I couldn't agree more. Cosgrove has lots of experience in programme making and is not an Old Firm fan so he was a great choice for this one.

I was never a huge fan of Cosgrove but he won me over during the Rangers liquidation fiasco. He was scathing in his assessment of how out of touch the sports media in this country were and seemed to genuinely have some understanding of the modern football fan.

Since then whist I've not always agreed with him but I've always listened to what he has to say.

Yep, he has similar views on Hearts and any other club that overspends. He's never afraid to put his opinion of the ugly sisters forward either - always worth listening to.

40 Years of Sportscene.............. sounds like a life sentence with no chance of parole.

Aye I watched it from there earlier.

I remember in the 70's there was a 'Scoreboard' programme after the games early evening before Dr Who were they had reports from each game.

Funny to think how far the game and technologies have evolved.

Good programme. I really wish the BBC would make all the footage they have available to fans. Every club will have goals and action rarely seen.

Said on off the ball on the way home that when a tvstation wins the rights to show matches it also wins the archives.Find it pretty strange to be honest.Some of the old archive stuff would be great to see.

Remember that. Alistair Alexander, Brian Marjoribanks and Alistair Dewar who did the Edinburgh games.

I saw Marjoribanks score a nice goal against Hearts so I must be even older.

It was always a dreich day at Easter Road when Alistair ( dour) Dewar reported on Hibs. Also mind a character called Sandy McLeish who was a wee bit chirpier than Dewar and Gordon Hewitt.

And there was a guy with massive specs called Fraser Elder. Think he was the Dundee rep. Alistair Dewar was one of the most miserable characters I've ever seen on the telly.

Fraser Elder reminded me of "Brains" from Thunderbirds.

It was a better show than i expected but could have shown more grief stuff. Sunshine on leith at hampden,super caley go ballistic etc. Still too focused on the gruesome awesome and apart from pat nevin and Michae Stewart pundits are naff.

Watched it on player last night. Pretty enjoyable, but could also have been better. Perhaps needed a bit more of football included. I would have liked to have seen a few more archive clips from memorable games.

My 12 year old laddie laughed out loud when he saw Archie McPherson's attempted comb-over, WTF was auld ginger nuts thinking? Dougie Donnelly's moustache was also pretty

As someone has already said. I would live to see a retro series of highlights from a given season. It's been done with MOTD and I reckon it would go down nice up here. Question is, what did the Beeb do with the archives?

[Pretty Boy]

Finally watched this and enjoyed it a lot.

Could have done with a bit more football footage though imo. ITV 4 used to show The Big Match Revisited on a Sunday morning and it would be good if either the BBC or Sky could do something similar with Scottish football. There's some great old footage on YouTube and seeing it presented in a proper show would be superb.
