There's a time and place for that chat but I wouldn't say it's for a match pundit? I see alot of this in my workplace these days. Folk going out of their way to be seen to be saying the right things rather than being sensible about it. I think Ellidh has really pissed him off over the stooshie at that Football Writers Dinner though! Was Barbour not introducing a segment presented by Alex Scott about grass roots football not being as inclusive as it could be? It wasn’t match analysis and it was setting the scene for the segment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The other Cowan annoyance was his recent claim that Chicory Tip’s Son of my Father had nonsense lyrics. It’s a song about a boy who was being moulded to be like his father but broke free to live an independent life of his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claim was the lyrics were indecipherable ie you don't know what is being sung. Cowan is right in this case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were taking about Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Tam mentioned the indecipherable lyric round they used to have. Tam said that song was the best as you can't make out anything. They then played the song 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I've been doing a run through of all the number one singles in the UK since the charts started, from al Martino onwards. Just reached Procul Harum "Whiter Shade of Pale" and by jiminy what a pile of shite that is. Musically dull and nonsense lyrics to boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, many people who did live through it think it's overrated as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
