And then the next update - Goal Ross County. Liam Boyce. 

 

No update on where he put it, sending Gordon the wrong way etc. Just comes across as huffy. 

That's always how the goal updates come when they first happen. They then update the report with a description of the goal.

This is another one of these "desperate to be offended" situations. Moaning about things like this ultimately detracts from genuine complaints. It's like the boy who cried wolf.

Fair enough then, I don't usually use the BBC updates as they are generally terrible

According to The Sun's "This Week" section, five years ago St Mirren and Dunfermline were involved "in a Love Street epic". Impressive, considering it was knocked down three years earlier.

A fight in the supermarket aisle?

Barry Ferguson is a columnist?

I shouldn't be surprised, but my faith on humanity has just taken another knock.



Not just any columnists. The best goddamn columnist in town. Show some damn respect and agree with Barry.

There we are then. Makes a bit more sense, but getting the name wrong (names that aren't anywhere near alike) is amateurish from the BBC.

Aye it's not even like its a Darren/Derek Young, Brad/Billy McKay/Mckay situation. Totally different names/players

Nothing on the BBC website about Hartley yet, even the Aberdeen Evening Express has an article up about it already.

That's a disgrace.

He's a former Celtic player.

"Ex Celt Hartley shockingly sacked from Dundee" will surely be the headline, or at least something similar.

Complete with Pat Bonner and, oh, Alex Smith complaining about how managers don't get long enough.

That's more like it.
