Bbc sportsound bias confirmed

[maturehibby]

Was on a number 4 bus today going up to Fairmilehead and after the Railway bridge on the right hand side is a huge advertising board .
All electronic with a lot of pictures .
Had a look and saw it switch to a BBC Sportsound advert with a picture of Skatchel and a 5-1 sign on it .
Surely they must know that this advert disgusts a lot of Hibs fans as they don't want to let it fade into the distance (at least I do )
There might be other bill hoards with this up and hopefully the one outside the Famous five stand has not got it there .
Bad taste says me

Think they have billboards tailored to their location. Drove past one lit up in green with Boyle on it recently I'm sure.

The one just after the lights at Seafield going towards The Jewel has SDG lifting the cup.

So I think it’s a location thing and not some sort of bias 😂

Billboards aside. Why hasn't that massive gable end outside the FF stand got a Hibs related mural on it? I could be wrong but I think there's one outside Tynecastle with Hearts stuff on it and there's a few gable ends in Leith with murals on.

Block 7 seem to have been busy with the paint outside the FF recently ..... has nobody ever tried to find out if a mural on that otherwise bare and boring gable end is possible?

What I choose to remember about the wee twat is his return to Easter Road with Raith Rovers. He ran about for an hour or more trying to give it the 'big un' during which time he failed utterly to make a dent and only succeeded in letting down his team mates and manager by totally forgetting he was part of a team and making it all about him ..... I was frankly astonished his boss let him come out for the second half .... possibly the most unprofessional performance I have ever seen from an away player at Easter Road.

He certainly loathed us a great deal more than he liked Hearts. Was happy to ride the Romanov gravy train while charities were being raided and was nowhere to be seen when the club went into administration. :jamboclow

Scacel was a little mercenary rat who achieved diddly squat outside gorgie.

He even got the mutants to pay him a fee to pull pints at a pub trying to drum up cash after they went bust.

He will never have an ounce of the legendary status SDG has or even Lewis S.

Whilst I think it’s a wee bit touchy over the billboard, i think it’s reasonable to query whether we get a fair crack of the whip. Which I don’t think we do. Editorially they are not letting go of us being on weak foundations despite solid performances whereas Hearts not given the same treatment - and as we saw from the weekend Aberdeen winning one game is “a return to winning form” form is not one game. Richard Gordon shamelessly and relentlessly targeted Christian Doige initially due to his poor start but when Hecky left and he went in a run that saw him on the point of a Welsh call-up he was having non of it. All we ask is a fair crack of the whip. I don’t think we do get credit when credit is due I’ve lost count the number of times Hibs managers not interviewed (2 in the last month) over the years not the games mentioned - the coverage of the Edinburgh Derby is poor.

Why is this important ? When clubs are trying to put winning entertainign teams on the park to see nothing but blanket coverage of the uglies you can hardly blame kids or the English for thinking Scottish football is 2 team. We perpetuate that aided by the broadcasters. Difference being BBC is publicly funded

100% right.

Since that 4-1 at Dens Park 23rd Nov 2024, we have lost only once in 15 matches (to Celtic) in all competitions, beating Aberdeen and Hearts along the way.

I dont think Gray and the players get nearly enough kudos for that.

[PatHead]

They said a couple of weeks ago that Hibs had "gone under the radar" in getting to the top 6 whereas Hearts were on a great run. Think they had won 3 in a row then.

There definitely is an imbalance in the way we are covered compared to other clubs.

The only time the 2012 final ever crosses my mind is when wee hearts gimps give it the 5-1 with their fingers at derbies. Hearts fans would have you believe it's on our minds every minute of every day but it really isn't. Just as most hearts fans probably weren't too bothered about the 0-7 13 years later in 1986.

There's entire groups of adolescents at Easter Road now (including Block 7) who have next to no memory of that day. It's all a bit precious getting wound up by it now. A hell of a lot has happened in football and the world since 2012.

Of course there is. Its not paranoia; substandard media types especially when they feel like they have a job for life like they do at BBCSS have no reason to be impartial, so they’re not. Why would you be? Im pretty sure i would be too in fact.

Is there any recent examples of it being claimed were on weak foundations or something similar?

On sportscene the discussion around Hibs was that it was never a second yellow and praise for Smith. It was mentioned we didn’t play well but we remain unbeaten and get up the road with a decent result and it keeps our run going. The BBC website mentions that a new found resilience is impressive and that it looks likely to cement us a top 6 place.

Now im aware thats only one source (BBC), but largely speaking, thats the kind of stuff ive been seeing about Hibs recently. It’s certainly not been discussions around us being built on weak foundations.

The week before, it was mentioned in the BBC match report for the Ayr game about our ‘stellar form’. Again, no mention of anything negative. Likewise the week before when we beat Aberdeen. Infact the BBC report mentions that we should surely be looking to overtake Aberdeen.

Aberdeen have won 2 in a row now. Nothing earth shattering, but it’s not wrong that they’re back to winning form.

The Old Firm get by far the most coverage because it’s what the majority of the football population want to see. Should Spartans get the same coverage as us?

Not really. It sounds like it annoys you when people have a different view to you, and instead of constructive argument you just resort to the ‘just like Celtc’ thing, which is cheap and predictable deflection.

[Smartie]

Another thread that looks like it's come straight out of Kerrydale Street.

