Sportscene 2023-24

[BILLYHIBS]

Rubezic’s elbow to Youan’s face not deemed worthy of showing in the recorded highlights or discussion in the Studio?

Brilliant save from Marsh at 0-0

Good to see Eddie May back on the bench

In fairness Neil McCann was full of praise for SDG and the boys

Lots of time spent discussing how The Rangers and Hearts managed to get beat

Deal with it

Hearts v Aberdeen in two weeks time the first El Sackio of the season ?

No mention of Duks dive either. Do we think it would have been ignored had it been Martin Boyle?

[GreenGray]

Was awful. A 1-0 Hearts loss on before Hibs vs Aberdeen with 2 goals?

Commentator didn’t want to admit Duk dived, didn’t look at potential red card.

The Jambo producer doesn’t exactly try to hide his leanings

The ref clearly pointed for a goal kick but Jambo fud Mitchell was desperate for it to be a penalty and called it as such saying ref had given.

Never even corrected himself and was gutted it wasn’t given.

He tipifies the Jambo bias on the programme.

Wee McCann made a tit of himself re The The’s disallowed goal and Boyces headlock and drag down on McGinn to get him sent off

We played pish. We’ve been playing pish most games. We’ve told the players that. They didn’t stop playing pish.

Paraphrasing, but that’s basically what he said on Sportscene. Not his fault, just the players.

[Jones28]

Just as **** and lazy as it was last year. And the year before. And the year before.

I know we mocked the big iPad but at least it was an attempt at some actual analysis.

McCann's take on the disallowed Hun goal was hilarious, a clear foul on the Sellic player and once he had had the rules explained to him then changes his take on it to say he knew the rule that made the challenge a foul, but that he doesn't agree with the rule .. what a tool :greengrin

The commentary on the Motherwell goal was weird as well. Rather than praising VAR I would have been far more concerned that a lino who was dead in line failed to see that the scorer was about a yard onside when the pass was made, but no mention was made of it.

As for not even showing the assault on Youan in the Hibs highlights, just bizarre, it should have been a huge talking point.

Oh, and as for Mulgrew ..... jeezo I've seen dead stuff on the road on my way to work with more personality.

Glad you noticed that re the 'penalty' claim. That idiot Mitchell was the only person who thought the ref pointed to the spot, even as the ref turned away to run up field.

It's bare minimum effort stuff most weeks, it's a very poor advert for the game.

Little wonder that more and more people are turning towards fan-made content like podcasts and YouTube video

Agreed.

I watched it for the first time in ages last night (just to see Hearts getting gubbed) and it didn't take long for me to remember exactly why I don't watch it.

Terrible commentary and editing of the games, dull and clueless 'pundits' and a general feeling that BBC Scotland are just going through the motions to justify their contract to show highlights on cooncil telly.

BBC Scotland should consider outsourcing the programme to an independent production company who could give it a much needed revamp.

I’m the same. First time I’ve watched the whole programme through for years, really only to see the Huns n Hertz games.😂 What a poor tired show. The overdubbed commentary totally killed any atmosphere from the stadiums, and the presentation and pundits were dire. Another negative is that even though they missed big issues from our match, some of the howlers from the officials in the other games were laughable.

Then tried to make out this was still the case - daftie doubling down.

That said, his multitudinous pronunciations of Youan were even more ridiculous. Yooo-han. Johan. There's nae h in his name...its like Ewan but with a French accent, it's no hard. Bad as Barrie Wilkins and Delferriere 🙈🤣

[SChibs]

If people don't like Sportscene so much then why watch it? Plenty of highlights on YouTube. If viewing figures go down then maybe they will invest more money to improve the product

[patlowe]

Said it before on here but for me one of the biggest turn offs is the way the sound is so muffled, I'm guessing because they use whatever is recorded at the ground rather than the expense of additional audio recording (I'm not technical 😂). It's quite an achievement to make some of our biggest games sound like they were played underwater with about 10 folk there. Maybe I'm splitting hairs but it takes away from the whole production IMO.

You can't argue with any of this. Hell, even with folk sitting in chairs in a tiny studio taking turn about to talk they still managed to cut to a camera as it was panning for the next shot ... this must be where new guys go to learn the ropes because nobody cares if they screw up.
One thing the show did highlight in stark reality is how the Uglies have absolutely killed their derby stone dead with their spat over away fans ... no matter how unpalatable the pish that fueled it's atmosphere, without it it's just another game no matter how much the programme tried to bum it up.

