Looks like Jim will be fronting the programme tonight.

Rather unfortunate that he fronts the rather amateurish radio adverts currently on an SRH station near you. They're so long and remind me of the ridiculous overdone trails ITV used to show in the 80s.

"Scotsport's back for a new season - 10 months of action" - yeah, but you won't be Jim...

Incidentally Antz, if you want to double the post count on this thread, just put: "John Leslie for Scotsport" in the title. Laughing This could be another one of my dodgy predictions, but I really can't see it - sounds like something his agent is putting forward to get his career back on track.

I think your getting mixed up with his brother Grant pcuk, he's currently being a right pain in the neck on Forth One! Sad However for the first time this morning, he talked about this very topic Wink , instead of having the usual chitchat when he comes on.

Nice one Grant! Smile

What do you mean by that? I'm slightly confused by that post.

What I was saying Antz was, that pcuk was referring to John Leslie on a local radio station, and I thought that he was getting mixed up with his soundalike brother - Grant Stott. He's on Forth One usually in the mornings, and he can be a right pain sometimes.

What was that bit about him mentioning "this topic"?

Was he referring to TV Forum as such, or just the speculation in general?

Why, if he wants "to get his career back on track" would he join STV - COME ON - even he is not that desparate!!!!!!!!!!

Bearing in mind that John Leslie worked at STV for a good few years.

Grant Stott (John Leslie's brother) maybe? Rolling Eyes

I've heard him mention it, every single blinking morning on Forth One! Sad He's wrote to STV and says he's volunteering for the job - I don't think he's got any chance, but it would be nice to see him back on the tv again. Wink

He would make an excellent replacement for Raman Smile , as personally Raman hasn't got much of a sense of humour Confused .

Has anyone got any news on whether a shortlist has been made, on who's going to replace Jim when he goes? Confused I wonder if Jim has anchored his last show? Rolling Eyes

This is turning into a sort Stilian Petrov kinda thing eh? The only difference is that Jim has decided to go, and STV have not prevented him from going! Smile

No news yet, sadly. I think we might hear something this week. Catch Scotsport tomorrow night at 10.45 to see if Jim is still with us. Very Happy
