glasgow jock Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Anyone else hear that numpty Brazil on talk shite this morning say he wanted Scotland to do Ireland a favour and beat Poland? The guy is an absolute clown Heard it driving to work, he obviously doesn't have a clue that we can still reach the play-off's, know's nothing about Scottish football & probably couldn't even name a single player from his beloved Celtic. Sounds half pissed most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 He must have some serious dirt on someone at Talksport, as he seems to get chance after chance with them over the years...... Its rather pathetic that he has to drop in a "hail, hail!" at the very mention of Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoofitharder Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I was listening once after an international break and he was talking about some EPL team and he said it was good to be back to proper football. What a Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossman4 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Totally scripted radio station, set up to make money of p*ssed off football fans. Stopped listening to it a while back. Brazil is clueless but the afternoon show is by far the worst. You can tell that Durham and Gough (if it's still him) are both given a script each day, here's what were talking about, here's your opinion and here's your's and it's all done to get a reaction from the listeners.

Nah, Durham is all about ratings and phoning in figures, and will argue the "Sky is Green and Grass is Blue" just to annoy folk (then contradict himself a few weeks later when a similar topic of the day rises) as all he cares about is his show being the most phoned in one on radio Though not as much these days, he would be trolling on twitter all day to get folk work up for when his show starts. It was good when Ian Wright was his co-presenter as he does not "play the game" whereas Gough will just do as he is told and make Durham look smarter and wiser than he really is.

It was good when Ian Wright was his co-presenter as he does not "play the game" whereas Gough will just do as he is told and make Durham look smarter and wiser than he really is. In which case you'd have to say he is very good at his job.This sums up the broadcast media today. Too many people make the mistake of thinking that these radio and tv stations are there to tell us what's going on and facilitate sensible debate and discussion. They're not. They're there to make as much money as possible for the parent company that owns them and the controversy is manufactured in order to increase ratings as increased ratings equals increased revenues which equals increased profits. Lack of controversy means lack of debate which means less revenue. It's why perfectly correct refereeing decisions, for example, are presented as hugely controversial when they're not as "Ref got decision right" headlines don't make people tune in to see the incident or buy papers to read about it. Although in the case of Willie Collum it probably would do.... Telling us what's happening in the world of sport (or whatever other subject the station is set up to exploit) and facilitating reasoned and sensible debate has got all to to with it. Same goes for the print media. All of which means Durham is very good at his job, in so far as what his job actually entails, as he winds people up, gets them to listen and call in and that's all his role consists of. He's the owner's bitch. Doesn't matter what he or his guests ACTUALLY think or believe. None of this stops him being a total bellend of course.

wanderer Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) In which case you'd have to say he is very good at his job. Exactly, and BBC Scotland employed the same tactic with James Traynor when he was on the radio. Re: Durham, I think he is pretty high up in the chain of command at Talksport and the running of the station.

irnbruman Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I cant stand Brazil - fat odious twat. Talksport is very hit and miss. I really like the Colin Murray show after the Brazil show (Proclaimers on it this Thursday) Quite obvious at handovers that they don't like each other. Good show at 10pm with Andy Goldstein and Jason Cundy. Hate the two pricks on the overnight program - Mike Parry and Mike someone else - just absolute drivel. But the nighttime show much better at the weekend without them. Edited October 6, 2015 by irnbruman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 he may have a point because if we beat poland and then ireland beat poland it means ireland qualify,we go into the play offs and poland go out.its just another scenario for us to think about.

DoonTheSlope Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 How long can they rip the arse out this Brendan Rodgers story. At every single break they play number of games he won/lost/drew. How much he spent each summer and how it's spooky he got emptied after Everton away Utter shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stactuso85 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Anyone who says that 'back to proper football' crap and claims to be a football fan needs a slap, especially if they are talking about the EPL which is as far from reality as it gets.
