Biggest arsehole Hearts fan there is, and that takes some beating. Was that not just when Levein was there? They hate each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly calmed in his negativity since Levein left, but still doesn't particularly seem too happy to talk Hearts. I suppose it would be nice if more pundits were like that though and didn't just bum up their favourite team 24/7. Be nice for us to have 1 pundit who does mind you... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't like McCann, but I think he is really good as a pundit. Is knowledgeable without being really patronising. Agree with the Loy comments too. Sort of passed me by as a player and didn't know who it was when he was first on the radio, but he is someone who clearly does his research on the teams being covered. I think generally across the ex players in media in Scotland, there is a decent balance between the confrontational guys (Stewart, Levein) and the really technical knowledgeable guys like Loy. The less we hear from the 'jobs for the boys' guys like Dodds and Houston the better. I think Fleeting, Bartley, Crichton and even Foster are all really good. Although you half expect Foster to completely loose the plot at any second. As an aside, whatever happened to Craig Patterson? He was great to start with and then became a bit rambling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I think the issue with a lot of these guys is over-exposure. Stewart is probably the main person who suffers from it at the minute. In the past Andy Walker was seen as a decent pundit in the old Scotsport days, but since he's been on Setanta and Sky he's grown to be a bit of a hasbeen - and also lazy in punditry. Reason I quite like a number of the Sportscene pundits (Bartley and Fleeting especially) is that the BBC have chosen to move them about each week so it's not just the same three or four on the sofa - as was the case in previous seasons. The Sutherland-Thommo-Stewart trio was getting a bit stale, although I do actually think all three can be good at what they do. The downside of that is that you'll get a Shelly "29 year old Scott Allan is the best young player in Scotland" Kerr or Richard "I hope Benji Siegrist is injured" Foster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossd98 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I had Rory on my podcast this week if anyone fancies giving it a listen. Could tell his enthusiasm for football / punditry as soon as he started talking about it. Hope everyone enjoys, any feedback appreciated ️ Youtube: Spotify: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-chat-with-rory-loy/id1570371231?i=1000541115849 Cheers Ross 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
