avhudtheteeshirt Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The latest highlights of yesterdays games are on the BBC website. Premiership Aberdeen V St Johnstone = 4:40 mins Partick V Dundee Utd = 2:25 mins Dundee V Motherwell =2:31 mins Hearts V Killie = 0:58 secs Championship Rangers V Falkirk = 4:47mins When is Scottish football going to wake up and tell them to do one, as it is downright embarrassing I don't think I've ever seen highlights coverage of a game for 0:58 seconds? And for the 1 game in the championship to get nearly the same time as the combined 3 Premiership games is absolutely humiliating to say the least!!!!

Terry Tate Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 STV has a (slightly) better 2 minute highlight selection that at least shows Sam's flick (although not the cut back when he was one on one) http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/1330073-see-conrad-balatoni-net-an-equaliser-for-kilmarnock-against-hearts/ .

adayinmay Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 BBC Scotland are an utter embarrassment, not just for football coverage. The coverage of our game and how it is presented is something that will and should encourage people to take part in playing and attending. How is the sport going to thrive if that is how the national broadcaster presents it? SPFL should take equal responsibility in how their game is shown and presented to the world. Tragic.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I thought with us having the biggest crowd of the day it would have been in their interests to show a full stadium for a longer period, some of the crowds like the ones at Dens Park and Fir Hill are embarrassing to view and do nothing to enhance the game. The Robbo bit was good but more embarrassment of Hibs would have been nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have said for years now that there are far too many at the BBC Scotland Sports with anti Hearts agendas! The place is swarming with ex Celtic pundits and of course Chicko who just hates us! The game on Saturday was a cracking game with great saves, good football and a huge amount of incidents and attempts on goal - cutting this to 58 seconds of highlights is following BBC policy of dissing Hearts at every opportunity.

Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Simple, just get everyone to contact them and explain they only watch BBC for the football highlights and the rest of the time its sky or virgin based channels and for this reason if there is no longer a worhtwhile show each week regarding the football and how each game is represented then you will now withold your licence money for the BBC as its pointles paying for a service you clearly do not get.

Francis Albert Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I thought after the game that, despite the disappointing outcome, it would make a great 5 minute highlights slot.

TexasAndy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 BBC is a dead duck. They're now losing The Open Golf which leaves them with very little top live sport.

They justify blanket coverage of the ugly sisters on the basis that more people are interested in them. Using that rationale, considering we pull in crowds roughly equivalent to one third of the OF, you'd think we'd get roughly one third of the coverage they do - fat chance!

westbow Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It's not as bad as it used to be if that's any defence. On the radio at least. Off the ball isn't OF centric. Richard Gordon ( whatever you think of him) isn't either, neither are Robbo, wullie Miller, Charlie Mann ( is he still there?) Alan Preston, Michael Stewart, etc. Pity about chic and murdo tho.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Market forces are still at play, and to be honest I find that hard to disagree with. No objection to Rangers getting 5 mins as there are an awful lot more people interested in them than us or any other non Glasgow club, regardless of league that is an unfortunate fact. What I would object to though is 58 secs highlights of the club sitting third. Surely a better effort could be made. Far too much chat on Sportscene and it is repetitive. Same shan chat every week, instead maybe we could have 2 games with 10 minutes and the other 4 with 5 minutes each. The magazine type report we had this week is good but not at the expense of cutting the highlights down to nothing. One positive, Alba does show two matches with old style extended highlights, the match selection though, seems to be mainly teams not doing so well. We really don't sell or market our game well. Most folk do use some sort of TV recording to watch their telly nowadays, but the timeslot is mince. What about 6pm on a Sunday night instead of 10.30, I know my kids would be more inclined to watch around about that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avhudtheteeshirt Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Just watched Scotland Today ( Edinburgh) and there was more highlights on a news clip than the BBC put out as match coverage. Showed a good save from Jamie Macdonald and the flick from Sammie plus the goals. The BBC should hang their heads in shame, it is an insult to Scottish Football outside Glasgow. What will they do if and when the Ugly Sisters finally get their wish to play in England? They will probably just ignore Scottish Football altogether!!!!!
