Sportsound

[ekhibee]

After I'd finished watching the game last night I tuned into Sportsound for the last 15-20 mins, I don't think Hibs were even mentioned, it was all Aberdeen apart from 30 seconds or so about Celtic. Maybe just as well I hardly ever listen to that programme nowadays.

[Bostonhibby]

Hearts weren't playing so it defaults to pretty much the Aberdeen Show.

It's a program that's dying on its feet.

Spot on. Willie Miller was embarrassing. Slavering incoherent drivel about Aberdeen in general hardly mentioned their game (which was still on). In fact at one point I'm convinced he was going through the Aberdeen team sheet bumming up each and every one of the players. Not a mention of the Hibs score, post match analysis etc.

[Nicho87]

I stopped listening years ago

Aberdeen love in and likes of Preston and Miller slavering away, well past it’s sell by date

[Moulin Yarns]

not trying to defend them, god forbid, but they weredoing live commentary of the aberdeen game so it makes sense that was given more coverage.

What I found annoying was there were not seperate text updates for each game on thh BBC Sport web pages. we had all the updates from St Johnstone, Aberdeen and Hibs games all jumbled together. bloody confusing

So, if I've got this right: 2 weeks ago their live coverage was the Aberdeen game while Hibs played Santa C; last week their live coverage was the Aberdeen game again while Hibs played Santa C; and last night they provided live coverage of the Celtic game, the St Johnstone game and the Aberdeen game while Hibs played Rijeka. :confused:

What bugs me, is that Saints game on tv and radio. Why not have one or the other so they can spread around commentaries.

[Coco Bryce]

Show is full of wallopers.

Preston/English/Miller and various slavering guests.

I listen to Super Scoreboard on Clyde 1. Much better laugh.

[hibbysam]

Preston also said Callum Davidson has never lost a cup tie - he lost one on penalties last year to Dundee United in the league cup groups. They were slavering that much that they never even knew the Aberdeen game had finished.

[SHODAN]

Every single time they've sent a commentary team to whoever Aberdeen are playing and haven't bothered with us.

If we get through and play PAOK they'll probably still cover the Aberdeen game against whatever team they're up against.

What channel? The dab feed was in the studio as I turned it on to walk to the car. Broadcast finished at 10. 2 weeks back it went after 10 on to ensure it got interviews etc. Guessing big effort for Celtic. Live stream of St J fell into their lap and then minimum for Aberseen and Hibs. With Millar on, edging it towards the Dons for favourites

Haven't listened to it for probably more than a decade now. Used to be essential listening on matchday and part of the routine but it got horrendously bad back then and sounds like it's still as bad, if not worse. It needed a shake up back then and they really should've sorted it by now.

I'll still give 'Off The Ball' a listen if I'm in the car at the time it's on, but I don't go out of my way to listen to that either these days.

[The_Sauz]

The BBC website is very poor when it come's to teams outside Glasgow! For the past 3 day's all they seemed to care about was both old firm team's playing to a full house and what players they were going to sign.
I was hoping they would have all the team news about the Scottish teams that were due to play in Europe this week, but found nothing but small articles the day of the match.
You had to dig deep on the site to get anything about the conference league scores last night:grr:

[MartinfaePorty]

The coverage of Scottish Football on the BBC, compared to both the English men's and women's games, is an absolute disgrace. And that's before I start moaning about how my old banger of a car can't get AM, so can't listen to whatever is left of the midweek programme on the drive home! The Scottish Championship should be an exciting, competitive league and it's great that we are getting the odd live game, but how difficult / costly would it be to have a 'Football First' type programme to show highlights of all the games, plus Leagues 1 and 2 (although no Derek Johnstone please!)?

They need to do what sky did and get rid of the old guard. What young kids nowadays know who Wullie Miller is, same with Preston and Ferguson. Jim Spence, another rocket is that Richard Gordon

I wasnt disappointed in the coverage of the Hibs game as I expect nothing from them.

:agree: I used to get angry with the muppets on this programme as I was convinced there was an anti-Hibs agenda. I’ve mellowed and have come to the conclusion that they simply just have no interest in Hibs whatsoever, unless,of-course, they have nothing else to report on.

Or if it's something to our disadvantage. I can't quite remember getting the prolonged, fawning treatment like Aberdeen and Hearts get regularly.

