Dino Velvet Posted September 15 Listening to Kheredine Idessane commentating on sportscene made me realise how bereft we are of quality commentators. I grew up listening to Archie McPherson, Alastair Alexander, jock brown and David begg. David begg for me was the best. He had a voice made for commentary.

You had to google Kheredine Idessane on how to spell his name didn’t you? No danger you knew how to spell it!!😂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sadj Posted September 16 Crampsey , Begg , Montford and McPherson were all real characters and the art of being able to suck you in to the game was easy for them. Of the commentators nowadays i like Derek Rae but very few others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letsalldothebeattie Posted September 16 Loved Derek Rae when he was doing the Scottish games a delight to listen to when in full flow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex MacDonald Posted September 16 Derek Rae, David Begg and Alistair Alexander are the best we’ve had. Archie McPherson’s legendary status is a joke. Knew nothing about sides outwith the OF, and Aberdeen in the 80’s, and when foreign players began to arrive in the 90’s, couldn’t pronounce any of their names, which for a teacher was amateurish.

Shaggy2 Posted September 16 (edited) Paul “suddenly it is a rout” Mitchell is my favourite. No sure my quote is completely accurate but that 2012 commentary is legendary. 🇱🇻 Unreal that the BBC promoted that squeaky voiced Celtic loving sheep shagger Liam McLeod to the top job on Sportsound. Never listened to a full match commentary for years. Him and Pat Bonner...🤮 Edited September 16 by Shaggy2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamhammer Posted September 16 Liked Arthur Montford and Archie. Gerry McNee was criminally awful Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seymour M Hersh Posted September 16 There are none who are even remotely decent. And as for that on Sky (who is English obviously) all he can do is slurp up the OF ringpiece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
