Lianne Crichton was the only one who said that we'll still be up there come end of season. Tom English who is best buds with Ian McCall was raving about Partick firing up the league if they rediscover their early season form and the other guy said about Inverness. Not really bothered tbh cause apart from Lianne the rest of them are usually always just concentrating on the premiership and the only reason they're discussing our league just now is because of the world cup. Come two weeks time when Premiership is back our league will barely get a mention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same one who played for England, Rangers, Milan and Monaco but is somehow an expert on the state of the Scottish Championship. Tom English really is an embarrassment of a reporter as well. Best he sticks to the egg chasing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Tom English knows fucks all. His tears and snotters about Hearts getting relegated during the Covid-19 season should have got him binned by the BBC. An absolute charlatan! It's even more galling that the TV license pays his wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanne Crichton is one of the most boring and dulcet tones ever to be recorded for a football game on the BBC Ally Mccoist at the world cup should be renamed Captain Obvious, as it's all he seems to point out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Sportsound was nowhere near as bad as is being made out. Discount Hateley for having literally no idea what he's talking about and English for being an exclusively old-firm-focussed hack and the rest was fine. It wasn't just Leanne who mocked these idiots for having made their predictions without mentioning either of the teams who were top at the start of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I had to do a double take when I heard them mentioning someone in our own league buying Dipo. Complete weapons. Tbh though going under the radar is fine so I’d rather they were discounting us than hyping us up. The way they go on about Queens Park is laughable though, I’m sure I heard the word “fairytale” at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded like he was very much happy to stay after the Partick Thistle game.

motley123rock Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 1 hour ago, WATTOO said: The entire team were good today and they all pulled together for a pretty deserving and pretty comfortable 3 points. We weren't great but we never looked in any real danger and with this Ayr side you're always confident that they will score goals one way or another. As others have said, the makeshift defence was excellent and I don't think McGinty lost one aerial confrontation and McAllister slotted in very well beside him as he harried and tackled everything on the deck and of course Ecrepont was brilliant at RB and adds another attacking threat with his quality whipped crosses, even on the wrong side of the park !! Reading was pretty decent today also, especially after his recent form dip. I don't know if anyone else heard the nonsense from the so called "pundits" on Radio Scotland post match, however they reckon Dipo will be going to Queens Park or Dundee in January and that we'll struggle to make the play offs. The general consensus was that the top 4 would be Queens Park, Partick, Dundee and Inverness with only Leanne Crichton talking any sort of sense. The sad thing is that a couple of them (after making crazy statements) said they didn't actually know much about the sides or ANYTHING about their financial backers. Honestly, what a joke our journalists and media are in this country. If it's not Rangers or Celtic or their "mates" then they have no interest whatsoever, yet are being paid to give an opinion and have a discussion on subjects that they are completely ignorant about, you honestly couldn't make it up....... I heard some of it. Shaking my head most of the way home listening to them. Leigh Ann Chriton ( don’t know if that right spelling ) spoke any sense . Most of them didn’t have a clue about the league any of the players and gave really bog standard text book answers I.e the top 4 will be thistle , caley ,dundee & Queen’s Park. I don’t know was the ex player commenting at our game was on but he wrote us off from even making the top four. Really poor stuff from BBC Sportsound. You would think they would get in for a couple of weeks guys who follow this league who would know their stuff. Reminded me of World Cup pundits poor knowledge of all other teams apart from their favourites Ingerlund . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dlnbv4 38 minutes inI think we’ll be offered the chance to sign him permanently come January. He’s probably still able to do a job in the Premiership but Livingston will want a younger player to come in who’s got a bit of resale value. Chalmers is a bit trickier. If we don’t go up I’d imagine he’ll have an offer from a Premiership club. Would like to think we could push the boat out a bit and try and entice him to stay though. Bullen was asked about incomings in January and only wants the right kind of player. Think he’ll fancy a defender and a midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It showed the utter mediocrity and laziness of sports "journalism" in 2022 that none of them (with the exception of Crichton) could even be bothered to do any research whatsoever about the Championship despite knowing that the main focus of a programme lasting several hours was going to be that division. Bob Crampsey will be turning in his grave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 The only comment I found puzzling was that Ian Murray doesn’t think we’re that much stronger than them. Fair enough they beat us at Starks although we did more than enough to draw but they deserved nothing from today. They’re also 10 points behind us. I get that a manager has to stay positive and keep the heid but he also admitted earlier on that they don’t have players like Akinyemi and Mullin which would suggest that he’s well aware that we are a stronger outfit. I think outside of our forward players there isn’t much between a lot of teams and ourselves. We have good players in Musonda, Kirk, Dempsey and Murdoch but this season has shown that you can still go toe to to with them if you have a good game. Having the likes of Dipo, Mullin and Chalmers just gives us that edge over other teams that don’t have that quality up top. As for the comments made by the others, as disrespectful or dismissive as they may be I’ve come to expect nothing less from the likes of Tom English although even he seemed to confess the top four might stay as it is for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Not to sound like a moaning minnie but still think the atmosphere at Somerset could be better at times. 1st half especially you could hear a pin drop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