Correct - there was no live commentary of the Aberdeen game, just loads of waffle from Willie Miller - the Hibs game barely got a mention. I thought Aberdeen had won the competition the way they were talking about it

[greenlex]

I only caught about ten minutes in my way to work but John Collins was covering the Hibs game and was waxing lyrical. During the ten minutes it was about equal time with Miller covering the Aberdeen game. There was also the start of an interview with the St Johnstone chairman by phone from Turkey. That ten minutes seemed pretty balanced.

The BBC website is poor full stop.

There are six games every week in our top flight, yet the BBC can only be bothered to feature four in its "Things To Watch". It happened all last season, and they're at it again this week (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58089898). How difficult is it to put together a couple of paragraphs on each game?

[norhfc]

When Gary Lineker gets paid more than the BBC use for covering the whole of Scottish football you just know you are going to get the cheapest of the cheap crap.

I got back to the motor in time for the round up to hear a good 5 mins of John Collins talking about Celtic followed by laddish pish from Willie Miller on discotheques and St Johnstone getting home at half 4.

[Allez Hibs]

Sorry but take the blinkers off, John Collins was full of praise for Hibs and Michael Stewart praising the depth of our squad tonight saying we have greater depth than Aberdeen.

Sportsound coverage is excellent, especially open all mics on a Saturday. Full off personalities. Michael Steward and Leanne Crichton are brilliant on it and very articulate.

[Swedish hibee]

It's my only option for Scottish football and it's gone down drastically the past few years. Jane Lewis constantly gets guests names wrong, and can't believe Chic picks up a wage for the little he contributes.

[JimBHibees]

Agree about both. How Chick has managed to come back from retirement beggars belief. Listened to an older interview he had with arguably the best Scottish player ever Denis Law a few years back absolutely butchered it with his ridiculous awful patter.

[Jones28]

Sportsound has its place in my heart. When it’s good it’s excellent, it’s mostly background noise until something Hibs is mentioned, occasionally it’s ****ing dreadful but I have only once thought about writing to the show to complain: when Ferguson and Dodds were trying to claim that the orange kits Rangers wore were tributes to the Dutch contingent that hadn’t kicked a ball for Rangers for 7/8 years at the time.

I will say that they made longs saturdays on a farm at harvest a lot more bearable.

Totally agree, some of the criticism on here is juvenile and quite frankly pathetic.

[Newhaven]

Blinkers well and truly off here but the programme and off the ball are well past there sell by date.

They have obvious favourite teams, poor summarisers (Alan Preston anyone?) and a general hate of hibs like the BBC themselves.

Dying a slow death and won’t shed a tear when it gets pulled.

[Lancs Harp]

Dont know what we are more obsessed with, The media or Rangers.

[H18 SFR]

I think it is very fair to say that sportsound is running on fumes now.

Sadly, I don’t thing the overhaul it desperately needs will ever happen.

[Rumble de Thump]

Rangers are dead so let's go with the first option.

[jgl07]

I can’t really comment about Sportsound as I stopped listening to it ten years ago. The reason I turned off will be apparent to most here.

It appeared to be running way past its sell-by date along with ‘Off the Ball’ and ‘Only an Excuse’. I used to listen to/watch all three programmes avidly at one stage, but no longer.

The tired old cliches, the total fixation with the old firm, and the recycling of old jokes, we’re probably symptomatic of shows needing a complete revamp or cancellation.

Alan Preston, Tom English, and Willie Miller are three good reasons to avoid the whole thing. The fact Only and Excuse continued to make Frank McAvennie jokes long after most viewers could even remember who he was, summed it up and explains why it was eventually cancelled.

Generally, Off the Ball Talk about anything but the Old Firm, I think it’s a cracking show and comes from a couple of guys who clearly love the game in Scotland.

Sportsound is ridiculous, though. Today we had Dundee United, relegating candidates last week, being talked up as challengers because of one win against Rangers.

The Aberdeen and Hearts love in is nauseating, and the pundits are tired and stale, and in need of a real refresh. There’s potentially a really good show in there, but they need to axe folk like Kenny “I’ll ask for closed questions in a row as part of the same question “ McIntyre and virtually all of their pundits to realise that potential.

What is it you're after? They were hyping up the league in a positive way after Hearts beat Celtic and Dundee Utd beat Rangers. Tom English was talking very positively about the league.

People really need to take the blinkers off.

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

I'm actually a fan of the programmes but the banter between Steven Thompson and Mikey Stewart this afternoon was embarrassing.

