The Master Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 9 hours ago, Scary Bear said: Serious question: who is the man, or woman, responsible for the sport content on Radio Scotland? I do pay my licence fee and feel I need to at least register my lack of support for the various shit presenters (Gordon being the exception). Evidently it's someone call Ken MacQuarrie who is in cherge of BBC Scotland, but who is the worthless, no-mark who is in charge of the present shambles on Sportsound? I had a spare couple of minutes. Unfortunately you can't just slate the entire format, you have to pick a one-off show. Much good it'll do me. Complaint description There is too much coverage of Celtic and Rangers football clubs on BBC Scotland. It's a disgrace and it's been going on for years. BBC Scotland must be the most backward part of the BBC. Sportsound, on BBC Radio Scotland, is like some sort of '80s throwback. Listen to the show from 8th September. This is a good example of the amateurish format, but really you could take your pick of any Sportsound programme. Sportsound is a complete shambles. The glue holding the sport content on Radio Scotland together is Richard Gordon. Apart from him it's an omnishambles. Scotland deserves better than this and someone should be held accountable. Who is in charge of recruiting talent? He should be the first to go. Derek Ferguson, Chick Young, Wullie Miller and the likes are complete buffoons. Sort it You'll get a stock response about "catering to the audience" and "responding to feedback". Your comments will also be recorded on the "audience log" (aka the bin). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad thing for the BBC given they've doted on him so far with special features, player cams and even a dedicated live text feature. On the other hand it's a good thing for the BBC as they can spend most of the week talking about it, while also ensuring they spend most of the rest of the time talking about Celtic for balance, and avoid bothering with anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I heard that. Burst out laughing. It was Barry Ferguson. Listening to him is like listening to one of those Haribo adverts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 This would be a fantastic opportunity for someone to say "I think Barton has seriously underestimated the standard of football in scotland" or something similar. Its the truth and it's also positive about Scottish football so absolutely no chance we will hear it. Exactly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 They have said that before Sure it was on last weeks podcast, I remember listening to it on my way to Edinburgh last Tuesday, Ferguson I think and definitely Wilson were having a go saying similar It is funny they've done a minute by minute etc of him just a few weeks ago though, if he doesn't play again he'll go down as the biggest dud in the history of the game after the hype that he gave himself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Stunning insight into Barry Fergusons life as a manager. Top quality radio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It has been an amusing little chapter. From the ridiculous BBC minute by minute coverage, to his poor performances overall, to his pre OF game posturing about Brown, to this latest grotty wee episode, it's been laughable. In ten years time he'll be remembered in Scotland simply as a figure for ridicule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would also mean mentioning it was the best in Scotland and therefore better than their beloved bigots. Can't have that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect a few championship clubs too, and hibs will also be in that pot this season going on recent attendances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Hearts were above 10 of 24 Championship clubs, but Aberdeen only above 4. EDIT: Both were also above Bournemouth in EPL. It may be inspired by the idea that SPFL Premiership clubs can only compete financially with FL2 clubs for players but of course there's more to it than that... Some players choose to come up here as they see an opportunity to put themselves in the "shop window", or they want to play in Europe or compete for trophies. English clubs often pay above-the-odds as players/agents demand more. Even if you dropped them into the Football League with their current squads, I'd be astonished if Hearts and Aberdeen didn't rise beyond FL2.

yoda Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'd be surprised if most Premiership sides didn't get promoted from League Two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Lots of big clubs in England top to bottom, lot of good clubs in England with a lot of good players top to bottom too, wouldn't write them off but also wouldn't put our own clubs down No shame in a club like County or whatever not being as good as a Portsmouth or whatever on the pitchCoincidentally though I'm sure Plymouth had a great season last year with guys like Graham Carey and Gregg Wylde as their star players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
