DA Baracus Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) There's more. He also believes that Celtic have a business model that is unique in all of football and that other clubs don't do it because they lack the ambition or some shit. The model is buying players then selling them on for a big profit or something similar. If I'm wrong hopefully he can explain it. He's strangely silent when asked why Celtic have only ever won the European Cup once, as surely if they want it more and have more ambition they should be lifting it every season.

Did he not quote players like Van Djik as examples of this "process", the same Van Djik who cost them £2.5m, more than Saints have in the bank as an entire club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The only 'model' Celtic (and Rangers) have is exploiting sectarianism and bigotry to get more fans than other clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic's superiority over say, Stirling Albion is intrinsic and in no way related to the fact that they can pay players lots of money, so can therefore attract better ones. Anyone pointing to wealth is simply making excuses. I'm assuming this reasoning doesn't apply when it comes to European competitions? Unless of course PSG, Barca etc just want it more than Celtic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the only reason Lionel Messi has had a more successful career than say Stirling Albion's Darren Smith, is because he 'wants it more'. God, I hate people with that mentality. They're allergic to facts and information. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's not going to say that. But why should our national broadcaster be giving these losers a chance to airbrush their managerial records and tout themselves for other jobs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the issue I, and many others, have is that their views aren't scrutinised. I haven't heard any of McCann on Sportsound, but Hartley blamed everyone but himself for the state of Falkirk and nobody on the programme challenged it. Same when Yogi was discussing his time at Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same when Yogi was discussing his time at Raith. They love John Hughes on there, but no one ever asks him about the shite he pulled. He's done some good things, but he has excuses for all the shite things. But then no one asks him why it ever got to the stage that Ryan Stevenson had to be in goals for Raith down at Ayr, or about that shite with the groundsman giving the talk. They don't push him on how he expected Inverness to magic up a much increased budget. They don't ask him why he failed at Hartlepool. Neil McCann has been on a few times and has said that he has 'no doubt' that his team would have 'come good'. No one asks him what the basis of this is. No one says, "Hang on, you signed a load of utter shite, in what way were they going to 'come good'? When was Moussa going to be a good player?".

TheScarf Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yep, footballers and managers get an easy ride from the press in Scotland. They should get grilled like politicians do IMO. 'Why were all your signing an unmitigated disaster?' 'On what planet were your tactics and team selections a good idea with the players at your disposal?' All they get is 'Aww regale us again about that great win over x,y and z' and 'You're a club legend there now because you finished 5th one time in the SPL'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Does anyone know why Sportsound and the BBC in particular only cover the premiership - I was thinking that their remit is universal coverage is it not regardless of the audience they have to provide the same service for all that's why they have regional news and multi language broadcast - are they not meant to be providing coverage of all the leagues not just on a Saturday but through the week, I mean look at league 2 that title race looks epic yet I have never heard it mentioned or the fact Arbroath are top of league one, I doubt any pundit employed by the BBC could explain why Arbroath have been so successful. They show our game true apathy and I wasn't surprised to see heir listener figures taking a tanking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim to cover Scottish football but aye, it's mainly Sevco and Celtic and then some talk about other Premiership clubs. I doubt the morons they employ for the show could name the teams in Leagues 1 and 2. Even if they did just 30 minutes a week about each of the lower leagues it would be huge improvement. But they won't because they won't ever leave their comfortable wee Celtic/Sevco bubble. Shitebags and cretins. Tonight they had Massimo Donati on. I wonder what particular criteria he fulfilled in order to get that gig.. Edited February 8, 2019 by DA Baracus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Forfar POV, they thought Bollan getting the punt last season was ridiculous as he had got us up the previous season. If they had even bothered to either look at the current run of form at the time or even asked a couple of regulars that turn up at Station Park, it would have been blatantly obvious why he had to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I've given up on it barring OAM on a Saturday, but I thought they dedicated one night a week to lower league matters this year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