[Steve20]

If you like listening to Celtic, Hearts and Aberdeen chat and pretty much nothing else, it’s the place to listen.

[Moulin Yarns]

Agreed, I think, in the beginning, there were genuine differences of opinion between the two of them. Now though it almost seems to be scripted, manufactured, because they think we want to hear that.

[hibsbollah]

It really was awful. That kind of manufactured beef is bad enough in the studio at halftime, but during commentary it’s unlistenable, we just want to know what’s going on on the pitch.

[PatHead]

I was in the car and had it on for 5 minutes around half time. Switched it off as I couldn't listen to them any longer. Used to be essential listening.

Everyone to their own though.

[Smartie]

I’ve found the criticism of it ott in the past but as a listener I have drifted away because I just struggle too much with some of the people and some of the editorial lines.

There are some good people there (Richard Gordon was good in the not too distant past and Michael Stewart is always good) but there are too many numpties now who just make it unlistenable.

It’s a shame because I was an avid listener growing up. Alastair Alexander, David Begg and the young Derek Rae were all excellent commentators. The guys at the grounds were good and the pundits were excellent. It’s a shame that so much of it seems so partisan nowadays, as I can even remember the likes of John Greig managing to be neutral and add worthy comment.

It’ll probably come round to bring decent again but it’s going through “one of those spells” at the moment.

Tom English is probably the head of the snake at the moment, cull him and there might be a fighting chance of getting Scottish football’s BBC coverage back round again.

It probably doesn’t help when you have clubs like Rangers behaving the way they do towards the press.

[He's here!]

No need for folk to tune in if it just annoys them. I stopped listening years ago because, as others have said, the pundits are just plain crap/irritating. Football pundits annoy me in general. I think it's a lazy gig, with far too many assuming that because they played professionally they just need to show up. At the other end of the scale you have 'intellectuals' like Tom English who seem to think their opinion counts as fact.
If I can't be at a Hibs game I just check the score on my phone then read a report of the game and watch the goals when they become available. No need at all for Sportsound these days.

Back in the day it was a great programme giving you information and updates when there was nowhere else to go.
It had great characters and commentators who concentrated on the games and not their own opinions, unfortunately like their tv equivalent it's gone to the dogs and not worth tuning into.

I used to like listening to it doing the gardening or driving around when Hibs were away, and now it’s barely listenable. I don’t understand comments like ‘just turn it off if it annoys you’. Well, aye, but a) I want to know how the games are going b) I pay a licence fee c) I’m commenting on the poor quality of the product.

And d) it's not tailored to suit any one individual. You do realise the amount of comments across all the supporters forums and other social media outlets means it must have a big audience, if everyone that didn't like it switched off instead of tuning in and moaning about it something might be done to change it.

This is it for me - I want to listen to some football on a Saturday (if I am not there) and the options in Scotland are awful.

Tired BBC coverage, or Clyde...........which fairly obviously caters more for their local audience.

Its a crap situation.

[WhileTheChief..]

I listen every week and enjoy it.

Sometimes listen to 5 Live and Talk Sport, they're all the same really. Some pundits I like, some I don't.

I don't buy into them being biased against Hibs or having love ins with Aberdeen and Hearts. Their fans say the same about us.

[Hiber-nation]

I can't stand some of the pundits but if we play well and win they give us credit. It's not as biased as folk on here make out. Even Craigan was very complimentary last Sunday.

I just don't care enough about non-Hibs games to subject myself to the likes of Preston hailing a Hearts goal. If I'm driving or gardening I'll opt for music rather than something that just puts me on edge.

I agree re the licence fee but I guess if we all stopped tuning in they might get the message.

I’m the same, got back to Penicuik at 5:35 as there was trouble on the bypass. Hibs report was just coming on. It really is a disgrace from the BBC considering there were so few games on and they constantly want to talk about Celtic/Sevco all the time. Aberdeen get second billing even though we finished above them in the league and are currently top. Then on comes the Motherwell/Saints report and finally the Hibs afterthought. Terrible broadcasting.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Sportsound rather than challenging the status quo merely reinforce it - as seen from the comment above.

Where’s the call for overhaul and rethinking the Scottish game? So any revolution in the game will come from elsewhere, will not be televised or broadcast but emerge from somewhere else. be nice to imagine such a forum acting as a catalyst for change. The authorities have fallen asleep at the wheel for a generation largely unchallenged. Hardly surprising with that lot.

