And describing every opposition player as yer man there or thingmy These four guys have completely shown up the ineptitude of the majority of Scottish pundits. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got you. Aye. Laughing at you getting worked up about someone getting Falkirk's away attendances wrong is actually me trying to shut down any criticism of a TV programme I quite like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Good news that it will continue as it's an enjoyable watch but it's flabby. You're stretching 30 minutes of good material over an hour's programme and it has me scrolling through some of the more tedious/predictable parts. I doubt I'm alone. Were I the collective 'you' I'd be pitching for 2 programmes a week of 30 minutes rather than one hour long programme. That would keep you fresh and current and avoid some of the awkward fillers that I've seen. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you obviously think pointing out the error wasn't valid. Of course it's no big deal, but it's not really one either, when lots of people point to similar inaccuracies on the Journalism, Sportsound, Sportscene or OTB threads. Because you like this programme - as do I - you object to anybody highlighting any weakness. It's rather juvenile. It's more of that 'all or nothing' thing that we get a lot of on here. Things can apparently only be absolutely wonderful or dreadful. As I said, juvenile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgrace that they're being allowed to propagate lies for another season. FTFY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've very very slightly had a go at you for getting overly worked up over a relatively unimportant detail, and you've invented a totally different scenario where I run about shutting down any criticism of a TV programme I have literally zero investment in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 In fairness to [mention=21987]Monkey Tennis[/mention] (which I never am,) it is poor getting something like that wrong, and if it was a traditional BBC show it would be commented on. Apart from that, the show is a breath of fresh air. Must admit to even liking the Qatar segment when I watched it this morning. Great stuff. The story was basically about the fact that a big travelling support had gone to Dumfries midweek. That the number was wrong (not by a significant margin) really doesnt affect what the entire point being made was. I believe BBC reported it as over 1000, which Telfer then mentioned on the show. An utterly bizarre thing for MT to twist his knickers about. But then, since MT cant be trusted to speak in a balanced manner where Falkirk are concerned it should come as no surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just weird. I made one post on it a while ago. What I said was accurate. Since then, a few posters have had a go at me for it, variously suggesting I've got worked up, or twisted my knickers. Seriously, get a grip of yourselves. This is a good programme that marks a welcome departure. The idea that it's therefore above reproach however, is faintly ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
