Helpma Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Radio Scotland's sports round up this morning tells us it's between Motherwell, Hamilton and Caley Thistle for the play-off spot. That must come as a welcome relief for Dundee fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 See the papers are in full on unsettling mode with pretty much the entire Aberdeen squad today. I take it they're playing Rangers this week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best times are when a team might ordinarily be caught by two teams below them (i.e. the points gap to both is within 3x the number of games left), but because the teams play each other it's impossible for both to overtake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how Keith Jackson can be seen as the best journalist in the country. He can't write, for one thing. He's also an obnoxious troll on social media, and his broadcast views are a string of meaningless cliches. I do notice that Graham Spiers and Tom English both tweeted their congratulations, seemingly straight faced.

7-2 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 When Saints marched to Hampden gloryTen years ago, Steven Thompson was attending his first match as a St Mirren fan when the team travelled to Hampden to face Dundee United in the 1987 Scottish Cup final. One hundred and 20 minutes - and an "iconic" Ian Ferguson goal - later, the Paisley side lifted the Scottish Cup. 2017 - 1987 = 10. From the BBC website,surprise surprise, and repeated on two pages. Yet again, basic stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 On the 'Scope' thing, I think they believe there is a market for sort of long form journalism for the Old Firm masses. A sort of Old Firm 'Tell Him He's Pelé' if you will.The thing is, whilst some Old Firm fans would be interested in that, the vast majority are relatively casual, and only support the team because either: The win lots, or they identify with a religion, and are therefore quite happy to read Daily Record Exclusives about the signing of Robin Van Persie, and some diddy former player slagging off the other side. When you think about how petty the rivarly can be I can't see it being a success. Use the words Old Firm and you alienate the Celtic nutters, criticise something to do with Rangers and you alienate their nutters.Be interesting to see if it takes off, but I strongly doubt it in such a saturated and freely available market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not journalism as such, but someone at Inverness Caley doesn't understand the meaning of "in our own hands". Much like the Motherwell twitter feed, the ICT official account is just a fan with a blue tick, and the results are often laughably biased and/or inept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This article has a fair few decent lines - http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/opinion/sport/scottish-game-needs-over-itself-10442259 "Part-time football is a prime example. It’s almost a dirty word in Scottish - and British - football. It’s up there with leprosy. The way it’s viewed we should be making some sides wear bells on the pitch." "We’re going to have to face facts, we are fast approaching the stage where players are going to realise it’s just not feasible to have football as their main job in Scotland if you are playing outside the top 14 or 15 clubs" It's not a horrendous article overall but the leprosy comment made me chuckle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
