They could just rely on the quick intros given at the start of each game (team news etc) by the match commentator, it would be perfectly adequate and just do away with the whole studio set-up, host and guests. It would save them a fortune, same goes for MOTD. See I think the punditry adds something, but the problem is that most ex-pros are absolutely terrible pundits. I'd have one ex-pro and one performance analyst or something. Someone who's actually trained to analyse matches.

RandomGuy. Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think they just need one intelligent person every week. Maloney clearly understood what was happening and explained it well IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till the fans come back and you'll see James Tavernier go back into his shell when the Ibrox loyal kick up. James Tavernier is only able to hit free kicks into the top corner from 400 yards out because there aren't any fans there calling him names 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain players thrive on the big atmosphere, for others it drags their performance down. You probably think he's having a poor season because of all the goals and assists he's had thus far. Yes I certainly can't think of any good James Tavernier seasons before now, very clever post imo!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not his fault, but he just doesn’t have the voice for a commentator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just watching Saturday's show. It doesn't bother me personally as I already knew the results, but I do find it odd that they showed the top half of the table after the first set of highlights (Hamilton v Hibs). It potentially ruins the surprise for anyone who doesn't know the outcome of the other matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I am a sad wee guy, but when I was watching Sportscene last night I was thinking that in the analysis of the Celtic v Kilmarnock match, there was no mention of Killie. Watched it back, and in 8 full minutes of discussion by Steven Thompson, Michael Stewart and Gary Caldwell, the name “Kilmarnock” wasn’t mentioned once, and to top that not one Kilmarnock player was named. That’s surely a new low. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marly Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Gary Caldwell peddling the "Celtic are missing their fans more than other teams" pish. Deary me.Aye, if the fans were the ones winning all these games for them, why pay a fortune in transfer fees and wages to players? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two in there hadn't played yet so wouldn't have had people noticing Aberdeen have gained 3 points, for example. Personally not fussed, but I know there are some people who might actively avoid seeing results before watching highlights.

Yes, especially considering the fact that the following highlights were Aberdeen v Ross County and the commentator's first words were that an Aberdeen victory would draw them level on points with Celtic - something which we already knew had happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said the oft repeated myth that Celtic miss the crowd because “a full Celtic Park” is some place to play your football. Celtic Park is only ever full, or anything like full, at Rangers matches and Champions League group matches. In the run of the mill league matches the actual people in the ground would number no more than 35,000/40,000. Obviously this is still a huge crowd in Scottish terms, but for folk to claim that Celtic Park is full for every home match is utter fantasy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 To be honest, it's one thing for braindead pundits to sit and claim no fans is hindering Celtic more than others. I'm sure if someone had too much time on their hands they could craft some sort of research to show not every club is impacted equally. However, Neil Lennon himself has come out and used this excuse on more than one occasion after overseeing yet another embarrassing defensive shambles. It is quite frankly laughable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any football club that goes down the "more than a club" route make me sick to my stomach. The likes of Celtic and Liverpool are the worst for it. It is meaningless drivel but seems to be lapped up by gloryhunting morons who like to think that following a certain football team makes them special. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not least because any truth in the sentiment has long since been diluted by marketing execs squeezing every penny out of the gullible that they can.
