Sportsound

[Wilson]

Absolutely nothing on the BBC Sport site about the game today, not even team news, and Sportsound doesn't even start until 15 mins before kick off. If this was the OF they'd have already been on for an hour.

Just caught up on the derby podcast, Richard Gordon says in the first five minutes that Bushiri has had a “calamitous” season so far…anyone able to clarify to what calamities he’s referring?

The way Richard Gordon talks about Bushiri, implying that he is a comedy character that only exists for the mocking value of him and his sportsound chums and is a farcical footballer, is exactly the same way he spoke about Dom Malonga. Even after the latter ragdolled his beloved dandies.

I would guess it's to do with being played when suspended?

He may have used the wrong word, but perhaps was referring to the fact that Rocky played in a match he was suspended.

I think he used the wrong word, but he won't have been describing his play, as that has been completely fine.

I would suggest the evidence is contrary to his assertion and that his views on Bushiri are driven by journalisms institutional racism where a non-white central defender is a bombscare.

When did he last attatch that description to a white player?

I remember Gordon mocking Benji at ER just before he scored against Hearts at ER to put Hibs 2-1 up. That shut him up but his comments reeked of his anti Hibs and racism.

Bushiri has been fine this season, widely agreed. As has been said, he had the same weird downer on Malonga for months without noticing that Malonga was actually mostly on fire. He's a weirdo.

Heavy lashings of xenophobia, racism and and hive mind think. Stewart was questioning our foreign players the other day whilst praising Aberdeen's ambition.

They all have that Jambo smirk about anything we do. Weirdos.

If we add Sol Bamba to the list,Gordon is now a quinteted prick.

im sure he said "in many ways a calamitous'

[hibsbollah]

You can't accuse a single person of institutional anything, it doesnt make sense.

But its fair to say Richard Gordon makes player judgements based on lazy stereotypes, including racial ones. He's got plenty of history. He just hasn't been caught out saying anything egregious like Big Ron Atkinson was.

[KeithTheHibby]

I just think Richard Gordon is an ignorant twat, nothing more nothing less.

[EVENTUALLY]

I just think Richard Gordon is an ignorant twat, nothing more nothing less.
Always remember Richard Gordon roaring with laughter when Hibs went a goal down in about 14 seconds to a Cowdenbeath goal in a Scottish Cup tie a few years ago on their open goal broadcast. He was absolutely delighted and could not contain his joy at Hibs predicament only to be totally deflated as Leigh Griffiths steered Hibs to a 5 something win.

[Jones28]

im sure he said "in many ways a calamitous'

Yepp that was it; if he specifically mentioned the issue with his suspension I could understand but to suggest he’d had a nightmare start to the season is what i found confusing.

It’s more than ignorance imo.

Yet again showing his ignorance of hibs. I really tried to listen to it but gave up halfway through last season ans havent listened to it since. Best thing ive done as my blood pressure so much better. Just a poor,poor product and not worth me wasting my time over.

I'm the same as you. I was just positing what he may have said.

Personally, I think Dick Gordon is a ****ing Hibs hating ****.

[Gatecrasher]

First time i have listened to this in a long time. Everyone apart from the Old Firm and Hearts getting pelters for not investing properly and having not enough ambition when it comes to european football.

Ok, I kind of see where thery're coming from except.

Hearts have been pish in europe as well.
we are not playing in a level playing field to the euro clubs.
The folk running our game are a bunch of halfwits that sell our game short.

[TheSouthMoroccan]

FFS...nothing on Hibs until 14.58 and only then just Preston reading out the teams. No chat about the game, no Manager interviews, no comments on the team, nothing. ******ing fannys

He was interviewed before the game by Brian McLaughlin who asked about the first game, Robbie said "the goal was to get something to bring back from Zurich, and we brought back a one goal deficit" as though this was an achievement, a success, part of a plan.

Since when has a defeat been taking something from a game?

Well I suppose it was when the away goals rule was still in force but you had to then win the home leg 1-0 not lose it 1-0. Oops! 😀

Yep, hearts could have been pumped 0-3 but Robbie Replay would still try and paint that as a success and its what the biggliest teams do. It will obviously be everyone elses fault, dodgy ref, dodgy decisions, dodgy penalty against. Ive very seldom heard Replay take the blame for defeats, draws or **** performances, he is an utter ***** bag who thinks he is ****ing Klopp 🤬

[Carheenlea]

Never before has a club lost three matches in a row so heroically.

