Kyle Reese Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Derek Ferguson was a really good player for Hearts. Mind boggling that anyone would find him easy listening on the radio however. Seems a nice guy too, just totally unsuited to talking for a living. Takes all sorts, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston, as it happens, grew up in Leith as a Rangers fan - part of me, perhaps cynically, suspects that it helps his business to be "a hearts fan" (although I dont know how many hearts players are on his books). Didnt know that about Preston. Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Can I just shock you? I don't actually mind Derek Ferguson. Yes he comes across a bit dim, but at least he actually has a fairly decent idea what he's talking about and has a decent knowledge of the teams and the players he's paid to talk about, especially in the Championship. I concur with previous posts. Alan Preston is an absolute p***k and I really don't know what he brings to the show. Also, I enjoy Michael Stewart. I don't always agree with him, but he's a good listen. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I find Ferguson ok too. He's very enthusiastic. Give me that with his stumbling over words and "layman" speak any day over the likes of Willie Miller who sounds like he's being forced to watch games at gunpoint and would rather be sticking pins in his eyes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 This comes up fairly regularly on here and I'm also in the pro-Derek Ferguson camp just down to his enthusiasm. His coverage of the Motherwell v Hibs 6-6 game a while ago was tremendous and brightened up my dad's stay in hospital at the time. He's also acknowledged he didn't stick in at school and isn't the most eloquent but he's still very good at describing the action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 On Open all mics, Miller has a habit of screaming "Goooooooal". Then talking for 2 full minutes without offering any detail as to who has actually scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't mind most of them apart from Bonner, he's genuinely terrible but the rest all bring something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I've a real problem with people just shouting 'GOAL'. I don't usually tune in from 2pm and it feels like if you don't do that, then you've not got a chance to get an idea of who is covering what game. I'd much prefer if they could include the team name instead of waiting ages. Sometimes they don't even name the team and just name the player which is extra frustrating if the name is something like 'Smith' and could be a player from about 12 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a good shout, reduces the the guesswork by 50%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so given the attitude at the weekend and the Goldson statement thereafter. (Most of well read The Rangers support probably think Ethos was one of the Three Musketeers) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
