The Sportscene Thread

[JimBHibees]

Just finished watching the highlights on catch up. Yer bang on mate, he stopped just short of shouting c'mon the Gers, it was like he was commentating on a Scottish team in an away tie in Europe FFS.

Incredible Rob McLean was trying to make a case for Gray being sent off for 2 booking including one I couldnt even remember which was hugely selective editing. Pretty sure they were trying to do the same in the st mirren match a few weeks back. No mention of Morelos antics, trying to say the ball hitting Milligans hand was a pen, morelos claimed for it so it must have been. Bizarrely missed McNulty's shot when through v McGregor. Ryan Jack may as well just take the whistle and be done with it.

I had the misfortune to listen to Rob Mcleans commentary of the Dundee Celtic game in the car today. The man has been doing the same, simple job of watching a football match and telling others what is happening in said game, and he's not only terrible at his job but he seems to be getting worse. He just has no interest in painting any kind of picture of the game at all, he just rambles on about stuff he'd prepared beforehand which everyone knows already ('Celtic would really like the three points today' , 'What Dundee really want to avoid is conceding an early goal') and literally any old ***** that comes to his head.

Johnathan 'The Hills Have Eyes' Sutherland has a strange coupon but hes an upgrade on McLean. Its improved in that respect.

Rob McLean`s commentary is dull and projected with little in the way of enthusiasm. I know a lot of folk are not keen on Liam McLeod, but at least he gives the impression that he is enjoying commentating on his games.

[Lago]

Just watched Neil Lennon's celebration at the Celtic goal, pretty content that we have Heckingbottom at Hibs now!!

[Kaff]

Lot of empty seats at Ibrox for a 49000 crowd, wonder if Richard Gordon will comment on that next Sportsound, mocked Hibs for stating 17k on Sat.
Happens at every club so everyone needs to cool their jets about it

[Billy Whizz]

Classy McGregor as usual. Goldson commits a bad challenge, and McGregor tries to boot the ball at the Killie player who was fouled

I was in car for first 5 minutes of our game v Rangers last Friday. McLean was commentating that night and he was blethering on about anything apart from the game. I wasn’t aware the game had kicked off and then he said “so 2 minutes gone and it’s still nil nil”. Hadnt described one bit of action. He should listen to Five Live or talksport to see how it’s done.

He's a man with nothing to say. He's got a new one as well 'Celtic (insert any team) are dominating the ball'
He thinks it makes him sound tactically astute so now says it all the time when a teams in possession. Means he doesn't have to give any details about players, area of pitch, etc.

Noticed that the other week...can’t remember what game he was meant to be commentating on but he was basically having a general chit chat with his co commentator about something vaguely football related for a good 15 minutes.

Occasionally he would interrupt the discussion to give a brief update on who had the ball and a vague interpretation of where that possession was before carrying on mumbling about something else altogether.

Turned it off soon after as it became rather apparent that he was completely disinterested in actually describing any of the action.

All rather odd really.

[hibsbollah]

Just heard that now. Just odd. Is it a 'shes a woman so...' thing?

Dreadful game as well.

[Besties Debut]

Just heard that now. Just odd. Is it a 'shes a woman so...' thing? I thought it was a bit condescending. Almost as bad as Patrice Evra clapping his hands in the England women captains face when she made a tactical analysis during the last world cup when they were both studio guests.

[JimBHibees]

Just heard that now. Just odd. Is it a 'shes a woman so...' thing?

Seems an odd thing to say, no doubt some super funny sportscene in joke. She should be treated with more respect than that as she is an excellent coach and communicates very well.

[Jones28]

How poor was the ref in the rangers game? Some absolutely humming decisions, or lack of decisions as it were.

[Lago]

Dreadful game as well.
Sports scene, rename it old firm scene for the sake of accuracy.

[Carheenlea]

Each time I watch Sportscene I’m glad of my Hibs TV subscription. The measly highlights are barely worth tuning in for, particularly when Michael Stewart is basing his punditry on the couple of minutes footage broadcast. If you were in attendance at the game yourself you would learn absolutely nothing more than you already took on board the previous afternoon.

