  1. Auld Tam on

    Tam Cowan is an apology for a man. I first realised this when he used to openly, on air, slag off the wife of Michael Mols for in his words, “being a hound”. He regularly repeated various combinations of the same insult for cheap laughs.

     

     

    I don’t care who Mols played for, footballers are fair game and are very well paid, but bringing the family into that sort of stuff is not on.

     

     

    I remember my dad politely scolding me and a couple of my pals for making fun of a girl’s looks many years ago.

     

     

    “Real men don’t do that,” he said.

     

     

    He was right.

    I think it was about 2003,on Offside.

     

     

    Rudi speaks excellent English-far better than mine!-but clearly couldn’t think in English.

     

     

    As a result,he had to mentally translate the questions and answers before he could reply.

     

     

    It’s a recorded show,these things happen often,the gaps are edited out.

     

     

    Cowan slaughtered him. He filled those gaps,for sure. I know how I react down here when someone questions my ability to speak “their” language.

     

     

    Rudi had more restraint.

     

     

    It has to be seen to be believed;an utter car-crash from a so-called professional

    My two older sisters are brilliant cooks, and actually seem to enjoy cooking, wee blade is there for her Sunday dinner today roast chicken cooked in leeks ? They both live a couple of hundred yards from us so when I am off “we” will be getting fed by them

     

     

    Darren ODea on radio Scotland earlier talking up young Oconnell, quite like listening to Darren always positive about his former employers

    Talking of embarrassing after dinner speakers.

     

     

    Many years ago, I attended the Edinburgh & Heriot Watt Universities CSC annual Tommy Burns Supper. Tommy as usual, was guest of honour.

     

     

    Jim Delahunt started his speech with, “Some people call me Jim Delahun. Let me start off by saying I’m very much a Tim and I hate orange bastards.”

     

     

    The look of disgust on Tommy Burns’ face said it all.

  7. jimthetim53 on

    I’ve been to many sportsmen’s dinners in our church hall. The speakers were always told no swearing or dirty jokes. I listened to al lot of top table speakers and they were hilarious. There is really no need for it. Too many trying to emulate Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown.

    Aye. It was in Kilwinning as well.

     

     

    Masonic Lodge,no less. The Mother Lodge,Number 00

     

     

    Probably thought he was on safe ground but didn’t realise two things.

     

     

    One-you canny call people a paedophile just for a laugh

     

     

    Two-the priest he had a go at supports Rangers!

    Chubby could make you squirm. Saw him at The Palladium early 90s.

     

     

    Wi my 18yo lass. Her idea.

     

     

    Not her best. Great lads night out,I expect!!

  10. jimthetim53 on

    Saw him in Blackpool about 20 years ago Bobby and thought he was funny. Nowadays I don’t like comedians taking on minorities or women. Maybe after all the PC decades it’s had an effect on me!

  11. Greenpinata on

    Anybody who asks for Chubby Brown or goes to see Chubby Brown knows exactly what they are going to get.

     

    Years ago I worked with the son of Hector Nicol. Like chalk and cheese.

    It’s called growing up,learning from experience.

     

     

    I doubt anyone is free from skeleton in the closet behaviour which was OK in our youth,but frankly embarrassing now.

     

     

    Of course,since I’m still only 25,I still make an arse of myself occasionally (!)

    Met Hector Nicol once. At my next-door neighbour’s party.

     

     

    I’ve suffered from incontinence ever since.

     

     

    An incredibly funny man.

    Is it not hector nichol that sings the hearts song at swine castle ?

     

    ————————————————————————————————-

     

    “Nicol wrote and sang “The Hearts Song” for Hearts, and “Glory, Glory to the Hibees” for Hibs. He also wrote and sang “The Terrors of Tannadice” for Dundee United and “Dark Blue Of Dundee” for Dundee. However, he actually supported St Mirren. His 1984 album, Bravo Juliet!, reached number 92 for one week in the UK Albums Chart.[3]”

    Jimthetim53,

     

     

    Indeed, recall Wilson getting abuse from Der Hun and we replied ” I would rather be a …. Than a Hun!”

