Open the show with a brief couple of sentences on the situation on each division, mentioning that Kilmarnock v Ross County is the biggest game of the day. Then, as you say, start with "let's go to Celtic Park" where the very first thing they say is that this is a dead rubber for Celtic. 25 minutes later and they're still talking about Celtic, with the only mentions of Livingston in that time being Pat Bonner saying a token couple of cliché ridden sentences about their record since Martindale took over and quickly reading out their team. What the f**k is this? Yeah, just had a 25 minute drive into town and only heard 1 team mentioned in that time. Bonner adamant that the Celtic fans “deserve” an update on the managerial search for some reason, despite the fact that anything they could be told would be so vague to the point of being utterly meaningless.

meanmistermustard Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 What is the justification for Celtic v Livingston being the commentary match when the relegation battle is the bigger story of the day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I enjoyed Richard Gordon's Dr Evil style slip of the tongue (which he hastily corrected) where he described McBurnie as having a ten figure transfer fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 It's great to have Tom English back to reprise one of his classic rants about sporting integrity. I could have done without the two hours of his constant heavy breathing into the microphone though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I hope I'm not shown to be wrong but the SPFL statement seems to be clumsy rather than an indication there will be no playoffs. Worth journalists commenting on but Tom English particularly needs to leave himself somewhere to go if it is a story instead of exploding right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Enjoyed the minute’s silence from Celtic Park. No idea what was going on but it sounded like WW3 had broken out. Eventually it cut back to a flustered Richard, who passed no comment on whatever was happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually it cut back to a flustered Richard, who passed no comment on whatever was happening. It was presumably Celtic fans showing their anger at the fact that a dead man didn't persuade his wife to quit her job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was simply a case of following the usual flow chart when picking a Saturday 3pm game: Are Celtic playing? - yes -> Are "Rangers" playing an away game - yes -> One live on 810MW, the other on nan Gaidheal. | No V Celtic game only 4 hours ago, Abby Normal said: Enjoyed the minute’s silence from Celtic Park.

I did think it was odd that Richard Gordon handed over to Liam McLeod to commentate on a minute's silence, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Alan Preston almost losing it yet again when discussing Hearts Championship win, and going back in time to rant yet again about Hearts "demotion" at the end of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Gordon was magnificent. These buffoons are championing teams who have played <checks notes> Three (3) matches and been declared champions of their respective leagues. And the only reason they are championing them I can think of is to ram it up the board of the giants that are Brechin City. Its quite bizarre behaviour - and if anyone thinks we have heard the end of the "Ann, just how upset were you to be demoted wrongly last season" puff pieces, then they are sadly mistaken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