[Danderhall Hibs]

How poor was the ref in the rangers game? Some absolutely humming decisions, or lack of decisions as it were.

I thought he got most right - obviously missed a booking for Kent, a red for Goldson but got all the yellows right and was looking the other way when Broadfoot and Morelos had their altercation.

I think the SFA guidance to refs is to face the opposite direction from Morelos though so he probably got that right in their eyes.

Thats 2 games on the bounce he should have been sent off, should have walked against Aberdeen in the cup for a kick late on.

Can't be true. Slippy G says the other teams kick them off the park.

I can’t stand the guy and agree he should have been carded for the retaliation incident with Broadfoot. However, nobody seemed to want to comment on Broadfoots sneaky stamp on Morelos’s heel as they walked off.

[Since452]

Sportscene is much better now it has moved to a new channel. Much more content.

[JimBHibees]

I was referring to Goldson, havent seen the highlights of Killie game was referring to the red he should have got v Aberdeen in cup tie.

[Danderhall Hibs]

They mentioned it on sportscene last night. He got away with it cos the refs don’t want Morelos in their eyeline.

[Carheenlea]

Longer highlights of Old Firm.

[SaulGoodman]

Can't be true. Slippy G says the other teams kick them off the park.

I listened to his post match interview and thought he came over as a sore loser and bitter but, to be fair, after watching the highlights Killie did basically kick lumps out of them all game.

Kent should have been off for the retaliation imo - similar to the
Jankouskas red in the unbeatable derby.

Goldson deffo should've been off.

Agree the couldn't have seen the Morelos/Broadfoot incident - wonder if they will apply retrospective action?

Does it do the Match of the Day thing where it doesn't tell you the scores beforehand? If so then that's fantastic and I may just wait for it to come on and avoid the Hibs result if we're at an away game I can't make.

[Nutmegged]

I don't think comms have a say in that to be fair, for the record I don't listen to either.

[hibsbollah]

In reference to betting, that's the world we're in though. All my favourite football podcasts are all sponsored by betting companies now, tipsters on the same panel as pundits, everything is geared towards encouraging us to think of betting and sports as irrevocably linked. Personally, I hate it.

But it's only BBC Scotland has a special breed of commentator who just can't tell you what's actually happening in a game. I can't stand Alan Green on five live, he comes across as a miserable old curmudgeon, but I'm always confident he's telling me accurate stuff about the game.

[BILLYHIBS]

Oh for a David Francey or Alastair Alexander

Actually thought David Begg was good, enthusiastic and you could tell he enjoyed the games and seemed to describe the action pretty well. Rob sounds like he would rather be anywhere else, could maybe join him with Mark Lawrenson just to kill off any enthusiasm.

Highlights are on

[Hibeesmad]

Steve Clarke's comments were a good laugh. Got too admire the guys honesty. Said that McLean's performance was the worst he has seen in his career and reckons McLean shouldn't be refereeing Killie games because his dad played for them. Then went in a bit more personal and brought up the fact he isn't any longer on the FIFA ref list etc.

Also thought St Mirren took a really good crowd through to Livi. Dundee look doomed.

[Sylar]

McLean had an absolute shocker this weekend. How Cosgrove stays on the park, then he goes on to send off 3 Killie players (2 of them incredibly soft I thought) is laughable!

[mjhibby]

Totally agree. The worst thing was not booking Cosgrove second time then sending off findlay for a very similar tackle. Too many refs rushing to send players off these days. I don't know if they feel they might get into trouble with their bosses if they don't but McLean totally ruined that game. Pity as he has been one of the best.

I don't think Findlay and Cosgrove's second tackles were at all similar. Findlay got the ball and a booking. Cosgrove took the man out late and got a talking to.

[JeMeSouviens]

This had passed me by, but Dundee fans had a wee campaign against McLean over his alleged Killie bias because he gave the penalty against Dundee that slowmo later revealed was a Jordan Jones dive.

https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-fans-group-writes-to-top-officials-over-referee-steven-mcleans-links-to-kilmarnock/

So he may have been overcompensating, subconsciously or otherwise?