There was a time (absolutely not now) when the Celtic fans probably had justification for their paranoia.

Whether or not we get a fair kick on the ball on Sportsound is a reasonable question.

I stopped listening long ago, other than the odd, very rare occasion. When I do listen, I don't think we do.

Going against the grain, I think that Mikey Stewart is maybe the only one who does give us a fair kick of the ball - slaughters us when we deserve it, happily praises us when we deserve it, as it should be.

Not that I agree with every one of his opinions.

[Paulie Walnuts]

We’ve established there’s Hibs versions of the advert elsewhere. We’ve established that there’s been next to no real negative comments regarding Hibs on the BBC recently. Despite that people will continue to claim there’s anti Hibs biases and conspiracies.

It absolutely is ‘just like Celtc’.

Theres been no negative comments because we’re on a historic run of form. It would be odd if they criticised us now. That doesn’t disprove anything.

So just to be clear, we receive negative comments when we’re pish. We don’t when we’re not, infact we have the BBC regularly praising us in their reporting just now. This is a sign of anti Hibs bias.

Yeah, this is most definitely all a bit Celtc.

An equally dull and logic-free response to that would be 'Paulie, you slavishly gobble up all the establishment bias you're fed, therefore, you are Just Like a Rangers or Hearts Fan!'.

I think its probably more sensible and less infantile to just agree that you think the BBC are a paragon of objectivity, I think they are not, and thats absolutely fine to have a different opinion without all the snide wee digs.

[SickBoy32]

Stunned that folk canny see the BBC bias, it’s literally everywhere 😂

It exists in their reporting of global affairs, UK party politics and indeed even filters down to their coverage of Scottish football (which for the avoidance of doubt, definitely does have a pro hearts / anti hibs undercurrent).

What I have heard over the years is a distinct bias against Hibs on their BBC Sportsound programme over the years. It doesn't make me angry and I don't dwell or fret about it, it's simply there. They do give Hibs credit in their reportage or criticise us when we're bad. That's OK. What exists on the show is a group of people who take great delight in Hibs being defeated whilst over-egging everything Hearts do. It's been like that for years and shows little sign of changing. I find it funny that you think that's paranoia when it's been going on season after season but your entitled to your viewpoint.

And yet funnily enough, Hearts fans think the opposite and reckon that they’re pro Hibs and anti Hearts. The very first result when searching for Brian McLaughlin Sportsound, who is regularly held up on here as the anti-christ, comes up with a kickback thread that is essentially just the exact same as what folk are claiming here, except with an anti Hearts agenda and a pro Hibs bias being mentioned - https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/topic/185741-the-bbc-sportsound-pundits/

A quick search on twitter for Sportsound shows Aberdeen fans slaughtering the show. Following that, we’ve got St Johnstone fans suggesting a vendetta against them with another St J fan calling it relentless. and DU fans slaughtering the show. Rangers fans quickly follow suggesting Sportsound are running a campaign to get rid of clement and start unrest at their club.

The truth really is that they report what they see. When we’re guff, they’ll say we’re guff. When we’re decent, they’ll say we’re decent, and on the odd occasion we’re very good, they’ll say that as well. When hearts are crap theyll say they’re crap. When hearts are good they’ll say they’re good.

The sad fact of the matter is, we’ve been so poor for so long that we’ve rightly been criticised for ages. It’s not bias to criticise Hibs when we’re *****, much the same as it’s not bias to praise Hibs when we’re good.

I’m actually surprised some people on here haven’t packed in watching football.

If I was convinced that there was institutional bias against Hibs that was going to stop us from ever achieving anything as some on here claim after every single game, I’d give it up. What would be the point in watching that charade? There can’t be any enjoyment in watching football if you actually believe that the refs and the governing body are cheating and never going to let you do anything of note.

In favour of the Old Firm and against Hibs are two entirely separate things.

You can come on here after any game, against any team, and there’s people with their tinfoil hats on telling us about the anti catholic conspiracy against Hibs (but not against Celtic, the team that scream from the rooftops about how catholic they are, naturally) or how we’re being punished for winning a cup 9 years ago.

[PHeffernan]

Cringe thread title.
An opinion masquerading as fact.

IMO Sportsound has deteriorated since Richard Gordon stepped down with the new guy taking the programme down a more tabloid and populist route.
However, the BBC is still the only place to tune into and watch if you are interested in Scottish football below the top tier.
No other broadcaster covers football outside that level.

I quite enjoy hearing the opinions of pundits - even if I don’t agree with them. I like having a debate over whether something was a foul or if we’ve made a good signing or the like. It’s what football is about.

Imagine tuning into a TV show and nobody puts forward their opinion. It’d be really ****ing dull.


About half of every matchday thread is people complaining that a commentator said something they dont agree with.

Total cringe of a thread.

Nothing is confirmed other than we have fans on here who have yet to grow a set!Says the guy with a waver thin skin if someone dares disagree.

:agree:

I’m actually surprised some people on here haven’t packed in watching football.

If I was convinced that there was institutional bias against Hibs that was going to stop us from ever achieving anything as some on here claim after every single game, I’d give it up. What would be the point in watching that charade? There can’t be any enjoyment in watching football if you actually believe that the refs and the governing body are cheating and never going to let you do anything of note.Well that's you then. You're the guy who would give up.
