Double Jack D Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Just wanted to add my support to the Super Ally bandwagon, I think he's terrific. I love the passion he brings especially when you can hear him going nuts off the mike after each goal. I find myself actually talking to him during games like he's sat on my couch 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Dalglish's belter was v Spain surely. Mo Johnston got both goals in the France game IIRC.I was replying to the post directly above mine which referred to the France 2-0 and Spain 3-1 games but I should have said it was the Spain game I was in the enclosure for. I was behind the goals at the France game. Yes, Johnston scored both goals- think he was playing for Nantes at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a challenge on one of our players that wasn't given as a FK and he said "I think he went down easily and the ref has got that right". I said something like "Aye, I'd agree with you there". Makes a nice change from me telling English co-commentators to STFU right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a nice change from me telling English co-commentators to STFU right enough. the old Scotch and Wry sketch with the presenter telling viewers to settle down and enjoy uninterrupted coverage of the upcoming live game. Cuts to a guy sat at home in front of telly, with his missus to the side tied to a chair and gagged, and him saying "aye, don't you worry Dougie". A number of gender and patriarchal stereotypes enforced there which am sure they considered at the time : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Watching that video and I am absolutely gutted that Ally McCoist wasn't doing the commentary for McGinn's overhead kick. Why did we put up with that dour faced fud Provan for so long? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Mike Parry is a gormless idiot. On numerous occasions on radio, and now on TV he has made outlandishly false statements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 26 minutes ago, TheScarf said: Thanks for this, I was looking for exactly this earlier. It really underlines how poor a commentator Crocker is, the very epitome of "sound and fury signifying nothing" as he does that "SHOUTING....RHYTHMICALLY....LIKE...THIS" but the words are just banal and cliched. McCoist's "aw come on!" at McTominay's goal is one of the sweetest sounds you'll hear. Incidentally my earlier query about co-comms becoming more like fans was after hearing McCann on BBC sounding like he was co-commentating on club TV. I was wondering if this is something producers have actively been encouraging rather than just something organic that McCoist came up with. That overhead kick against Austria was much better than I remember. What a wonderful player he is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 “Isn’t this just typical Scotland, giving us hope again!” is another one I’ve heard Crocker come out with about a dozen times. Liam McLeod is an awful shout though. No one with a voice as high pitched as his should be a commentator. Whenever something vaguely exciting happens he’s unbearable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Anyway, delighted to have the analysis of that game and a chance to see the performance again. I had no idea that the Danes were without 9 players though. 4 through suspension and 5 through injury. That does check my euphoria a wee bit.McTominay, Hendry, Hanley, Dykes, Patterson, Jack all missing for us as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Aye fair enough (aside from Jack, who hasn't been in the team since before the Euros, but I put that down to your particular bias ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. There's little doubt Jack would have been playing at least some part if fit. Probably we'd not have seen Billy Gilmour introduced so early. At the very least, he'd be the guy coming on when Gilmour gets his obligatory cramp from about the 75th minute! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will only care about catering for the English audience, who make up the vast majority of the audience to be fair, but that's not the point. But is that really catering for the English audience ? Are they so different from us that they wouldn't appreciate an Ally style 'fan yet fair & balanced ' co -commentator ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan8472 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I am still trying to understand how we were so disappointing against the Faroe Islands and two games later we are , justifiably , " classy " apart from the islanders tendancy to park the bus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