I can think of at least two You Tubers I watch who do films about Scottish football who have bags of personality and project far more enthusiasm and positivity about our game than 90% of the dolts they have on Sportscene, be that presenters or pundits.
One of them is a Scottish lad and the other a young English guy who lives in Scotland and who seems far more clued in about Scottish football than they appear to be. He can make our game seem more exciting and interesting and makes far more entertaining content than the BBC with nothing more than a mobile phone and production facilities that probably consist of a laptop and a couple of cables.

The only folk I would keep are Michael Stewart ( though even he seems to have been affected by the malaise around the show ) James McFadden, who I quite like on coverage of the championship games and big Marv when they have him on.

But I mean jeezo .. you know it's bad when an American working for a TV channel nobody has ever heard of was a better commentator and more clued in about both teams than what we get on Sportscene's coverage.

This show needs an absolutely massive revamp with new blood, new production facilities and an injection of enthusiasm that doesn't make the show look and sound like an hour long advert for over 50s life cover.

It's an easy retirement home for our of work footballers, managers and agents, part of the Scottish football gravy train, nobody that works on this or Sportsound will want change as they all could lose the easy income. It's lazy and antiquated and isn't interested in doing any decent analysis, with illiterate fools there to balance out the old firm representative. How the likes of Kenny Miller can be put on they tiny wee sofa as some kind of expert is just taking the piss.

It has always felt that neither BBC Weegie or STV took Scottish football seriously, as if it was all some kind of big joke.

:agree:


It’s how they can get so many different “experts” on, all of whom manage to talk without either sounding enthusiastic or add anything worth hearing. There’s zero input that makes you think ‘oh, I never picked up on that’, or analysis that shows you something. It’s all cliches and ‘top top player’ stuff.


Contrast it with MotD for example, the pundits there generally appear like they want to be there and like talking about football, and usually will have at least one bit of analysis per match that demonstrates why a team were successful or indeed unsuccessful - the analysis of Man Utd not feeding the ball to Antony on MotD2 on Sunday evening was insightful about the match and gave indications of how Ten Haag wants to play. Night and day.

[heretoday]

I used to prefer listening to journalists like Bob Crampsey or Arthur Montford rather than ex-pros who, by and large, were inarticulate. They're better able to express themselves now like Mikey Stewart but often what comes out is banter and cliched waffle. I am soooo tired of it.

Comical defending by Hearts at the goal.

[Ryan91]

Shocker of a VAR decision to not give Saints a 2nd.

[BILLYHIBS]

St Mirren flying some good players

Should have won 3-0 easy

Gogic a standout

Don’t know why the Hearts #2 doesn’t clear the cross into the box for Ryan Strain’s tap in at the far post

Never a foul for the St Mirren second

VAR showed the highest line as maroon which meant the St Mirren scorer onside for the third and it took them 3.40 minutes to arrive at the wrong decision

The game’s a bogey I tell ye !

[Renfrew_Hibby]

VAR just highlights the utter and total incompetence of our so called officials.
How a team of refs watching various replays can come to those decisions proves my point.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Thought the offside in the hearts game was difficult to tell from the terrible angle they have but the goal when the guy slips it under the keeper after out muscling the defender is never a foul in a million years.

Agreed. You can see the Hearts players reaction is one of 'I f***ed up'.

For the offside, I fail to see the clear and obvious error for VAR step in

[PatHead]

Surprised no one has criticised the Hearts goalie at the goal. Should have done better. Marshall would have been hammered on here.

Maybe Craig Gordon's extra points have begun to hurt them.

Scotland almost needs a different rule for offside. In England - once past the initial 'goal disallowed by a toenail' element of things - offside is cut and dry. Up here the camera angles we're saddled with are so pish that it's fairly common the technology can't give a definitive answer.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Sportsound (Mikey Stewart) especially slating the ref for sending off McInnes and sportscene suggesting the same,WTF?

Are they saying that it’s ok for managers to interfere with play irrespective of whether the ball went out or not? From the footage it was inconclusive whether the ball had crossed the line. The ref had every right to send him off?

He didn’t have every right. He had to. Thems the laws. He entered the field of play during the game.

[Keepthefaith]

this is the problem with our current pundits - if that had been Johnson or Monty, pretty sure they would have reframed it as "he should have known better / ref had no option". they're so selective in how they frame incidents. Porto was a prime example, any time he went to ground after being challenged he was accused of diving, if its the rangers, they reframe it as contact was made and he had a right to go down / make the ref make a decision. sickens me!

on the plus side, they were quite complimentary about our attacking play for once!

