Barney Rubble Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 More fuddisms from McLeod the fud - that's twice he's mentioned that Benny Rooney captained St Johnstone in the League Cup final in the early 70's. The final was in October 1969. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mitchell is freelance, which allows him to have significantly more freedom on social media (although this is pushing things somewhat). In fact, BBC Sport Scotland has very few permanent employees amongst the on-air, er, "talent". Even Richard Gordon is freelance, AFAIK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's freelance it should be an easy excuse for the BBC not to use him. I don't think it's appropriate for the BBC to use anyone who liked something comparing the actions of the First Minister to Goebbels. Going from his tweets and likes, there's stuff from defending the Capitol insurrectionists to 'joke' articles claiming that people on furlough are lazy to anti-mask stuff. I followed him ages ago but unfollowed him after getting the impression he was a bit weird. Since Trump's defeat/Covid/BLM though he seems to have gone completely down the rabbit hole.

Gianfranco Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’m not sure why Martindale and Marvin were so angry on the touchline? Feeling the pressure already? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Michael Stewart and Naismith are good pundits, but having a go at Joe Lewis for the first could have been accompanied by the conversation about Livingston's player (not the scorer) being well offside and standing right in front of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mitchell came to my attention due to his determined avoidance of using the word "racism" in conjunction with the taking of the knee. There is a case for the BBC ignoring his novel views in the context of sports commentary but they also have him on their shows delivering spiritual and moral homilies. I'm not at all sure his actions are defendable and for the BBC, they certainly aren't sustainable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishBhoy Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 It’s a mystery how Neil McCann has been unable to succeed as a manager. Guy can hardly string a sentence together. I rarely watch Sportscene but any time I do I’m always left wondering just how little money goes into the production of it. It’s like the weekends games come as a shock to them and they only remember at 4 o clock on a Sunday. They then frantically run around Pacific Quay throwing together the highlights and graphics and manage to get it out just in time. ‘Did St Mirren have 80 percent possession today? That doesn’t seem right. And the Dundee Hibs game had 4 goals but neither team had a shot on target?’ ‘f**k it it will need to do no one will notice’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