  19. NatKnow on

    Tam Cowan – pathetic twat of a man.

     

     

    I turn R. Scotland off when he comes on – just can’t listen to the crap he talks

    Good effort yesterday. Lots of energy on the park and off it.

     

     

    That said I am disappointed that our club did not take a more pro active stance on promoting the game with media and especially to the support.

     

     

    For me it is to the credit of our club that they get us ‘at the table’ for one of the few events giving us a global exposure and incremental tv revenue.

     

     

    To stay at this table the. I am sure generating great atmosphere for the matches will be of value ( eg China and Australia ). Sadly a half empty stadium is never a good sight for an organizing group keen to expand and promote their competition.

     

     

    Celtics attitude was that the organizers were in charge and wanted a clean stadium and control of the event. Celtic had nothing to lose as stadium was booked regardless.

     

     

    By simply feeding some positive energy around the game via press interviews and online push they could have converted plenty to attend the Battle of Britain etc and generated a far greater atmosphere and better impression of our collective passion for the game. Thereby helping ensure further involvement and selling our brand more positively.

     

     

    Sadly the lack of short term incremental return or benefit has fueled a couldn’t care less attitude within our commercial team.

    Chubby Brown story. I first moved to England in 1989, freind of mine and his football mates were all going to see him at Oxford , Apollo Theatre I think.

     

    I got asked to go along, usual stuff , a few pints before the gig and in we go. I sat for two hours wondering why everyone was rolling about laughing. The football lads all thought I couldn’t understand his accent and were amazed that I found it all a pile of shite.

     

    About 10 years later, I am at sales event at the Village Hotel just outside Blackpool. The bold Chubby Is resident there while he did a summer season at some theatre in Blackpool. Around half eleven the Chubby fellow arrives in the hotel bar after another sell out show in town, a couple of our lads go up to him for autographs as they are fellow Teesiders.

     

    It turns out that the Chubby one was up for a couple of pints and a natter about anything but show business. He entertained the company for around thirty minutes and never resorted to crude or horrible patter throughout.

     

    Still wouldn’t buy a ticket for one of his gigs though.

  25. embramike says "the Huns are Deid" on

    CELTIC are delighted to announce the signing of Kolo Toure. The Ivory Coast internationalist has joined the Hoops on a one-year deal. And the move reunites him with Brendan Rodgers, the pair having previously worked together at Liverpool.

     

     

    The 35-year-old defender has a wealth of experience, having played in the English Premier League with Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, winning two league titles and three FA Cups. He has also been capped 118 times by his country.

     

     

    Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, welcomed the signing and explained that Kolo Toure’s attitude and experience will benefit his young squad.

     

     

    “I brought Kolo into Liverpool to add that bit of experience and help to the centre-halves there at the time,” the Hoops boss said. “You saw from his impact there and in particular last season, he was a very important player for Jurgen Klopp towards the end of last season, playing in the Europa League final.

     

     

    “He was outstanding in the big games for me when I was there. He looks after himself, he’s a wonderful professional and he has good experience.

     

     

    “With a lot of young players in our squad, he can really help them and he can be of great assistance for the likes of Scott Brown, who is a wonderful leader.

     

     

    “But he needs support and help around him as well. It will be nice for Scotty to have someone behind him who has that real big-game experience. Kolo can do very well for us.”

  26. Greenpinata on

    BMCUW,

     

     

    Agreed about Hector Nicol. Very funny in the right circumstances.

     

     

    Worked with his son in the shipyards, poor guy, everybody thought he should be the nightshift cabaret act. Especially after a few librations.

     

     

    HH.

     

     

    PS : I’m sure years ago someone sang for both Celtic and Rangers Unofficial vinyl records. ( maybe someone called Daly or Gallagher, apologies if wrong )

    Celtic did not lose to Leicester,they drew,1-1.Thats the reason we got a point,as did Lecester.The penalties are only a gimmick set up by the organizers to give a bonus point so no team runs away with the section.We did lose 6-5 on penalties,but this had nothing to do with the 90 minutes played.

