aldo71 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I usually like Ferguson on the radio. Also the 2 on sportscene. But wtf was the commentary on our highlights last night ???? Did they not send somebody to cover the game ? Old Kiridean was clearly phoning it in from his couch somewhere . It reminded me of the bad old days of Scotsport on a sunday with that knob White kidding on he was there, but clearly a voiceover. Again the BBC looking cheap as chips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Donnell's pass was described as a hoof in the match report. The journalist realised his error and changed this to a very complimentary description after an apologetic tweet. Talk that the radio coverage wasnt fair on us, yet its widely acknowledged by anyone who's heard it before that the show is brutal and that several pundits talk up their own teams. Switch it off? Its drivel. I stick it on when back in the car to hear our manager and otherwise never listen. Just watched Sportscene where Jonathan Sutherland made a point of giving us credit instead of just criticising Hibs. All three were very complimentary about us. Michael Stewart alluded to the early season rumours of discontent but said weve turned it around and are building something. Thompson said he hopes it works out for Alessio and commented that he seems a nice man. Incidentally, the SOD pass was raved about. I'd calm down the chat of BBC bias - someone even said we should follow those at Ibrox and ban them from the stadium - as its total Old Filth patter and its embarrassing to read. Your right pal but this forum is polluted with f**k wits , yes the bbc etc are full of know nothing pundits but don’t take it to heart , I’ve said many times on here that if KFC do well the press etc will hate us , and sure enough ....... -11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch14 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hilarious listening to last night's Sportsound.

I doubt it's a conscious bias. I'd wager that as soon as Clarke left, there was a flip chart in the BBC Radio Scotland office with something along the lines of "crisis club 2019 - Killie" written on it. I doubt they were the only ones, though. They would naturally be hoping we would crash and burn as that makes for a better story. Employing a foreign manager would have just sealed the deal in their eyes. The awful start to the season was great for their storyline, but they got carried away and they piled it on thick: they gleefully reported rumours of unrest in the dressing room, they had tantrums about the pitch, they had a go at Angelo's command of English, they had a go at the style of football (which isn't dissimilar to Clarke's style) and so on. Fair enough, big Kirk jumped ship, but you can't make an omelette without microwaving a few eggs. The fawning support offered by parasites like Preston to Levein after a piss poor 33 games (that's thirty three games, nearly a full season of pish results) contrasts shamefully with the incestuous, "he disnae know the Scottish game" xenophobia spewed at Alessio after a couple of poor results. I think that a couple of the BBC pundits may have a bit of a dislike for us (Willie Miller, for example) but I've always felt Ferguson was pretty fair. To me, his fantasy-land match summary felt more like he was trying to keep to a Killie-in-crisis storyline, the reality of which had since changed. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point the other night, that while 'defending' Levein, and saying he was a great coach, pointed out that he has been through this kind of pressure at Dundee United, Leicester and Scotland. They saw that as a positive. I would say it shows a pattern...... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killienice Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Why not have an ex Killie player as the “pundit”? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) The BBC IS biased. It allows pundits to openly support their team. Without a counter-balance that is bias. There are plenty of ex-Killie players who speak well at half time every week. What would it cost? Taxi fare and a nominal appearance fee? It’s getting boring us all saying it but Sportsound needs shoved to the back of a cupboard with all the other 90s memorabilia. Good fun - at the time - but not any more.

aldo Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 I dipped into a bit of sportsound yesterday. willie miller as usual paid to watch Aberdeen, dick Gordon desperate to discuss everything Aberdeen, it was almost unlistenable. over to radio clyde, amateur hour rubbish, so back to radio Aberdeen. desperate stuff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH31 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) I also believe the quality of pundit and analysis is lacking because of BBC funding cuts to the Scottish coverage. Hence the expression, pay peanuts you get monkeys. Edited September 22, 2019 by LH31 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
