BBC assuming Celtic win v St. Johnstone (merged)

[--------]

"Hibernian moved temporarily back to the top of the Scottish Premier League after their first victory over Dundee United in seven attempts ..."

Who's writing the BBC football reports these days? :confused:


Some guy Stevie Millar - writes like a Jambo groupie. :jamboak:

[NRW_Hibbie]

Opening paragraph from BBC report:


Hibernian moved temporarily back to the top of the Scottish Premier League after their first victory over Dundee United in seven attempts.

It's only temporary if Celtic win FFS.

[Hal Jordan]

From BBC website:

"Hibernian moved temporarily back to the top of the Scottish Premier League after their first victory over Dundee United in seven attempts."

What an effing cheek!
Insulting not only to us but the Saints as well :fuming:

Who's writing the BBC football reports these days? Russell Grant? :confused:
your spot on to be honest, you'd think the mainstream media would have learned to stop all that nonsense after they made a complete arse of Rangers over the last few years.

their spin of Rangers attempt to save Hearts yesterday has just proved that the OF have the media round their little finger

Strange thing about it is that (I believe) Stevie Miller is a St Johnstone fan.

I think he's missing the words "at least".

Well, he goes all gooey about Skacel at the end.

IMO he's missing a lot more than a couple of words. :cb

[gillythehibby]

What about this banger Miller on the BBC site? "Hibernian moved temporarily back to the top of the Scottish Premier League after their first victory over Dundee United in seven attempts. " Does he know something the rest of us don't and Celtic have won already? Trumpet. Somebody please tweet that banger and tell him will ya

I don't know if this is negative wording, or because our season has had almost no negativity, am i just reading too much into the opening sentence in this report?

The only thing to read into it is that the journalist in question considers a Celtc win to be a foregone conclusion. Would be the same if it were any other non-OF team in our position.

[Marabou Stork]

Would be the same if it were any other non-OF team in our position.

Yes. However, I don't give one single ****. We are where we are through merit, and despite this country's best attempts, the establishment is struggling.

[HiBremian]

Maybe he means "temporarily", as in "only until August 2013":cb

Looks like he's changed it now. More disrespectful to St. J. ... IMHO.

[Hibs7]

BBC have changed the wording....absolute amateurs

70 mins for Saints to hold out for a draw!


nah, we don't want saints getting just TOO near to us :wink: draw is absolutely ideal for us, keeps us on top...and saints only gain one point on us

[hongkonghibee]

According to BBC site, St Johnstone had 57% possesion first half

[hibeedonald]

That BBC possession stat needs looked at, always wrong.

[Part/Time Supporter]

1-0, Watt

[Hibs7]

Ah well.

[Golden Bear]

Depends on the context of 'temporarily.' It could be for an hour, 2 hours, a day, a week or whatever.

Aye, but that reasoning applies if Celtc go top as well, and you can guarantee that won't be described as temporary.

And we have a good chance of winning next week to stay there.

[Peevemor]

[Famous Fiver]

Pity that the Director General has already gone.

His coat would have been on a shoogly peg allowing one of his reporters to spout such 'temporary' rubbish.

Is there no editorial control at the Beeb?

[silverhibee]

whoop whoop

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Top of the league the week the Yams could go bust, ha, ha. :hibees:pfgwa

[hibeedonald]

Celtic not away to Aberdeen next week aswell? Tough game!

Did you hear that tic fud Gerry McCulloch saying on Sky news Celtic will have to wait until next week to go back to the top of the league................EH?

away'n lie in yir weegie pish son.....

[NOLA]

great result for the saintees, keeps them in a good position aswell :flag:

To be fair he did add the word perhaps. :wink:

[Bristolhibby]

Aye, but that reasoning applies if Celtc go top as well, and you can guarantee that won't be described as temporary.

I suppose any team that goes top and does not win the league is only there temporarily.

[nonshinyfinish]

Stevie Miller...get it right up you. Permanently.

[CmoantheHibs]

Folk do get a wee bit wound up about nothing really..Is it that important?

[Golden Bear]

It's time to move.

I wonder which Dundee United player/member of staff will be the studio guest on Sportscene tonight?

:devil:

[cabbageandribs1875]

nah, we don't want saints getting just TOO near to us :wink: draw is absolutely ideal for us, keeps us on top...and saints only gain one point on us



thank you lord above, amen :not worth

[BroxburnHibee]

Folk do get a wee bit wound up about nothing really..Is it that important?

Maybe not that important but fact is the standard of BBC journalism is declining rapidly.

This publically funded institution is there to report the facts NOT make comment on what they hope will happen :greengrin

[Ringothedog]

:agree:

It's time to move.

I wonder which Dundee United player/member of staff will be the studio guest on Sportscene tonight?

:devil:

Probably Skacel and Houston

[lord bunberry]

I'm assuming Celtic will win as well.

Not so

[Stevie Reid]

Went on to check the attendance after the game and couldn't believe my eyes - took a picture of it on my phone, as I knew it would soon be changed. Utterly ridiculous journalism.

[essexhibee]

Who's their game in hand against?

[green glory]

Who's their game in hand against?

Dundee Utd.
