Third Lanark Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I hadn’t realised Doolan was going through this which makes it even more incredible he has been doing since he has taken over while also having this worry to deal with https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/23508189.partick-thistle-manager-reveals-personal-torment-ill-father/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliballibee Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 He has, IMHO, been excellent in any of the interviews I've read or seen and dealing with his father's illness at the same time just makes this even more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there will be many in the football and beyond who like all Jags fans are feeling for Kris at this time. A real gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Terrible news regarding his father, lovely touch to see both sets of players wearing black armbands as a show of respect to Kris. The new banner shown on 9 minutes another lovely touch to show Kris the fans are with him in this difficult time, Brian Graham,s interview at the end was a touch of class too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I think Graham and Owen Coyle both handled matters well. Doolan was dignified as always. A hero. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 Agree with denismcquadeno.eleven. Prior to his return Kris had aside from running his academy been a regular co-commentator/pundit on Radio Scotland. His clear, concise and unrepetitive reporting, with a total disregard to those "hackneyed cliches", was so evident. What Dools could say in twenty seconds the likes of Yogi Hughes would require twenty minutes. My guess is that Doolan's days at the BBC were severely numbered. He was making his on air colleagues sound even more dreadful than normal. Clearly he'd have to go. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned that because so many presenters on BBC ignorantly use the word "data" as a singular noun, they have now instructed all presenters to use it that way. In other words, they are ordering people to speak incorrectly! Mark my words: next it will be that "th" is to be pronounced "f". What do I fink? Thuck that!

Listen, I'm not too sure who the radio co-commentator is at Rugby Park. But listen, he's got an annoying habit of starting every other sentence with a certain word.

I used to anticipate Archie using it in less than five seconds in his interviews, and usually wasn't disappointed. Brian Graham is a carbon copy in his PTWFC interviews. Another example is "Well...," which starts about 90% of the BBC correspondents' replies to questions from the studio, wherever they are, and however crappy the news value of what they have to tell us. But of course they cream off what they are "entitled to" from their expenses-paid "missions.". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
