pcbear 10,924 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 He pops up from time to time as Tom Millers co commentator and he is the best by a mile, proper fan with good input and makes no effort to hide it, top man Shuggie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briton 394 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Absolutely terrible. The wall to wall insanity all but ruined it for me. I disagree with BP, I don't want partisanship, I want good commentary. All that really means is he makes excuses for poor play by a Rangers player and throwing rationality out of the window when it comes to a refereeing decision. It's great when we score though, I'll give you that. I also want the pundit to only put his oar in when something of note happens, as it used to be. These days they have to talk non-fucking stop and it's 90% drivel. 'Oh he over hit that pass and it's gone out for a throw'. Yes I fucking know! Tom Miller just said that and I'm fucking watching! You'd think they were on radio. To be fair it's not just Hugh. Gordon 'I scored against Juventus' Smith is another, but Tom gets all these guest talking too much simplistic crap. As for Tom Miller. The guy is a very good commentator, when he commentates that is. He is extremely knowledgeable about Rangers and obviously loves the club. I just wish he'd concentrate on the game; he seems to want to just commentate on the highlights whilst jibbering inanely about irrelevant shite for large parts of the game. Actually yesterday wasn't so bad on that score, ironically, as Hugh filled in the blanks with his constant white noise. Been meaning to rant about this for a while.

Fair comment, there are untold other media platforms that are imo completely the other way, maybe that's why its as refreshing as it is unusual, yip they cut the players a bit of slack and they are not John Motson clones, but they are fans the same as you and me.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Wonder who RTV will line up for Tuesday and for the Cup games (assuming RTV gets a transmission feed for the cup games)? At some point in time I suppose it's possible we will see / hear Ally McCoist and / or Walter Smith. They've both had the sense to stay well out of the media light to let MW and the team get on with the business of winning the league. But at some stage I guess they will want to comment on the achievement of the team this season and to congratulate MW/DW. Wonder if the place for this might be RTV. TBH, for all the failings as the Manager, Ally the player is legend. Ally commenting on celebrating winning promotion - would RTV have him there on Tuesday?

MacStoner_96Bear_ST 27 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I thought his commentary is excellent and goes excellently with Tom's - comparing it to being at the game you would actually want to hear their Rangers TV commentary while you are there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markem 7,287 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I enjoy listening to Miller and Burns. Sure there is the odd cringe moment and the patter can be a bit dodgy at times but the guys are staunch and unapologetic about it. What's not to like?

centenarystand 2,227 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Glad this thread came up. Im a great Tom Miller fan he's my kind of Rangers man, totally dyed in the wool with some great quotes. A few weeks ago whilst on the attack at Ibrox a defender barged into one of our players and wee Tam cries " get oot the way you", quality. After the replay at Kilmarnock Warbuton was being interviewed for RTV and Tam was coming across the pitch in the background with DJ throwing his fists in the air, just like the rest of us totally elated at the last minute winner.
