Jamie_B Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Only heard two or three minutes in the car there but it was VAR chat with Callum Davidson, followed by reports of chances at two games and a goal at another, before some clown interjected with more VAR chat before we'd even heard about the actual incidents in the actual ongoing games. Garbage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they've always had a big share of the coverage, but it used to generally be the case that the commentary game would be the most interesting game of the weekend. If nothing stood out, you'd generally get whatever OF side was away on a Saturday, but it wasn't the default. Now we're at the point where there's no point in wondering what the commentary will be. It's actually laughable. Hard as it is to imagine, TV, radio and news coverage all used to attempt to cover more than two teams (and the game was much better for it). Here's an example from 1990: Celtic beat Rangers 1-0 and knock them out the Scottish Cup. The back page of the Daily Record the next day was... Aberdeen getting a tough draw for the next round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Macintyre has a habit of asking leading questions about his favourites, today it was: "Rangers absolutely cruising now, Derek?" He was told: "No, I wouldn't say that." He did the same thing when they won 1-0 at Tynecastle recently. It's just odd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just handed an old scrapbook of mine to the Falkirk Football Heritage guys, and leafing through it beforehand, it was brutally apparent how little the printed press cared about how a wee team like Falkirk was doing in the Premier Division. (Don't even ask about lower league coverage back then). No team lines, reports ENTIRELY about Rangers/Celtic/Hearts when they played Falkirk, and nonsense player names. I remember reading one match report the day after a game and the Falkirk scorer was named as Kenny Kennedy. "Ooh, a new striker! Excellent" I thought, only to find out it was referring to Ken Eadie. Ian Wood was the worst - a complete tosser of a snob, who would file entire match "reports" about (real example) Graeme Souness falling out with Graham Roberts, or Hearts. Not Graeme Souness falling out with Hearts. Just Hearts, in general. Back in the 60s (and 70s) - as I recall it - every league game in Scotland was covered by a report in the Sunday Post. (And probably other papers.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously weren’t one of the bigger teams but got good coverage in all the papers when we were in the old first division 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
