We don’t half have some snobs in our support. Don’t like the way O’Connor talks. Don’t like the matey way Ferry does interviews. Christ, these guys sound like Cambridge graduates compared to guys Iv stood beside at the fitba.

I've got a fanzine somewhere with an article outlining what someone heard from Donald Park at what I think was a youth game. He basically recounted what Park said and it came over as fairly outrageous (think it was lots of shouting and swearing at the kids) and the author said he should be shown the door as soon as possible. IIRC this was early at his first spell at Hibs and after a few years opinions changed to him being a very respected coach.
Mental isn’t it.
For me, the laid back approach is refreshing and is what makes the interviews. It’s not the generic questions and answers that we’ve heard one million times before.
Gives an awful lot of insight into the player, decisions they made and why they had the career they did.
Massive fan of the interviews as well as the podcasts, even though I can’t stand Kevin Kyle.
Just watched the first fifteen minutes of the Gaz interview and it is hilarious. Boozy filling Lucazade bottles with vodka and getting pished had me spitting my coffee out.
Brilliant watch.

Christian Dailly?
The same Christian Daily that got 67 caps for Scotland scoring 6 and 35 caps for the Under 21s scoring 5
Captain of Scotland 12 times
The same Christian Dailly that would walk into any HIBS team at the height of his career
I would take less than bang average every time
I still remember him booting the Dressing Room door after getting beat by Germany calling them cheating diving bassas and Bertie Vogts shouting after him “ Christian!”
Not that fussed about Kyle tbh took his ribbing at ER for being a jambo reject in good heart
Totally agree. To speak of Dailly as "bang average" is quite bizarre. He played nearly 800 competitive games (including international appearances) in a long career. Whilst no world beater, he was a decent enough performer at a high standard of football most of his career. .
As for Si Ferry, I've never seen players so open and so willing to discuss their careers. Aye, it's a bit cringe inducing at times, so what? I'd rather watch his interviews than the boring nonsense put out in mainstream media. Nearly all the folk he interviews come across pretty well. I'll make exceptions for Davie Moyes and David Weir.
:agree:
Spot on SFH
I have been a member of the Scotland Travel Club since the very beginning and I sort of know where the OP is coming from but Christian Dailly played at a time when we no longer had “world class” players and he was basically all we had as cover but he never let us down always gave 100% could get around a football pitch and was versatile and had bags of energy and enthusiasm for playing for Scotland almost scored a last minute goal at Wembley that would have taken the tie into extra time
Far from bang average imho would have taken him at HIBS in a heartbeat
Christian Dailly was a brilliant player even in his Dundee United days
Comes across as a decent guy and does speak well of hibs yeah but For some reason I just can’t take to him, don’t think he’s particularly funny and I think he quite often changes his views on something when he then hears Ferry’s opinion, which is odd considering he’s has a far more impressive career than Ferry.
I think Si Ferry is a bit of a yes man who just agrees with whoever is sitting next to him but there are some interesting stories so I still enjoy his interviews.
He does a great job at getting the ex footballers on his show and open up about their career. If it works then why change it? He’s not trying to be Pierce Morgan with hard hitting questions to damages souls, he’s asking ex footballers football story questions for football supporters imo.
I’ve been listening to more of these and I have to say I think they’re excellent.
I like his style - he lets the guest talk.
Ferry is from the same generation and background as his subjects and so puts interviewees at ease in a way that normal media types don't.
There's an undercurrent of class snobbery in the criticism of him.
There's a podcast I watch on YouTube called Undr The Cosh. It's three English ex players, Jon Parkin being one, that do a great interview with ex players. Usually lesser known English lads, but a quality listen in the car. The Kevin Campbell one was really good.
