It should have been ten Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 5 hours ago, SectionDJambo said: Anybody expecting eloquent conversation is tuning into the wrong place. What you get is the mindset of the Scottish footballer, good and not so good. Ian Black could have easily been regarded as man of the match in the cup final. But such is the other side of his game, he could have easily been sent off for the challenge on Griffiths, which could have been a game changer. He was a very good player for us, and has his place in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have to be honest and say I've never heard of this particular Mr Ferry let alone listened to one of his interviews. I struggle to give any credence to someone who refers to himself as "Si". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If you listen to what he actually says he would quite happily have signed for Hibs twice in his career. Fair dues but the ‘turning down Hibs 4 times’ is misleading. He’d agreed terms and passed a medical once and just needed a longer deal the other time.

Kept hummin and hawing when asked about being a big Hearts fan. Basically was a ball boy as a youngster cos tynie boys club done the honours for us....was about as close to him being a hearts fan it seems and would’ve signed for Hibs had they offered the right terms.

Blackie was sent off twice under Paulo (the guy I was debating with said the first one “didn’t count” as it was only Paulo’s third game in charge!!!) and could/should easily have had two more reds. His dragging of studs down Ledley’s shin in the semi would have been a red had it been seen. A bit of a cult hero for running the final but could so easily have been a villain. Good passer, average player, awful temperament. Still being wound up by Junior players and falling for it, so I’m told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - it goes to show that the aggressive/hostile style of interviewing, which you so commonly see in the political sphere, is rarely the most effective in terms of eliciting information. If you are amicable and light-hearted with the person you are interviewing they're much more likely to open up. Some of Si Ferry's interviews are very good.

VALDOS' Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I would imagine Scottish media pricks like Young, Spence, McLean etc must ****ing hate Si Ferry 😁 With all the years of media training, education and their positions within the Scottish football scene, they wouldnt get half the stories out of these guys that Si has. Does piss me off though that he can't get all those Eton educated boys on so we can hear some of the Queens English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good to hear Black's opinions although his memory didn't seem too good on a few things and I don't think he came across particularly well. That interview also surely ends any idea that he was a diehard jambo. Always interesting to hear from the 5-1 squad and at least he didn't hold back on his opinions.

To lift a Scottish cup with your (apparent) boyhood heroes and then turn around say I never considered myself a professional footballer untill I signed with rangers is a ludicrous statement 😂.
