Smooth Operator 10 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 .......on whatever station Malcolm McDonald does the phone in for, assumed it was Century. A geezer rang up to ask Malcolm what he thought of Scott Parker's performance today. McDonald basically said he thought he was average and we could do a lot better than him, and that he always seemed to be stretching for the ball which is a sign he's not capable at this level of football. Anyone else hear it, I didn't hear the full call but I couldn't believe it me like. McDonald usually talks sense when I listen to the Legends show, well I call it sense, it is compared to the shite Gates and Slaven come out with.

Gemmill 46032 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't hear that call, but out of the three of them I actually prefer Gates. Seems like a proper fan of his team, unlike McDonald who just talks crap to sound controversial or Slaven who's an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22001 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Didn't hear that call, but out of the three of them I actually prefer Gates. Seems like a proper fan of his team, unlike McDonald who just talks crap to sound controversial or Slaven who's an idiot. 90065[/snapback] McDonald doesn't talk crap at all, and I value his opinions as a top level player and as someone who looked like he'd make a decent manager. However, he has got an irrational dislike of Parker. Personally, I think he's a bit hyped, but McDonald goes over the top. It's either because he's backed himself into a corner and won't admit he's wrong or because Parker shagged his pet poodle imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 McDonald should just admit he was wrong initially about Parker but as Renton suggests, he's backed himself into a corner. I don't mind SuperMac and I quite like Gates on the show too (can't believe I'm saying that!). Slaven is moron though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I know a few Boro fans who see Slaven as no where near the status "Legend" at all, and that they only have him there as the next best thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Think Parker's been overhyped a bit tbh. That said, he should be in the England squad, but alongside, not instead of Carrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1255 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I think Macdonald talks a lot of Sh1te to be honest. He's very uninformed for a pundit and doesnt see that much of the team. I'd say Gatesy was the best of the three. Slaven is too anti-Newcastle to be anything decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6783 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Can't tackle. Strolls through games. Won't move out the centre circle. Newcastle fans would get on his back for keeping hold of possession by passing sideways as well Edited February 7, 2006 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few different people phoned in and tried to argue the toss with him and he basically spoke over them and just kept saying "But what has he actually DONE since he got here?!" Errrrrrr....have you actually been watching him play, Malcolm, or do you just have a massive personal dislike of him, cos for every game I've seen him play (mebbes bar one) he's played a blinder As for him not moving out of the centre circle? (Mr McGroin) As far as I can see, he's doing his job solidly in midfield, doesn't try and play in positions that he's not capable of, and doesn't try and take any glory by wandering up front and trying to be a hero. He quietly gets on with what he's paid to do - which is more than can be said for a lot of our players! Edited February 8, 2006 by catmag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
