Thread: Scott Wilson

  1. #1

    Scott Wilson

    Im not one for promoting violence in any way shape or form.
    Is it only me that wants to smack this guy in the mouth?
    The last two weeks ive been subjected to his attempts at sarcastic digs aimed at Hibs and their players.
    To be quite polite about it, he just gets on my nerves! (thats me being polite)

    Last week it was the inane voice when Hibs scored, that sound of disappointment he couldnt mask!
    Then throwing it in that the attendance that day was the third sell out crowd at Tynecastle.
    He must think he is amusing but i dont know how?
    Id heard to from a jambo pal of mine he had taken to twitter after the games slating the Hibs support for fighting with police, stealing from a refreshment kiosk causing trouble outside the stadium banging on stationery buses? Yet i never noticed any of this from where i was sitting or being reported after the game?

    Yesterday at half time he was announcing the former players who were taking penalties and advised that Mickey Weir was supposed to attend but had to pull out injured. if he didnt believe he was injured then he should have asked Mickey and not made assumptions over the microphone.

    Im sorry if you all think this trivial but the guys a plonker and spoils my day out having to listen to him!!

    I get your point although as much as I think he is a knob he is also a really good announcer and I wish Hibs had their own version of him.

    And breathe!

    I'm sure you know this already, but that's exactly the reaction he wants.

    He's there for to entertain and amuse his own support, not us, and there's nothing more entertaining or amusing than baiting your biggest rivals when they're in the "stadium.

    The semi-final against St Johnstone was slightly different in that we (jointly with the other 3 semi-finalists) had hired the ground, so were entitled to expect a certain level of service, but the only thing he did of note was his little jibe about sell out crowds which is hardy crime of the century.

    He's not the worst thing about derby games at the PBS by a long shot, and he's not the reason that I've given up going to them.

    Having looked at Scott Wilson's Twitter feed there was nothing on it about Hibs fans.
    But I agree he's a wind up merchant. The thing is he could cause real problems with the likes of the Old Firm if he makes snide digs at them as those Rangers & Celtic types are not exactly known for being balanced or good humoured.

    He's a wind up merchant, I wish the Hibs stadium announcer was good as him. Jambos love him and everyone else thinks he's a dick.

    His comments don't bother me in the slightest, I just take it as a bit of banter. The biggest thing that will stick in his craw, and probably every Yams fans craw too, is, whilst they keep proclaiming about sell out crowds every week, the biggest crowd of the season at Tynecastle was our game against the Saints, whilst Sunday was their 2nd biggest crowd, meaning Hibs have their top two attendances of the season so far.

    I remember him from away back when he was the announcer at Scottish Claymore games at Murrayfield and thought he was fine.

    Unfortunately I can understand everything he says, including all the verbal diarrhea. I don't know if that's down to the quality of the sound system at piggery park or simply because he's a better announcer than the guy at ER.

    I'm going to a wedding in June and this clown is the DJ for the evening

    The bride and groom have told him they don't want it to become a football banter night but you just know he will slip some reference to the Jambos/Hibs in there especially as one of the Hertz players is also attending.

    If he's any good he will stick to the brief. He is being paid to be a professional, not the stadium announcer in Dounreay..... He'll be getting booked via an agency and he may be sought after but bad feedback is bad feedback .... My money is actually on he'd leave it alone. Remember there may be a Jambo in the audience but for all he knows the entire rest of the male guests are all ex Casuals. He'd be stupid to take the chance

    Scott is a good friend of mine. Scott is the best announcer in the country. He did not wind up anyone on the semi final day he played the proclaimers when we scored. SW is the most professional media guy I know. He loves his football he loves the banter with all teams. He hates know one I have had him at Hibs matches and takes all banter well. Our issue is that we don't have a decent announcer or a club that wants to wind people up we sacked the guy for playing the tax man. Chill out and learn to take the banter as well as dish it out. He is not a knob but a passionate supporter and as he said the best job in the world

    I was at a game where Scott ridiculed them because the booed kids think it was the night off the Lennon attack and again he had ago at his own support

    Guy is a class A ****er but tbh his patter and his constant obsession with digging at hibs every time he opens his mouth is boring now so I don't bother getting annoyed at it. Bit cringey however that he talks about and digs at hibs over the mic at tynecastle even when we aren't playing them haha! Nice to know we are such a thorn in his side!

    Everyone apart from hearts fans can see what a classless, hibs obsessed tit he is and thats good enough for me.

    We'll see, he's actually doing it as favour as he was asked directly by the player who is a good friend of the groom.

    I don't mind him, as grown to ignore his 'banter', but why get a Hearts mention ('another sell out crowd') at the end of the semi final of a national cup competition, when it was completely inappropriate. You need to have a lot of self-confidence to do his job, but he seems to always want to be the centre of attention.

    Brilliant at what he does.I'm amazed so many Hibs supporters are at Tynecastle so often that they are annoyed every time he opens his mouth.

    No problem with the guy, been doing this kind of thing for years. Used to annoy me, as did their rolling out their latest ageing "Hearts Hero", but now it's all rather sad and pathetic. Hearts have become a parody of themselves and utterly obsessed with Hibernian, which I find highly amusing. Life has little meaning for many of them beyond the Derby match.

    The thing that does concern me is the friendly banter that has always been an enjoyable part of the rivalry has in recent years become a tad more sinister, especially for the lunatic fringe of their support. IMO both clubs need to keep an eye on that and make sure they don't overstep the mark. The lewd goal celebration by the Hearts player on Sunday is an example. That's not banter, it just just crass and unacceptable.

    Folk like Levein and Neilson SHOULD be the voice of reason in the Yam camp and able to put the breaks on stuff like that, but sadly I sense they're also just another couple of Yams with chips on their shoulder when it comes to Hibs. Ann Budge strikes me as a much more sensible sort who would not be best pleased with that players gesture.

    I will be nice to him at the wedding.