Anyway, don't listen to them Stevie, we'll always have Hampden ... :hug:

[JeMeSouviens]

Haha, this is brilliant - Kilmarnock statement from last October following the Dundee whinge. :greengrin


The original correspondence from the DSA to the SFA and Mr Fleming expressing concern over the suitability of Steven McLean to take charge of Kilmarnock matches was completely baseless and cast unfounded aspersions on the referee’s character.

Editing of that show is a shambles selective focus. Apparently hecky should be reported while defoes assault on Aberdeen goalie ignored. Same as Scott brown fouls ignored total joke with the usual protection of old firm players. Rangers penalties both a total joke.

[jax67]

They neglected to show the stone wall penalty on McNulty.

[Danderhall Hibs]

They neglected to show the stone wall penalty on McNulty.

I don’t think that was a penalty. I was surprised they didn’t show the countless fouls by Uche though - enough to warrant more than 1 red card for persistent fouling.

[BlackSheep]

I find sportscene’s coverage of every game bar the old form to be not a fair reflection of the games at all... tired of the first ‘highlight’ being around 20-30 mins into each game, while there are countless points worth discussion before the first shot on goal! They just gloss over most games’ important points to give more time to the old firm... it’s BBC Scotland for effs sake not BBC Glasgow!!!

[Joe6-2]

What was their take on the ‘penalties’ awarded to the hun?

Aye I felt they brushed over it, sky sports news showed it so thought it would be discussed. Disappointing as it was a red card to me, got a history of injuring keepers, lovely lad and great pro plus all the good work he does with charity but undermines that a little with these antics.

They neglected to show the stone wall penalty on McNulty.

I had a good view of it - it wasn't a penalty. McNulty mis-hit his first touch and then stumbled over a Jambo defender who wasn't in his way. If the Jambo wasn't there, he'd have been running away from the ball!

[Smartie]

Great tackle as well. Worth 5 million?

It was a great tackle but I thought the guy was absolutely shambolic for the rest of the game.

On another day his howlers alone could have been punished by 3 or 4 goals.

Maroon defenders need to focus on lumping the ball up the park to whichever journeyman target man they happen to have in their employ at that time, and leave playing football to people who are capable.

Seemingly quite a lot of sectarian and vile songs sung at the game today, will be interesting to see if it’s discussed tonight
Didn’t see much of the game on Sky, did they discuss it?

Loud and clear sectarian songs sung within the first five minutes of the game starting. Carpet, meet brush.

[BILLYHIBS]

They did touch on Sectarianism by mentioning the problem that Scottish football cannot seem to get rid of

Until the old firm are punished it won't be fixed. Whether the media or them like it or not, they are the two focal points for sectarianism in this country. If they were stioped the rest would soon follow suit.

You can’t punish them when there is no rule to hold them to. Our club is one of many that don’t want there to be a rule.

Loud and clear sectarian songs sung within the first five minutes of the game starting. Carpet, meet brush.

No mention of it in the BBC match report at all.

The Scotsman covers it but hilariously states in their article "It’s not the first instance of sectarian abuse at a Scottish match this term" as if this isn't a weekly occurrence!

As you say sweep sweep nothing to see here.

[Fife-Hibee]

There were rules. Unionist parties (who rely on votes from these people) along with the Greens didn't want them anymore, so voted to have them scrapped. The "party songs" have become increasingly more prominent since.

[Danderhall Hibs]

They didn’t turn a blind eye - they mentioned it but no one wants to sort it. Sutherland, Thompson and Stewart can’t do anymore than say it happened.

If you mean the flawed legislation introduced by the SNP which unfairly penalised football fans whilst ignoring that we already had laws in place to deal with this if used then there were plenty of people who were neither Unionist or Green who wanted it scrapped.
Am alliance of Unionists and Greens are to blame for sectarian singing? Your best yet. :greengrin

[ancient hibee]

Fantasy.The ‘rules’were in fact a law which did not punish a club but meant that police time would be wasted trying to arrest and charge 25000 supporters.Unenforceable.The reason that there are no ‘rules’is that none of the clubs want them.The SNP are certainly never going to bring in a law to punish the clubs.Too many votes at stake.

