Football Years

[God Petrie]

What is this pish on STV? Why do they cover the SPL season as if there are only two clubs in the country.

Absolute weegie crap. Keith Jackson has to be the most vile little weegie rat I've ever seen and I've been to Ibrox and Parkhead countless times.

[Onceinawhile]

Old firm years.

It's a repeat.

Look out for :

Rangers getting to the Uefa Cup Final (and getting pumped)

Celtic getting to the Uefa Cup Final (and getting pumped)

But...

not Aberdeen winning trophies in Europe. Nah, none of that pish.

I wouldn't object if at some time in the near future they were screening Celtic winning the league in 1986. I dare say I might even watch it.

The BBC's 'That was the team that was', a whole lot better than this STV crap.

I wonder if Scotland Today can explain why they split in two for local news stories, but then go back to Glasgow for the "Sports News", ie what Celtic and Rangers are getting up to? The North and the Borders get their own News and Sports, so why do we have to "share" sports news with that lot?

Just to let us know we support a wee team from a provisional town and are of no interest to the big boys of the world.

[truehibernian]

To be honest, as a Hibs fan but also a football fan, these programmes are quite good to watch. Last night you could see a few things which for me are crucial for a winning team. The look in Lennon's eyes when he was talking about winning and more importantly losing to the Old Firm rival.........its that look that each and every Hibs player should have in the tunnel and throughout the games v Hearts. The devilment and quiet "assassin like" stare Souness had when explaining the lead up to the Celtic game in Europe. The methodical and meticulous way Alex McLeish manages. And the way Martin O'Neill inspires every player, young and old, to great things. The Old Firm's players for me are not in any way a problem. It is their odious fans (in general) that for me cause all the antagonism. I actually thought Barry Ferguson came across well (although I had seen this episode before and I think this was before the Scotland incident).

Football years was excellent, not saying much admittedly but one of STV's best productions in recent years.

Like it or not, Hibs have been relatively unsuccessful club in last 35 years and will not feature as much as Of, I accept 2003 was one of the more Old Firm weighted programmes (as reflected by league tables that year it was peak of their dominance) but does not mean it was of no interest

[Betty Boop]

A wee bit about Hibs on tonight. Mainly about George Best signing and the crowds he drew to watch him. I didn't know he had a punch up with Willie Miller. :greengrin Pat Stanton was on also.

[lapsedhibee]

Wasn't much fun on tonight's programme watching Fergie and Pat Stanton:shocked:'s team winning the league at ER in 1980. Apparently Celtc only had to beat St Mirren on the last day of the season at Love St to deny the Sheepies and take the title, but St Mirren held them to a draw.

Says a lot for St Mirren that though they themselves had nothing to play for in the end-of-season game, they gave a thoroughly professional performance against Celtc. Always had a soft spot for St Mirren because of that. :agree:

Did Celtic a turn a few years later though on the infamous 'Albert Kidd' day!
