Eckauskas Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Is it just me who enjoys hearing the sound of supporters going mental after a goal? It's blatantly obvious that the feminine, nasal sounding **** doing the commentary of the game wasn't at the game, but is commentating on the highlights package Sky sent them. Just sums up how small time the highlights programme is for this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highlights are terrible, every game i see an incident i think mustmake the highlights and never does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I watched the BBC highlights of the OF game today and it seemed to me there was rather uneccessary coverage of the supporters celebrations at each goal. Or is this normal for 'the best derby in the world'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Sportscene round-up highlights are pish poor but then I remember a time when there was a fair chance of not seeing you team's highlights at all - so with that in mind, something is at least better than nothing. However, where they get it wrong is that the crowd noises, generally speaking, are completely snuffed out over the dubbed commentary and that makes less-than-full stadia seem even more desolate. As already mentioned, another thing Sportscene rarely get right is mixing a player's own personal celebration in with some good crowd shots. Hambone's ESPN upload shows a good angle of Ryan Stevenson celebrating with the Wheatfield Stand crowd in the background at the recent derby game. Typically, that was cut from Sportscene's Mickey Mouse highlights because a. they don't care about good football telly, b. it would never occur to them anyway and c. even if it did, they'd still cut it in order to squeeze in another shot of Ally McChoisty at Ibrox.

davieholt Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I know I keep banging on about this but I really cannot understand why the Beeb doesn't combine the Sky pictures with the radio commentary it already has for every SPL game ? The chat would be 'live' so any excitement in the voice would be genuine and it would get rid of that dead sound that dubbing introduces. Is it simply that the miserly toads don't have to pay the radio commentators any more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Brown is how a Scottish football commentator should sound. Liam McLeod's idea of a comment is to identify a player by his nationality. While there may not be a lot he can do about his voice, such lack of depth of analysis is very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sums up how small time the highlights programme is for this division. It annoys me as well. I remember it best summed up when we beat Hamilton 4-0 last season on the second game of the season. and first time Callum Elliot got the ball the commentator said "Callum Elliot, who on his day is one of the best strikers in the SPL." It is quite obvious he says that in knowledge that he scored two in the game and had a great game but is made to sound like great knowledge and prediction.