Absolutely, was just trying to help out.

[Juniper Greens]

I tuned in for the draw in the car today. Kept saying that hearts won the second half and that jobbie will be very happy with hearts today. Really made it sound like hearts were good.
Celtic had 82% of the ball in the first half, 62% in the second. 11 shots on goal to 2. (7 v 2 in the second half). Yet it sounded like hearts bossed it from their analysis.

[Juniper Greens]

Also, Craig Levein referred to the game away to celtic as a "money spinner" which made me smile. He went on to say that the money might be worth more than getting through to the next round, so old firm away is a good draw...there really is something wrong with them in Gorgie

Naw. If he mentioned Ginelli coming on and being a game changer once he mentioned it a dozen times during and after. It’s as if he had something to do with him signing fir them He’s a balloon. I was shouting at the radio.:greengrin

Agreed he is actually ok on the radio and can be quite funny. He certainly does not like hibs though…

We don’t like him either though and I’d rather he didn’t pretend to like us even though we knew it not to be true.

If your a STH get it on HibsTv.

Today's game wasn't on Hibs TV unless you live overseas.

Not going to disagree with that. He's a reformed pr*ck.

Can we get Mowbray and Venus signed up as pundits so they can be announced alongside as "With us today, Tony Mowbray, Mark Venus..."

[PatHead]

Absolutely, was just trying to help out.
Thanks anyway.

[hibbysam]

Today's game wasn't on Hibs TV unless you live overseas.

Commentary was, which is a better choice than sportsound even if they did have the game on.

[Sir David Gray]

That's true, apologies.

[007]

We don’t like him either though and I’d rather he didn’t pretend to like us even though we knew it not to be true.

Don't think he does pretend to like us. Have heard him be complimentary but that's because he's doing his job as a pundit. He'll start it by saying something like "much as I don't like to admit it but..." which is how I'd expect a Hibby pundit to be if the roles were reversed. That's good banter.

In his last spell as their manager he trolled them a lot more than he trolled us. Every time he came out with something like "natural order" it was carefully chosen and designed to appease the Jambos that were wanting him out. He's not daft and it worked every time on the weak minded fools. He kept buying himself more time whilst continuing to run them into ground and it ended up with their glorious relagation/demotion/expulsion followed by months of squealing. 😀

[Andy74]

I tuned in for the draw in the car today. Kept saying that hearts won the second half and that jobbie will be very happy with hearts today. Really made it sound like hearts were good.
Celtic had 82% of the ball in the first half, 62% in the second. 11 shots on goal to 2. (7 v 2 in the second half). Yet it sounded like hearts bossed it from their analysis.

Celtic had 36 shots.

Ah, I see what you mean.

Or even worse are the pundits who are never critical of their team and regularly try to defend the indefensible. Funny how most that fall into that category have links with a 9 year old Glasgow club.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I agree. He can be funny. Sometimes.

[Selkirkhibs]

I agree. He can be funny. Sometimes.

Levein, Ton Englisher, Doddsy, Craigan, and all the other anti Hibernians are about as funny as a long weekend in a Polis Station. Brutal patter imo.

[heretoday]

Just watch the football and make your own mind up. Don't listen to the pundits. They're a waste of space and paid to hype things up.

[JimBHibees]

Preston and tubby McLaughlan too also McCann it's honestly like a jambo retirement home

[FilipinoHibs]

Celtic had 36 shots.

Hearts had 5 and 28% pocession overall.

[Spike Mandela]

Levein, Ton Englisher, Doddsy, Craigan, and all the other anti Hibernians are about as funny as a long weekend in a Polis Station. Brutal patter imo.

Exactly. All these guys proclaiming to find them funny are clearly suffering from Stockholm syndrome having been trapped listening to a radio program dominated by Hearts fuds.

[poolman]

:agree: Natural Order and all that

[loanheadhibby]

We don’t like him either though and I’d rather he didn’t pretend to like us even though we knew it not to be true.
Totally agree and he was really funny after predicting Old Firm , Hibs and Dundee would get through to semis.
Levein reckoned that no way would Rangers and Celtic be drawn against each other in the last four.

[Not In The Know]

It’s like a party political broadcast for Jumbo FC this afternoon, tbh I don’t know why I keep tuning in.

Phrases like “steamrolling the league” getting thrown about mind they were third this morning!

