Lenziejag Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I don't speak Gaelic, but did anyone else notice that we had Balotelli playing for us. On at least 3 occasions Conrad was referred to as Balotelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 yeah I noticed that aswell, I rewindes it about 3 times thinking I heard it wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) I think I've heard that in previous Alba commentaries as well Edited March 16, 2015 by jaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I know we've been struggling lately, but if Archie has signed Balotelli then he needs to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 These extended highlights are rather unique in their editing. I've noticed two or three times they give virtually complete unedited coverage of the more mundane part of a game usually towards the end. It's as if they've suddenly realised they've got an extra few minutes to fill. Especially noticeable when the match is already won. They still appear dead set in showing every kick of the ball up to the final whistle. There's other parts of the game they could show when it's still being contested. That and a few extra action replays wouldn't go amiss. That said overall I'm grateful to revisit the game as I'm sure those who couldn't make it along welcome the comprehensive coverage.

ian_mac Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 How we weren't 3-0 up at half time I do not know. Â That said, great performance and a clean sheet, can't ask for anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 We should be grateful for the Alba coverage, as we get precious little coverage elsewhere! Â There was definitely an Italian playing for us on Saturday, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There was definitely an Italian playing for us on Saturday, though. Â there also seemed to be a jack inthebox playing for each team, got a mention almost every time the ball was in either penalty box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone remember one of mankind's greatest inventions the "McPherson Button"? Maybe about twenty years ago foreign games on Eurosport. So you wanted to know who the players were and nothing more. Unfortunately the only commentary in our native tongue was delivered by Heid the Breid Archie. Luckily we were supplied with a neat little button that could switch to a few other euro languages. Educational and informative into the bargain and utterly McPherson free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Heid the breid? Â Is that a wee mixture of "Heid the baw" and "Eat the breid"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ender Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 They really are done on the ultra-cheap. One camera, and when they show replays of the goals they just focus in on the original picture to give the impression of a different angle.

twinny Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Â Â Surely Conrad has a better goal scoring record than Baloteli this season? Â That was his first I think, so he must be close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeredStirlingsrightfoot Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I clocked the Balotelli faux pas also but had sound issues too whereby the commentators volume was low except when goals went in. I'm just glad we got 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I loved hearing ' You must wear a Thistle bonnet, with FTOF onnit' loud and clear during the game, superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just got round to watching the ICT highlights. In the 1st half when Lawless played an almost hospital pass to Booth, I am sure the commentator said Lawless .... Booth shat it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Anybody notice that after the goal, Alba flashed up the score Partick Thisle 1 - 0 St Johnstone, with Doolan the scorer after 3 mins ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
