RawB93 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I don't like the past tense commentary at all. Would rather see them commentate as live to make me feel like I'm watching the game for myself, not some rushed recap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 The past-tense reporting only happens on the Scottish Cup. All Premiership matches have commentary. It's dubbed commentary, but done as if it were live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I don't mind the dubbed commentary (I imagine it would cost too much to do it live) but it does annoy me when they say things that you know they would only say when they know the outcome. E.g. If a game is 3-0, then the away team get a goal and they say something like 'they last time *away team* came back from three goals down to get a draw was back in x year' and you know they wouldn't bother looking up that stat unless they already knew that the score would end up 3-3. 'Or *random midfielder' hasn't scored a goal in three games, he'll be looking to get one today' and he scores a goal. Another thing that irritates me about football highlights generally (everywhere seems to do this not just sportscene) is that they don't have the time next to the score on the screen. Particularly when you don't know the score of a particular match, if there is an attack in the second half when a team is 1 down it's hard to tell sometimes whether this is last chance situation or if there is still 25 minutes to go.

coprolite Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I like Alba's commentary. I am sure they also speak pish but it sounds nicer. I only want to know which player is involved anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If it's only short highlights I prefer a properly done overview style commentary rather than an added as live one. That style sounds so false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. The BBC already have reporters there for both Sportscene and Sportsound. Instead of duplication there, allocate the Sportscene reporters to commentary and use the Sportsound reporters for both, even if it means someone goes silent on OAM for 10 seconds. Another thing that irritates me about football highlights generally (everywhere seems to do this not just sportscene) is that they don't have the time next to the score on the screen. Particularly when you don't know the score of a particular match, if there is an attack in the second half when a team is 1 down it's hard to tell sometimes whether this is last chance situation or if there is still 25 minutes to go. A proper clock would be jarring as it jumps about. But MOTD shows the minute next to the score after each cut (i.e. "5 mins", "14 mins"). That's a good compromise I think.

That's a good compromise I think. I'm not sure about that because highlights for most other sports keeps the clock. I'm not sure why football is the exception.

Steve McQueen Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I like it when they show a random booking because you know a sending off is coming later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Unless it's Scott Brown getting booked, which would be a highlight in itself It let's you know the game is past the hour mark if he does get booked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I like it when they show a random booking because you know a sending off is coming later! Or actually showing a substitution instead of just having the bit at the bottom referring to it. Sure sign either a goal scorer is coming on or a red card for that player is imminent.

The Mantis Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 This week there was a clear giveaway in the rangers game. It had a fake 'live' commentary but when the 4th goal went in the guy said something like 'that rounds off the first win for the new manager' but there were only 74 minutes gone...

7-2 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 So Saints won 2-1, had 15 attempts to Motherwell's 16, 6 on target to Wells 5 and 9 corners to Wells 2 yet going by the highlights it was basically all Motherwll. Seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Aye Jonathon, Richie Foran may have said last week that Partick could be a top four club, chuckle chuckle, and the way things are going they might indeed have half an eye on catching Hearts but so what if they did? That'd only leave them 5th, not 4th, a position now held by St Johnstone, the invisible club. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 And let's end with a paused still of the Rangers manager at Ibrox, a club we are in dispute with and at a ground we don't currently cover. c***s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
