Forest_Fifer Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The problem is that to land a gig you generally have to have played for one of the three Old Firm teams. Knowledge, ability to string a sentence together are secondary. That’s why Michael Stewart is so refreshing. I see what you did there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 No idea why they had a sports correspondent interviewing Doncaster.Surely if this is about governance and finance it should be the BBC business correspondent that interviewed him.It's a sports story, not a business one. Business journalists aren't going to give the tiniest of fucks how a sports league decides to run a voting process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch ‘Football First’ a lot in the early 00’s for our highlights and he was terrible. Came across as totally wooden and like he was reading the autocue constantly. Didn’t have a clue about players at that level either, the show was riddled with mistakes, embarrassing stuff. Totally agree,heard he was co commentating on rangers tv in ther live league cup game earlier in the season versus my team east Fife,he didnt know we had moved stadium,and bonner clueless too,thot naysmith was still our manager last season,ther on the radio-they should know ther stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant just brush a shambles like that vote under the carpet and rangers have already said they'll produce their so called evidence this week so no real need to keep saying if rangers have evidence they should produce it. Guy should be trying to get a title sponsor for the league. Something he has completely failed to do and shouldve been drop kicked out his job for months back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen too. It's like the feckin aberdeen show when the old firm aren't playing with Richard gordon and willie miller going on for hours about their game and feck anyone else playing that night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to demand an enquiry , apparently Doncaster set the terms on how he would be interviewed and by whom !!!! The BBC ( biased media ) should have told him to do one and they should have set the terms and if he didn’t like it then so be it , they could have put out a statement saying he refused to be interviewed....the whole thing has been scripted to make him look good .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotsport show of the early 00s was the nadir of football coverage in Scotland. I don't think it's any coincidence that a lot of Scottish youngsters started paying attention to English or foreign fitba around that time. I agree. How can an hour of highlights be so bad. Goals, saves, crunching takes etc it all happened and STV managed to make it look and sound dull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about how interested the person is in the activity, it's about how interesting the story is. Enron was a multi-billion pound fraud, this is an organisation with a slight disagreement about when to pay football clubs money they were due. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavily dependent on privileged access and willing to present the views of their political patron as fact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, in the grand scheme of things and when this whole situations is judged by history, academics will wonder how Stranraer got relegated and Scotland has a league set up that makes no sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
