I was coming in to edit as I just remembered that the tape was from the show 'Naked Radio'. I think Tony Roper did some of the voices. It must have been 1986 as it was looking forward to the World Cup, and asking what changes Souness would make to the game. I seem to remember something about whether it would be a wind of change, or a stale belch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what OAE grew from. It was a spoof of a 3-part tv series called “Only a Game” which featured the voice of Hugh McIlvanney. The tv series was serious nostalgic stuff which I may just have somewhere. OAE ripped the pish out of it and eventually grew into Johnny Watson’s tv version. You can get the whole series on YouTube, although it's very grainy, and a pain in the arse to navigate as each episode ('The Club', 'The Manager', 'The Team' etc) is further subdivided into five parts or so and they appear in all sorts of random sequences. It is pretty self-important in tone but still well worth a watch - really interesting interviews with the likes of Alex Ferguson and Jim McLean at the height of their Scottish success, and archive interviews with Shankly, Busby and a range of great players.

Monkey Tennis Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Only a Game was brilliant, and Only an Excuse in its early radio incarnations was an even better piss-take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Sandeson, the first of the phone in panelists when Radio Clyde first started doing it in the early 1980's.. His favourite retort/put down was, to an argumentative caller was..

The Only an Excuse version had some bloke apologising for missing the game because he was at his wife's funeral. Sandeson wasn't interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 23 hours ago, oldbitterandgrumpy said: Ok, just indulge me here. According to Wikipedia, Off The Ball started in 1995. I'm pretty sure it was on the go before that. Was it? I distinctly remember making the tea while listening to it in the early years of my first marriage, which would place it mid to late eighties. It certainly wasn't around in the 80s, but I remember something like it from slightly earlier than that Wiki date. I'm sure I first heard Cowan making jokes in the aftermath of Rangers being eliminated from Europe by AEK Athens in, I think, 1994. I'd thought that was OTB, but Cowan might have been a guest on something else. It seems unlikely now, but OTB really was great for its first decade or so. It was irreverent and its sketches were topical and sharp. The avowedly anti-OF stance was sort of revolutionary, back when no other outlets for such feeling existed. I loved it then, but now find it infuriating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
