I tried to find out who to email but ended up sending a comment to the generic "complaints" address. I've received the standard automated reply. Don't expect anything more.

[lord bunberry]

I don’t think it’s anything to do with a hearts supporting writer, the bbc is merely a failed organisation desperately trying to cling on to the illusion that it is relevant.
What was once a shining light of professionalism for others to aspire to, has become a dumping ground for those that would struggle to find employment elsewhere.
It is peppered with the clinically stupid masquerading as journalists.
You have to admit that it’s a bit strange not to mention the team that’s top of the league. As for the rest of your post, I couldn’t have put it better myself. What a shambolic organisation they have become.

Their news coverage is terrible, apparently they have a requirement of two sources which leads them to slow and minimal information about breaking events. I’ll not go into their bias towards everything pro government- yes they are a government funded institution but they are supposed to be a check and balance not a propaganda machine.

This “don’t watch” nonsense doesn’t apply to a broadcaster which you are literally forced to pay for. BBC should be held to a higher standard obviously.

The only way to deal with Jamboaberdeensound is to finish the day at the top again and simply never listen to them.

Quite astonishing that, in a preview of Sunday's Scottish football, there is no mention of the match of the team sitting top of the league. While this might be quite trivial, it is symptomatic of a rotten media's coverage of Scottish football.

Journalism is an important aspect of accountability and the BBC has a prominent role. There was a complete lack of balance in the BBC's coverage of Hearts' relegation and also the review on continued use of Hampden.

Bias seems to be ingrained in Scottish football and I dont recall any action being taken in response to the systemic geographical bias embedded into Scottish refereeing.

They completely missed out a game from the preview page of the website. It was our game. You wouldn’t know we were playing at all if you relied on the BBC. That just doesn’t happen with other broadcasters and other sports. They are supposed to promote the product and they do the opposite.

What’s embarrassing is the constant parroting of the ‘if you don’t like it switch it off’ cliche. I want to watch proper coverage of the National sport, what’s hard to understand?

Even the morning after the night before the BBC online Sunday preview still makes me seethe. I am not a regular Sportscene watcher but when I do see it we seem to get a fair crack of the whip. It's the online reporting where there is a definite anti-Hibs slant.

Not hatred just utter frustration at just how poor it's become. I've heard better fitba banter in my local. Their reporting is skewed towards the infirm the Hertz and the sheep. It can't just be us whose noticed it. Listening figures i believe are way down. Quel surprise. Very sad to see a grand institution die on its feet. Can't defend this turgid nonsense I'm afraid. It's just excruciating to listen to.

[Eyrie]

I've pointed this out before.

But the problem here isn't that they've missed out our game, it's that there are only six games each week yet the BBC only ever previews four which is sheer laziness. And it's not like the previews are in depth analysis of match ups - it's just a few bland comments requiring minimal effort.

[Since452]

Last summer was a summer of (jambo) discontent. Most beautiful moment came when Doncaster had been interviewed about the money coming from the benefactor for the clubs and budges involvement. No involvement from budge required was what he was told and was happy to get in touch. English was apoplectic

Someone at the BBC has taken the rather odd decision to pick out 4 of the 6 each week when there’s a full card.
It doesn’t look good when the Saturday game is removed and there’s three left standing on a day when four matches are on - but I think it’s a stretch to say it’s indicative of bias against our team.

[hibsbollah]

Why does anyone care.

I’ll give you an actual example; my cousin is in Yorkshire, has a passing interest in Hibs. He whatsapped me yesterday asking who Hibs were playing, I told him and he was baffled why it wasn’t mentioned online (I’m assuming he was looking on the bbc). It’s unlikely he would buy a ticket and go to Dens, admittedly, but he might if he was up there and knew the game was on. In general if there was a better ‘marketing of the Product’ as Gerrard rightly pointed out last season, there’d be more interest all round, awareness, shirt sales etc. That’s why people ‘care’ about media.

