They used to have a Sportsound program on every weeknight where they would just blather for 50 minutes about goings on, whatever happened to that?

They had a range of distinct programmes, alas, all fallen to BBC budget cuts

Petty Sportsound Things That Get On Your Nerves:

Myself and the other Edinburgh City fan, having enjoyed last night's win over Stirling, were driving back from a game today and heard someone on Sportsound say Stranraer were beating Edinburgh City

It should have been Elgin City.

These diddy teams that begin with E and have City in their names eh?

Jim Traynor and his fucking soul-draining programme with sports journalists. Had “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga as the theme tune. Just behind having barbed wire pulled through your ears by an overly-excited Joe Pasquale on the sensory torture chart.

I think it was called Media Talk.

Jim Traynor is a name I haven’t heard in a long time, pretty impressive how quickly he went off into the deep end. 

Could have had a cozy job for life at the BBC

That’s the one. A truly dire programme where we got to hear fuckwits from almost defunct newspapers constantly talking down the game in Scotland. Think the Rangers supporters dislike him even more than the rest of us nowadays. His PR job for the men who were suckling at the Sevco teat was fun. I have this image of him standing outside Ibrox in a black leather jacket aggressively talking down to the protesting Rangers fans. Was amusing. He looked like a retired doorman who’d let his health get away from him.

I mind it came on about 5 summers ago and I had to turn it off after 5 minutes. Absolutely fucking dire stuff.

Think it might have been actually. My god it was so chronic. Worst episode I can remember was when the subject matter was the OF leaving for another league. Almost to a hack they were all discussing how it would be great to only report on the 'big two', and how what was left behind wouldn't warrant any column inches. Yep... that's your friendly local broadcaster with a programme on your national sport, pundited by journalists from your national newspapers. :lol:
