uphallsaint Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just read Tam Cowan's page in the Daily Ranger. He said our PA Announcerwas carted away to the loony bin for talking to himself. Surely that wasn't the reason he was sectioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjfc99 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Still think it was poor there was no music post-match last week with something appropriate like heroes or rockin' all over the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy76 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Never understood a word the announcer says - although its probably my hearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 To be fair, he needed to get the fans off the pitch to allow the players back out. I thought he did an admirable job, considering the tannoy system is like a 1950s railway station affair. dan loves saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saints Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Never understood a word the announcer says - although its probably my hearing No I agree....think they need a new tannoy system @ McD! Struggle every week to hear what is being said. Last game was particularly bad. Lost count of how many half time draws I've missed. Hate to admit but the sound system at Tannadice is braw in comparison....disappointed that no decent music played after the final whistle....a missed opportunity?!

Jimmy Wallace Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Kevin has said on numerous occasions that the club won't invest in a new PA system. Ours has been pants for years. The club clearly have other priorities though, which I can understand, but I do think the atmosphere/experience could be improved by being able to hear what is being played and said. The Saints are Coming by the Skids should really get us all pumped up when the team comes out, but the insipid round of applause that greets our heroes rather echoes the feeble output on the tannoy. By the way, who else thinks this standing in a line shaking hands pish has helped kill the rapture of seeing the team come out of the tunnel?

ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 That thing where players come out and jump and pretend to head the ball - always cracks me up. When Kevin James did it you could see him from mainland europe. 541ntees, Come On Ye Saints, Calinho and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake hands after if needs be, but before and during the game, the players should be hating each other and doing all they can to beat the other team. What next, having to politely clap the opposition onto the pitch?! ;-) dan loves saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) The Saints are Coming by the Skids should really get us all pumped up when the team comes out Don't get to see games in person that much these days, but it had been The Liquidator the last few times I was at McD, with what sounded like a small handful of people clapping along. Then whatever that trumpet noise that was being used recently. Both fairly cringeworthy. Came across horribly when watching on TV or listening on the radio. It should just be kept simple and upbeat. The Saints Are Coming is a great choice. I remember that being played when I was younger and going to games regularly in the late 90s, used to love it. Definitely worked.

AthensSaint Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wait till SEVCO come for the first time, and bow out in a blaze of glory by saying along the lines of "The Rangers, formed in 2012". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