Alan Preston is basically a club rep shoutin from the roof tops how amazing they are.

Meanwhile we get Brian McLaughlin at the wind up and throwing passive aggressive question to our manager.

I know folk will say just switch off but the huge publicity that they get goes a long way to building fan bases

I choose just to shut them out.

The BBC is a mess right now. Who knows, it might one day have a bunch of our people on it which would be biased in our favour.

I prefer just to worry about us and what we're doing. There's a lot that looks like it is being done right just now, there are things we're not doing great.

We need to be a wee bit careful about our expectations up until January. We have a thin squad that is doing very well to punch above it's weight at the moment and I think we need to seriously rein in the expectations until we can strengthen in January, hopefully with Mathie's replacement properly settled in. Hearts can ride on the crest of their wave all they want, good luck to them. We'll see if there are planes flying over Tynecastle again when they hit their rough patch.

I don't expect this season to be plain sailing, but I expect us to hang in there until January, strengthen then, and have a decent tilt at the second half of the season.

Aberdeen might get better, they've been poor so far. Hearts might drop off, they might keep it going. The OF haven't looked anything special so far.

None of it matters really, we need to worry about playing our own game and not think too much about what other clubs are doing.

[Moulin Yarns]

[Alfred E Newman]

It was a disgrace for the program that is supposed to be impartial. We listened from 5pm and they spent most of the time working out Aberdeen's top six chances. As long as Hibs lose next week blah blah.

[Danderhall Hibs]

:agree: I’m normally more mild in my criticism of them but more and more often out game is covered after I get home but today it was like they done everything they could to not mention it and as you say all hypotheticals about how Hibs can’t/won’t make top 6. Really bad.

They'd completely written us off.

I'm not fussed if we are p!sh and get called out for it, but it's quite rare for any pundit not to do any fence sitting and talk up a team's relative merits. There's never any of that with Hibs at the moment, was like we had zero chance of top six.

[JimBHibees]

It was a disgrace for the program that is supposed to be impartial. We listened from 5pm and they spent most of the time working out Aberdeen's top six chances. As long as Hibs lose next week blah blah.

Yep that is all I heard did they interview Shaun? They had Craig Easton ex United doing the summary of the game. Heard him before the game ndicating that Lewis Allan was on the bench for Hibs.:greengrin

[Broken Gnome]

Meant to say, did they all pick on that Aberdeen player who dived for a penalty prior to McCrorie's goal? Then jumped up from pretending to be injured to celebrate?

Remember the pelters they gave Porteous for the late handball/fake head knoxk during the last derby...

That's what I've been thinking for some time. And also for some time, it sounds so often that Gordon and English spend most of their time sooking up Preston's arse as if they're scared of him, hence the distinct lack of compliments for Hibs.

[Col2]

All set up for anti Hibs over next two weekends. Preston, English, Levein, McLaughlin, Derek Ferguson, Richard Gordon, Willie Miller.

They hate it when we prove them wrong. They can’t wait for us to fail. Yet Hearts have failed to win a trophy for 10 years and it’s been 32 years since Aberdeen won the Scottish cup. We are hardly prolific on that front but you would think they are picking up silverware every couple of years going by the crap that they come out with.

[Col2]

That's what I've been thinking for some time. And also for some time, it sounds so often that Gordon and English spend most of their time sooking up Preston's arse as if they're scared of him, hence the distinct lack of compliments for Hibs.

They definitely do this with. Craig Levein. Terrified to challenge him. It’s almost like they have forgotten he never won a single trophy when a player of manager.

[Jones28]

That's what I've been thinking for some time. And also for some time, it sounds so often that Gordon and English spend most of their time sooking up Preston's arse as if they're scared of him, hence the distinct lack of compliments for Hibs.

I'd sooner listen to Preston than either of the other 2. I used to like English, but his ravings over the Hearts relegation during Covid really put me off him.

I listen to Open All Mics and can't help but feel the Hibs games get rookie pundits who haven't found their feet and therefor contribute a lot less. We also very very rarely have any Hibs centred contributors on the show. Aberdeen have Gordon and Miller, Hearts have Preston and Levein, Celtic have that windbag Bonner, St Mirren have Young, Hamilton ****ing Accies have Derek Ferguson, Dodds used to cover Ross County whom they've replaced with Kettlewell and the only reason they don't have a Hun on the panel is they're banned from Ibrox - that doesn't stop Off The Ball having a hun guest on every other week though.

