[Ferrari312pb]

So what was the result of the match ?!

[mcdgreg21]

[BonesUk1980]

LMFAO DOUGIES HAIR

[SlickFunker]

I notice one person didn't like this video.

We know it was you Archie.

[SlickFunker]

Superb post. Absolutely hilarious. LOL.

[Iain1962]

Dougie Donnely in his Sheena Easton period.

[Noodles37UK]

Bloody hell I remember this. It must've been before they went Pink Floyd lol!

[jimbob1969]

Dougie, Dougie, Dougie Donnelly !!

[dcanmore]

[scotchprofessor]

Bring back the old Sportscene. bring back Sir Archie MacPherson. Bring back the coat. Bring back football as it should be.

[scotchprofessor]

Sir Archie MacPherson: legend.

[solefthanded2]

Weegie Prick

[MrSuperneil05]

I loved Archie's patter after Scotland were humiliated in the 1978 World Cup in the 1-1 draw against Iran and the after match comments of one of the pundits who said " Watchin that Scotland game was as much fun as having sex with an 85 year old woman" then Archie retorted "Don't knock it till you've tried it Hugh" Brilliant

[thekwizatshaderach]

dougie donelly the heroin years

[mesmiths]

Love it.

Bit like Alan Partridge's 'sports desk'.

[NUTTER1234567890123]

LOL at the young Dougie Donnelley

[MegaTrainspotter]

How come sport scene get all the big gigs? The draw for the world indoor bowls......hahaha

[Zenon222]

January 12th 1980 this editiion dates from according to the 3-2 result and the mention of Aberdeen's defeat to Morton the week before.

[greenhill1969]

Aberdeen lost to the

Famous. Greenock Morton the week before

[MegaTrainspotter]

remarkable entries....but wrong? mmm.

[MegaTrainspotter]

scottish football was really guff back then? Nothing changed then?

[thedprp]

@MegaTrainspotter Aberdeen Cup Winners' Cup winners in 1983, Dundee United semi-finalists in the European Cup in 1984 and UEFA Cup finalists in 1987.

The national team qualified for the World Cups in 1982 and 1986.

Couldn't have been that bad, young man.

[MegaTrainspotter]

This is how you waffle your way out of trouble...........Well done arch......

[royallen0]

Scottish TV summed up in this clip.

[MegaTrainspotter]

'sent The purist home raving' you don't hear that everyday...lol

[MegaTrainspotter]

can we? no we cant.............

[craigyjac]

Ha Dougie's a stoater

[colsh1690]

i miss big archie's commentary he was the best, as for bowls what an overated sport that is anybody could become good at that game.

[Rexel2828]

Oooh, the indoor bowls wold cup.

[ThefightingCelt]

Both Dougie and Archie hid their Rangers allegiances well back then, did they not ?!

[Zenon222]

Archie will have been around 43 when this was recorded yet he looks 70!

[Zenon222]

@Zenon222

[sinister066]

archie has had his day. its high time that peter martin was upgraded from radio to mainstream tv...the man is electric no matter wot team is playing.

[faddy24]

Jesus, 30 years ago already!!? This takes me right back to my teen years back in Irvine. Life was grim but somehow seemed more real. And what a double act, old brillo pad head, a smooth operator and the fresh faced Dougie Donnelly, who oddly enough is a bit of a brillo pad head himself these day. Ah, nostalgia.

[GordonMorrice]

I think that the director of the show is actually shouting someone else to "get me a game, any Scottish game!" not at Archie. But it's bizarre to see him pick up a phone live on air as if he's about to call Ronald Regan or something! Alan Partridge indeed, Toracube! Liquid football!

[AberdeenFC]

Sounded like the boy was ragin on the other end of the phone!

[theMacvarish]

Know a bit about sport and you've got mad hair; ok you start on saturday. I can remember Archie being 'welcomed' at Parkhead with chants of "Brillo pad". Ah, those were the days.............

