Popular Post mozam76 Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 Whilst on the subject of commentary, have a listen to the wonderful Ian Dennis on Radio 5 Live from the other night. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00128vw 42.30 onwards. The roar in the background is spinetingling. I haven't commented on the game, because I can't frankly. It's the best performance I've ever seen from Scotland to a man and, after a tough couple of weeks personally, I'll admit to having a wee blub when Che scored the second. Total fucking euphoria. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) 17 minutes ago, TheScarf said: Aye, McCoist celebrated like a fan at the goal, but he remains neutral when describing the action. During the Euros, Lee Dixon, Jermaine Jenas etc were clearly showing biased towards England. For example every foul on an England player was a booking, and whenever an England player would foul someone it 'wasn't even a foul'. There's a clear difference. Sky bringing McCoist in as co-commentator has been an outstanding move. He's passionate, and loses it like a fan ("just look at what it means to McTominay, I don't even know who scored it, Was it McTominay? It is McTominay" ), but he's also informative and rational between times. I don't mind Davie Provan actually but McCoist is far, far better. I also don't particularly get the hate Scots fans have for Ian Crocker to be honest. I quite like him. He's certainly better than McLean or McLeod for me. By miles.

19QOS19 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I really enjoy McCoist's commentary as well. He's always fair with his analysis and is quite light-hearted. Night and day from his time managing Rangers where his face was tripping him constantly and he always had excuses any time they lost. Good to have him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 People don't like Crocker because he's a phoney b*****d who sounds like he's reading off a script. And you can tell when the script reads "Ohhhh no Scotland! ". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Spinetingling a perfect description. Brilliant stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I hate, HATE Ian Crocker. He's a shite commentator and for me has taken a modicum of the shine off the wonderous moments we've witnessed recently. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an OF boaby-sucking gimp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedingums Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Favourite McCoist quote from the other night was: “there’s freekicks and there’s freekicks and in my book, that was a freekick” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 People don't like Crocker because he's a phoney b*****d who sounds like he's reading off a script. And you can tell when the script reads "Ohhhh no Scotland! [emoji24]". He uses "that will do (nicely) for starters" whenever there's an early goal. I can remember getting annoyed at a bunch of his other standard phrases but can't remember what they actually are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses “it wouldn’t be Scotland if it wasn’t done the hard way” in almost every game, or at least he certainly used to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like Ian Crocker and the transformation of McCoist from extremely dislikeable Rangers manager to loveable co-commentator has been brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I watched the Israel game in a rammed pub so I didn't need to listen to too much of his shite but when I listened to Crocker on the highlights his monologue after McGinn's goal had me near cringing up my own hoop. Took about 30 seconds to chant out one stupid birthday caird pish line that sounded like it was read off an Autocue with buffering issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 His pathetic Adams "Aguerro" shite the other night was a load of pish as well. WWMD? Spoiler What Would Montford Do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 don't know if this has been posted, what a bell end I've yet to see the guy talk sense on any subject he's ever involved in on The Jeremy Vine show. He tends to speak loudly and very quickly and thinks that means he's talking sense. He's a complete balloon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