[hfc rd]

Evens itself out in the end.

Middleton never touched Bauer in their box, who slipped and Ntcham should have been sent off.

End of the day, ref was horrendously bad.

Yes

What should’ve the outcome been?

[hibee_girl]

What should’ve the outcome been?

Well it wasn’t a foul so he shouldn’t have blown for one, play should have just continued

Middleton in on goals?

[BILLYHIBS]

Pundits views on yesterday’s game:

Doidge 1mm offside

Celtic defender Bauer slips never a Celtic free kick in their own box

It was a foul on Forrest in the build up to the goal

Hecky did not agree

Referee did not make it clear exactly what the decision was

Poor HIBS defending at the goal

Nicham Shudda been sent off

Vela should never have been booked

Celtic should have had at least one penalty out of their two claimed

A point was a fair result

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Would have liked to know their opinion on the 4th official making the decision

I can’t honestly say I’ve seen that before

Plus never showed the second Scott Brown decision when he easily could have got a second yellow

[BILLYHIBS]

[theonlywayisup]

Was a bit frustrated by McGlauchlin's questions to Hecky.

"Should Celtic have had two penalties" or something like that from Brian.

Hecky replies "They should have been down to 10 men by that stage".

Then Brian, who obviously spotted the penalty incidents, replies dumbly "who should have been sent off Paul".

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Or the cynical trip on Lewis Stevenson by Bauer as he drifted past him

Agreed

[jingler1954]

Or the pull back on Scott Allan when he was clean through.

The 4th official was Nick Walsh, the ref who failed to send the Newco CH off for a last man tackle on the Livi player midweek. Cheating, in my eyes of the highest order. If that had been the other way round a straight red for the livi player. Controversial comment maybe but why are the refs getting away with these decisions week in week out without being held to account?

Ntcham and the Newco CH incidents are examples of this. Very simple and easy decisions to make yet they bottle it and fail to do their jobs!

But I genuinely don’t think it’s a lack of bottle, it’s just good old fashioned incompetence. Take Saturday for example, two penalties denied for Celtic but we would have had the cheats argument if they’d been given. The free kick that lead to their goal should not have been allowed to happen the way it happened, the players were unaware of the decision. Ntcham should have been sent off and Middleton should have had a free shot at goal after Bauer slipped. So many things going against both teams just screams of being a ***** ref.

Neil Lennon back to being the torn face disaster that opposition fans love to hate greetin for the penalties he never got. 😂

My view after a close look is Ntcham should have been off and the Christie one is a foul the other one nothing much in it.

[green with envy]

What you are saying is when you go to ground when tackling in the box and on this occasion don't make contact with the ball but instead with the player that it is not a pen. I'm referring to Stevenson, BTW.:confused:

[Peevemor]

[monarch]

Yes, the super vigilant jobsworth fourth official must have been really angry with himself that he missed the Scott Brown lunge :rolleyes:

[PPZPOL]

It was refreshing to see the guy for Spurs being sent off within minutes for 2 yellow cards. It seems in Scotland that if you get booked you can then commit another 15 fouls and you’ll more than likely never be booked again or actually get a free kick given against you as the ref knows that he then has to send you off. The easy way out is to not give the fouls. They need to stop thinking if someone is already booked and make their decisions based on that it’s wrong. A booking is a booking whether you do it 2 seconds after you’ve been booked or 89 minutes later.

Also, the clear sign of an incompetent ref is booking 2 players over an incident where one is the aggressor and the other is passive. Rather than a red for one ad nothin for the other they seem to think a booking for each is the answer.

Hopeless, I hate saying it but you can say with some confidence that Kevin Clancy has never kicked a ball in his life. Just doesn’t understand the game at all (the Bauer slip being the biggest example, you can tell how he is running towards the ball he is going to be off balance and could possibly slip), I sit in the FF upper and seen it happening from there.