The greatest three game losing streak in the history of the game, and will live long in the memory of those who were lucky enough to be present to witness it.

[Smartie]

I hadn't been paying attention to the Zurich game the other night but my mate sent me a message saying "you need to stick Sportsound on".

Biscuits and Levein providing the analysis of a Hearts game wasn't something I thought I'd ever consider to be a great listen but when they're both practically in tears during a Hearts defeat - well, "pleasing" is I think the way it is normally most accurately described.

Funny as ****.

Funny as ****.I switched the game on just before the sending off. I had to laugh at Levein moaning that they'll now playact and slow the game down till the end. That's his stock in trade and the Jambos favourite go to move. Shoe on other foot would have been praised as good game management.

Levein also said Hearts tactic should be try and get their players sent off. What a mindset how about trying to score a goal? Preston the Rangers fan playing at a Hearts fan seemed to be told to say Hearts have been brilliant at every turn. Not trying to be biased but to me that seemed a big opportunity for Hearts yes they had decent players but they had lost all their league games didn't have a home tie and looked a bit devoid of confidence however overall won pretty comfortably

That’s the most unglamorous “glamour” group of teams they could possibly have been drawn with.

I decided to go over to the dark side and read their take on sportsound. Unbelievably they agree largely what is said on here but they think there is a hibs love in. They detest gordon like us and are apalled at the poor standard. Others sites echo the same thoughts. I really miss the craig paterson days when he could talk abour rangers and hibs in an even handed way. Balanced journalism are now things of history. I just cant bring myself to listen to it anymore.

They ‘re lucky *******s, but it makes the incentive to finish 3rd all the more.

We finished 3rd the season before. We played 4 European ties, lost only one and didn’t get group stages. They get 2 ties, lose them both and get group stages. Sometimes you are “as well being lucky as good.”.

Well, it filters down to those clubs in Portugal, Croatia or wherever Rangers and Celtic source their players.

I cant remember the last time a mammoth fee was paid for a scottish player by these teams.

Of course Tom English etc should know this.

Kenny Miller is the other pundit. Jackie McNamara (jr) is introduced as "former celtic player". No mention of his other connection to the tie.

Coverage is just reflecting the fact that the SPFL is just a whack-a-mole for Celtic and the zombies.

But great to see Jackie back on the scene. Keep being better.

They were STILL talking about the red cards from the Rangers game today. Leann Chrichton was banging on about how we keep playing against teams that have been reduced to 10 or 9 men, and how we don’t ‘convince her’, which is fair enough but, then in storms Biscuits, or could have been Thompson, unbelievably then said;

‘The thing is, many of those red cards shouldn’t have been red cards’.

**** that.

St Johnstone red? Justified red, very late and dangerous. Morelos? Totally justified, no discussion? Lundstrom? The only one there could be a discussion on; I still say the refs justified in giving a red and it’s high on the knee. Could have gone either way. And todays sending off, as Michael Stewart was forced to come in and say, was also a clear and justified red, ‘I don’t think you can say it wasn’t a justified red card’.

It’s actually ridiculous. Leeann Crichton also called out Boyle for ‘going down easily, looking for it’ on two occasions. I feel like since the ‘controversy’ of the Rangers game, we are actually going to have to deal with this narrative for the rest of the season that we are favoured by the refs:dunno:

Haven’t listened to it since ths summer of Jambo angst at demotion.

Add McGeady to that list surely.

At the beginning of todays programme Alan Preston who was covering the Hibs match mentioned the arrival of McKirdy to the squad would make it an “interesting afternoon here at TYNECASTLE.” Needless to say Kenny Macintyre, still trying to recover from the earlier blitzing of his precious Rangers, didn’t bother to correct him. Probably never even twigged to it.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Sportsound is Radio Scotlands most listened to show, so the appetite to freshen the thing up might not feel like a priority for them.

Sportscene will probably well down the list of most viewed for TV mind you.

[Iain G]

Isn't this called Soccersound now?

Now Official.

[green day]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Sportsound is Radio Scotlands most listened to show, so the appetite to freshen the thing up might not feel like a priority for them.

