Broadcastcallum Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Yeah apologies - the Away line just wasn't working so technical hiccup there. I did still do the comms and make up the highlights package though from our TV camera that was there: Edited October 19, 2015 by Broadcastcallum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gotti Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Really disappointed with some of the commentary today. At points I thought I had paid for Sevco TV as Callum waxed lyrically about "The Gers". Poor show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At points I thought I had paid for Sevco TV as Callum waxed lyrically about "The Gers". Poor show! Sorry you felt like that but I gave plenty of St Mirren praise equally. Including in the post match show. I'm pretty open to both sides praise/negativity. Really enjoyed what I seen today from the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Bud Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Listened for the first time today and aside for some early buffering I was impressed by the quality of the show - the commentary and the professionalism of all involved.will be recommending St Mirren radio to my family and friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not interested in a balanced broadcast, it's a StMirren broadcast we want. Where's the point of not criticising and/or praising BOTH sides if it's deserved? Surely commentators are there to comment on the progress of the match. Not to ignore certain aspects just because of the colour of the jersey.

My only complaint would be calling them The G*rs.What's wrong with calling them The Scum? I agree. And I think that was the point made by John Gotti.The old, now-dead club that cheated on tax, national insurance and employment contracts was the club with the "cuddly" moniker. They were criminal, so undeserving of any "nice" names. This new club has been run by a series of spivs, is living on loans for a short time because it pays players with money it doesn't have. This means that, like Gretna, they are also now cheating clubs like St Mirren, Hibs and Falkirk. And have also cheated their way through the lower divisions. There's nothing wrong with referring to such an organisation as "Scum". Edited October 28, 2015 by bluto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soctty Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Keep it balanced - just because other club stations are laughably biased doesn't mean we should stoop to their level. Except when big Naismith is on co-comms, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadcastcallum Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Hi all, We of course deliver the story of the game and do the radio show pre/post game from a St Mirren narrative story/angle but are not blinding over obvious decisions for/against the opponent. Sunday for example focused on the narrative of where St Mirren are in the table with a nod to what Rangers where playing for too at the top. I think for ex-pats watching our TV coverage also good to give as wide a flavour of the league/info as possible as they probably don't see too much else Scottish football if they are abroad. General rule of thumb i've had with the co-comms on home games is for me to be 50/50 (or 51/49 to the Saints) and just call the game. Whether it's hammering Dunfermline or the late goals conceded v Falkirk or Raith. The co-comms have balanced honest opinon but they have the licence to lean far more of course in favour of the saints using we, us etc or in Naismith's case rant (which by far is the highlight of the season of course - he was brilliant). However it's not over the top as mentioned in previous pages that seems to be favourable. We've been blessed by decent co-comms all season who have been a bit biased but not over the top. You can have your opinons on Rangers of course - obviously I can't/won't go into that - I'm there to call the game whatever the opponents nicknames are or not. I hope you continue to enjoy the season on TV and Radio. Full radio commentary all being well at Falkirk on Saturday.
