D'Jaffo Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 As an Ayr fan I especially enjoyed the Window segment last night. Kerr and McArdle both came across well and with what will be another rebuilding job in the summer I’m more confident they can replace the likes of Forrest, Kelly and Doohan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 12 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: That was pretty good. The bit at the start when they reflected on events since they were last on, was strong. Obviously a lot of the programme is based on the mildly amusing exchanges between the guys on it. However, I'd actually like to see them genuinely discuss issues at times, giving their own opinions. Instead, the games devised always require them to adopt given stances, rather than promote real ones that reflect outlooks. While I understand the need for format, I think the blokes are all informed, smart and articulate enough to have actual arguments. I get the fun of the rhetorical exercise bit, but it's usually set up to go in one direction, by the way one side is crudely characterised. For example, a legitimate view about capping numbers of foreign players, was deliberately harnessed to Brexit and portrayed as wildly xenophobic. Similarly, a case about how the disparity of resources is exacerbated by allowing bigger benches and the fielding of more subs, was undermined by making it a call for no subs. Genuine debate is therefore extinguished before it starts. The best of the fanzines combined serious articles alongside irreverent piss taking. This programme could do both too, but obviously saying so will invite the dear old 'boring' charge. I often think that some of the resident bullies are exceptionally harsh in their dealings with you MT. But I'd almost nodded off by the end of paragraph 2 there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The best part of the shows are the segments away from the studio, the window bit was fantastic, really good insight. With them only having a limited run time the bits in the studio tend to feel rushed, obviously 4 tiers of Scottish football is a pretty wide scope, as such it feels sometimes like they touch on allot of subjects, without actually saying much of note about them. I noticed when they were doing the segment on the frankenstein footballer that the Raith Rovers fan went to say something with regards to Nisbet but it seemed to be cut out, happened a couple of times. It's a shame it hasn't got a longer run time like a Scottish Soccer Am, feel that'd allow them to talk better and rush it less. It is good, noticed it does seem to get a bit of stick on twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boozyBJ Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Really like the show, but they need to dump the music section at the end, never heard a decent song on it yet. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I knew exactly what that spoiler would be but still clicked into every single window. I can't even watch the video just now. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the in-studio stuff (agree that The Window was great though) but thought the news segment was really rushed - almost like that was the point but it was frustrating having good taking points constantly cut off with a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Noticed there was a lot more swearing on it than possibly before, I think this is a good thing as it's probably more reflective of how people actually talk about football amongst friends. The music is definitely more miss than hit but I'm sure there will be a couple of bangers in between now and the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Its good to hear the opening theme being the podcast song rather than a random 90s lad culture choon.Really did like the song on the first season though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Only thing I'm not overly keen on is the songs at the end, part of the turn off of Soccer AM is it's, at times obsession with naff, skinny jeans wearing indie band wanks. And that's coming from someone who is actually a big music fan and has been in bands myself but, the over the hill SKY Saturday morning programme at times tries to be cool by featuring these bands and giving them airtime just for the sake of being seen to be cool, just a personal opinion, probably fuelled by the fact many of the artists featured have been pretty fucking gant, that morose version of 'Dignity' last week was brutal. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I think the Last Minute Winners are good when it's something a bit quirky or inkeeping with the theme of the show- HYTTS, Heartbreak At Mount Florida, St Mirren themed death metal, Chris McQueer, COME ON LIVVVVVVVINGSTOOONNN etc. When it's just some c**t with an acoustic guitar mewling about hands across the divide and ending bigotry or a vaguely competent cover of Dignity it is a bit Soccer AM aye. Hopefully they've got Graeme Spiers and his piano lined up anyway. Edited February 18, 2020 by YassinMoutaouakil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Fair comments if the music is in the middle of the show, but it is the last thing on, if you don’t like it you know it’s finished so go and do something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
