I have absolutely no evidence for this that I am willing to share, but I am 100% convinced that he is a member of an organisation that a few other completely obvious members of the Sportsound gang belong to. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Excuse me , I present to you John thick as shit Hughes, Allan Preston and Gary LockeUp until recently I would have agreed with you but I think the introduction of Peter Grant has brought us a new winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This astonishes me, as she havers complete shite on pretty much every topic she ever talks about. But she speaks in a measured tone of voice and sounds earnest, so some people think she's clever. She's as bad as anyone else on Sportsound/Sportscene. Her contribution yesterday was appallingly stupid. I don't mind her really, just find her bland, but she utterly enrages my wife: whenever LC comes on screen my mrs will have to leave the room, putting on an exaggerated Glaswegian accent saying "Leannnnnne... pure adenoid city". It's hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that when I listened to the podcast yesterday It was a fucking atrocious decision that merited discussion but not 45 minutes worth ffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I have a suspicion that they’ve had so many technical issues with live interviews that they pre record manager reactions and fill time while it’s being done. They are just extremely bad at filling time. Goodwins interview on Saturday was definitely pre recorded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure about the new signings. Don't think he represents Considine, Murphy or Carey though. Drey Wright, David Wotherspoon & the Manager are three he definitely represents from memory, I'm sure there's a couple more. It's not a criticism of Preston either. It's just from the outside looking in seems like the club don't have the ability to identify their own players so they'll see who big Al can recommend. The other recruitment methods Saints have are "who is available at Millwall" & signing the well known names like Considine etc. Preston was also paid a fee as part of the deal to sign Wallace Duffy a few years ago awful.

RawB93 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I know it's nothing new but BBC doing live radio coverage of the only fixture already on TV is so annoying. Completely dominates the updates feed (of all fixtures) too. Of the 9 updates posted so far, 8 are about the *** game. So, so sad and embarrassing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a purely selfish point of view when I’m listening/ watching Scottish football and have no dog in the fight I like watching whatever Scottish game is on tv and having open all mics in the background. During the week though they seem to never really cover any of the other games I’m assuming it’s a budget thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Sanchez Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There's been a worrying trend in just about all the BBC Scotland football content, that's been moving towards an even more OF based content recently. Most notably from AVftT and OtB, programing that was self evidently about the 'diddies' in Scottish Football. Sportsound on a Saturday has gotten almost unlistenable now, for all the reasons listed over the last 10 pages. Richard Gordon is sounding even more calm, measured and knowledgeable on the Sunday shows. Sportscene has always been fucking rubbish, giving scant attention to anything that doesn't fit their OF biased narrative. I think it's attributable to: both cheeks in the CL group stages, the fallout of the lickspittle apologies from the BBC to get them back into Ibrox, Kenny MacIntyre spouting his pish unfettered or constrained by now being the lead anchor on the show, a ridiculous amount of mostly ex SEVCO players as pundits, Miller and Bonnar both suffering from early/advanced onset of 'Yer Da' and their obvious distain for anything thats not pertinent to their own clubs. It's a crying shame, for a supposedly national broadcaster to be pumping out the incessant pro OF guff. Saturday's show was unlistenable. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenorthernlight Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Sportsound. Virtually unlistenable now that we are subjected to that h*n b*****d McIntyre hosting, who clearly diverts the chat towards all things “Rangers” at any given opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've added more WSPFL stuff which is to be applauded but whereas in the past it was almost like they'd deliberately not pick a great goal/bit of skill/player to focus on in their chats there seems to be more clips of OF* goals, chats about their players etc, at least looking from outside. Still a hell of a lot more about the other 10 Premiership clubs and an incalculable amount more on everyone else buy I think it's fair to say there has been more OF* content in the last few runs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
