I very seldom listen to commentary much on Hearts games, and recently, it's been more Laurie Dunsire I've listened to which is enjoyable.

 

That on Sunday was ****ing horrendous though. He was waffling some stats off that were just completely wrong and the love in for Celtic was incredible. Even the 3 pundits in the studio, former Celtic manager, ex-Hearts player who for some reason ****ing hates us and now works for Celtic TV and Shelley Kerr, who's got **** all to do with either side, but in fairness, she actually was worth listening to. Very complimentary about a brave Hearts performance.

 

Thank **** I don't pay my TV licence.

Shelley Kerr is a Jambo but tried to be neutral. The others didnt.

[hearts00]

I would also say in all the years of Billy Dodds being on radio or TV I can’t think of one moment of good analysis or insight. 
 

 

[hearts00]

Was it just me or did he not give a stat about how only three times in the last three decades of cup finals has a team lost after scoring the first goal. He then went onto list them and forgot about Hearts in last year’s cup final! 
 

what an idiot.

Absolutely spot on. Switched over to the Man U v Leeds game right after ours & the difference in both analysis & insight were night & day. 

 

Dodds is like listening to bloke down the boozer talking about a game on the TV. Offers zero expertise whatsoever. If people want to know why Scottish football is so utterly gash then the fact this slavering nonentity has actually been involved at coaching at clubs in top level will tell them all.

Funnily enough I said during the game that the wee fud hadn't mentioned if Celtic were the first top level team to ship 3 goals to a lower level team in a cup final.

Maybe next year.

Thought he was bipolar. Never heard how a team that can be so, so bad but 10 mins later have turned into Barcelona. Thick, thick guy.

If I was Celtic minded I would have spent the last 20 minutes of the 90 blaming Edouard for Celtic not being comfortable.

 

He missed 3 good chances early second half and as often didn't look interested. 

 

It is what it is. Low expectations is a better approach.

"This is not the Celtic we know"

They were never behind in 120 plus minutes of football - why did he feel the need to keep repeating this ?

Everyone knows Celtic are pish this season and underperfoming. The need to repeat it 2000 times provide absolutely no insight whatsoever. 

 

Dodds is just dumb but McLeod is a wee arse licker. You can tell he's sucked up his whole life to get into that position. 

[Firefox]

he's the same any time he commentates on games involving the Mhanky Mhob, regardless of who they are playing. His laundry bill must be huge as the front of his boxers must be a right sticky mess every time they score!!

[plastic_bas]

I had issues with the commentary on Sunday but I am a Liam McLeod apologist generally. He at least tries to follow the Martin Tyler model of creating a deeper narrative to the game than often exists. His mistake on Saturday was failing to capitalise on the equally interesting take of Hearts refusing to lie down to the club who benefitted most from their expulsion last year. Celtic's collapse and Lennon's future was compelling and added to the drama watching at home, but he was far too repetitive.  

 

As a tv commentator, his job is to try and tell a story which he did. Surely none of us need someone to tell us that Kingsley has passed the ball to White when we've seen it with our own eyes. I personally never felt he was biased at any point. Actually Hearts winning would have given his commentary more weight.

 

Billy Dodds added nothing as usual but I think, in the age of long form football writing and podcasts, this sort of on-the-spot analysis is rarely done well. He is particularly useless and in the 'he crossed it and then he headed it' school of insight.

If you never thought he was biased at any point you watched a different game from me. 

 

I could practically smell Lennons last jobbie on his lips through my TV.

He was obsessed with the Celtic situation but not in the sense that he was desperate for them to win. He seemed to be reveling in the drama of their inevitable collapse. It was good TV from his point of view but he definitely over egged the pudding and it grated a fair bit.

"Bias is a disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing, usually in a way that is closed-minded,"

 

I've rarely ever listened to the guy previously (thankfully) but I thought his attitude towards all things Celtic on Sunday more than fits the criteria for "bias". 

He lacks maturity & balance , he's too excitable and he spoils the show with his schoolboy screaming. He's actually totally unlike Tyler (who I consider a total bore), who I used to like but now think is well past his use-by date - but it's all about opinions. 

 

I completely agree re Dodds - get him in the bin.

He was ecstatic with Celtic two ahead. Lost the plot when he realised it was game on. That is it . In a nutshell. As a neutral commentator, unacceptable. So much is said with tone of voice which that BBC knows well and good. We all heard his tone when things began to unravel and to finish by wondering what Hearts players would do with their medals after recovering from 2 nil and 2-3? ****ing extraordinary.

O'Neill was 100% spot on in regards to Stewart tho. 

 

He rips folk to bits but was very average as a player and has never managed. 

If Stewart could rein himself in he'd be OK but he's exactly what O'Neill said imo.

Good afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon I watched the Scottish Cup Final on BBC Scotland's Sportscene.
The whole programme was spoiled by the unnacceptable bias shown to Celtic by commentator Liam McLeod, and his co-commentator Billy Dodds.  A cup final should be a level playing field, with both teams receiving equal coverage, irrespective of their status and geographical location, but this was an embarrassment. For the whole commentary, McLeod focussed on Celtic, with Dodds following suit. It was like Hearts were a foreign team in a European tie, with Celtic being urged on to win the cup. There was scant reference to the differences in budget between the 2 sides, the fight that Hearts were showing in coming back twice,  and little evidence of any research being carried out on the Hearts playing squad. It was a completely Glasgow-centric commentary. Was that deliberate, was that what McLeod was encouraged to do by the production team or was that his own approach? Thousands of Hearts supporters will have muted the commentary, or watched the Premier Sports coverage.  The anger concerning the commentary is tangible, and you've further alienated a large number of football fans in the east. Bias towards Rangers and Celtic has always been present, but yesterday was obscene. Zero impartiality or respect, and for so many, it spoilt what was an incredible game to watch.  It won't do anything to encourage many folk to pay their licence fee. BBC Scotland's football coverage has not given clubs outwith Glasgow fair representation for as long as I can remember. Midweek Sportsound and Saturday Sportsound are unlistenable, with pundits/presenters who are not fit for purpose. It's an old boys network that needs to go if you want to be respected and taken seriously again. Is Liam McLeod and Billy Dodds the best you can do for our top games, is that our elite commentary team? If so, you really have a problem.

So the BBC are saying no bias was shown. That must be the most ridiculous answer ever to be issued by a public service broadcaster there to serve the football watching fraternity as a whole.

90% of the talk was about Celtic and how good they were but the tone was completely different when we were on top, even those with no attachment to Hearts surely could see that. Incredible!

It was summed up with Whites sublime piece of skill leading to our first goal, flick on pirouette thing leaving the Celtic defender for dead. "Good play from White" was the comment, I can only imagine the high pitched gushing had that been Christie.