[Hibby70]

on the plus side, they were quite complimentary about our attacking play for once!

You could tell they were spewing having to admit it though, esp Thompson

They were complimentary but only after laying a lot of emphasis on what the claimed was poor defending by StJ. "Look how bad they were, look how bad they were, look how bad they were, but Hibs were good.

Well from what I’ve read on here and heard on the radio you’d be forgiven for thinking hearts didn’t have a single yellow card in the first half and Hibs were making up the numbers instead of actually having some dangerous attacking moments.

Yup, he should have been.

they didn't show a really nasty tackle of Joe, didn't show our VAR handball, or a passage in the second half when we had a number of blocked shots and were really pushing. first half we had a few attacks early on where Boyle got in behind also but didn't show it.

really biased once again in the words of Keegan I'll love it, just love it when we beat them!

The tackle on Joe from Shankland should have went to VAR - Shankland is a wee coward of a player and for me that was cynical and to injure JN - Joe should have stayed down but was up on his feet quick. Shankland is a wee coward of a player and refs need to clamp down on him 👍

Dreadful, really dreadful editing of a game. Those yam b#@£&%#s had two yellow cards in the first 10 min of the game, nothing shown by bbc. Would have been good for people like me that weren't at the game to have seen just what was going on. We supposedly had a shout for a penalty, not by the highlights though, showed their shout though. Why was Sibbik not booked for simulation ?
On a second note, we should sign Sibbick, after all, he did set up Youan for 2 goals within 90 seconds, more than any hibs player did.

Very odd highlighting the Fish yellow. Shanklands yellow should have been highlighted as should have both handball claims

Who will finish highest in the League?

‘Hearts’

Neil McCann without hesitation

No surprise there then

I would love it just love it

Don’t know how Vargas never got booked 4 fouls that would normally merit at least a talking to and a card

Showed Fish’s booking ignored Devlin and Shankland’s the penalty claim the stramash in the Hearts box and made us out to be the villains

Sky Sports missed out big time probably the best game of the day in the UK

It was no more than a yellow and he got that.

Showed the booking on Fish but not the two earlier ones they received. Never mentioned that the penalty VAR for them was a ridiculous dive and then never showed our penalty VAR which by the sounds of it was a far stronger claim.

I disagree. They cut it so it looked like a hearts onslaught until we scored. Never even showed when Boyle was hacked down when through on goal.

Also have you noticed every summary of a hibs goal they talk about the opposition errors and hardly ever mention good play from us.

There was a moment in the first half today when Miovski - I think it was - somehow failed to score. Think Marshall made a save and maybe Miovski hit the post. Can't remember. And now I'll never know as it wasn't even included in the highlights. It's so mince it's astonishing.

I can’t remember if it was that chance or another golden opportunity but after viewing it I’m certain had they scored it would have been ruled out for offside. It wasn’t highlighted as such just down as a miss.

Edit - it was when he hit the post second half.

it hit the post initially and then Marshall stopped it going in.

Sportscene is a joke

The anti hibs theme on the bbc I know / hope must be rubbish but nothing is ever reported on us in depth or in too much details. Neil McCann talks very well of us last week.

This week when beating the media darlings it’s just portrayed they were unlucky rather than Monty and Hibs doing anything positive


St Mirren and Motherwell always seem to get the love as they seem to punch above their weight card

Hibs on the other hand, card of a big failed club is the portrayal bbc seem to play out. bbc is a joke

[Carheenlea]

I haven’t seen the highlights in full yet, but did see some footage online of the Aberdeen penalty. Was hard to see clearly of the handball so wondering if they had any better angles on Sportscene? Couldn’t really see much of the contact at game either but it was obviously a correct call given the lack of any serious protest from players at time.

[BILLYHIBS]

Hibs on last again

Shock horror !!

[BILLYHIBS]

Michael Stewart doesn’t miss Barry Robson or that thug Rubezic 😂

[RyeSloan]

Yup, said he had one foot off the ground so an outstretched arm was a natural position for balance.

Which is true but it’s also true that it was a clear penalty.

Thought the coverage was actually OK tonight and while I’d have liked a bit more analysis of the shape / style that we play it was also fun listening to Mikey ripping the Aberdeen defender [emoji1787]

It was a clear pen imo.

