We should celebrate the fact that Derek Ferguson managed to actually string a sentence together - a triumph for Scottish education.

Chick Youngs "I'm telling you, it's written in the stars Rangers will meet Motherwell in the play-offs" was a belter.
Stubbs should play it back to the guys at training tomorrow.

I'm assuming you don't have any family with "special needs" as you put it.
Derek Ferguson may be a bit of a slaver, but don't be likening him to those who have genuine struggles in their lives for laughs.

Have listened to the man many times and he sounds like a person with learning difficulties yes. Not for laughs, am being serious. Bottom line, he may have been a decent footballer but that doesn't mean he isn't limited in other ways - its obvious he has communication problems and should be nowhere near a job as a professional broadcaster. No disrespect intended to people who are bracketed as such, my problem is with the BBC employing someone at the expense of another who is more suited to a role in broadcasting.

No he doesn't. And people need to be less touchy and paranoid - it's a bit of a cringe.

I can't stand Preston and it's ludicrous he gets to report on Hibs games when he is openly biased, but other than that, there are worse sports programmes out there, and there is certainly no anti-Hibs agenda other than in paranoid folks' heads.

Chick Young is a little Spick of a man. It annoys me so much the way he froths over the Rangers. It truly does. It shouldn't but it does.

I want my, our, team to prove each and every one of them
Wrong.

Richard Gordon, has always come over as a man that does not like us.

Preston is just a hearts tool.

The rest I have no real opine on.

I've always found Richard Gordon to be pretty reasonable - he certainly doesn't criticise Hibs as often as some on this forum.

Can we not just accept that some people have differing opinions on football and their job is to offer some.

As for Derek Ferguson - get him off the radio. The classic I heard a couple of weeks ago was "Oh, Partick have been unlucky to score their third goal." It's amazing how confusing it can be when he misses out one simple word. Obviously, Partick hadn't scored.

No, that's not the implication at all - off the top of my head I can think of Tanni Grey Thomson* who is a fabulous broadcaster; eloquent, articulate and intelligent. If a disability does not affect the job in hand then why would it be a problem, but DF is barely coherent and probably illiterate (based on his limited oral discourse - he sounds like an embarrassed Primary 2 laddie being asked to read out loud in front of the class) - would you have an leg amputee play for Hibs?

*Edit - Reg Gutteridge was decent as well.

From the US, the BT sport commentator should be fired. Every time we have played them this year there are at least 2 references to that cup game. He then spends the second half wishing a comeback for them. Dont know who he is but he has to go.makes Cliff Pike look impartial ;-)

If you mean Derek Rae then he is 100% impartial and an Aberdeen fan and not the slightest bit bias towards hearts and he's an all round good guy. One of the best commentators.

At the end of the Celtic game on Saturday Sky were doing their "next up" piece on the Derby. Presenter ".....who scored for Hibs in the 6-2 game. Sorry for mentioning that Hearts fans" So at least someone was trying to wind them up.

You know I actually like to listen to Sportsound for their coverage of the SPFL on a whole but you are so so right, when you think about it then it does feel like an incredible amount of coverage is given to Sevco, the Sheep and Yams - far more than anyone else.

I'm not championing them getting more coverage but you'd almoat understand if Celtic got it due to them being the biggest, most successful club in the Country but even theres is minute compared to the gruesome threesome, as for us, we may as well be playing in the Tazmanian amateurs League for the amount of notice given to us, the only time Hibs are deemed relevent on that show is when we're facing Hearts or Sevco or after any defeat.

We are in an incredible position though, we could be on the verge or the greatest season in my lifetime

Derek Rae for me is the best Commentator in British Football let alone Scottish, I don't feel he shows any bias at all but he does have an extensive knowledge of every team he covers and always tries to add his own wee personal touch to every team - even though he's a Dandy I'd say he is the nost unbiased reporter I've ever listened too

I like Derek Rae. Very good commentator. I'm sure he said recently on a podcast I listened to that he does have a bit of a soft spot for Hearts tho.

I think I must be in a minority of one when it comes to Derek Ferguson. I don't mind him.
He offer zero insight into the game, no tactical analysis whatsoever and generally gives the impression he has no idea what he is doing there but I think he comes across as a decent guy trying his best to make a living.
If Sportsound ever decides to get serious about Scottish Football and start offering some decent insight and analysis then obviously he would be one of the first out the door but if they are going to carry on with the current nonsense then Ferguson is one of the least offensive.

That's true but why do BBC Scotland use fee-payers money to retrain retired footballers. The one that annoys me is Craigan who spent more of the last two years of his Motherwell contract in a BBC studio than he did on the pitch. He received media training at our expense and still brings nothing as a commentator or a pundit.

I actually completely disagree with that. STV have some very decent sports journalists, and their coverage is always quite fair. They always are a bit more in depth with their stats and stuff too.

I've heard him say similar things about Celtic as he was at Love Street covering the game in 86 when the Yams bottled it up in Dundee

Again, also heard him praise Dundee Utd up countless times too

BBC tv news at 6:30 this evening didn't even mention the Edinburgh derby. Funny, but when Hearts win the derby, there's usually report and the goals are shown. Or am I just imagining this?

Tonight, it was all about St Mirren probably getting relegated, and an interview with David Van Zanten of all people. Celeb Buddies fan, Chris Brookmyre, was also on saying how St Midden had capitulated basically (sounds familiar?).

His emasculation of the English language is hilarious at times. The avoidance of saying done is particularly amusing. Clearly text night to say done when he means did, Derek knows avoids saying it all; he's did particularly well this evening.

There's nothing worse than people who, when asked to speak publicly or formally, try to use vocabulary that isn't natural to them. More often than not they'll end up sounding dafter than they really are. I much prefer people, especially from the world of football, to just be themselves and express themself as they do in everyday life. A strong accent, a bit of slang and some dodgy grammar (something of which we're probably all capable) is far better than putting on false airs and graces and failing.
