That's the one I remembered when I was trying to think of the announcer before Scott. 😂😂 Scott will be a big miss as the announcer but good he's staying to do the hospitality stuff. It always seems weird when someone else fills in for him as announcer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My half sister Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 My son commented on the way out of Tynie in the cup game that the guy on that day played better music, he’s 32 and likes ‘thumping’ stuff. I’m sure Scott appeals to us older types but it’s like when you realise Radio 1 is no longer for you, it’s time for him to pass on the baton, it will mean he will be able to concentrate more on the Gorgie Suite rather than running back and forth, and I’m sure he will enjoy that more too. The man is a Hearts legend and thanks for all you have done for our club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisnameis Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Sad to hear this. He is so much a part of the match day experience. Love his choice of music (my era) which other ground would you hear the Buzzcocks ? Coined some cracking phrases like “ heart and soul” “let’s make some noise” “ the wee team”. Like others have said he is brilliant at events with fans and players alike. I remember being in Edinburgh bicycle shop and heard his voice from the other end of the shop. It is unmistakeable. I think people will only realise how good he is when he goes. However, can see why people would like a change. Especially youngsters. Good to hear that he will still be around the club.

Kennedy Bakircioglu Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The best in Scotland and growing up as a fan over the past 20 years his voice becomes part of your match-day experience.

i8hibsh Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Wish him all the best but I have been wanting change for a while. I hope we get the right voice and enthusiasm in to replace.

The Bannon Flick Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Glad he is staying on in the Gorgie Suite as he’s brilliant at it. I’ve always found the ‘wee team’ patter very cringy though - I’ll no doubt be slated for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts_fan Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) 13 hours ago, GinRummy said: Hopefully a new catch phrase. ‘Make some noise’ a bit played out when you’ve heard it so much. Good guy though, comes over well in interviews and a good voice for a stadium announcer. Yep. It's the perfect opportunity to bin that ironic precursor to silence. Also, the music at the Livingston match – without Scott – was absolutely horrendous and inappropriate for the occasion and I mean that sincerely. At times it was like being in some sort of crappy rave. Edited February 26 by Hearts_fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often true. if the new guy wants to get me on side he’ll do well to consider more Bay City Rollers, 80s ska music and some old style reggae.