[Rumble de Thump]

Referees tend to believe that arms being in a natural position always means they should be tucked in at the body, which is obviously not the case. Referees don't display enough thought or understanding in this regard, but you could say that about Scottish referees in general. If they don't understand how to apply the handball rule properly they shouldn't even be refereeing amatuer games.

[Hibernian Verse]

On Sportsound Willie Miller was talking about how St Mirren were doing really well to be where they are given that the big 3 outside the Old Firm were in the bottom six.

No William, it's your darlings that are in the bottom six and almost in the playoff place.

[Aldo]

Having watched our first quite a few times I think we are doing the management team and players a disservice here. I think they’ve done their homework on the Aberdeen CH’s. Watch Vente’s run. He’s initially on the halfway line and just prior to Marshall kicking it he turns and makes a run away from Martin. The Aberdeen player follows him leaving Martin one on one.

This wasn’t the first time we had tried this with Martin being unlucky a short time earlier with a similar move.

As for Robson. What a bitter prick of a man

This is the problem - as a highlights show its pretty desultory to the whole league. Basically the show is not long enough and the highlights too brief for EVERY game - such that you can pretty much guarantee major incidents will be missed in all but the most boring 0-0 games.

Yes the highlights are pretty poor and old firm games apart very short and don’t tend to give you a decent insight to the game imo. The fact the programme goes out at 7 sometimes only a couple of hours after the game also lends itself to the view it is rushed and not enough appropriate care and thought given to the production.

[Carheenlea]

Giving more air time to dull men talking in cliches about football to actual football highlights is a bit of a head scratcher to me.

Is this really what viewers want? With cameras at every game in top flight, why not offer more highlights from each game and forget about half - interested pundits droning on stating the obvious.

Might get more folk deciding to tune in.

[ancient hibee]

Presumably the BBC contracts to show a certain amount of highlights and to show more would cost more. I don’t know who actually owns the the rights-which companies do the televising-it’s certainly not the BBC.

That’s a possibility right enough.

That said, who else is showing highlights from all those games they are filming in their entirety? Feels like a lot of effort to go to in order to just show two or three minutes of footage. Sky show even less.

Yeah that’s the one they were talking about. I can see why they thought it was a penalty.

The offside one they both said they could see it was clearly offside straight away and were baffled by it going to screen for review (one of them suggesting it was to buy VAR time to draw offside lines)

Never a penalty. If players got awarded penalties every time they stuck the leg in and threw themselves to the ground, then all the teams in the league would have a penalty record up there with The Rangers.

Watched the programme this morning. "faddy" reckons he's trying to change directing and get in front. No idea what he's looking at as he makes no moves to go left other than flinging his left leg out to make contact.

At the game, just looked like he'd thrown himself forward looking for a Pen.

On our game i expected much more chances for forfar based on what I read earlier

They only had 2 shots on target. You wouldn’t know that by some of the comments on here. Mainly from people who weren’t at the game mind you.

[Bostonhibby]

Did I see right - sportscene had Wollacott starting in midfield instead of Jeggo, on the lineup graphic before the highlights?

Did strike me as a bold move.Monty's got to stop playing folk upside down as well. Never works in a 442. All the blood rushes to their head.

I'm surprised none of the experts on sportscene never had a go at Hibs for allowing this to happen.

That’s what happens when you come here from Oz

[Bostonhibby]

I do think playing a keeper upside down in midfield will improve us there though so maybe the sportscene experts are trying to help us for once?

I don't think there's an anti Hibs agenda at all, standards across the board in the BBC have plummeted in recent years. I've seen some brutally amateur reporting in the political and sporting world, gone are the days when you needed the qualifications for a post.

Ever since journalists started trying to drive the news rather than report it. Same applies to game commentary. Tell us what’s happening and stop trying to to be pseudo coaching experts

Just watched it - it's funny that two of the pundits (the non Hibs ones) seem to think we were lucky to get through. the team who needed an injury time winner were described as "always going to win the tie"

As for the Hibs Team line up graphic, how utterly poor was that

All the game highlights are usually available to watch on the iplayer. I just choose what one I want to watch without the uninvited slavers.

Sportscene is more pundit than match action (or it was the last time I watched a long time ago). Quite why we need someone to hold our hand after the game and tell us what we have just watched is always a mystery to me.

Cut back on pundits and show more football. A host and highlights reels is all anyone really needs.

