sjc Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Not sure if the BBC can be held accountable for the photographer but why the f**k would you face the only undeveloped side of the ground in a match with the three other sides virtually sold out?! No wonder we struggle to sell the game when a season openner between two of the Championships fancied teams played in front of a near capacity crowd is made to look like its being played down a local park! Falkirk 1-2 Hibernian By Kenny Crawford BBC Sport Scotland at the Falkirk Stadium From the section Football Jason Cummings scored twice at the Falkirk Stadium In-demand Hibernian striker Jason Cummings scored twice against Falkirk to get Neil Lennon's domestic tenure as head coach off to a winning start. Fresh from being subject to a declined £1.2m bid from Peterborough United, Cummings pounced in the six-yard box to give Hibs an early lead. That was quickly cancelled out by Craig Sibbald's tremendous 25-yard strike. But Cummings thrashed the ball high into the net straight after half-time to ensure Hibs took all three points. That clinical brace may add a few more pounds to the price tag of 21-year-old Cummings, especially when it came against a team many fancy to be one of Hibs' main challengers for the Championship title this season. Lennon joked before the game that if Cummings did not play well against Falkirk, he would drive him all the way to Peterborough. On this performance, there will be no need for the new Hibs boss to fetch his car keys just yet. Cummings started and finished the opening goal; first playing through James Keatings and having the desire to be in the right place at the right time when Falkirk goalkeeper Danny Rogers parried Keatings' low drive. The away support were boisterous and large in number, though silenced somewhat when a left-foot pearler by Sibbald scorched past Ross Laidlaw and into the top right corner to mark the midfielder's 200th appearance for the Bairns. Apart from Bob McHugh going close for the hosts, scrappiness was king in the rest of the opening half but Cummings once again lit up proceedings soon after the break. Lennon likes the quality and experience of new signing Grant Holt - formerly of Norwich and Wigan - and it was the Englishman who lofted the assist on this occasion. Cummings controlled and held off the attentions of David McCracken before lashing what turned out to be the winner into the top near corner. McHugh perhaps had the Bairns' best chances of another leveller; one of his efforts cleared off the line by Hibs captain David Gray and another shot from the right side of the box flashing narrowly over Laidlaw's crossbar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland's most disgraceful broadcaster reports on Scotland's most disgraceful player playing for Scotland's most disgraceful club in Scotland's most disgraceful piece of journalism.

Surely you accept that the BBC parrot the line that Scottish football revolves around the Old Firm and all other clubs are dependent on them? If not, can you explain articles like this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36925631 Didn't see a similar feature when Hearts were promoted. On Andy Walker, remember Scotsport when they would do 'Walker's Watch'? One of the games would be selected for special analysis by Walker, with that game often not getting a conventional highlights package with commentary at all. Sometimes they wouldn't even show the goals - just whatever clips Walker decided were worth talking about. There was one Dundee United game where they just showed five minutes of Jim McIntyre flicking headers on.

He's an absolute no-mark, clogger who has achieved next to nothing in the game. An English journeyman who has played for a series of joke clubs with the exception of a short loan spell with Marseille. He'll only ever be remembered for stubbing a cigar out on a young players' eye and for being a pseudo-intellectual p***k. f**k off Barton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His one and only appearance on QT blew the intellectual act out the water.

HibeeJibee Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 From the hype and fawning coverage you'd think he's an international superstar of some kind. He achieved 1 England cap, never won a top-level league/cup, and never even played in the Champions League (indeed he only seems to have played in UEFA Cup/EL 10 times). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Indeed. There's a reason he always ends up in the English Championship. The **** on here go on about some BBC boycott of Rangers. It just doesn't exist. They and the Record are the two worst culprits for the collective Rangers hard on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) I'm amazed that anyone (other than himself) considered Joey "Joseph" Barton to be, at the peak of his career, anything other than a distinctly average midtable to lower-end Premier League player, filed alongside the likes of Gavin McCann and Lee Bowyer. Still he successfully reinvented himself on Twitter a few years ago so that's something. I guess. Edited August 7, 2016 by yoda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
