Even Craig Patterson was engulfed by the tripe being spewed by Preston and that Rangers fud McLean.
Hibs get a controversial penalty and it's the end of the world. Well at least it was inside the box!!

[weecounty hibby]

Get it right up you! :giruy2:
👍👍👍 it is turning into a radio equivalent of a jambo fanzine. Slate Hibs at every turn, openly laugh at our players, question decisions when they go in our favour, ignore the multitude of pens that the yams and Huns get, witch hunt against Garry O, the list goes on. ****ing amateurs that we are unfortunately having our licence fees keep in a standard of living that most can only dream about. On aye let's not forget free football every week and foreign trips for internationals and Euro games. They are an embarrassment

I switched on for the second half after coming in from work. Dreadful monotone commentary about 3 seconds behind what's actually happening. Add that roaster Preston and that's me back to following via Twitter and SSN. Forth2 far superior last season.

[Barney McGrew]

The irony of Preston whining about Hibs being given a dubious penalty when Hertz get one every week is breathtaking.

Welt.

[gaz1875]

They said they were all at the other end of the stadium so may not have seen the challenge clearly, but it was definitely never a penalty WTF :confused:

Definitely was a penalty

The ref gave it and we scored

[The Harp Awakes]

Had to turn the radio off half way through the 2nd half. Couldn't stand listening to their bias and drivel any more.

The hypocrisy of the BBC pundits has no limit. When you think about all the dodgy decisions the OF, and particularly old hun/new hun, have had over the years and it barely raises a mention. Add this to their love affair with the media darlings Aberdeen, and it really does want to make you puke every time you hear them:brickwall

what time do they turn up, before a match to set up their biased commentary position? :cb

[heretoday]

I didn't think they were too bad! McLean is an awful bore of course but Craig Paterson is pretty fair and even Preston was saying a lot of good things about Hibs. Why would the BBC be biased against Hibs?

[Hiber-nation]

:agree: It's not the BBC, as a broadcaster, which is biased against Hibs. How can an institution as large and diverse as the BBC be biased against a particular Scottish football club, whether it's Hibs or any other club for that matter? That's nonsense.

It's some of the people they employ, such as Preston, who cannot hide their bias against Hibs. Preston is just an insignificant wee cog in a very big wheel who happens to anger Hibs fans with his biased commentaries.

Why they are biased is totally irrelevent. The facts speak for themselves. A number of their pundits openly, consistently and continually ridicule, criticise and put down Hibs, more so than any other team in Scotland - fact. If there was any balance in their standards, these morons would be hauled up for their pettiness, but they're not. Silence and lack of reaction by their editors and producers says it all for me.

[Vini1875]

It all evens out over the course of a season. Is that the usual line when we are denied a penalty? Well it partly evened up tonight :na na:

BBC Sport sound is as biased as you can get 👍🏼 Thankfully I don't have to listen to it much and as for the BBC it's full of peado's and should have been taken off air years ago with its chronic programmes and hugely over priced licence.

God that felt good.

I found myself getting more than a little agitated at the start of the programme when all the talk was aimed at suggesting Alan Stubbs' coat was on a shaky peg. It really annoyed me that the presenters were making a big thing about the pressure being on AS to get promoted this year and failure to do that would get him his jotters. WTF! we are only a quarter of the way through the season but it struck me that they are desperate to be as negative as possible about Hibs and to do everything they can to undermine the great work being done at ER. After the game it was the reverse inasmuch as they couldn't contain their desire to make the point that referee mistakes can lead to managers being sacked. But that was of course in support of Houston.

Normally I am one of those rare people that actually enjoy the stupidity and banter of the Sportsound Team but last night was a step too far for me.

It's the fact that presenters encourage Preston to be biased and say witty banter type things about Hibs which would be fair enough if that was how they treated everybody.

Could you imagine Richard Gordon encouraging Murdo to take the mick out of Rangers or Derek Ferguson encouraged to have snide remarks about Celtic?

Preston doesn't realise he is being patronised, encouraged to act like a court jester he not only belittles himself but Edinburgh football in general.

The most annoying part of the after match analysis was that there was no discussion of the game itself and whether we deserved to win. I don't listen to it anymore as i find it so cringeworthingly embarrassing. Their bias against hibs is now funny as it shows just how poor the are at their job. If any commentator on match of the day showed that intense dislike of an epl team the phone lines would go ballistic and the offender quickly dropped. Only in this bigoted,ignorant country is this tripe allowed to be broadcast. God knows how bad it will be when we are back in the spell.

[Onion]

My issue with BBC Sportsound is that it was the only way to listen to this match, free of charge - and it was genuinely painful. It's reasonable to expect some interesting, balanced broadcasting but instead we were subjected to dull, monotoned, disinterested claptrap for the first 30 mins. The commentators sounded like they wanted to be anywhere other than at a Falkirk v Hibs match, despite it being key for both teams (this happened to coincide with Hibs best spell in the game).

