When I was but a lowly STV trainee this man was incredibly nice from day one, which in hindsight set an unreasonably high standard for what to expect from TV. What a career.
If anyone wants to sell me two World Cup tickets to Scotland v Haiti on June 13th (or knows someone who wants to sell them) hit me up with a DM. 30 years I've been waiting, you know you want to...
Alright just spent stupid money on flights to Boston because I can't pass on the chance to see Scotland at a World Cup after 30 years of waiting. Anybody else? (If any of you even see these posts anymore...)
Fucking Scotland man. I've been lucky enough to get around a bit and live a few different places, and there's honestly nothing like it. Without suffering you cant understand this. Here we fucking go
Canny stop thinking about freezing cold nights at Hampden. Faddy's goal v France then the comedown v Italy. Celebrating Faddy's goal v Macedonia in a sea of bodies then the miserable walk to toon after Holland. Optimistically booking Russia and ending up with Iran v Morocco...
Started to think the memory of 98, seemingly harder to hold onto by the day, would be the last. Think most of us forgot what this feels like. Some never even had the chance. Mental. Looking forward to making some bad financial decisions and great life decisions.
@BumperGraham Seven years is an admirably long run in TV. Sure the desire for analysis of LaLiga won't go away and the baton will inevitably be picked up in some form
@FootballCliches re: the football Italia commentary clip, in the old talkSPORT online magazine office we had a CD with (among other things) the full commentary that we would play sometimes. Could've just read the back of it 🤣
🎞️ Den 25 april är det premiär för @grona_linjen – en långfilm om brokighet och gemenskap längs Stockholms tunnelbanas gröna linje, där kärleken till Hammarby är den gemensamma nämnaren. Dokumentären kommer att visas på biografer i hela Sverige.

Sven-Göran Eriksson won a Scudetto with Lazio and a European trophy with fucking IFK Göteborg and I've just read that "arguably his greatest moment as a manager" was winning a World Cup qualifier with England...