So as a team in the top four for size in the country why do we not have fair representation and a resident pundit in the way all these other teams do?

[ancient hibee]

The BBC are refusing to go to Ibrox until they lift a ban on one of their journalists.

[flash]

Could they not have someone like Kevin Harper, who always comes across well, covering our home games?

[JimBHibees]

Could they not have someone like Kevin Harper, who always comes across well, covering our home games?

Absolutely would be a great choice. They had ex United player Craig Easton on Saturday telling the listeners that Lewis Allan was on the bench for hibs. I mean talk about amateur hour.

[Hibernian Verse]

Could they not have someone like Kevin Harper, who always comes across well, covering our home games?

He's now working for us as of today in a scouting role so will presumably be busy every weekend but there must be someone they could get on.

Stopped listening in the ‘summer of Jambo’ when their crap team got relegated after the season being curtailed. The whinging and bias that eminated from the radio was intolerable. After being a listener, probably forever, I never went back and can’t say I’ve missed it.

Let’s face it, who really cares what Levein, Preston, English, McGlaughlin, Gordon etc think about things. It might appeal to the Jambo hordes but on a program like that to alienate so many other listeners is a foolish thing to do.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Controversial for controversies sake. So transparent you can almost see the cogs whirring.
they stray off piste and bring it back in. The backtracking on Aberdeens new era heralded by the Glass Broony dream ticket was the biggest retreat since Vietnam, the switch to the pre-written narrative after Kyogo inspired win in the cup final again was vom-inducing. Others are simple here to make up the numbers. I thing changes it’s almost a waste to give it too much thought. It would be nice to think we get a fairer crack of the whip would be interesting to hear Craig Patersons take on things.

i think the sad point is tho it builds up perceptions and potentially dents building fan bases. The hounding of our players - Doige was pummelled by in particular Gordon who failed to really acknowledge his raise to prominence and Porteous treatment has been shocking. I feel this is editorial tho. So time to reveal the editor / producer who is pulling the strings.

Certainly was rumours it was a yam.Gordon coming out with the karma comment when we were relegated was a shocker. Can also remember Garry Oconnor getting hounded after he was awarded a pen. Definite agenda imo

I'm sure the karma comment by Gordon was before this:

The coverage was absolutely fine. Most pundits thought the red card a bit harsh - as did our manager.
WM was clear that we had bossed the game but need to be sharper up front - which is what our manager said.

Why did they continue the var debate they’d clearly had when we were are the game after 4:50pm? We only heard from a handful of managers on no real meaningful post match discussion. Willie Miller have a summary of our game but when they went back to him for more analysis he spoke about the VAR argument rather than the game.

It was a bit like some Uni students playing with the broadcast kit when I was at uni.

[Coach Jon]

That’s exactly what I heard. Some folk seem a bit sensitive to whatever is said or not said about us on the Beeb. Miller was fine today and echoed what most on here have said about the game.

I do, before and after the match
What’s the alternative

[Since452]

Got back to the car and listened to them rabbiting on and arguing about VAR for 20 minutes. Possibly even worse now than last season.

[Broken Gnome]

Of the first half coverage I heard....

A good ten minutes devoted to each reporter reading out teamlines from Premiership and Championship games. Could easily have been done pre-match.

Seemingly never ending debate about VAR.

Chatting about who'd be top goalscorer.

Steven Fletcher's hair.

Goal updates.

A few near things at various games.

In general though, next to no idea about how games were going aside from Tynecastle and Rugby Park. Pretty sure Willie Miller was asked about Aberdeen halfway through the opening 45 minutes and spoke for about three minutes on anything but the game he was commenting on.

[Dmas]

That’s exactly what I heard. Some folk seem a bit sensitive to whatever is said or not said about us on the Beeb. Miller was fine today and echoed what most on here have said about the game.

He was far from fine the guy can barely string a sentence together absolutely brutal listening to the guy, the high pitched squealing about VAR between Stewart and that broadfoot guy as well, it’s needing a freshen up that’s for sure it beats SSB hands down

[LewysGot2]

Tuned in hoping to hear Lee Johnson as we drove back. As soon as that was over it was onto 909 for the Charity Shield commentary. Couldn't thole the VAR chat

That's what I heard too. Plus Leanne Crichton using stats to show we deserved the win, we had something like 35 touches in the opposition box to their 3 or 4.

