TurbineTon Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 No real issue with a Paisley, mouth-breather providing biased commentry. A. it's a package aimed at midden fans; and B. it's superior to anything we offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Worth noting that the most biased thing he was doing was celebrating goals. For the most part he didn't make that bad a commentator.And I keep pointing out it's St Mirren TV because some folk don't seem to understand the job the guy's in.

AyrshireTon Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I don’t see the problem either. The commentator does give credit for Murdoch’s strike. Partick Thistle used to have an equally enthusiastic commentator - “DID YOU SEE THAT - WHIT A GOAL THAT WIZ” all the way to “Aww - wan nil tae Pe’erheid”. The ones at Ibrox are hilarious though - fever pitch at every home attack then an away goal is met with a softly muttered “McCluskey scores” as though someone had shat in his Bovril.

Demented Zebra Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 7 hours ago, Coventry Saint said: No, of course not, but I'm not commentating on the TV/radio. I just like a bit of professionalism. The guy's a lecturer in media, FFS, he should be leading by example. The commentary should be Saints leaning, not Saints partisan - there's an important distinction to make and it's a crucial part of reporting. If that was my job, and I was doing the commentary, firstly people would be wondering what that English c**t was doing on St Mirren TV. Secondly, I'd make sure that I was demonstrating the fact that, even as a lifelong Saints fan, I was able, at the very least, to refer to St Mirren in the third person when needed.

mylothedog Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Don't get what's wrong with being biased on your own media?? Watching Scotland games on tv the commentators seem biased towards Scotland. I expect that. The only bias I hate is the bias towards sevco and Celtic from sky, the BBC, BT, the papers, Radio clyde, stv etc.etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branch Ton Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Not sure what all the fuss is about. You don’t get a commentary if you attend the game so just press the mute button before watching. Of more concern should be the editing of the highlights package which usually focuses on the home team going forward. Morton’s home highlights usually feature lots of floated balls in the direction of the opposition box and cleared corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be ridiculous. You're smart enough to know what I'm saying without straw-manning me. You asked why people had an issue, and I clearly explained why the commentary is shoddy both as a fan and as a professional. I can see from other responses that it doesn't bother everyone, and that's fine. Honestly, I don't care that much, I was just trying to explain.
