Sportsound Watch


Recommended Posts

The dawn of a very depressing new OAM era as we move from a wry, measured and calm professional in Richard Gordon who often sounded like the only adult in the room, to a tabloid rabble-rouser who spends a lot of airtime stirring up "debate".. MacIntyre wasn't even able to get to the right grounds at the right times, and instead allowed idiots like "Chick" and "Biscuits" to argue over each other and run (ruin) the show.   One thing RG was very good at was telling Chick to get to the point with match incidents - and swiftly cutting away from him when needed.

Yeah it's still early days for McIntyre in the job, but it's indicative about what most of the rest of them view as a priority with this gig. Arguing amongst themselves rather than focusing on what's going on in games.

And that was utterly ridiculous from Preston for the Hearts goal too. Screaming about Hearts going 1-0 up on the opening game of the season as if it's an Aguero-esque last gasp title decider. He needs punted alongside a few others.

Also, Leanne Crichton has just reacted to a United red card quicker than Chic Young even though she's watching on a delay.

Is it not because Forrest is a client of Preston

Macintyre said on OFTB today that he interviewed for his post. Fucking hell, what must the rest of the candidates  been like

I can only imagine the other candidates were Jane Lewis, David Currie, John Hughes, for him to be successful applicant

I don't know if he is or not. Even if he is Preston's client, it was still a preposterous reaction.

That Preston has had an opportunity from the BBC to talk up his clients on air for god knows how many years, getting paid for the privilege of doing so, puts me in a right bad mood.

Today's program was terrible. First day of a new season and the first subject to be discussed is the managers under pressure. After 0 games and incomplete squads???? How about starting with something positive like discussing each team's exciting new signings. Or how the League should be tight with teams improving. Maybe talk up the game? But no we have negativity, agression, shouting and being disrespectful to various managers (even if they haven't excelled in the LC at least give them a chance in the League before condemning them). McIntyre is the vocal equivalent of the Sun.

There are / were quite a few managers under pressure though

I tuned in during half time in the Livingston match, the chat was like Rangers TV discussing how the mighty blues could get back into the game and achieve their rightful position as winners.  Plucky Livingston got a patronising pat on the back for their efforts to that stage.

Alan Preston just before the end of Sportsound, “the woodwork saved Hearts twice in the first half”. I mean, in 2022 football “pundits” still think that the posts and the bar can move to block a shot.

Stop employing Chick Young.

He's absolutely chronic.

I've spent a too many posts fanboying Richard Gordon.  I'm sorry.

What he should have said - in his last time on OAM - is, "OK enough about football.  Let's hear from Chick Young"

There wasn't a score update from outside the Premier league for 40 minutes this afternoon because they were slavering on about VAR. Dreadful stuff
