sbcmfc Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Billy Brown doesn't come across very well. Seems like a bit of a dinosaur, that thinks ex-pros should just give wishy washy comments that won't upset anyone. I'm not a fan of pundits that say things to be controversial (burley or Sutton for example), but to be fair to Michael Stewart, I think he just says what he thinks, and isn't worried about upsetting folk, more former players should be like that.

Stewart_Aberdeen Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I've not heard it yet but Richard Gordon and Jim Spence have both been on the By the Minute Aberdeen podcast and one of them (can't remember which) said it's all agreed beforehand who is going to take each side of the argument. At least it the days of Young vs Traynor but you'd think it'd be much the same now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal smith Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I like Michael Stewart as a pundit, seems Billy Brown still has a chip on his shoulder about himself and Lockes exit from hearts when their contracts were not renewed when Levein and Budge came in. Stewart was quite vocal at the time about the poor job they had done that season and how budge was right to shake things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 That was what the used to do on the Real football phone in. If Roughie said black, Ewan Cameron said White. (still the only victim of Scottish football Armageddon!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember listening to Ewan Cameron throwing a highly emotional flakey on Real Radio before the 2008 Northern Ireland friendly. Arguing that we should respect "our British national anthem" and that "a certain Scotland fans forum" was orchestrating a campaign to boo it. I wonder which forum that was ...........

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 What does Billy Brown mean when he tells Michael Stewart that he is not entitled to criticise because he has never been a coach or manager ? Obviously ,Billy thinks even less of the fans right to comment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_1980 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I actually find Michael Stewart to be refreshingly honest and objective. The pundits on the BBC, such as Stewart, Tom English, Pat Nevin, Stevie Thompson et al are actually quite good, I think, and if the programmes they were on were actually backed with a budget in excess of the price of a pie and bovril, they could actually be decent. From listening to "Teammates" on Radio Scotland recently, Billy Brown managed to earn a few quid purely by being Jim Jefferies' old school mate.

kumnio Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Billy Brown is a complete idiot, his points are nonsense. Michael Stewart is spot on, absolutely spot on. Billy Brown is the absolute epitome of Scottish fitbs job for the boys, the reason that we are shite at the game, A dinosaur with nothing to offer.

caledonian1 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Billy Brown comes out of that terribly. To suggest you can only have an opinion on football if you are " qualified" to do so...ie you have been a manager. I really like Michael Stewart he is one of the few pundits worth listening to...as someone said earlier BBC Scotland have quite a few decent pundits (Stewart, Nevin , Thompson) BT really need to sort out their pundits and co-commentators......Michael Own and Savage are unbelievably bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
