craigkillie Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I've read this post several times, and as far as I can see the quote you're attributing to Cowan means the exact opposite of what your'e claiming it is. As well as that, I'd say it's pretty crass for you to compare the two things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I've read this post several times, and as far as I can see the quote you're attributing to Cowan means the exact opposite of what your'e claiming it is. As well as that, I'd say it's pretty crass for you to compare the two things.Tam Cowan was raging that a player should accuse someone of making a racist comment because, once the evidence was examined, it was shown that there was no case to answer.I get that the intervening period would be hellish for the accused, but should the player be vilified for bringing it?And you are correct. While the comparison I made is not invalid, I was wrong to make it.Will delete post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Playing catch up on Sunday's show, but 20 minutes in and the music choices are appalling. As a more general point, I note that a lot of BBC Scotland shows are padding with a Get it On style "here's a music topic".... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylish Kid Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) It was amusing, as a Hearts fan, listening to it back retrospectively knowing that Cowan had to go through the torture of hearing his team almost manage to scrape a draw against 10 men The plaintive plea hoping (in vain) that VAR would overturn Shankland's penalty made me feel a very smug Jambo indeed (no hard feelings - would've been the same if it had been Dicky Gordon or Chick Young in the seat) Edited November 7, 2022 by Stylish Kid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frigging hate that to a degree that is wildly disproportionate to the actual 'offence'. When that nonsense starts, I invariably lunge at the radio while seething audibly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I had the misfortune of flicking through a Daily Record today and Cowan has without a hint of irony, used his column to have a dig at Peter Kay and his entire routine being only remembering things from the past. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Anyone else occasionally find themselves doomscrolling Cowan's Instagram now? I don't know why I do it, but I can't help myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read the opening (ahem) paragraphs : Peter Kay tells lots of jokes about his childhood; Jamie Oliver goes on a bit; Gregg Wallace has a bit of a hit for himself.Such wit, insight and erudition! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the irony, but he's also not wrong. How Peter Kay is so popular and rated by people is one of life's mysteries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I like him but I suspect a lot of those going to his arena gigs just want a reprise of "garlic bread" and "chicken and fish" jokes. As a complete aside, comedy gigs belong in small, intimate venues like The Stand or Monkey Barrel, not fucking arenas.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