The second one, absolutely agree. I think by the letter of the law he could have given it regardless of the ball having gone, but in reality those decisions in the box, where the ball has left the foot, contact has been made after the event and the play has continued, are almost never given.

The Stevenson one, a clear pen and we dodged a bullet there. But I think he chose not to give it because of the shocking mistakes he'd already made favouring them first half.

He was absolutely shocking and almost everything went in Celtics favour. Lennon is spraffing ***** and deflecting from his sides inability to break us down, unsurprisingly.

I think Horgan's was very much like one where a player is on the touchline and clears it while someone is challenging them - sometimes they're given and sometimes (more times) they're not.

For the first one, I think Lewis gets studs to the ball - the replay with Lewis closest to the camera evidences that.

Simply, the officials are cheats.

Im 46. I cannae believe how often officials are, "incompetent". Even more so how many of these incompentencies have gone against us.

No penalties either imho.

[sean04]

I know it wouldn’t have altered the game but Bauer hack at Stevenson when he was booked could’ve been a red. There’s professional fouls I.e shirt pulls, wee trips etc that was unnecessary hack. I don’t see much difference between portos red card against Killie during the week

I'm somewhere between those two points of view. We were starting to get back into the game at 2-1 but completely fell apart after the red card.

That was the time for shoring up the defence but Hecky inexplicably put another striker on.

[sean04]

It would have been very harsh on Hibs had penalties been awarded in any of those incidents none of which were goal scoring chances bcos Celtic had already played the ball bfore contact was made. Dusappointed in pundits attitudes as they never mentioned that fact clearly showing bias. Just as well we never rate their opinions anyway.

no difference at all unless it for or against us it would appear

St Johnston guy does mcginn last year yellow
Bauer boy does it to Lewis only a yellow
Macgregor (Celtics one) does Allan on Saturday only a yellow

Stevenson played him on at pther side of 6 yard box.

I saw this mentioned earlier but had another look at it and don't think that he did at all. As said above though glad the penalty shout was dismissed on sportscene. The BT pundits were determined it was a foul even after seeing it back

Some strike by Lee Irwin did well to recover and showed a lot of tenacity and composure to tuck the rebound away for Ross County’s winner

Looks a good signing for them

I also enjoyed St Johnstone’s winner versus Hearts it was greatly deserved

Stendel blaming the fans already 😂

What did he say? I read something on KB about him asking for the support of the fans and assumed they were being their usual obnoxious selves.

Difficult to translate his pidgeon English was not great something along the lines of negativity from the stands and that the fans should get behind the team

Sound familiar?

Got ma popcorn ready for Hamilton versus Hearts on Saturday

He did not inspire confidence though early days

This could get messy. :greengrin

His analysis of Hearts was very good I thought

[BILLYHIBS]

Marvin Bartley a guest on the show tonight

Bad news HIBS down to seventh

Good news Hearts three points adrift at the bottom

Might make them dangerous going into Thursday

Well worth a catch up

Brilliant goal and assist for Mickel Miller Hamilton v Hearts

Couple of assists for Marvin Bartley

[Waxy]

Liked the question to Big Marv.
ST Whos going to win the derby?
Marv Hibs.

Top notch unstoppable Hamilton team goal finished by Miller

Marv showing skills this season that we didn't see at Hibs.
A big part of their success.

Says it was a stonewaller when Hallberg dragged down Uche in the box first half so much so that Uche didn’t complain and neither did his yam buddies

[BILLYHIBS]

Jonathan Sutherland only mentioned the war the once but I think he got away with it 😁

I don’t think it was a stonewaller at all.....

The big huddy was always throwing himself back, Hallberg was trying to hold his ground but the big lump fell back on him.

Uche has a big hold on Hallberg’s shirt and pulls him down, the ref got it spot on.

Should have been booked for diving.

First time I've saw the hghlights, lovely goals, but we really need to close players down quicker to avoid the ball getting into our box. We got a touch lucky on a couple of occassions second half. Good job their strikers are pretty poor.