[LadyMezzo]

On a par with the 90s for worst Sportscene theme ever. Oh - and Dougie Donnelly's hair should have had its own billing.... absolutely shocking

[stewbhoy1980]

Archie was the consumate professional - despite the embarrasment

[langdale55]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the producer going Tonto down the phone - Archie you deserve a medal for working throught the abuse!! Saturday night Sportscene: Television Gold!

[wellfan1991]

how exciting was sportscene then the live draw for the indoor bowls lol

[kilbraur]

Archie was the man who introduced the incorrect definition of "decimated" to the Scottish public. Even today BBC Scotland commentators still use it incorrectly.

[fritzybaby1]

What the fuck is going on with that Dougie Donnely barnet!

[MrAguafiesta]

@fritzybaby1 and he still sports a cracking barnet but aint seen him in a while

[neutralnothing]

its a tantalising one...whooooooooo over the bar.........!!!! archie the legend !!!!

[09876543217028]

wooooooooooooooooooooooosh swept away.

[09876543217028]

paul mitchell also sounds like kermit the frog.

[rotorking]

Yes agree with that. The new guard of commentators cant touch archie with a barge pole.

[09876543217028]

david currie sounds like kermit the frog or is it him?

[Kinlochbervie50]

"certainly my family never got it right" - how the f'k did we let them off with cheesy lines like that back in the day??

[MajicTV]

A million miles better that Craig Paterson.

The bbcAlba fellas are better than the current bbc Scotland folk.

Sack the lot of them.

[dmpcornwall]

Archie McPherson was the man!

[RICHTAYL]

WHOOOOFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! :o)

[markypearson01]

I heard Archie interviewed about this recently, and he said actually the producer wasn't going mad at him, he was complaining about the technical guys......hmmmm 20 years to think up an excuse?? hahahaha!!

[bubbasawyer666]

Brilliant! What the hell did Archie make his hair with? Play-doh? Dougie 'Howser' Donnelly's is hilarious as well, he looks like he's just been electrocuted! And he looks about 12! Bet he couldn't even buy his own fags back then...

[BillDFC]

I still miss Arthur montford's sport jacket.

[chookter1]

I see someone got their 'o' level in tv editing

[coley10000]

fucking quality,the producer on the phone's going bananas.superb

[TheLacatush]

My god Dougie you wouldn't get into sterling with hair like that. Or glens, robertson, hutchinson or stepeck.

[sinister066]

@TheLacatush at least he knew what colour it was then..lol.

[cjfrfc]

check dougies alf garnet !

[PhilM3t4l]

Wow. Dougie Donnelly is really young there! Does anyone know if it's true that he was once suspended for saying "He fucking missed it!" in a live commentary?

[StuartGreenock]

dougy donnolly:))

[Greg2cool]

Lol, why is their a phone on the desk anyway.

[Toracube]

Better than Alan Partridge even!! LOL

[cajjer]

[123strauss]

[lalinejad]

[jonbob100]

classic trumpet trousers presenting. miss old archie! good to see dougie has trimmed his dog since then

[dymond9999]

Doogly Donnelly, big hair even bigger lapels they must have gave those jackets away free with every Sterling three piece suite at that time.

[jonbob100]

..a man who has munched 1 too many carpets..

1:12 must be the saddest skill in sport to possess, only a sad fellow bowler can understand being exited about that.

[TheMiura]

lmao what the hell is on dougie's head!?

[connor1874]

i luv dougie but he looks like a hobo in this

[abertic]

Dougie 10 jobs

[billybop65]

Yes! I see,I see, Hahahahaha! this is brilliant.

[philevans1986]

Yes what was that on Dougie's head, it is a bit intriguing!

[arabicred]

Look at the state of Dougie! hahaha

[indyandsam]

All this clip does is make me realise how utterly shitey boring football is now

[LiamGreenhorn]

Thats 1980 and he looks about 70 year old. Jesus man, he must be about 100.

[stephenm6100]
