It’s written like the journalist intended to write a few issues for each match and then ran out of time or couldn’t be bothered researching a couple of facts about Ross County v Hearts or Aberdeen v St Johnstone. Both games are at least as interesting as Hibs v St Mirren. Strangely written and edited piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 It’s likely that his crayons just ran out or he decided to play with his train set. Tom English aside it’s a joke. Have to say thanks though as the game is on BBC Alba from 6pm so as I won’t go there or give them PPV money , it’s great I will be able to avoid sportsound and all and watch the game courtesy of BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish football is a joke and the people who run and report on it are cretins. From our "Strategic View" document... "...2. SPFL Brand The SPFL is one the most exciting leagues in Europe," Ya gotta wonder which cretin wrote that, I stopped reading at that very point. If it was indeed "one of the most exciting leagues in Europe" then the same institution that has won it for the last 40 years wouldn't have. What DVB says here is of absolute truth, Scottish football is a joke, run by cretins who think we are cretins because they think they can make statements like that and get away with it...but I suppose they do get away with, that means, I suppose we are cretins because we let the *****s get away with it. Aided and abetted by the masters of misinformation and bias, the GBC of course. Why did the GBC become a propaganda machine for the OF? Because we let it.

dave1964 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Especially during the week when Henry McLeish suggested Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen, Dundee & Dundee Utd were acting out of self interest by not including the Ugly Sisters in their review. The reason they are not included is because of financial impartiality, as well as the favourable coverage they get from the broadcasters.

So did we but no mention of that from these knobends. Not just the BBC, on the day of the derby last week, Sky Sports news update on the main Sky News channel said: Hibs have the chance to go top if they beat city rivals Hearts in the Edinburgh derby today.......no mention whatsoever that we could have went top as well. Then after the game it was: Hibs maintain their unbeaten start to the season with a draw blah blah blah........again no mention that we also maintained our unbeaten start to the season. But I suppose it's better that we aren't in the news, because it seems the media only ever mention us when it's bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got more to do with media outlets employing 12 year olds ... with nae proper sub-editing to boot!

Not how it used to mean, to me anyhow - someone who loves football, especially the national team, and gets a bit excited at times eg if Scotland win - but genuine "[insert name of club journalist supports] fan with typewriter". I started noticing it when Romanov arrived. You'd read a Hearts match report and it wouldn't be a report at all, it would be a sports reporter turning into a columnist and writing an opinion piece disguised as a report. Sometimes you'd have no clue about what actually happened during the game. Gone are the days of descriptive reports that try to bring the game to life after the event and report what happened.

I'm not being in the least bit patronising; merely alluding to an acute satirical observation from one of the very best scripted radio comedies ever. Your comparison above is equally valid. 😄 Meanwhile, someone somewhere who possibly doesn't give two hoots about the OF has done Sky's Team of the Week. Nae The Rangers, or Celtic, or Hibs; and, although it is not definitive and hence open to debate, at least that person spotted our man Boyce as being a stand out. https://www-skysports-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/12412901/scottish-premiership-team-of-the-week-celtic-and-rangers-miss-out-as-hearts-dundee-united-and-st-mirren-feature?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16322018213912&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.skysports.com%2Ffootball%2Fnews%2F11095%2F12412901%2Fscottish-premiership-team-of-the-week-celtic-and-rangers-miss-out-as-hearts-dundee-united-and-st-mirren-feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