Sportscene will probably well down the list of most viewed for TV mind you.

Perhaps, and thats what happens when you have a monopoly !

I really enjoyed the commentary on our U19 match via twitter the other day.
Not sure if we can do it (contracts etc) but frankly the lack of any commentary on the radio (unless you are playing the huns or tic) is pathetic.

I appreciate a club channel will be biased, but at least it will be "commentary" whereas all we get now is that OaM horror show with the likes of Preston screaming like a baby every time Hearts score

Aye, tbh its not really an issue for me as I have IPTV for away matches anyway.

I was more thinking the general fan who (used to) turn on R Scotland or the BBC Sport Scotland website and get commentary from every premiership match.

Now, there is nothing.

[Betty Boop]

Crichton sounds like someone who has swallowed the football book of cliches and continually spews them out.She just embarrasses herself when she tries to join in the banter with the boys.

When I heard on Off The Ball today that,that other slavering eejit Jane Lewis was presenting Sportsound this afternooon it was easy to give that a body swerve.



BBC Scotland needs to bring in someone to clear out and refresh both Sportsound and Sportscene,as they have become stale and not worth
giving attention to.

Banter with the boys eh ? I'll crack the jokes.:aok:

Leeann Crichton is another one of the wall to wall Jambos on the BBC and is boring as ****
Quite agree,she talks for hours,and say’s nothing.

[HoboHarry]

Leeanne Crichton is a bletherin boot and Thompson is an amateur at this presenting malarcky, how he got that gig God only knows
Skill level in riding goats in the confined space of a lodge I would imagine.

[Hibees1973]

I do listen to Sportsound occasionally.

It is OK at times, but I tend to find myself switching over to 5 live soon after switching it on due to the dearth in the standard of the presenters and pundits. Just my opinion but the only decent one's up here who provide some insight and give a balanced view most of the time are Michael Stewart and James McFadden.

The standard of Sportsound is dire when compared to Radio 5 live. It's night and day. The Monday Night Club on 5 live is a good laugh and all other programmes when Mark Chapman is presenting. Some will say it's due to the product down south being more appealing but this does not excuse how dull and boring Sportsound comes across.

That’s true in 2022, but I’ve met both and they’re great company and a wealth of football knowledge. Bonner is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet in the game. Very fair pundit too.

On the subject of Sportsound and Sportscene, I miss big Craig Paterson - anyone know how he’s doing these days ?

He's doing absolutely fine , Always takes a minute or two out his day to talk football , Talks more sense than these erseholes on Sportscene , A few choice words about our panelists also but won't share on here , Suffice to say he is spot on !

[h1bs4life]

Surpassed themselves today , had it on while driving home after the game . The useless ex St Mirren player grudgingly gave a bit of praise to Johnson then Craigran and the rugby reporter discussed and thought Porteous should have been off after his head knock.
Jim Duffy stuck up for the Hibs medical team and the player .
Good to see Porteous and Hibs are living in the Sportscene teams head rent free.

It was the protocol they were questioning, not the Hibs medical team. We got plenty praise. The only surprising thing was that they didn't mention the Well player who was down.

About time we got over all this Sportscene/Sportsound stuff, I've said it for ages, it's a pain in the erse they don't have a Hibs correspondent but if we start playing well and are winning games then we'll get the plaudits as we did at certain times under Ross and Lennon. We're getting there.

Craigan started his report on the game by saying “Lee Johnson came in, talking a lot, doing a lot of HibsTv, talking about philosophies and methods and they had an awful start to the season, really poor.” Or words to that effect,

Real balance. I also thought they were having a go at Hibs re Porto’s head knock. Was a very strange discussion. 1 minute research would’ve told them we’ve just gone without Melkersen for 4 weeks due to respecting the concussion protocols.

I heard that today driving back from the game and it's clear Craigan doesn't like us. Weird analysis from a bitter individual.
I actually thought Willie Miller was good in stating again that Goodwin was well out of order in what he said about Porto.

Just seen the latest score at Utd v Dons.

Priceless.

Tom English, who didn’t actually see the Porto head clash, was bumping his gums about Porto being allowed to play on and should have been taken off. Someone should have pointed out that the Motherwell player actually needed more treatment that Porto but funnily enough, there was no mention of that head clash

[Libby Hibby]

3 zip United.

