No Chris not "football supporters", in Scotland this is almost exclusively the fans of the two cheeks you are talking about. You know fine rightly that football in Scotland is only the two cheeks. The rest of us and our clubs are just lucky to be living in their world and sometimes mentioned as a footnote. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I'm assuming our game has been postponed? Europa League LIVE: Olympiakos v West Ham, Liverpool v Toulouse & Brighton v Ajax score & updates - Live - BBC Sport (And before anyone comments it also references the conference but not Aberdeen) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugna Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 A snapshot taken sometime during the second half. Great effort from those stuffy Czech Republic minnows to hold out to the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but there really is nothing to see here Sparta were much much better in the first in half and it looked like Rangers were on to a doing but second half was totally different. Both this snapshot and your interpretation doesn't tell the story at all really. Edited October 26, 2023 by gannonball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both this snapshot and your interpretation doesn't tell the story at all really. Then let me make it clearer. When I went onto the website for a quick check on the game, the headline was about Rangers finding an opener. A glance at the stats showed that Sparta had taken 16 shots to 2 at that point. On reflection, it seemed to me that the headline was telling a different story to the stats. That level of journalism appears quite poor to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Clue is in the name BBC. They're focusing on the British team. If it had been Spartans v Rangers you'd have a point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Roughie was a good goalie (debatable) and DJ was a tremendous footballer (even though he sent that BT Sport presenter to bat for the other side. ) Martins or whatever his name is is a crap Cameron, at least hes actually quite sounds for a gunt (sorry if gunts offensive).

If it had been Spartans v Rangers you'd have a point. Yes, of course their focus is on the British team. Rangers should definitely be the subject in that headline sentence. The idea that they were looking to "find [an] opener" at that stage seems quite inaccurate, given the stats. I don't see what's wrong with reflecting the actual game in the reporting (in fact, I suppose that's what this thread is about). "Rangers resisting Sparta pressure" would have been ideal. It's quite similar to the almost standard headline the BBC use when either Celtic or Rangers gets a late equaliser in the league, and are described as having been "held to a draw". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of shite he talks. Hibs and Hearts have only ever cut the away end allocation when there was ground redevelopment work going on and that was completed in 2010 at ER. Both Edinburgh clubs respect the Derby and have no interest in killing it the way the Ugly Sisters have. I'm sure Leeann Dempster will be interested in his latest hot take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever watched a football game before? Teams who are under pressure are still allowed to score, and often do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vidiprinter (if that's what it still is) had the same mistake. This also seems an odd headline from the BBC, was there any combination of results today that would have meant St Mirren weren't third? St Mirren punish lifeless St Johnstone to stay third 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
