kingjoey Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 7 hours ago, The Master said: Incidentally, Wednesday night will be interesting. If Premier Sports don't show the replay (and they might not be able to do thanks to the MOU that prevents domestic games up against the Champions League) then this will be the first time since the start of the "ongoing situation" where a Scottish Cup game at Ibrox isn't shown live. Yet the BBC are contractually-obliged to provide footage of all non-live games. Will they break with their principles and send someone along, or spend money sub-contracting to the usual company that cover league games for Sevco TV, whose footage is then used for Sportscene? Not sure if I’m being stupid here, but no idea what you’re on about. Every league game at Ibrox that isn’t live, every one bar Celtic, is shown on Sportscene. So what difference does it make that it’s a Cup game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic and Sevco use their own contracted production company for their home league games. This is why you don’t see full time pictures on Sportscene Results, and why whoever is in the studio on Sportsound to update on games at Ibrox is ostensibly “monitoring social media feeds” rather than watching the live feed come in. Cup games are different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We give the BBC access to RTV footage, shouldn't change for a cup game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRocketman II Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 11 hours ago, DA Baracus said: "Half hearted attempt for a penalty" in reference to Defoe's massive dive in the second half. No, he's a massive cheating c**t who wasn't touched in the slightest and who should have been booked (and punched in his cheating puss). Think it was McLean's commentary which said that there were "half hearted claims for a penalty". No mention that it was dive. Not covered by Sportscene. It was a shocker of a dive and going by his last few games it seems it seems that this is one of Defoe's attributes. Against St Mirren, Michael Stewart tried to argue that Defoe "anticipated" the contact that never came and therefore it wasn't a dive. That's a nonsense argument however if this assessment was applied to last night's dive, then Defoe anticipated contact 5 mins before the defender even thought about applying it........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if you watch the incident closely, Defoe actually kicks out at Broadfoot with his right leg to 'manufacture' contact then dives. But that's ok according to Sportscene. And by definition and precedent that will also be OK for the joke that is the Compliance Officer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Seems that Sportscene couldn’t be bothered to actually send a commentator to St Mirren v Dundee Utd yesterday, or even have them commentate “live” from Pacific Quay. Jamie Lyall was watching Scotland v Ireland in the rugby while the game in Paisley was ongoing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRocketman II Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 yep for the hard of thinking pundits (Billy Dodds to name but a few), the fact there was a suggestion of contact will be enough to confirm his "entitlement" to go down. Ignoring the ludicrousness of that school of thought, who initiated contact and the extent of the contact will be way beyond the simplicity of their assessment and tactical analysis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I loved the fact after he attempted to kick Broadfoot and only dealt him a glancing blow he fell on his arse and started to rub his leg , which he quickly stopped when he realised he was getting SFA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "anticipation" argument is brilliant. If a player "anticipated" the ball going in the net, do the pundits think a goal should be given? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player "anticipated" the ball going in the net, do the pundits think a goal should be given?It's not though.The anticipation argument is a valid point. If a guy comes in at knee height a la McGregor, you'll do your damndest to get out the road.If he misses and your evasion of the impending collision results in you not getting to the ball, a free kick is the correct call.That said, that isn't the case with the Defoe incident, that was a dive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The compliance officer can't do anything about it - the rules only allow a ban for diving if it leads to a penalty, a red card or a free-kick from which a goal is scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank the pole Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Is it just me but is anyone else annoyed that when you have Sportscene on series link on Virgin you have to delete this Saturday afternoon garbage show every week... 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same on Sky. I always get excited thinking there's been a Saturday night Sportscene when I'm flicking through my planner late Saturday or early Sunday. Every week without fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Favourite moment of the season so far could well be the Celtic “chance” where the st Johnstone defender falls over then the goalie dives despite nobody even being in the vicinity of the cross never mind shooting at goal. Hopefully somebody can post a video. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
