Rangers won 4-0, it was absolutely irrelevant to the outcome of the match. If it was a handball at the other end and it wasn't discussed, Scottish football would be in full outrage mode right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means put it in the highlights package but to spend a decent amount of time focusing on it was really weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all refereeing 'controversies' now must get their air time. Open All Mics this afternoon was similarly pointless in its treatment of that game. Well after the outcome was decided their man at Ibrox was still interrupting more interesting things to tell us about chances etc in that game, even though it was done and dusted and there was actual commentary of it on another frequency. Just daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes that decision at Ibrox all the more bonkers. You get the feeling that Don Robertson went out today with the mindset that, after last Saturday, he wasn't going to send any Rangers players off and get a load of stick from the media. He knew that if he gave the foul he would have, at the least, to book Sands so he just waved play on. That was pathetic. Could/would have changed the game entirely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all true, but it's a predictable decision at Ibrox! Yet it's all they talked about on the radio in the aftermatch "analysis". I had driven home (over 30mins later) and there was no post match interviews for any other game. Just repetitive discussion about the ref at Ibrox. As noted above, they no longer even pretend to have an interest in other teams and we listening to a fancier radio cylde. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By fancy I just mean that they have the resources of multiple commentators around the grounds. They even have recorded post match interviews from them. Yet the content they air could be recorded in one of the hospitality booths at whichever arese cheeks ground had the home game that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Watching the WWC qualifier between RoI and Finland on RTE. In their pre-match analysis they did a well-researched piece on how Finland are vulnerable to high balls into the box. - with illustrative match clips. Of course, The RoI have just taken the lead - from a high ball into the box. Thank f**k we will have Pauline MacDonald or Leanne Crichton's dreary inaccuracies and pointless generalisations when we play The Faroes next week. Leave polished professionalism and forensic insight to others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 MOTD showed the Merseyside derby way down the pecking order as it was seemingly a poor game. If Celtic/Sevco vs Sevco/Celtic was a pish 0-0 do you think a single game in our top league would be shown above it? Would, at least, half the show not be about the one poor game? Rhetorical question incidentally. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 If there's one positive thing to come from VAR being introduced, it's the 18-yard cameras on non-live games. If this were last season, we'd never have known if the Livi goal against Hearts were offside or not (it wasn't). Also, on a more meta point - it seemed odd that Sportscene highlights and Sportscene live were using different graphics suites (new and old respectively). I'm going to take a punt and say that BBC Scotland need to keep using the old graphics on live games until BBC Englandshire show a live game. Either because the lords and masters in Salford don't want an outpost using the new graphics first, or because they don't exist yet - because the lords and masters don't realise they need to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletchers Saucy Manbun Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Are the BBC not allowed to send commentators to the grounds or something?

Totally bizarre watching that old firm derby commentated by a guy in a broom cupboard. Just the same as it always is I think. The only time they usually use live commentary from the ground on Sportscene is if they’ve had to rush the highlights and are forced to use the live radio commentary (if it was covered on RS), I’m sure that was the case with an Aberdeen game not too long ago. Either way it didn’t really work and came across as odd. Edited September 3, 2022 by JagsCG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