Should of been at least 0-3 Ross County before hearts opener.

Watching Sportscene just now, noticed Killie have their fans in the bottom tier of the home stand behind the goals, and stick the Dundee Utd fans in the top tier, well away from the pitch

They’ve done this to Hibs quite a lot, hope we stick them in the top tier too

Not watching it but I bet Hibs are on last. Standard BBC Scotland patter.

It's a no brainer. Been saying for years they should put away fans in the most awkward place possible. We should use our stadium to our advantage.

Meanwhile their own wheelchair users have a shiny new raised platform but away fans are stuck in a crappy shelter.

Absolute disgrace.

They hate Hibs and hardly mention us so what's the point.

Would rather listen to the wheels going round on my motor than they clowns to be honest.

Totally agree and their anti Hibs agenda for years was a massive turn off!

I presume the away wheelchair users at Killie still have that wee shelter at ground level, absolutely dreadful for fans like you that have to sit there, terrible view and freezing in winter

[green day]

Sportsound is dreadful, and with Kenny McIntyre hosting it is even worse. I only tuned in post match today to hear LJ interview.

I dont listen to the buildup or ever during matches as I am usually watching the match either live or on IPTV.

Most clubs think the BBC hate them, but I can guarantee that if Hibs had sacked their manager in the week before the league campaign started, they would have slaughtered us..............by all accounts today, they did this anyway even though St Johnstone, Motherwell and St Mirren are in much more turnmoil !!

Its all very odd, but it definitely seems that there is an editorial policy that allows Preston to commentate on all Hearts matches, and he "appears" to talk up the players that coincidentally, he also represents. No doubt next week at the derby it will be the impartial coverage from Preston and Levein...............

Willie Miller always seems to be at Pittodrie, and Bonner at any Celtic match. There are several Hun sympathisers too.

The Terrace podcast guys are streets ahead in knowledge and coverage - and even though some on here dislike it, at least they are measured in their Hibs coverage and actually have some knowledge of the game.

Yep the same shelter they've had for years there, you can see nothing and if anyone accompanying a wheelchair user is 6ft+ they're unable to stand up straight.

Their own fans used to have the same crappy facilities until last season but it now seems to be vastly superior.

Absolutely unacceptable that every home and away fan has exactly the same facilities and views of the pitch except for away wheelchair users. I'm pretty sure it must be bordering on being illegal.

100% agree with you, should offer good facilities for all fans
I’m sure you’ve taken it up with Hibs, KP posts on here, I’m sure he’ll respond to to you.
Every fan should be welcomed at all grounds in Scotland

[FilipinoHibs]

Tuned into Sportsound to kill time before the game on Hibs TV. There was a 30 minute hatchette job on Hibs both on and off the pitch with all gleefully joining in. Stewart kept on about the sacking of Ross - he obviously never saw the boring football or the bad run of results. LJ was put in the category of manager under threat along with Davidson and Robinson. They were all bemoaning us not signing established Scottish players and basically said the running of the club off the field had fallen to pieces since Dempster went. Making out she was pushed rather than leaving for personal reasons. Not mention of all the balls she dropped and the nepotism in some of her appointments. Hope we silence them all which we started in Perth and carry on next Sunday.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Listened to much of 1st half of Sportsound in the car. I just can't take to the open goal coverage of 'Goallll, ohhhh, ahhh, oh its hit the post, its a goal, not its not...' etc and having no idea what game they're talking about.

They were certainly giving a lot of praise to Ross County at Tynie and Willie Miller was saying it was all Hibs albeit in his usual dour expressions.

Glad though to get home by half time and able to watch the 2nd half of Hibs game on my firestick.

Funnily enough I listened to the same broadcast and don't agree with a word of what you wrote. They discussed the decline since Leanne left, Stewart repeatedly said it was down to her leaving that standards slipped in Administration. He did not bang on about Ross leaving despite others coming back to that as a root cause. There was a general discussion on exiting the LC and squad rotation. Not signing Scottish players is an interstesting take on moneyball as a strategy as I don't think anyone made that point. Why would they discuss nepotism with in Hibs? I have no clue or evidence thats how Hibs were run under her CEO role so why would a broadcaster speculate on that line? There were some uncomfortable facts but nothing was outside the truth.

Almost like making the facilities so poor, that wheelchair users stop turning up, and by default remove the responsibility from the club to take any action. Safety concerns aside, it's quite a bit of an insult.