I wonder how they can make Porto the villain in this capitulation.

[18Craig75]

Is it not common place for a new manger to convey what his playing style will be to the fans of the club he’s just joined??

Craigan was building on the narrative started by Neilson which was also a lot of bull “Hibs have been saying they’ll do this and that…”

Eh ok pals.

Thing you have to remember is no research has been done regarding the supposed comments made by Hibs about this.

We all know nothing has been said and that Robbie and the likes of Craigen don’t do FACT

That was my thoughts too, surely both players clashed heads with the same force but not once did anyone suggest the Motherwell guy should also have gone off, only Porteous. Definitely still holding him to more scrutiny than other players.

[Not In The Know]

Also, Craigan while updating on “open all mics” started his updates on at least three occasions with “I have to say” then squeezed out a positive about our play. He basically couldn’t believe it, and he was contractually obliged to report objectively and struggled to get his tiny mind round that.

[Jim44]

Tom English is an embarrassing, so far up his own erchie, single minded bore. A few years ago, I thought he was a breath of fresh air but he has morphed into a monotonous, second hand clone of everything that is bad about Scottish football punditry. I’m sure he’s actually quite a nice guy when away from the job he does so badly.

It was the same earlier today when the BBC tossers had to comment on Franck Sauzée’s presence. They were full of praise, as you would expect, because they had no other choice. But you couldn’t help hearing their grudging tones because of the Hibs connection.

[007]

Well I never, even Richard Gordon on Soccersound jumping on the Porto bandwagon and dishing out the praise.

Absolutely the reason he brought it up. Certainly cannot remember any wild predictions of success by LJ. Would it not have been really odd for a new manager not to have outlined how he was going to approach the job. He also was clear that it would take time. Given it was an excellent game seemed odd for his main summary to include large parts dedicated to supposed comments at the start of the season and concussion protocol.

[Hibees1973]

Yes, just heard that. Think his quote was roughly 'maybe some of the press articles/comments on Porteous have been over exageratted in the past'.

Aye, quite a few of them from Richard Gordon.

He did go on and say that some of the antics of Porteous maybe have had his previous managers shaking their heads, which is a fair comment.

It was though the first piece of contrition that I've ever heard from Richard Gordon on Porteous.

Sportscene rounding up the football in the upcoming week.

Women’s international on Tuesday, all the European games Celtic, Rangers , Hearts get a mention.

But not a word word about the United v Hibs game.

Pre match coverage? I didn’t hear anything from about 7:25 through till kick off; John Rankin was so biased it was laughable and as soon as the final whistle went they switched off.

Just pish.

[Hibbyradge]

Quite agree,she talks for hours,and say’s nothing.

That applies to 99% of pundits. Most of them get paid handsomely for stating the obvious.

Rarely do they add any interesting or meaningful insight.

Drove into the game with my son yesterday listened to sportsound from starting at 2 and only one game was even mentioned with in depth analysis of van bronkorst or Gio and Giovanni as he was described. Got out car about 20 to 3 no mention from any of the other games no teams no speaking to people at the grounds. Utterly pathetic

It’s the same since they resumed their coverage of Rangers. Which ever one of the Old Firm is playing on the Saturday gets the whole ****ing show to themselves, then the Sunday is a dedicated bum up day for the other one.

I tend not to listen to Sportsound before the games start but that merits a complaint in my book.

Ultimately, there’s nothing on Sportsound about Hibs that you won’t already know about if you’ve taken a look on here before departing for game. Basically just a bit of background noise for journey.

The content will be driven largely by the pool of pundits and presenters interests, and with no Hibs representation within that, we are just bit part players for the show.

At least they’re honest and not spending too much time with teams they have no interest in rather than feigning enthusiasm.

Just leave them to it.

[SaulGoodman]

I turned it off yesterday on the drive home when some pundit compared Tillman at rangers to Berbatov.

[weecounty hibby]

I turned it off yesterday on the drive home when some pundit compared Tillman at rangers to Berbatov.
Surely no one who has ever watch either of these players said that. If they did they should be sacjed as a pundit and never asked their opinion on football again. Berbatov was a fabulous player and Tillman wouldn't be allowed to polish his boots!

