David Tanner

[kaimendhibs]

Surely Hibs can find someone better than him to front Hibs Pass?
We need a proper Hibby in there, totally biased and partisan.
Turned into Celtc tv at the end there.

Ridiculous segments in the show asking about Celtic and Rangers, questioning Collins on his opinion about Ajetti and Frimpongo, is a Hibs channel you clown

[givescotlandfreedom]

Agreed. Nonsense about the Old Firm and pandering to one off celtic fans today. Didn't help after already being annoyed at losing that lead.

[JohnM1875]

He needs to go. Totally agree.

The amount of Celtic chat involved today was embarrassing.

I'm a Hibs fan and paid for this service. Couldn't give a flying **** how 'off it Ajeti looked today'

[MB62]

Agree with all the above

[hibsmad]

I agree there was too much Celtic chat today, but surely that's not all down to David Tanner?

Its been all Hibs chat so far this season and I can't imagine him making the decision on his own to discuss the opposition more today.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is prompted to include non hibs chat I still find him very robotic and not sure how clued up he is in general about us. Small issue though I suppose.

[Speedy]

Fair enough. Don't think I've ever heard anyone call us Hibernian in real world conversation. Certainly not heard a hibby call us Hibernian

[Since90+2]

He speaks like an uncle you have that doesn't really like or know much about football but chats about it because he knows you like it.

Seems like a nice enough bloke but he's abit of a strange choice for a Hibs TV channel.

I don’t mind him. Good pro ..agree that Perhaps the production choices on topics were poor. But that won’t be all him ..

Genuine question - is he a football fan? His questions are terrible and gives the impression he doesn't know much.

[Mr Grieves]

I just can't take to him. He's very smarmy and his patter is awful.

I like everyone else that's involved and the guests have been good, especially yogi.

[green.oracle]

IMHO don't agree. He's very wooden and does not know his subject matter (Hibs then football) very well.

Surely we could have got a Hibs man to do this gig?

[The Captain....]

There's a smugness about him I cannot abide (i used to mute the tv when he was presenting on sky). Surely there are more Hibs focussed candidates who could do it.

Send him to huns tv..they will lap up his patter there.

[JohnM1875]

I haven't had any real issues at all with the product until today.

The Celtic pandering was honestly pathetic.

[Peevemor]

The Celtic pandering I can understand. I've no idea how many Celtic fans bought PPV today - say a thousand for arguments sake.

That's in £15k income where otherwise there's almost nothing coming in.

Hibs will want at least the same again later in the season.

I'd much rather Tam McManus stop being so negative during the match. That's 2 weeks running he's been very critical. He can be honest and at the same time less negative in his opinions.

[Dmas]

I thought Tam McManus was bad today as well

If I’m paying £15 as a visiting supporter to watch a home club’s PPV I’m genuinely not expecting any impartiality or any post match analysis of Hibs. Very much like paying a lot more than that to watch Hibs away as a travelling fan.

If you can’t be biased towards your favourite club on your own TV broadcast, where can you? (BBC excepted :greengrin)

[NAE NOOKIE]

This for me too. I don't mind a balanced commentary during the match, if the other side score a good goal or have a fine passage of play then by all means acknowledge it. But when it comes to the after match stuff I want to hear where Hibs did and didn't go wrong and an analysis of the whole match that concentrates on us, with replays of any goals we lost to satisfy the away fans tuning in.

That today was more like watching Sportscene than Hibs TV ... I don't give two ****s how 'dropping' two points affects Celtic. I don't care how any individual Celtic player played either. More Hibs less Celtic thanks.

I’ve watched a few games on other clubs channels and I think Cliff and Tam call it fairer than the lot of them, I think that’s the most opposing fans can hope for buying a stream from a rival club and that should be enough to encourage people to pay again, today was pandering and they’ve not done it with anyone else so far and it’s a little too cringey for my liking

[keep the faith]

I thought fraser fyfie on Don's tv was excellent when we played them the other week. He worked out hibs tactics in about 1 min and was knowledgable throughout with great observations and insights. Thats the standard we need.

[CMurdoch]

I was more concerned that it felt like the shopping channel.

It's a shame we couldn't have Jerry Sadovitz presenting instead of Tanner.
A bit of close quarters magic followed by gratuitous abuse of all and sundry would entertain and amaze.

Po faced blindingly obvious fitbaw chat interspersed with trying to sell dross every 5 minutes does my box in.

[Carheenlea]

I listen to a few Hibs podcasts and reckon the host/chair of HibsTalk would be a far better option than David Tanner.

Hibs minded discussion without any histrionics and chat about our opposition limited to brief acknowledgment. Would be a good few quid cheaper too. Give one of our own a lift up the rung of the ladder rather than line the pockets of a journeyman presenter for hire.

[The 90+2]

It annoyed me more when the music came on in the background when they scored. Tanner doesn’t like football and is a hun.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

My Celtic supporting mate signed up to PPV and he mentioned there was no Away commentary from Sellick TV or rather the coverage they got was the same we got which may explain things (rightly or wrongly) a bit?

[Lendo]

I know money is tight and every little bit is a help to Hibs, but the constant mention of sponsors for Man of the Match, match ball, whiskey sponsor, left sock sponsor*, penalty spot sponsor* was doing my head in.

(*Slight exaggeration but you get my point)

[Shrekko]

Agree with all the negative comments about this guy tbh- utterly woeful and how he’s made the career he’s had is beyond me. We’ve hired him just because he’s done national tv.

Last thing I felt like after the game was his awful wooden cheerfulness. He’s clueless about Hibs and football and all the Celtic stuff was an absolute nonsense. People really think it was somebody else telling him to ask JC what he thought of Frimpong and Ajeti etc? I doubt it.