     

     

    Some Celtic blogs running with the “We lost”story.Maddening

     

     

    This was my original post.One point each,and one for the penalty winners

     

    How is that confusing?

  30. Greenpinata on

    BURNLEY78 on 24TH JULY 2016 2:39 PM

     

     

    Agreed, especially as all teams competing are contractually obliged to play their top players.

    Chubby is notorious for hitting the bar immediately after his gig.

     

     

    One of my mates left his show early,retired to the bar. And told a tale similar to yours.

     

     

    Btw,if you think he is bad,Gerry Sadowitz is worse. About 2013 I attended his gig in Swindon. Half the audience walked out.

     

     

    I knew what I was in for,so waited for the jokes. Well worth the wait. But far too many which missed the target.

     

     

    Which,of course,was his intention. He certainly made me think about acceptable comments.

  32. Rocket Man on

    Welcome to Celtic Kolo! Always liked you big guy!

     

     

    Chubby story…Roy’s real name is Royston Vasey and the League of Gentlemen used his name for the fictional town where the TV show was set. He appeared as the Mayor of Royston Vasey in an episode….

    Good to see Kolo Toure signing – will be a psychlogical as well as a practical boost to the squad, especially in central defence where we have appalling luck on the injury front.

     

     

    Really devastated to hear that Russia have not been given an outright ban from the Olympics by the IOC.

     

     

    I have always been a follower of athletics, although my interest has been waining over recent years due the doping scandals.

     

     

    This latest decision is sickening and has convinced me not to watch any coverage of the Rio games, other than sport headlines on the news – a sad day for sport.

  35. Gerryfaethebrig on

    Dembelle, now Kolo…… Good transfer dealings no point in signing players for the sake of it, am sure Brendan has one or two others waiting to see if we are in Eurooe, in EL or in CL

     

     

    On the promotion of the Celtic game am sure the promoters of these games are not too fussed about attendances more interested in the viewing figures, Celtic already had their cut the matter how many fans went through the gates

     

     

    Am delighted the fans who went enjoyed it (& no injuries to the players) it’s all about Astana

    Tam Cowan is an apology for a man.

     

     

    ______

     

    I heard Cowan in 2012 at a ‘Sportsman’s Dinner’. The only females present were bar staff and waitresses. So he chose to embarrass them with a repertoire of sleazy comments. Later on in his routine he compared the paraplegic athletes at the London Olympics to ‘vegetables’.

     

    The audience reaction to this remark warned Cowan he’d gone too far. Obviously worried, he came out with this: ‘What’s said in Port Glasgow stays in Port Glasgow.’ What a man! What a national treasure.!

    I saw Jerry Sadowitz in a small London venue many years ago, in true form have go audience walked out. Especially the Americans who took offence at his space shuttle gags.. Me, I knew what to expect and lapped it up.

     

    His close up magic was brilliant as well, he even had a wee chat with my mate and I at the bar after his set. My mate informed Jerry that I had travelled all the way down from Lanarkshire to see him (I hadn’t). Jerry says ” you must be f#%€in stupid , there are hunners of daft c@nts like me up there”

     

    Saw him again at Edinburgh , a good act.

  40. Burgas Hoops on

    Comedians eh

     

     

    I had the pleasure to see Tommy Cooper in 78 at the Maine Road social club in Manchester.

     

     

    He brought a small white picket fence and a gate onto the stage never said a word for about 30 min’s just walked in and out the gate with daft expressions……………………………the place was in an uproar with laughing.

     

     

    Now THAT is a comedian.

  42. Auld Tam on

    Mats Nilloc –

     

     

    You are “devastated” at the news that Russia have not been given an outright Olympic ban.

     

     

    Devastated?

     

     

    Really?

     

     

    With all that’s happening in the world?

     

     

    I think you need to set about recalibrating your moral compass.