I wouldn't be too bothered if it wasn't a weekly thing, Rangers v Aberdeen was biggest game in the country yesterday so probably right its given the build up but lets not kid ourselves it would have been any different if they where playing Ross County, the program has fallen off a cliff since Richard Gordon left and it was in dire need of a shake up then

[Gatecrasher]

They spend way too long talking about so called controversies, after the games it should be post match reactions from around the grounds. Not whether Goodwin should keep his mouth shut or not.

[matty_f]

Post-match yesterday was a joke. All thru talked about was the Rangers game, save for a couple of minutes at the arse end of the show where they played Lee's interview.

As if that's not bad enough, the presenter can't say "this afternoon" or "this evening" and instead says "the zafternoon" or "the zevening" and it irrationally annoys me to a ridiculous level, really.

Funny enough, I actually e mailed Radio Scotland today. I normally can handle bias, but this is actually now, not just dreadful listening, but a complete lack of respect for every match in Scotland outside the Rangers one.

The show starts at 2 and should be covering all the games across the country. Building up excitement for those on their way and giving details and atmosphere for those who can't be there.

I sat in the car in traffic from 2 - 2.45 and there was only a quick break to go to Derek McInness outside the Rangers chat. No team checks, no conversation about the other games or leagues, just a non-stop Rangers dialogue, fuelled by the incessant foghorn anchor guy who would just not let the subject go. Every time you thought it was exhausted, he would ask Kenny Miller again. I know the new guy is a Rangers fan, but I genuinely did not think the show would become all about one team.

I actually don't care about Hibs centric views, I just want to hear the teams and the news from all across the grounds. Thats a lot to cover in an hour and should be lively and wide reaching. Discussing one team was soul destroying. I won't be listening again to what I always considered, rightly or wrongly a Scottish institution. I wonder if I will get a reply from them?

[JohnM1875]

Heard that too. The only team ever to experience some injuries. Just shows how absolutely amazing they are that they can even complete 90 minutes. Though with the 20,000 plus packed into Tynie driving them on every other week I can see why.

Think it was when we were up at Ross County at the start of the month but it was EXACTLY the same, except you're swapping Rangers for Celtic on that day I think.

Would not have even known Hibs were playing until after 3pm. You can often go in excess of five minutes during games without a single bit of information about the 3pm games because they'll decide to talk about something that happened a week ago. It's just absolute rubbish now, made worse by these discussions being done to death with nothing of actual interest added to any debate.

Sad.

I think that's a big part of it to be honest, I worried that when he was gone that there is no one there to keep everyone in line. I couldn't even tell you who the host is, is it Thompson? They all just talk amongst each other as if there's no one else listening.

Good for you, as I said earlier I tend not to listen to Sportsound pre-match but if it's as bad as it's being made out to be then that's not good enough.

It's not Celtic or Rangers radio we're listening to, it's a BBC station which should represent all teams in equal measure.

[Glory Lurker]

That's fair comment. Gordon could annoy us, but he was good at anchoring a live football programme. The overall product wasn't great but he managed it very professionally.

I've only dipped in to it now and again over the last few years but it wasn't Gordon who scunnered me off it.

Would expect the BBC will be contacting Hibs regarding Bojang's allegations.

Based on Hibs response, it's likely to be a discussion point at the weekend anyway.

Maybe we will hear publicly from Ron or Kensall for the first time in a while.

The answer was - no reply. Not even an acknowledgement.

Tells you all you need to know really.

It’s a show made by an Old Firm minded broadcaster for Old Firm fans. Rest of us just have to be grateful for the scraps here and there that we get thrown in between times.

You should maybe submit a complaint next time, they're obliged to respond to them.

"respond".

Not that I am listening, but whats the script today from them -

Hibs jail young striker?

Hibs in freefall?

Hibs manager has one match to save his job?

No doubt we will also have the Hearts tag team of Paul Mitchell, Alan Preston and fat Brian there as well..........

On Sky, Boyd, Walker et al having a go at Hibs and probably enjoying it. They’re not really saying anything a lot of us can disagree with, and, if things don’t go our way today, they will feel justified and continue to put the boot in.

Not if you're talking about the Hibs player Kevin Nisbet. Only one way to spell his name or you're talking about someone else.
