Iain Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 12 minutes ago, Nelson said: Your point about Sportsound struck a chord. Is it just me or are they largely ignoring the lower leagues on a Saturday afternoon these days? I got in the car about 5 after the game at the weekend and I don’t think I heard a single after match interview or even comment about any of the games. The replacement for Richard Gordon is dismal - all he seems to do is shout and bark like he’s hosting a midweek phone in on Radio Clyde. To be fair to the guy, he had a very disappointing Saturday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrmai Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Kenny Macintyre was a poor choice he's not a presenter he's a provocative journalist at best. They used to do a program on a Tuesday about the championship leagues 1 & 2 which at least showed some interest. Tried a few of the various football podcasts but most are about one club rather than the leagues below the SPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintyre's a worse host (and doesn't bother trying to do regular updates instead of keeping up some banal debate), but then Richard Gordon was superb. In terms of Championship coverage they're always limited by how many of the old boys can be persuaded to put the trip on expenses: Ayr are actually luckier than some in that regard as one or the other of Chick Young or Derek Ferguson usually raise their hands for games at Somerset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 They seem to salivate over Dundee for some reason - was the same IIRC last time they were down. Did they do the same with Killie last season? I can’t remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always cream themselves over the "big" team in the league, which is typically whoever came down the previous year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnyjag Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Last year when McInnes was appointed Killie manager, BBC went into brown nosing overdrive and the coverage they got was obscene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly would just be on podcasts the next days walking to work I would listen but we only seem to get them now on match days. Pre covid there was a Scottish football podcast everyday based on the sportsound show. Your right that Macintyre is quite provocative which worked ok on a non match day where they were having more in depth discussions but he just doesn't suit the Richard Gordon role someone like Jane Lewis would have been better for that. Think since BBC have grovelled to rangers so they can get access again they have become somewhat neutered in giving insightful coverage. The terrace podcast is very good on the lower leagues. Like the tv show they give fair coverage of the lower leagues. Thursdays they do an episode that focuses on the lower leagues. If you get Shaughan McGuigan and Craig Telfer on together its a great listen. They did a big season preview podcast covering championship to league 2 and it was 4 hours long. The SPFL themselves could be a lot more joined up especially the lower leagues get either at round up tv show or youtube show each week. The womens league do it so no reason its not achievable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually uploaded midweek. Agree on the Terrace, usually fairly good stuff on the lower league especially if it's Telfer, Shaughan or some of the other lower league voices that pop up occasionally.

Death in Vegas Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 As long as it’s not that Killie fan Craig Anderson. The most boring man in Scotland . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 An evening with Stevo at the hub in October. Seems to be much maligned by sections of our support but by God did I love him as a player (1st spell). Definitely in my top 5 Ayr players. Should be a decent night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod1967 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 One if the best Ayr players I've ever seen, played in some dire teams that he single handedly promoted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Categorically was not. The fapping about the new stand and backroom was readily balanced by Stevo repeatedly stating his desire for Kilmarnock to get relegated, which isn't something you hear otherwise on any TV coverage. Also the constant chanting from downstairs. Edit: also, it's a nice feeling for the praise for the club not to centre entirely around the notion that it isn't all plastic fucking seats, or that it gets the sun in the afternoon.

Thereisalight.. Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 They also featured us at HT in the Dundee game about our progress on/off the park. The presenter and Leanne continually mentioned Stevos fan club chanting to him. Definitely wasnt a Dundee love in, saying that though Fri game is the 3rd to feature Dundee and we're only in early Sept 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Dundee is also an actual city, as opposed to a Tory experiment in turning a town with multiple industries stretching back 500+ years into a Glasgow commuter hub with a nice wooded suburb to build million-quid houses on. Literally the only people who weren't born there who know Ayr now are the Norn Irish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple of seasons back the Sportsound podcast on a Tuesday had a portion of it dedicated to the lower leagues. I take it they’ve done away with that too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