BBC Scotland Sports coverage is often shockingly bad - their output is tinged by a lack of professionalism which belies Scotland's status in the eyes of the corporation as a "region" to be paid lipservice to - and the total blanking of the Dundee vs Hibs game is a good example of this. We are all required by law to pay for this service and deserve better.

I see the BBC have acknowledged today that we are actually top in our own right. Couple of weeks back it was about how the yams and sheep were 'sharing top spot' with us despite the fact that if the league had ended that day we'd have been champions. Today's yams report accepts that the sheep are second and the yams third. Nit-picking? Perhaps, but these things matter!

Seen that article before and it is basically corruption. Surprised other refs and associations don't kick up more about it. So basically all the top refs are from Glasgow Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire and can basically do what they want without any recourse and always get the top games. Kind of what we thought was the case anyway especially when Collum Clancy etc can make huge mistake after huge mistake and still get top games. The meteoric rise of Dallas jnr was a perfect case in point so far out of his depth yet got loads of top games. Also maybe creates that entitled arrogant culture which means Madden is comfortable in making up the rules as he did last week.

Lose the BBC and we will see American levels of heavy duty propaganda and influence on our televisions such as we already see online and which we already saw with the gullible being manipulated in the brexit vote by the right wing.
The BBC are not perfect but they are a reliable sane voice in a mad world.
Of course we all need to watch out for government propaganda in their output but thats something an educated person has always done and is no reason to chuck the baby out with the bathwater.

At least with private broadcasters you know that you are getting brainwashed.

I don't agree with your statement that "The BBC are not perfect but they are a reliable sane voice in a mad world." They are a propaganda machine like the rest of them. The most sensible way to follow news is to look at a number of news channels and work out your own opinion on what is reported. Also worth finding out what is happening in the rest of the world as the BBC is far too UK centic.

I personally think Channel 4 news is the best, not perfect but they are not scared to criticise when it is appropriate.

On the football side I think that BBC Radio Scotland are pathetic. Stopped listening to it regularly a while ago and if I do catch it in the car I usually end up switching off after a few minutes. With regard to Sportscene I record it and then fast forward through most of the programme. Not a great fan of the pundits.

Their news coverage is terrible, apparently they have a requirement of two sources which leads them to slow and minimal information about breaking events. I’ll not go into their bias towards everything pro government- yes they are a government funded institution but they are supposed to be a check and balance not a propaganda machine.


Oh no! They seek to corroborate stories before running them? How awful.

For all the problems with the BBC - and there are many - our media would be much much worse without it.

There’s a right wing conspiracy to wreck it and feed the populace a diet of Daily Mail / Telegraph style propaganda instead. If you think that will be Scotland friendly think again.

Don’t fall for it.

Even locally our very own EEN back page headlines not exaggerating when I say (don’t buy it but will pick it up to check back page ) about the wee team across the city even when there is big news coming out of Easter road all is Barry takes over and somehow makes a headline about his own team unbelievable!!!

The podcast had scant mention of the Hibs game yesterday. Result only, no coverage, no interviews, nothing.

It’s because they simply publish the last 30-40 mins of their show ..so naturally they were discussing the later games …

Jesus Covid has made us a real sensitive bunch. :rolleyes:

If the team keep wining they will have no choice but to talk about us. It's as simple as that.

They could have edited in 5 minutes from the earlier game surely? Pure laziness.

Per BBC "Hearts Aberdeen was a pulsating draw".
Per my Jambo golf mate this morning "it was a dire watch".
Who to believe?

Is the Holy Ground mounting some Taliban style bid to annex the main forum via this thread?

Who to believe?My Jambo pal at work said everyone arrived happy and full of anticipation and by the end they were all unhappy and full of dread for the rest of the season.

Maybe that got the pulses pulsing.

There is probably a thread accusing the BBC or Sportscene or whatever of bias on every football forum of every team in Scotland.

There is no anti-Hibs bias or conspiracy. It's pro-Old Firm vs everyone else. That's it.

You're mate. His description sounds like the match I saw.

Only three games (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58358322) being previewed this week.

Yet another poor effort.

Presumably because there are 3 games today in the Premier league.
