Talk:Archie Macpherson

Untitled
The article fails to mention that person mentioned above was cantankerous and self important in his dealings with colleagues and support staff.

This didnt happen all the time, but it should be mentioned for balance.

Macpherson is described as having a "meagre" income as a teacher. AFAIK teachers were reasonably well paid in the 1960s.Oldmoggy (talk) 18:32, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Which show did he present?
According to other pages on this site Archie MacPherson presented Sportscene which aired on the BBC not Scotsport which aired on STV/ITV.

The first paragraph in the section "Modern Day" within the article on Archie MacPherson states:

"Archie also became famous for his appearances on STV's Scotsport, which aired highlights from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) on Monday nights during the football season, until its axe in 2008." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Macpherson

While the other pages state:

"Scotsport's main rival was the long-running BBC Scotland strand Sportscene, fronted by Archie Macpherson and then Dougie Donnelly."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotsport

and

"Previous Sportscene presenters include Rob MacLean, Alison Walker, Richard Gordon, Dougie Donnelly, Archie Macpherson, Gordon Hewitt, Hazel Irvine, Jill Douglas, Mark Souster and Jim Craig." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportscene

Which is accurate? Or did he present both? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.226.211 (talk) 13:09, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
