Savage Henry Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 STV's football section really is overblown, laddish banter masquerading as tactical analysis. What happened to the days of match reports and interviews? Now we have that halfwit Ruthenven banging on about wine gums. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jonathan Wilson has a lot to answer for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to be doing reports that actually follow what happens during a game but instead break it down into subsections and then pick out moments from a match that fit under these subsections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Half of the match reports are almost unreadable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I'm glad they pointed that out tbf There are so many Lescotts out there that I may have thought it was the former Everton defender, the ex-England internationalist or the former Aston Villa captain that they were talking about.

I notice this piece of 'news' has barely registered in England where, you know, he actually played for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Hardly worthy of a mention in the main website but it has to have it's own feature in the Rangers Int AGM Special website they set up BBC 'Scotland' site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Looks like the BBC can't even be arsed to show a live "as it stands" table in Scotland anymore. Add that into the fact they no longer do match reports for the bottom two divisions, and its all becoming a bit of a fucking joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the "Scottish football live" section up, and you usually get the table by the side, couldn't see it this time. Don't know if it was visible on mobile though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Disgraceful. No team has won at Fortress Tannadice this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I've found that the tables can be different depending on which page you're on which is quite remarkable considering it would obviously be easier to just replicate the same one. I don't suppose whichever Oxbridge intern that set it up would have actually studied anything as lowly as computers though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The bbc online report on the Hearts v Motherwell game has Motherwell coming off back to back wins and having no shots on target even though 3 of the 4 goal line clearances are covered in the report. Maybe 3 headers and a chip do not count as shots? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