Well not quite. I think the only time I've ever referred to Hibs as Hibernian is when explaining to an English person or non football person what club I support. In all other circumstances it's Hibs. I wouldn't imagine the folk on Hearts TV refer to them as Heart of Midlothian and I'm willing to bet the folk on Man United TV dont spend the post match analysis referring to them as Manchester United.

I would expect anybody working for the club to refer to them as Hibs, it is after all our day to day name, if you like the affectionate name for the club ....... I've known my brother Mike for 50 odd years and I cant remember the last time I ever called him Michael ..... Hibernian should be for club statements and the club badge IMO :greengrin

Tanner has been a poor choice. Do you think any of the two ugly sister would give a rats ass if a few thousand of us bought their ppv?

his comments after game felt like we were watching the usual weegie based pish that BBC orSky foist upon us. Even John Collins admitting he had t seen much of a Nisbet (our star of season so far) was galling.

It does feel that we started well with the Hibs match day stuff, putting a good bit of effort into it but now it seems to be more about getting sponsors names out there and some dull chat. I'm going to guess its a case of there simply isn't enough staff around to do everything after the cuts. I would imagine the media team is quite small atm and im guessing they have quite a bit to do. they are no doubt impacted by the lack of volunteers too

Celtic fans would have had the option of an away commentary would they not. No need for Hibs tv to cover how Celtic players played and how they lost 2 points nonsense. More than enough to talk about Hibs after that game. Many good performances they could have spoken about especially guys like Sean Mackie who was outstanding.

Apparently they didn't have an away commentary option. But that doesn't excuse all the Celtic chat! It's supposed to be a Hibs product.

At least we gave them the option to watch via PPV. They didn't even afford us that option.

Just out of interest why do you feel the need to refer to us as Hibernian as oppose to Hibs when explaining to an English person what football team you support? Being English and having lived in England virtually my entire life I would think more people here are familiar with "Hibs" than they are "Hibernian." I dont recall once ever having to explain to someone that Hibs is short for Hibernian and havent got a single friend or acquaintance that would use Hibernian before Hibs in a conversation.

Not that it really matters.

[Sir David Gray]

Tanner doesn’t commentate. Whether they had Celtic commentary or not, they would still have had the HibsTv studio pre and post match.

Not necessarily. I haven't had the home team's studio chat any time I've chosen the away commentary for any of the away matches so far - I simply get a picture of the two clubs' badges and then the Hibs TV logo for 15 minutes and then the picture restarts when the teams come back out for the second half. At full time, there's a brief summary of the match from Cliff Pike and Tam McManus and then the stream ends.

As on other threads - agreed! First half was too much and not what you expect on your own club's channel.
Found myself stepping up my encouragement for the players in response - however bizarre that is from behind the screen!!

[DavieRoy]

At the end of the day, Jamie Murphy is on loan, however technical re he will never go back to Rangers, he is on loan.

As for the coverage, I thought it was okay. John Collins has played for both, the main focus was on Hibs. I thought the Celtic situation was a part of the story yesterday. I had no problem about it being mentioned especially given the chat always can back to us. It is Hibs TV, we all watch for Hibs but I like the fact that there is two teams on the field and we acknowledged that. David and John were good.

On Tuesday, if Stevie May scores a double, I would expect the studio to mention his current upturn in form and how he has turned it around.

As for Tam, do we want people to be honest or just a box with a painted on smile that everything is okay?

Tanner is fine - a professional link man who keeps the conversation running nicely pre and post match and at HT. Plenty of Hibs centered content and comment was provided by JC and by Tam during the game - both of whom speak well, having a deep love for the Hibees which shines through but plenty enough professionalism to speak in an objective and intelligent manner. The only complaint I would have is about the sound man (if there is one). At times the volume on Tanner's mic was off the scale which was a wee bit irritating.

They wanted to make the match presentation professional and thus sent out a message to us fans that they would treat us with respect by getting a professional presenter to host the matches

Yes always saying Hibernian and his lack of passion towards us is irritating solely because it is our TV channel. He does though present well and leads the guests into focusing on the important talking points of the match,

For a club TV channel I think we have to give the club our respect for getting this right.

We are fortunate to have our own room that overlooks the pitch that can be used for presentation of a game. Maybe others don`t have such a space. I`ve often wondered why other broadcasters dont use that facility rather than lugging the portacabin about and siting it down in the corner like they do.

To find this site laughable only needs a smidgeon

While a disappointing ending the result of the weekend needs put into perspective

Post all over the shop saying get rid of half our team (plus our hibs TV presenter) obviously isnt a viable way forward

I guess fans forums arnt always the most rationale places on earth

Jeezo.....some people are just so easy to upset. I switch on Hibs TV to watch the game, I’m just glad it’s been some light relief for missing out on going to ER. The club are delivering a decent production, I don’t find David Tanner any worse/better than the vast majority of sports presenters out there. Then again, maybe I just don’t moan for moanings sake🤔

At the end of the day, Jamie Murphy is on loan, however technical re he will never go back to Rangers, he is on loan.

As for the coverage, I thought it was okay. John Collins has played for both, the main focus was on Hibs. I thought the Celtic situation was a part of the story yesterday. I had no problem about it being mentioned especially given the chat always can back to us. It is Hibs TV, we all watch for Hibs but I like the fact that there is two teams on the field and we acknowledged that. David and John were good.

On Tuesday, if Stevie May scores a double, I would expect the studio to mention his current upturn in form and how he has turned it around.

As for Tam, do we want people to be honest or just a box with a painted on smile that everything is okay?

This---they trying to make it look professional, and to be somewhat objective. The number of wild mood swings on this site every time we go a goal down, its a bit rich to complain about commentators not being 100% pro-Hibs
