Russ1977 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 It was basically Celtic tv. Dodds and McLeod should be embarrassed about that today. Started during the line up when the only thing they mentioned about us was Gordon having 2 Scottish cup winners medals playing for Celtic. I’m pretty certain he won one with the team he was lining up for today but that wasn’t worth a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Horrible. I hate Scottish Football apart from Hearts. I don’t think they ever said what Hearts had to do to win. After each Hearts goal it was about what Celtic needed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 As Hearts attacked and scored to battle back, the commentary was lacking excitement and optimism for Hearts. Unbiased my arse.

They thought there was only three subs and it was only when Halliday went to LWB that Dodds realised we were playing 5 at the back. No mention of Naismitha first half chance, the same challenge was a clear foul to them but not us. No wonder the Dundee fans hate Dodds so much they were going to boycott the club if he returned. Rangers fans must hate him too. Like most BBC pundits they know little about today’s game. Shelley Kerr changed her tune saying we weren’t a Top league team down below then giving us praise.

martoon Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Posted it on two other threads but it's worth a third: an absolutely disgraceful, boak inducing commentary. Celtic, Celtic, Celtic all the way, regardless of what was happening, and, in between, repetitive, mindless stats. Silence is a TV commentator's friend. It wasn't radio. Martin O'Neill should also look up the word "brevity". Never heard such inane, pointless ramblings. Shelley Kerr and Michael Stewart, in contrast, made their points coherently and briefly. Glad I don't usually bother with Sportscene if that's typical. Old Firm adoring bawbags. Edited December 20, 2020 by martoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCW1976 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Despite my massive, gutting, frustration today, I still try to keep myself in check, ie., try to refrain from sour grapes. However, his commentary is brutal. Really brutal. He was hard for Celtic today. The BBC are falling off a cliff in Scotland. Richard Gordon, Willie Miller, etc., long ago reached the Bob Crampsie stakes. But anyway, back to Liam McLeod ... what an unfit commentator. Another one who professes all sorts of football knowledge, when I’d be surprised if they’d ever played football - beyond their home computers. Make sure he knows it when we’re back at Tynecastle!

H2 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The commentary was poor, BBC Scotland sports really need to look at themselves, and get a more intelligent commentating team. The commentating team probably don't even realise how biased they are, and that should concern the BBC. I though O'Neil, Kerr and Stewart were good.

bigcoll Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Here's the gist of what I wrote to BBC feedback Hello there I watched the football game Heart of Midlothian verses Celtic on BBC Scotland from my home in Newcastle upon Tyne and Celtic were expected to win. The commentators couldn't hide their support for Celtic who quickly went into a two zero lead, everything was a bout how great Celtic were. Hearts got it back to 2-2 and the commentators were almost choking with exasperation. Occasionally I had to turn the commentary off it was so embarrassing. Before the game started they mentioned the Hearts goalkeeper had won the Scottish cup with Celtic twice, which is true, no mention he had won it once previously with hearts, whenever Hearts got back into the game which was improbable, as they are a lower league team there was no mention of what Hearts could do to win the game , just endless discussions on what Celtic should do to win the game. Celtic went on to win the game, but endlessly it was about Celtic throughout. Please okay this commentary back it was so biased as to be embarrassing. The better team won, because it always does as the name of the game is to score more goals than the opposition. I am disgusted and exasperated at the level of bias towards one of Scotland's biggest teams, there was not even an attempt at impartiality. Can you please justify why the BBC was guilty of biased commentary. Kind Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
