Cowan is clearly a bit of an idiot but he’s entertaining enough with his “yer da’ style humour. Cosgrove is a pompous ignorant goon. Half right. Cowan is not entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also says they are winning regulalry. They currently ait bottom of the Highland League P10 L9. As someone said before he obviously likes the idea and romance of the game and the details arent important. He is a f^ckwit and an intellectual snob.

invergowrie arab Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The financial doping stuff is rank hypocrisy from Cosgrove too. St Johnstone would be at the level of Raith Rovers if they had to rely on revenue generated only from football activities. Good for them that the company has other revenue streams but its the equivalent of these newspaper articles telling you how to own your own home in London by 25 and it turns out the wee posh twats were living rent free in a family owned home and had a stipend from mum and dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone would be at the level of Raith Rovers if they had to rely on revenue generated only from football activities. Saints have been luckier than most – but that luck was 30 years ago and people can't keep bringing it up as if it's the only reason for our success. It's far more down to good decision-making and managing available finances; the club's revenue from non-football activity is not big. So don't conflate that with financial doping – which is entirely different. Saints' owners haven't put any money into the club for 25 years – and even then it was a short-term loan. And historically, our income across all revenue streams – and it will be the same this season – is far less than Dundee United's. We can't – or won't – afford the sort of money United have paid players this year. Since 1994 the club has lived within its means. Its lack of debt might be considered a lucky starting point, but weren't Dundee United in a similar position five years ago? We've never relied on a chairman's money to change things, even when relegated, and this despite being relegated in 2002 thanks to the financial doping in rival clubs, and failing to gain promotion in 2007 thanks to Gretna's unsustainable bankrolling. We've never been part of that. Edited November 4, 2019 by Mr Heliums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is his continual, why are all clubs not like St Johnstone, gets a bit tiresome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rank hypocrisy when he asked Tam something along the lines of 'Why don't you get rid of your car as it's harmful to the environment.' From a man who flies over to the States on a regular basis to research his books and who visits Sri Lanka several times a year. Think he was a wee bit pissed off when Tam joked that he was a sexist dinosaur when Tam pointed out that Austin McPhee wasn't the manager with the longest hair as Shelley Long's hair was longer, Stuart assuming automatically that all managers were male. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Slurp slurp. Their tongues must be exhausted after that demolition of Celtic and Sevco's arses. They opened the show saying it was a great week for Scottish football. This was because Celtic and Sevco had great results in Europe on Thursday. Great for them but not for Scottish football. Cowan and Cosgrove then fawned over said results and the two teams. Sad to see what they've become. This was followed up by the bizarre comment that Dundee United 'suddenly' look like 'running away with the league' 'from out of nowhere'. First, United have been top for most of the season. Second Ayr could be only 3 points behind at 17.00 today. Thirs it's not even the middle of November. A lot of games to play. Just fucking trash to come out with. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spam_Valley Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Two of the worst guests in the history of Off The Ball on this afternoon.

Chic Murray’s daughter has been mostly spoken over but when given the chance hasn’t offered much but continually refers to her dad as Chic which is infuriating this listener at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Listen to it on demand driving to work through the week, don't mind Cowan has his funny moments but Stuart Cosgrove is insufferable talks as if he's an intellect then is found out atleast 4 times a show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