That all changed when Hibs were awarded the penalty. After that, Preston and Gordon simply used the show to vent their dislike for the referee and acted like aggrieved teenage fanboys - mocking Hibs players and tactics at every opportunity. Handing their show over to Falkirk fans at HT was utterly ridiculous. Towards the end, they were salivating at the thought of Houston's reaction, but in fairness to him he was relatively calm and restrained, which you could sense upset the Sportsound interviewer.

If there was any decent, objective competition, Sportsound would be dead as a show or have to be honest and rebrand itself as OF Radio. Terrible show.

[Greencore]

Why the hell did they go round the stadium at halftime asking the Falkirk fans if it was a penalty?! Can you imagine if this was at the the Rangers game? I wonder why they haven't done that there........ Haha

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

I took out a subscription on Hibs Radio last night for the first time even knowing it was free on the BBC, that's how bad I rate them.

Just a wee ask to the Hibs commentator (can't mind his name) please take yer mooth away from the mic when clearing your throat! :aok:

[Diclonius]

Every media report of the game focuses on "oh it was a contentious penalty, dodgy penalty there, that was a soft penalty eh, Hibs got lucky with that penalty."

I don't recall this level of hysteria EVER happening for ANY of Hearts/Rangers' 37471947195902 penalties this season.

****ing ridiculous.

[worcesterhibby]

easy answer, subscribe to Hibs TV..money to the club..Hibs biased commentary..simples

[Danderhall Hibs]

Stubbs' post match interview was decent. When asked about the contentious decision he asked "which one? When David Gray was pushed over and no penalty was given?"

[Danderhall Hibs]

They even thought it was a penalty, that's how fair they are. :agree:

[Borderhibbie76]

Bang on.

Absolutely, I listened to the pre match interview with Stubbs think it was fat kenny mac the yam interviewing. His question was along the lines of Alan, will it be disastrous if Hibs dont win promotion this year?? Imean really, why would you ask that 10 games into a season...ridiculous question dealtwith superbly by Stubbsy who simply replied "ask me again at the end of the season"

[ekhibee]

Some excellent points, particularly by SM and Onion. I can't stand Preston, but he's definitely encouraged to buy into the over-sensationalist pro-Hearts bias by people like Gordon, McLaughlin and McIntyre, although he doesn't take much persuading obviously. The standard of football analysis on Sportsound is very poor IMO, very often it doesn't give a true reflection of the game at all, but often it is the only nationwide broadcaster that is covering the game, so you don't have much choice but to listen to it and read between the lines. They therefore have an open forum to express their biasses at any time they choose without any fear of recrimination. A good example of that is the coverage they gave to Neilson mumping openly about Willie Collum, while not even balancing the discussion by mentioning Hearts pretty woeful disciplinary record over their last few seasons in the SPFL or the amount of dubious decisions they get in their favour at Tynecastle. Can't see it changing soon TBH, but that's just my opinion.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Whilst the constant digs at Hibs don't really get to me, the fact that they don't actually commentate on the games annoys the hell out of me. I want them to describe what's going on in the pitch even if it's very little but all we get is 2 hours of them talking sheeit and barely anything about the game! I remember in the old days listening to football commentary and being able to visualise the game in my head with the descriptions given, not now, but maybe that's my head!

I thought it was a live commentary last night? Did they do an Open all Mics to cover the 2 matches?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Presumable Mr Connor is no longer? Can anyone determine who the editor is?

http://www.allmediascotland.com/broadcasting/17967/sportsound-picks-up-a-sony/

Was in response to the slump in listeners ..
http://m.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/radio-scotland-losing-1-500-listeners-a-week-1-789294

My take is they are taking a more commercial stance to attract and retain listeners (positioning prior to the rethink on the license fee?) Being deliberately controversial attracts eyeballs listeners. And there's no skill required just listen to that Katie Hopkin.

But as public broadcasters their remit should be to be balanced.

[PatHead]

It was commentary on the radio from our game with occasional "Nothing is happening at Ibrox" for good measure.

Thats what I am saying, it was meant to be a live commentary on the game and what was going on in the game was mentioned occasionally, it is frustrating to say the least. I can't listen to OAMs now, it's like audible ipecac :greengrin

I'm finished with these holes Hibs radio from now on !

[O'Rourke3]

I usually have the radio on OAM when watching. Interesting the difference in sumariding. Willie Millar vs Morton - nothing happening terrible game no shots on goal etc. Charlie Mann vs Dumbarton. All Hibs. Good open game. Entertaining. What these guys should be doing is talking the game up not letting everyone think its misery from the off.....

Sent via the bushes @ EM

[Northern Hibby]

Biased meh! OTT reaction to a soft penalty decision, guilty!

[FranckSuzy]

To me, the issue is that Sportsound is 'made' by a public-service broadcaster. If it were a commercial radio station and the listening figures dropped/complaints were constantly being sent in, they would act. As it is, they probably enjoy the controversy and lap up our protests :rolleyes:

[c31]

Alan Stubbs is the guest in the studio tonight I hear...

[ancient hibee]

An old codger writes-radio football commentaries were much better when there was only one commentator who actually told you what was happening-nowadays when there are two it's like two people nattering away without watching the game.As for TV games I watch them with the sound up loud enough for the crowd noise but without having to listen to the commentary.We should remember that one of the problems with Sportsound is the policy of employing explayers who couldn't cut in the game after they retired and are also unable to speak properly.

