Colin Murray

[Mittens]

Judging by this thread there's enough to like for most people so in that respect the line up has been a refreshing change.

^^^^^^^ This is right!

I think after years of mediocrity TS has unwittingly stumbled on something that might actually work*






* Which means they'll all be gone after Christmas!

Why the fuck did they just waste an hour talking to Alastair Campbell?

The Chair of Truth.
And this has what exactly to do with sport?
Danny Murphy sweats too much......
A good example of Murray's teenager-ish Inbetweeners approach to everyone. A bit like a scorpion that can't resist stinging everything and Andy Goldstein bringing everything back to sex, it's never long before Murray gets personal. Next he'll be telling us whose socks smell.
To much extraneous crap surrounding and intertwined with everything.
Replace him with Brian Moore, Didi H. and Bob Mills.

I think that the Chair of Truth was suggested to Murray by Brian Moore. It was a technique for clearing the air that he had come across on a Union tour

Thanks, Michael.

Agreed, tennis and excellent comparison to The Stain. it is a self-indulgent, look at us, we can take socalled banter irrelevance. Fair enough for a Lions tour, that is lots of people stuck together 24/7 for months. This is a radio show where they meet 3 hours once or twice a week so hardly worthy of clear the air sessions, especially on radio. As per, it can only get more ridicoulous, you smell, no you smell worse. Ha fucking ha. It is a risible concept

I can see Murray liking this aspect as it allows despite the banter, some err good truth radio, not refreshing, just dull, which is not that good for listeners. Still if the gobby Norn twat gets some self-realisation and works out he is the weakest link of the show, maybe some good.

As per, after seeing him and hearing him previously, was not overly excited about the Norn. But listening to bits over the days, there is a good show in there. Liking the different guests as per, Mills and Bunce, Murphy, Groves, Sotheton and even Gray can be half-decent, but nay, it is the glue that holds it together that is the weak link.

Like the Stain, everything about Murray is about Murray and the ego can only be curtailed so much. This show is so wanting a DK at the helm. It would be stunning.

Fawning over shite guests, not Primrose again, including H, oh wow we'll have another half hour of softer than a CBeebies interview and various arselicking others shows. Keep them onside, keep TS news on headlines for the rest of the day, It is poor.

But hey, the bog question. Shits and giggles back or Murray? Hmm. This type of show with a better presenter would be err brilliant. Murray is not that man though. Have to conclude, though, bring back the boys, err, lads, err seedy old man and pal from their desert prison. I miss Reidy chat.

Good show

Some of you will never be happy

Has Murray been watching too much Family Guy?



Stop asking pub questions ('Who would you like to be friends with') and discuss some sports issues / topics.

PS 'If you had to walk the dog of any sports star, whose would you walk and what dog would you say NO to walking?

[Dr David Starkey]

Has Murray shagged your missus? OK, he's not to everyone's tastes but there is far, far worse on the station.

Can he speak more slowly. I'd give him a go, but unfortunatley TS do not have a Listen Again at Half-Speed facility.

That's more racist than an England manager's half-time team talk. He can't help his ethnic heritage.

[finchman]

Murray is fucking shit,he just started an interview with Gareth Southgate with a two minute rant about his boyhood football experiences,..........this cunt loves the sound of his own fucking voice,his `interviews` are appalling!

I heard a couple of boys on talkSPORT around lunchtime on Sunday and they were doing sommat equally naff and a thought occurred to me.

All this kind of stuff was started by Danny Baker.

And Danny is such a talented broadcaster that he actually made it sound funny, interesting and real cutting edge, alternative radio.

Even today, no other broadcaster in England could make that red or brown sauce thing on his Saturday 5 Live programme listenable.

Now, I do think Colin is doing a decent job in that spot but I agree that the "pub question" type of feature ain't his thang.

Only Danny B can get away with it, IMO

Interesting point about DB, Pet.

DB's 5Live show on Saturday morning is really 2 hours about absolutely nothing and yet I love it.

I suppose it's all down to a combination of what you want / expect out of a show against what they believe they are trying to deliver.

I think with Baker's show, you know that it is 2 hours of nonsense and I certainly, listen with that in mind, knowing that this is what I will get.

And Baker, like Paul Hawkesby, has a pithy and encyclopaedic ability to pull out reference points from just about anything / everywhere.

But with Murray, I'm never quite sure that he's worked out what he wants it to say on the tin, as he tries to be all things to all men; serious, funny, light, heavy, considered, extreme, smutty, PC etc etc etc. and I find it all gets too jumbled and ultimately cliched. He also makes out he's a star f**k**r (kowtow, kowtow) but actually inside, I reckon he thinks HE is the star.

I think he wants to be the sporting nerd that he is (which is OK) but feels the need to be one of the lads in the pub while still making out he can be part of some Wimbledon dinner party set. Too confused.

PS I once thought Max Rushden was ok but that warm up show is the biggest pile of self serving, narcissistic, mushy b/s possible, falling between every crack. It's a complete and utter waste of time.

I heard 5 mins of Max and the Mumbling Mick 2 weeks ago - they had some back room cunt counting out how many beans were in a can of err...you guessed it. A mug had to ring in and guess how many.

Not since Cundy and Coke'ead's What's your favourite sandwich has there been such a fuckin' piss taking, no prep couldn't give a shit, gimme the money, time filling cobblers.

Not even the Candyman could spin gold from that lazy crap.

Appraising this particular feature against the oft stated broadcasting mission of 'inform, educate and entertain', I'd say it is light on the first, non existent on the second and average on the third.

At least K & G addressed some issues (when they weren't gaffawing with their mullet wearing 1980's football mates about golf).

Is there an embargo on discussing the Champions League, for example?

Seriously, I mean seriously. Stop mucking about.
