Is Lewis Macleod the the BBC Radio Scotland commentator who regularly tells everyone how many minutes have been played but rarely mentions where the ball is or what's happening to it?
Crocker is an actual Hibs fixture now.
His "Henderson to deliver", "What kept you Hibs, what kept you?" and "At last, at last, at last" are as iconic to me as "Some people are on the pitch, they think its all over. It is now" is to an Englishman. In fact that last line could have done for us in 2016 too...:wink:
Both Crocker and McLeod did a fantastic job of the final. Both gave us iconic sound bites. Liam McLeod at full time was also brilliant....and I have no doubt he pre scripted it.
Really good interview with David Begg. Imo the best there's been

Liam McLeod is an excellent commentator.
This was brilliant

I like Liam McLeod. Genuinely sounds excited about games he commentates on and commentates well. Not as good as Ian Crocker but still decent
Doing the Old Firm on Sportscene.
Just waiting for Morelos to be described as ‘The Colombian’ and Rogic as ‘The Australian’
During the 1975 cup final I remember vividly his description of the wasp that had flown into the commentary box causing him to spill his Bovril and a brilliant description during the game of folk waiting to catch a bus outside the ground at Dens park ....... Francie was a genius, never to be bettered, I genuinely shed a tear when I heard he had died :not worth
I might be wrong but surely one of the reasons Paul Mitchell might not commentate on some cup finals or other Sunday matches is because he's a lay preacher and might have other commitments? He's done a few 'thoughts for the day' on the weekday morning news programme on Radio Scotland. The BBC would need someone available all weekend I would imagine. Just a guess though.
Nobody who chucks in the phrase 'maroon dragoon' can be called a good commentator.
Guaranteed he had some line involving that written down for a hearts goal.