There are posters who are anti-BBC as I've seen comments about not paying licence fees in threads discussing Sportsound or Sportscene.

Whether that is because they think the BBC is too quick to show Hibs in a negative light, or not supportive enough of their own political views, will vary. But as someone who avoids the Holy Ground I have seen the latter on the football forum. Up to admins to decide when someone is going too far and should be on the Holy Ground.

I normally enjoy listing to Sportsound and catch about 30 minutes of it on my drive to work on a Saturday.

Yesterday it felt like I listened to a 30 minute debate on VAR with the occasional minor update on games thrown in. Talk about issues like that before the games and focus on the games which are on!

Thought he had retired ffs. Just like Chic Young did who is now in every week absolute dinosaurs. Young genuinely got Goodwin to read the names of his team out to him. Any other manager would have told him where to go and not a chance would he have the cheek to try that with an old firm coach. Wonder if that Hibs fan has been done yet with using a belt on a Rangers player.

Just bumping this to let everyone know that Tom English is still a complete fud. Just in case anyone forgot.

[Fratelli]

English couldn’t wait to ask ‘if the big rebuild job at Hibs was predicated on receiving the Boyle money…’ until Preston reminded him of the Doig £3m…and even then he questioned how much we would have received up front. Complete fool of a man

[Spike Mandela]

I stopped listening during the summer of Jambo relegation angst with Tom English frothing at the mouth once too often along with his BBC Maroon tinted cohorts. No balance, no variety just rage, whining and lots of wind and pish.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Preston said that someone at hibs had described it as a six month loan which we'd done well out of. I reckon £1.5 up front, zero to pay and Boyle getting a chunk of change from his club to piss off

Rugby Tom and 1.5 million for McGinn. Nothing else to say.

[Hibees1973]

Yes, English was ready to put the boot in on Sportsound. Interrupted one of the other pundits, said a wee bit of his piece until the others put him back in his box.

Who knows if Boyle will be the player he was before, no reason why he wouldn't. But seems English has a few pre-written bits about Hibs ready to publish at his whim.

Likewise I'm usually OK with it, but this bit was pretty dire. English sounded like a sad spoilt wee boy, annoyed that Hibs had done something positive.

Possibly worse though was - in the middle of 'open all mikes' and lots of action happening across games - an indepth investigation and discussion of the penalty The Rangers lost last week in Europe. They are obviously trying to make it up to them big time!

I dont listen to him, but the accounts above of his "analysis" of the situation appear to be ludicrously amatuerish.

Although I dislike Alan Preston (Jambo pwick, obvs) he has clearly corrected what English has said.

It says a heck of a lot about our coverage when the BBC Chief sportswriter cant get the basics right, and appears to be running some kind of pathetic vendetta against Hibs.

Hopefully I see him to set him straight in the West tomorrow.:wink:

When English hit the Scottish sport scene, I thought he was a knowledgeable breath of fresh air.

I can’t stand the man and I can’t understand how he has wormed his way into his present lofty position.

I still remember his rant when there was some rumour about the timing of some phone call the Dundee CEO had made to Doncaster. “This isn’t just back page news. This is front page news.” Proclaimed the bold Tom. We barely heard anything more about it. How this guy still earns a wage from the BBC I’ll never know. Absolute clown of a bloke.

Tom English is a ****, end of discussion.

[Carheenlea]

When he first appeared on the scene in Scotland Tom English was a welcome addition with an amiable personality and pragmatic broadcasting style. Was usually the voice of reason on Sportsound.

Has he deliberately changed his style to become more polarising and controversial? While it may well get him more air time and media clicks, I much preferred the older, more interesting to listen to, Tom English.

While it’s no doubt good for work, the downside of being a controversial media figure is that through time everyone sees through your game eventually and very few listeners or readers take you that seriously.

Nah, he was a roaster know-all right from the first day I saw him comment on a rugby match on tv. I recall clearly thinking why the f... is John Beattie fawning over this R Sole's "expertise". I know what Jack and Victor would say to him if they came across him pontificating in his superior manner in The Clansman.
Laughed out loud a few weeks back at the Off The Ball phone-in with the question to the answer. It went something like...if the answer is "Oh you beauty" what's the question? Someone phones in with the question "What did Tom English say the first time he set eyes on Ann Budge?" Tam and Stuart loved it.

[SHODAN]

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.
