martoon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Listened to Jim Spence for years on TV and radio and met him a few times in person. Great bloke with no bias, even against Dundee, and treated dreadfully by BBC Radio Scotland. A 2/3 week 'holiday' and for what? Suggesting, incidentally, that Rangers might be a new club? Bloody shameful on BBCRS's part. No shame on fans of Rangers. They have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penicuik jambo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Maybe he's coming to gorgie to replace Paul Kiddie! One of the better ones on sportsound, doesn't brown nose the ugly sisters. Will be a loss to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Can mind a young steward refusing Jim Spence entry into Tannadice once.

jake Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 As bad as Celtic fans. Nah think celtic fans have a bigger chip. Rangers fans are under cosh so they are a bit more vocal.

Carl Spackler Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I quite like Sportsound and Scottish Football on the Radio for the most part especially since Traynor left.

Captain America Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Jim Spence was one of few decent guys doing the sport on BBC Scotland. Hopefully he has somehting lined up as be a shame to lose one of the only decent radio pundits. He is a good laugh to follow on twitter. Was treated shamefully by BBC over the whole Rangers/Newco issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Vallance Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Bang on. The BBC Glasgow Mafia are rooting out the sensible ones so English better watch his back. Jim Spence ripped into Sevco from Day 1 so probably his card was marked but he should easily get a job working for a decent broadcasting company. Good luck trying to find one of those.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Talksport? They are starting a Friday night Scottish prog Will that be anything to do with Gordon Dallas who did the last one on Talk 107? The Kickabout was actually pretty good most of the time, until they started getting that squeaky voiced wee Rangers TV fecker to present it... Tom something. A similar program with Spence involved would be a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kickabout was actually pretty good most of the time, until they started getting that squeaky voiced wee Rangers TV fecker to present it... Tom something. A similar program with Spence involved would be a good show. The Kickabout was a great idea in theory, but expecting Gordon Dallas to fill FOUR HOURS with fitba chat was a bridge too far. Often suffered due to a lack of content. It could've been a great 2 hour show though. Wonder what happened to Gordon, and wonder if he keeps in touch with Mike Graham (of Talksports The Two Mikes) who was station controller at 107...

Sex Panther Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Listen to Sportsound vary rarely, but always liked JS. Was there one comment in particular that he's made? Or just the fact he's not toed the official party line on numerous occasions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
