Dons_1988 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 You didn't, though. You got emptied. Aberdeen were absolutely awful in Cyprus. Not like you to post stuff like that about Aberdeen [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how many EBT recipients they will ask about Rangers' financial troubles without asking about the EBTs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It really is remarkable. We had the Mols nonsense a couple of weeks ago and now this complete and utter absence of a story. What or who, is such drivel now for? We know that tabloids need to speak to their stupid audience, but can the BBC not be a bit different? Is this complete dumbing down and abandonment of anything resembling journalism, a result of an explicit editorial decision, or is it just evidence an underfunded laziness and lack of care? Either way, it's thoroughly unacceptable. This. This is supposed to be saved for the likes of the daily record. It is absolute pandering drivel. Not least because every single interview says exactly the same thing.Additionally, maybe for the sportscene thread but the results show yesterday had a whole section devoted to the English premier league. If I wanted debate on that I'd go to BBC in the rest of the uk, sky sports, bt sport or any number of outlets covering it. I chose the Scottish football programme thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the game must be next weekend, but no, they don't play each other for another month, and Rangers still have another 4 games before then. Celtic fans want their daily dose of sevco, it keeps them quiet for a while. 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: We're joint top, just broke a club record, and we're the 13th story down. I'm raging. Quite an interesting read tho, the lifespan of your average tractor. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The Bigot Broadcasting Corp's site has been like this all week. 99% of the lead 'stories' have been Old Firm puff pieces, mainly Celtic oriented, their midweek game no excuse. It's as if they've just given up pretending now, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is so blatant now, the pieces are so nakedly 'puffy' in nature as you say, that it looks like a deliberate shift in direction. It's really not good enough. They'd be better doing away with the website altogether, than treating us to that insulting shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see if the overall puff coverage of Rangers has increased now that they don't cover games from Ibrox... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hamilton beat Dundee 3-0 yesterday but it was Dundee who opened the scoring through...." How the f*ck does that work? That was just after she had said Michael O'Halloran scored his first goal for St Johnstone yesterday. Was the first goal an own goal?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_dog Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Slightly off topic but hopeless BBC as usual (at least I think, my French isn't great), but on the Beeb's Football transfer & gossip page. 12:33 "A great class" is the headline on the front page of French sports newspaper L'Equipe as they focus on Neymar's home debut where he scored twice for Paris St-Germain in their 6-2 victory over Toulouse. Doesn't it mean first class, Neymar is First Class. Not He's a great class? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Yeah, it's probably closer to our terms "world class" or "top class". That's the problem when the work experience boy is on google translate while preparing the article 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
