sniffer Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Two cup semi finals, two 3-0 results but the highlights and discussion around one match this evening lasted twice as long as the other. Guess which one? Now I know that the first half of the Hearts v ICT game was pretty dire but does the BBC even bother disguising its West coast bias anymore?

In the unlikely event we stun them and win you know the topic on sportsound, sportscene and just bbc scotland in general will just be about what went wrong with celtic. Thats the way it is in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzyonthefence Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Shocked they mentioned the sectarian abuse at McInnes and you could feel them squirming with embarrassment at having to do so. If it wasn’t for McInnes’s reaction and red card, however, it wouldn’t even have got a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I hope it's possible for these media "neutrals" to discuss the final without even mentioning us. I really wish their idols could play in England or Latvia or anywhere except Scotland. We've suffered their hideous behaviour for long enough. As an aside, I see McInnes was sent off because of his reaction to sectarian abuse. Didn't any officials hear that abuse and report it or does McInnes have special ears? It's all just so wearisome. Nothing ever changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Eleven sports gets first pick, the bbc was always going to show our game live the way the draw fell. It was right on this occasion that they gave yesterday's game more time. It's always interesting to watch Stewart try his hardest to give hearts as few compliments as he possibly can and try to hold in the dislike he has for Levein.

Aberdeen fans are being investigated for sectarian singing aimed at Steven Gerrard last month at Ibrox, this was mcinnes’s way of highlighting the sectarian signing aimed at him. I thought that he was trying to get Craig Thomson over to speak to him and get him to mention it in his report but Thomson sent him off without getting within 20 yards of McInnes, in his after match interview mcinnes said that he has heard the singing “a hundred times before and never reacted” so why react now, because it has to now be dealt with.

Players are being encouraged to leave the pitch if they are subjected to racial abuse. Managers and players get sent off if they react to sectarian abuse.

Super_Hans Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Just watched the highlights. How 'Thommo' can say Mularaney got the last touch from that clip is laughable. At least he disagreed with Stewart saying they're could have been an offside at the penalty. The only guy in the whole stadium who thought Ikpeazu was offside. Also, noticed in the BBC live website feed, Thommo using the long ball to Ikpeazu line to describe us in the first half. We might have launched it a couple of times but it was my no means our only tactic with Mulraney being our main outlet. Just a lazy, lazy line A couple of absolute roasters.

It was unfortunate but I can't work out what rule the guy's meant to have broken that meant it was a foul, let alone a yellow card. He tried to play the ball and he didn't act dangerously, it was just bad luck. As far as I could tell he got sent off because a Celtic player got hurt, not because he committed a foul.

I thought similar at first, but, it was a late challenge. And if they had both gone into a tackle with feet and he'd been late like that it would have been a yellow (at least) whether he meant to foul him or not.

I'm not so sure, this was a 50/50, not a tackle on a guy in possession so whoever didn't win the ball would be late by that definition. He wasn't out of control, he didn't lead with studs, he was just beaten to the ball in a genuine competitive moment IMO. I think it was just one of those unfortunate things that happen in a physical game. I actually got knocked out in a similar incident in my younger days, the guy was distraught but everyone assured him it was just one of those things. Of course, back then I played on in a daze and got taken into hospital later, most irritating night of my life even though I only vaguely remember it.
