TheScarf Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 In the 20 minute journey with the faither through to Nairn v Drumchapel United yesterday, Neil McCann spent about 12 of those trying to convince the rest that Rangers were a match for Celtic, and he still couldn’t manage it. Then he started going off on a tangent about the ‘youngsters they’ve signed’, he of course couldn’t name any of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylish Kid Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Levein (who I generally have time for!) states he's not seen much of Motherwelll this season... Now it might have been "in the flesh", which is slightly different than simply not doing homework. However it made me think again that the BBC pundits just get to go and see their favourites.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein covered Saintees vs County yesterday purely because he was at Jeanfield vs Brechin at 12:30pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Aye Levein will be at Brechin games on a Saturday. You can cut him some slack imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Yeah, I've got some sympathies with logistics. It's more that Levein always does Hearts, Preston always does St J/Hearts (I think?!), and Bonnar, especially Bonnar does nothing but Celtic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is pundits like Miller and Bonnar actually do some proper research about sides that aren't Aberdeen and Celtic... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil McCann now the Rangers gig. Preston/Stewart does more Hearts/Hibs home games than anyone else or Brian McGlaughlin is covering the game. Craigan Motherwell. We used to have McManus but he got kicked off Robbo was decent when he done the Hearts or Highlands games (almost a Rabbie Burns poem there). Bonnar is a complete buffoon though that doesn't even seem to have a clue about Celtic let alone any of the opposition but that now is the way the show is pandered. Thing is both OF teams still think they have anti-agendas against them both and call for boycotts. Absolute farcical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it definitely is happening, not just in Scotland. It's becoming far more ex-player led, and I don't think that's a good thing. Steven Thompson has been accelerated quickly into the Gary Lineker role - now he's got the Saturday Sportscene gig. I think he's a good pundit, but not a presenter. I'm glad that at least the Beeb have seen sense not to keep Scott McDonald or Leanne Crichton as presenters though. Down South, Alex Scott (who's actually decent) and Jermaine Jenas (ffs) have been pushed into the same roles on FF and MOTD2. Jonathan Sutherland who is pretty good by all accounts has been shifted into the Sunday role and most Friday games and does feel like the last of the journalists turn presenters at the BBC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Mac has just taken over main anchor so all is not gone. Thompson has actually said on numerous occasions he doesn't even like football anymore. Scott McDonald and Kenny Miller would be in the studio every week if it wasn't for him moving back home. The worst was having Simon Donnelly and Kenny Miller both covering the Celtic Rangers game talking shite then they turn up in the studio too. I'm not completely against old pros as I like Mikey Stewart and Pat Nevin, even can tolerate Derek Ferguson but the main problem for me now is they all seem to be coming in because of old firm background instead of getting people in who are enthusiastic and want to talk all things Scottish Football. - Get Tom English in the bin now too while we are at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Celtic would complain theres not an Irish former player doing punditry for them so he's there until McGeady gets shoehorned in the next year or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you want impartial pundits, not fans of one of the clubs and/or agents representing a bunch of the players they're talking about. If you don't know enough about every single Premiership club to be able to cover their game, you've got absolutely no place on the prime BBC show. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
