He’s busy getting himself into a lather about the Glasgow Derby EFIT - St Mirren fan my hairy hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Glorious Boxing Day lounging around in the hoose today, and doing something I seldom do. Listening to the English fitba on Five Live. Amazing to me that they seem capable of discussing all the teams in the division (even those in the bottom half!!) at reasonable length and in good detail. Furthermore, they've found time to discuss some lower league games and interview a newly-hired lower league manager. They're not doing anything mad or complicated. They're just talking about all the teams. It'll never catch on up here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they knew what they were doing they’d have previewed Brentford v spurs with an in depth discussion on how Man City will have been affected by 5 weeks off. Amateurs. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 f**k me, they've just dropped as far as LEAGUE ONE and have a reporter at the matches, have summed up the league table and general form of the teams they're covering, and mentioned important players. LEAGUE ONE! Wait, wait! LEAGUE TWO! They've just summed up the table and have gone to a reporter they have at a game who's giving us more detail of the fourth tier. Sportsound would never fucking dream of this kind of actual football coverage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsound would never fucking dream of this kind of actual football coverage. They have the marketing of their leagues at the perfect level. Wee teams "overachieving" is talked up properly and rarely with any condescension and they embrace it as meritocracy. If a "big team" is relegated? Tough. It's their fault. When Leicester won the league it was a fairytale but also used to highlight that anything could happen. If similar happened up here there would be a police investigation into why the OF didn't win. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then of course immediately balanced that by devoting almost exactly the same amount of time to explaining why an absolutely routine 2-0 Liverpool win over a relegation candidate with a fraction of their budget for which the bookies would scarcely have given you odds demonstrates how incredible their manager and players are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu92 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Shouldn’t be surprised nor should I let it annoy me any more, but they give team news for Livi v Well and Killie v St Mirren at 14:59, having just spent the previous 10-15 mins discussing the old firm. Which seems pointless given it will be the only game that they discuss after the 3pm kickoffs anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Might have been mishearing things but it sounded like they spoke to Willie Miller in Aberdeen, then someone in Perth (Craig Easton maybe) for a few minutes then Kenny McIntyre said that Derek Fergsuson would be reporting from Rugby Park for Kilmarnock v St Mirren then rather than speaking to him he asked Neil McCann if 2-2 was a fair result in the early kick off. Was a weird segue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a weird segue. OAM is utter mayhem today. Counter-intuitively, Leanne Crichton is the sanest voice among the lot of them and seems to be the only one with a bit of a grasp on the VAR situations. Edit: Santa must have sent the wee lassie at Queens Park The Big Dictionary of Football Cliches. She is dreadful.

Stylish Kid Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Crichton is one of the few I'd keep. I know I get annoyed at "Bisquits", but I think maybe BBC need to drop this "one of each" approach. Pretty sure it was his big cheer when Hearts scored. Conversely, Collins could be a good pundit, but not when Hibs are involved. His myopia when it comes to fouls is staggering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
