haufdaft Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The BBC treating the Play Off with all the respect you'd expect from a national public service broadcaster Strangely there were no shortage of BBC Scotland journalists covering the bowls from Australia but they can't cover a national league playoff from the North East of Scotland.

Brora looked a tough and organised side when they beat us in the cup, who wouldn't look out of place at all in L2, and they were well off the pace in the HL. Gut feeling is, Cowden are going down. Brora were absolutely shite when we gubbed them in the league cup, so cup games mean little. however, I agree with your gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecto Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The BBC treating the Play Off with all the respect you'd expect from a national public service broadcaster Watching afternoon sportscene today, they completely ignored the fact that League 2 had been clinched, in fact it was not mentioned until 5pm, so little chance this game was getting any attention, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Typical and shocking but no surprise! Totally uninterested that League 2 had issues still to be confirmed and no mention of Champions and the “fight” for play off. (Fight turned out to be a damp squib, but still!)

the_bully_wee Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If Cove pummel Cowden by a large enough margin, can we relegate them straight into the East of Scotland League? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surely not! Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Will Cove risk resting some players for the second leg now. I would. Done and dusted. Get the best six on the bench and rest them for Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I would have agreed with you before last weekend. Then, they started a chat about the Highland/Lowland, and Chick started talking about how the "10 team" Highland would cope with Cove going up and Cowden joining (apparently they jumped further north in his mind). Utterly clueless when it would literally take a 5 minute spell of googling to appear informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (...not to mention the clueless hemming and hawing on Off the Ball today when the bold Stuart and Tam couldn't work out where a helicopter might be based to take a league trophy to either Montrose or Peterhead. Hint- it begins with A, and has a lot to do with North Sea Oil). Expect moronic questions next week on Off the Ball along the lines of haw haw haw wid Cowden go tae the Highland League if they git relegaytit?? genuinely clueless. Anywhere north of the central belt might as well be in Kyrgyzstan as far as our "national" broadcaster is concerned. No danger they would take today's play-off seriously, the most interest they will show is in the second leg where they will turn up like ghouls hoping for footage of crying Cowdenbeath fans.

[emoji23]That Tam impressionTo be fair they seemed to work out where it would be pretty quickly, me and my mate were just leaving Perth when they’d said Aberdeen airport. Think that was about 1.I think OTB is brilliant and should be treated separately from the other BBC shows. They did speak about Cove and even Kelty today.
