Hollyoaks or Love Island or whatever. Or is this a case of... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's any Scottish match on the TV I'll watch it if I'm available. I've even been known to listen in to the Superscoreboard podcast if I'm at a loose end. Plus I like a good moan as I'm a grumpy old b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Yesterday: Gordon 'now over to Lianne Chrichton for a big game in the Champioship'.Chrichton rabbits on for minutes about the weather and that both teams will be up for it etc etc. Eventually she mentions Kilmarnock and as she hands back to Gordon he has to say she is at Rugby Park for Killie v ICT. Something she failed to mention throughout her preview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something she failed to mention throughout her preview. I heard that. I’d put more of the blame there on Richard Gordon because it’s up to the presenter to say something like “to Rugby Park now where Leanne Crichton will be watching Kilmarnock against Inverness Caley Thistle”. It’s just another consequence of “Open All Mics” being less of a scores and results service, and more of a chat amongst old pals that happens to be broadcast on the radio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Anyone catch Packie Bonner today justifying that Celtic's defeat was a 'good' one? Reason being that "Celtic now know which areas of their team isn't good enough". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Crichton genuinely spent that amount of time talking without the context pointing out where she was (eg discussion of players, results etc), then I'd say she deserves the blame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Was interesting to hear Willie Miller talking about Aberdeen’s new signings and commenting that ‘he had no idea of their style’, but that Longstaff ‘had scored a couple in the Premier League’. This was, apparently, a justification for why he was surprised they both started.I mean, the guy is literally only there to talk about Aberdeen - some minor research surely wouldn’t be beyond him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
