Only an Excuse

[Scotty]

We dont normally allow football links to be posted but for anyone abroad looking for their fix of OAE and unable to get someone to record it for them for later ...... here is a stream for you that I have discovered.

Thank goodness I loaded up Zattoo early and discovered they no longer have BBC One (Scotland) listed, just BBC One (National) !!!!

Terry gets in but only to slag off Aberdeen .....

County and Dingwall High Street was funny though

[Georgeios]

Happy new year scotty and team CTO.

[dan_ict]

Was very dissaponted that Frank Macavenie only appeared twice :(

[MissICT]

Only an Excuse has to be the best part of Hogmany telly

[Renegade]

I thought it was rubbish again this year.

[Pele_Is_God]

It's been rubbish for years, even Jools was cack last night.

[Johnboy]

I thought it was rubbish again this year.

So very predictable - way past its sell by date.

[PaderbornCaley]

It's a shame that Terrys air time was probably the most boring joke in it all! Dingwall reference made me laugh but it's not been very good for about 5 years

[Scotty]

I guess OAE needs the same 'makeover' that Scottish Football does ....... pretty sure that many younger folk have no clue who Frank McAvennie or one or two others actually are !

Thought it was better than it has been in recent years.

But Macavenie jokes have past their sell by date, maybe using 1 setch of him a year is just about ok. They need to freshen up the characters and make it more relevant to Scottish football today and the year that has past. Macavenie isn't even a Scottish football personality anymore and anyone under 30 probably can't remember him as a footballer anyway!

Speaking on behalf of the younger folk Mr CJ and I both turn 30 this year and neither of us remember McAvennie as a footballer but as one of the main characters on OAE. I too was disappointed by it, mainly because we went to see the one man OAE stage show in 2009 by Jonathan Watson and it was hilarious.

[PaderbornCaley]

I actually quite like the Mcavennie clips. They are predictable but OAE wouldn't be the same without them! Odd that Craig Brown wasn't in it.

[TopSix]

The radio show he does is much better than oae. Except from the woman in it - she's annoying.

[tm4tj]

Stick with Scotch & Wry, absolutely priceless.

I have just turned 30 and remember McAvennie as a player but only for Celtic in his latter years. I have just watched OAE and got to the Butcher part and turned it off. It was that dire. I suppose the Dingwall clip was funny to someone from Inverness given the rivalry but it was really pish! How poor and overdone is Chick Young now? It's cringeworthy!

Fitba' and women don't go together at all. Well maybe at Caley games along with tartan blankets and flasks of soup!

[RiG]

Quite enjoyed the cheeky slagging of Ross County mainly because it involved Catriona Shearer

[Georgeios]

Chick young is a legend, go compare n we by any player .com brilliant!!

If it wasn't for women the St Johnstone average gate would be around 1500

If it wasn't for women, there would be an average higher gate. 2 of my friends don't go anymore because of the constant squealing of silly women who know nothing about the game. St. Johnstone used to have great crowds when it was a rarity to spot a slavering woman at the fitba'.

More women= More pissed off men that can't be doing with them.

[The Mantis]

Are you not confusing the stadium with your bedroom

Move back to Muirton Park, sign Alex Rennie and Ally McCoist. Watch the crowds rocket.

I wish my bedroom was filled with as many women!

[Glen Mhor]

A weak and at times cringeworthy effort again this year. The format is tired and definitely needs a revamp.