There's the same amount of analysis/informed opinion/****** as match action. The difference in quality matches the difference in investment. Far more freelancers working for the beeb and no time for an editor to check the team lines before broadcast in a rush to match SKY with the goal action.

Dougie Donnaly or Richard Gordon were the best days.

Scotsport before the ballsed it up was good. Jim Whyte and one guest was all that was needed.

That's exactly what I've just done, thought Stuart Lovell summed up the Hibs performance very well, unlike some of the hysterical comments on.net.

Almost as weird as bbc listing Jair in the online lineups as ‘da Veiga Vieira Tavares’ presumably the only footballer they know of with middle names. I suspect they either populate online and highlights using really crap software that poorly sources resources … or someone is having a laugh.

Maybe I am re-writing history and getting nostalgic already I don't know, but I never minded Richard Gordon bar a few comments on Hibs that may have irked me. His will be the voice that sticks with me anyway.

How much of a downgrade now to "I shouldn't mention VAR haha lol, lets talk about VAR, VAR VAR VAR - as we said earlier in the programme, and we'll see this later on the programme, coming up on the programme, a million filler words to get to the point without saying much at all Kenny M".

I'm surprised anyone would think we're an anti-establishment club, do you think the owners and board will go along with that statement? I think not.
That kind of mindset is best left to the Green Brigade who some think Palestine is some kind of play dough.

It's nothing to do with how our owners, board or fans perceive ourselves, it's others perceptions of us. The leader of the BNP recently claimed we were all IRA supporting sc@m. Fans of the Rangers have been known to have similar views, given their insistence that they wish to wade in our "fenian" blood.

The BBC in Scotland showed us all what they think of us when we beat the Rangers in the 2016 Cup Final.

This like MOTD is recorded and all the sheite inbetween the highlights are fast forwarded.

BBC Scotland missed something, ie our victory parade. Yet a few weeks earlier they showed Ross County parading the league cup in front of a pipe band and a few hundred locals .

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

I watched it for the first time in ages yesterday in order to catch the draw

I couldn't believe how amateur it was. It might be that the in-depth analysis came on Saturday night but Sunday's show was pathetic - Where's the video analysis or break down of moves that led to goals or chances? Embarrassing

As for the draw, again technology - they insist on using numbers but we're all left at home sitting wondering who we're facing as, at a maximum we retained knowledge of the numbers of maybe 4 or 5 teams (ourselves plus the 3 teams we really didn't want to face. Where's the vidiprinter showing teams and numbers or the teams already drawn?

We do ourselves no favours when we refuse to modernise our shows

[heretoday]

Confined to barracks on Saturday I listened to the radio all afternoon.
Off the Ball and Sports Sound.
I've given up yearning for Bob Crampsey or even Archie McPherson on the football front. It's about entertainment now i.e. banter between guys in an attempt to recreate a sort of pub session. Indeed, some of the participants on Sportsound had had a couple. I'm sure of it as the atmosphere got increasingly manic as the afternoon went on.
The BBC has decided to go in this direction and given the poor quality of football north of the border you can't blame them. You'd cry if you didn't laugh.
Frankly, I didn't hear any Hibs bias although we can safely assume Preston wants us to lose. He's a Hearts man. Get over it! Actually, he was at least reporting the action in some detail.

Fair point,certainly historically, Hibernian and the supporters have been viewed as anti-establishment and treated accordingly by those in powerful positions.

As for BBC Scotland it has the lowest satisfaction levels of all the "nations".

Not sure how comparing your views to the Green Brigade and Celtic bear any kind of scrutiny.

Apart from all that,Sportscene is really dire but Sportsound is just beyond even that.

I had it wrong. It was Jim Delahunt that did the Sunday just himself and one other guest and that was quite good.

The Jim Whyte was before that and that had Gerry Mcknee and Paul somebody, they ended the show with a phone in.

Saturday night only showed some games but the Sunday had it all.

There was very little action detail from Preston. Hibs all over the place. They can’t defend. All that despite the Sportscene highlights showing us defending set pieces and one break away. Followed by Hibs have upped it in the second half. It really is very poor.,

Wasn’t there and hate forming an opinion on so called highlights. From said highlights once we had our better players on the pitch it was more or less one way traffic and only a matter of time before we scored and went through.

Yet a few weeks earlier they showed Ross County parading the league cup in front of a pipe band and a few hundred locals .Reporting Scotland were too busy pushing the Rangers line that "every Rangers player was assaulted" to show any of our celebrations, which is what I was referring to above.
