Also noticed this in the match report 🙄 I noticed that earlier. Think they are referring to Craig Gordon as a fellow Scotland keeper but badly written.

tian447 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Up until this week, they still had the league sponsor on the table as the Ladbrokes Premier League. They totally don't give a single shit about the game up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirwalter Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Both on-line and in Chic's radio bulletins the BBC repeatedly inform us that if Hibs hold on they will join Hearts at the top of the table but if they score again they will occupy top spot alone!

Yes, but it's the slant that they (in this case Chic) put on it. It's kin of transparent, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't perceive a certain inconsistency there? Either statement can be interpreted as correct but one doesn't expect to find both contained within a single observation. Careless at best.

No, 1 point they are level with us, 3 points they are above us. Simple arithmetic and an accurate statement of fact. Too many people looking for conspiracies when there are none (in this case).

part_time_jambo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Ok, rewind. Apologies for my incorrect assumption that they were 1 point behind us. The Chic statement must have been made when they were winning, in which case we were level on points. Life is too short for me to go back and work out the permutations for both teams at that time, but assuming Chic's "simple arithmetic" was correct, then I guess a 1 goal win would have had us level level on GD, and a 2 goal win would have them above us on GD. Anyway, it's all academic. They're sh!!!, they lost, we're above them, happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverforgetfiveone Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 9 hours ago, assessor said: Listened to last 40 mins or so of Sportsound on radio, total avoidance of talking about Hearts going top, A 5 min interview with Craig Gordon near end of programme briefly mentioned the win and us going top, next 4 and a half was all questions about up coming Scotland games. They all really don't like Hearts at the BBC Just let them get on with it… we just need to keep doing the business. Best to stay out of the limelight, under the radar… **** the Beeb and the press… We are flying and we know it! That’s what counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking sloppy journalism which fails to give Hearts the full credit they deserve. Clearly you also haven't mastered how goal difference or simple arithmetic or both work but at least you aren't being paid to get it right - I assume.

Admittedly I had given it a lot of thought concluding that my preferred outcome was Hearts and Hibs both to win but our boys by a greater margin. It very nearly came to pass but the actual outcome was more than acceptable. Ryan Porteous appears not to be the Easter Road messiah: he's just a very silly boy!
