Savage Henry Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) I don’t listen to this shite often, but Willie Miller complaining about the “worst pitch inspection” he’d ever seen, before saying the referee was “absolutely right” made me laugh. He hasn’t improved in the best part of 30 years in the job. Edited December 23, 2023 by Savage Henry 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Same. BBC Pravda is a truly pathetic excuse for a station. Deliberately so, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Liam MacLeod is better at giving lower league updates than Macintyre, even while he's commentating on a game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afc69 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Some of you will be aware that Richard Gordon wrote a brilliant piece in his Press & Journal Saturday column 3 weeks ago, basically stating there is bias, whether intentional or not, when it comes to Rangers not having conceded a penalty since Jesus was a baby. It took the West coast a week or so to pick up on it but since they did, Richard has been absent from both the Sunday and midweek Sportscene. Coincidence? We all knows what happens to folk that criticise the glorious rrrrrrrrrrrangerssssszzzzzzzz Jim Spence. Michael Stewart 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t present last week’s League Cup Final, but you’d expect the new lead presenter to anchor that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was taken off the BBC for a period of time as “punishment” for having the “nerve” to say what he thought about The Rangers. They’re vermin & a cancer on society. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying that the powers at be at rANJurS hadn’t contacted the BBC by Dec 15th but possible have since, which explains Richard’s absence last Sunday and midweek. We will find out tomorrow if my theory is correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that, are we really saying that an infringement has not occurred in the Sevco penalty box, perpetrated by a Sevco player, for 75 matches or whatever it is, and for the 44 matches preceding that? Unlikely, innit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Please see picture evidence in other threads where Sevco players tug jerseys in the box but no action is taken, in total contrast to the OUTRAGE of staunch Sevcoites being FORCED to dive like dolphins when their jerseys are lightly brushed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 As soon as there’s an implication of conspiracy or partisan refereeing then it makes it easy for OF fans to dismiss all of this. The idea that we’re refereed to a different standard due to the added pressures and different environment of refereeing at parkhead and ibrox is perfectly plausible and makes a lot of sense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Would anyone be surprised if the commentary game on Wednesday night was Rangers v Ross County? In years gone by, unthinkable. Sportsound 2023, thinkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