[emerald green]

" Aw naw, he's given the penalty" Preston last night.

I've said exactly the same, many times, when terrible penalties have been awarded against Hibs.

The problem with Preston though is that nobody will believe for a second that his words / reaction would have been exactly the same if the penalty had been awarded to Falkirk. I could imagine him sneakily punching the air, with a big grin on his silly fat face, if it had been given to Falkirk.

[Golden Bear]

Absolutely no mention of last night's victory on Reporting Scotland but of course there was footage of the rangers victory over Livvy. Why am I not surprised?

[cabbageandribs1875]

stubbsy made a good point in his interview last night, why no 4th official at last nights game ? only two games on in scotland and they couldn't send a 4th official to a pretty important game ?

Yes.

Last night was the first time I'd listened. I wouldn't have thought we'd get that much coverage, given that we are in the first.

Stubbs coming across well. As has been said, why is this issue never mentioned on sportsound on the multiple occasions when Hibs are the victims? Talk about Craig Thomsons stats versus hibs ffs!

One thing is for sure with all this mock outrage in the media about last night's penalty decision we won't get a pen against Raith or Rangers even if our player is decapitated in the box.

In the more recent past we had Alistair Alexander and David Begg both excellent commentators backed up by the ever knowledgeable Bob Crampsey who didn't need an excuse to eulogise the Hibs, Hearts, Dundee or Kilmarnock teams of the 50s and 60s. That's only about 15 years ago but Sportsound is on another level these days.....

Correct! They will quite happily discuss "Stubbs's future at Hibs" though! Wish someone would ask them what "Warbs" should do if he doesn't get them promoted this season... I think they'd all self combust! Bunch of absolute amateurs.

[Alex Trager]

I think it makes it sweeter when we do win.

It doesn't bother me a great deal.

I just think of how good it is that we have annoyed them by beating Aberdeen. Or by getting a dodgy penalty.
It's clear that it has wound them up.

I enjoy that.

He was the Rob McLean of his day. Mogadon Man.

Rob McLean.

Correct! They will quite happily discuss "Stubbs's future at Hibs" though! Wish someone would ask them what "Warbs" should do if he doesn't get them promoted this season... I think they'd all self combust! Bunch of absolute amateurs.

Thought he was away to Villa anyway. Surely Bruce Langham can put a good word in for him ;)

Great commentator. As for Rob McLean , it's like listening to someone commentating on the 2 o'clock at Mortonhall.
Monodrone man

It's about to start again. The sensible thing would be not to listen I suppose...Richard Gordon is at todders with loudmouth Liam McLeod, and Biscuits at "the best atmosphere in scotland" ie Tynecastle. We have Derek Ferguson reporting from Kirkcaldy, who sounds like he's made too many headed clearances in his career...

Listening to open all mics for second half. Derek 'teddy bear' Ferguson was delighted that Raith got a goal back and was willing an equaliser. He called out 4 penalty shouts and said 'Raith players are falling all over in the box' but the referee just won't give them a penalty (as it was a travasty). Then we get 8 mins injury time when 4 announced and he is beside himself just praying for an equaliser which will help The Huns. And then final whistle and it's all serious again and doom and gloom. Then Richard Gordon Is almost dismissive of the game as per usual.

Meanwhile prat Preston is wetting himself at Tynecastle and its the usual sheep fest with the Aberdeen game full of blatant dons lovers.

Other than Craig Paterson do Sportsound employ anyone with some Hibs links (not Murdo MacLeod).

But we won so GIRUY.

Maybe when we get promoted and are doing well in the SPFL these nasty Sportsound folk will like us more.

Is Preston a agent or just a prick who works for the anti Hibs BBC Brigade.

Used to say the same aboot Gordon Smith. There's a conflict of interests there without a doubt.

The fact they put a fat squeaky voiced yam to cover the Hearts game says it all.

If I was a County fan I'd be raging with said fat squeaky voiced yam screaming "yeeeessss" when the second went in. Thought BBC Sport Scotland was meant to be professional?

[Aldo]

It could well be. Who in their right mind would want him as an agent?


Ban the fat yam twat from ER!

Open all mikes is meant to be a light hearted way of reporting from various games. The fact that we are talking about them means people are tuning in. Best way to effect them is not to listen. The BBC are a fine institution and one radio show does not change that

Put it on during Falkirk game midweek and had to switch it off, I don't mind Preston having a bit Hibs/Hearts banter but he was slavering pish that Stubbs will be sacked at end of this season if we don't go up!! What a load of nonsense, I doubt there is 1 Hibs fan that thinks we should be getting rid of Stubbs.

If we don't go up this year and there's no league reconstruction then we'll defo go up next year.

Preston is a tool!!

Why go out and speak with the Falkirk Fans at HT and ask about the penalty.

Why would you do that??

No time for any of them whatsoever with their Yam/Sheep love in and their constant anti Hibs comments.

Yeah I'm all for banter but their comments are just out of order.
