I like Stewart and Thompson, Jonathon Sutherland not so much but he's not desperately bad. I think it's got a lot better over the last year or 2 (especially since we're back on it :greengrin) but it just feels a bit rushed, especially the analysis bits.
Still not great highlights though.... pretty much showed our goals and their close chances... not a true reflection of the game yesterday.
Spend far too much time on the old firm as always.
I think sportscene is fine. Give me that over the over analysis and posturing of match of the day.
My only beef is Thompson continually interrupting Stewart to butt in and state the obvious.
I think Thompson interrupts, as Stewart always seems to find the negative, and can be over critical, although right at the end of the Hibs highlights he quickly got in that the score could have been 3-3????Quote:

I like Stewart and Thompson but agree at times they tend to talk over each other.
On another note - any idea how Stevie Maclean can now play on artificial pitches? He never used to be able to get insurance and all Rob Maclean done was acknowledge that without explaining what’s changed.
Suffered 10 minutes of their Saturday results show at 3pm. David Currie, McFadden, Thompson and Shelley Kerr watching all the SPFL games. McFadden and Thompson missed a couple of goals talking drivel.
Shelley Kerr was the best of them by a long way.
Sunday's was better. Stewart and Thompson are ok.
Sportscene is a pretty good show. Sutherland, Stewart and Thomson are all fine.
It's a very good show when Hibs win :greengrin
its now better than the trumpets on Sportsound.
Still undecided on the new studio but that’s just me being picky. Sutherland’s gone up in my rating somewhat over the last season or so but I still wish they’d find someone better to be hosting it. I like Stewart and Thompson, they give you the good cop bad cop pairing and can add extra entertainment at times. Only moan would be I thought our game got the least amount of highlights last night than anyone else? Seemed to just be the three goals but then again there wasn’t much else to show.

Thought Thompson and Stewart found Gerrards not in the same class comment highly amusing presenter guy was trying not to laugh.
I think it's fine.
It getting better and both pundits are decent.
Highlights just seem to be thrown together though without a timescale or build up.
Watched sportscene extra today and all they covered was Gerrard, Rangers, Gerrard,Gerrard,Gerrard,The Ref,Morelos and some more Gerrard. So frustrating waiting for any discussion about Hibs that never came. Steven Thompson to his credit tried on numerous occasions to change the subject to literally anything else only for Jonathan Sutherland to drag it back to Gerrard. It was embarrassing and a waste of time for anybody who isn't a rangers fan with bampot conspiracy theories swirling round their head. If they empty Sutherland it would be decent watch imo.

Is there a reason Thompson constantly refers to us as Hibernian rather than Hibs?
I thought it wasn't one of the better shows. Michael stewart likes to explain things which he does great on the radio or live games but it all seems rushed especially the bit at the end of our bit about sjm. It's almost as if they are not sure what sutherland was going to ask them. Maybe a little more rehearsing and they will be fine. As for the 3-3 from thommo. Deary me.
Because thats what the club is called, Hibernian. :agree:Quote:

You'd hope Hearts didn't put any pressure on him in this regard eg At 36 you'll be retiring soon so this will be your last move. If you want it to happen you need to make yourself available for every game.
He does it more than anyone else on television or radio though, mate.Quote:

Stewart and Thompson do a decent job as pundits, however it has way too much of pundit 'chat' versus actual game highlights. It needs the amount of time of actual game footage increased.
I still lament not getting Sportscene on a Saturday night like we used to. I accept that given the amount of Sunday football now we clearly need it on Sunday night as well. Seems easy enough to do with Match of the Day. I also thinks it's a shame we get virtually nothing from lower leagues now.
Strangely used to love the old Division 1 highlights from a few years back when it was on STV, Scotsport First I think it was called. The SPL version was horrible though. Big daft studio audience with a 5 aside goal infront of them, presenters were torture as well. Still watched it religiously right enough...Quote:

Disgusting. They should be forced to get rid of it or play all their home games at a neutral venue. What does UEFA say about this nonsense?
Scotland has some terrible football broadcasters.
It was ever so. Pros like Mountford and Crampsey don't grow on trees.
Would be funny if Killie complained about itQuote:

It was Arthur Montford. Championed the phrases: ‘He really biffed it!’ and ‘’Stramash!’ 😬
Also, judging early on...how bad are Dundee and Motherwell?
Both have pitiful forwards.
The SPFL need to have a serious word with Livi regarding that pitch, just watch the players that get injured on that, what a f***ing embarrassment for Scottish football.

I think they are all excellent. Not really sure what people who complain about them expect from them to make them better tbh.Quote:

I think the pundits are good, I like Stewart and Thompson but the actual content in terms of highlights and analysis is poor.
Could do with it being a longer show to allow for more analysis and better highlights, the pundits on MOTD are crap but the highlights are longer and analysis more in depth.
Presumably those that want rid of OAM never watch Sky/BT SportsBBC/Peter and Roughie sitting on a studio when someone watching a game on a video feed screams goal? Presumably watching your phone on Live score is more fun? Half the participants are mince but at least you get a live update. Since it's on the radio you can be doing other things same time. Can't always get to a game...

That was a stonewall penalty for Aberdeen yesterday
There was people saying yesterday Hanlon got the ball
Wit...
Yeah stone-waller. I'd say Boyle should have got a penalty in the 1st half though so tough cookies.Quote:

At the game from our angle Paul goes in, ball moves, then player falls over. Looked like a great tackle. Slo mo and reruns show it should have been a pen. Didn't need a replay to see we should have had a pen when Consadine pushes Boyle off the ball in the box.

Will have to have a look. But if one angle shows he touches the ball, he’s touched the ball 😉Quote:

Albas coverage is pretty basic, Hanlons missed and caught the guy, stone waller. Camilles right.
Need to get a new telly mate! 🤤

Yesterday at half-time there was an interview with Steve Cowan which was interesting. Does anyone trust what BBC Scotland transmits anymore?Quote:

The worst decision by far for me was the one against Killie in favour of the yams. Killie boss Clarke had every right to be outraged as that was never a sending off. Debatable whether it was even a foul. Collum did the yams a huge favour there and gave them a massive helping hand.
Roll on next week. Livi away I think and should be an opportunity to get all three points.
Said at the match Paul got a toe on the ball although some around me disagreed - I`ve seen nothing on the highlights to change my mind.
I'd have expressed it as "Glory Lurker's right" myself, but there you go. :-)Quote:

I thought it was the right call at the time too and so I can absolutely see why you think it was but looking at the replays it’s definitely one we got away with. Still, they got away with one on Boyle which McInnes was strangely quiet about
Ach it was a pen all day long...Hanlon never touches the ball.
But Boylers was a pen as well...clear shove in the back.
Killie red was never a sending off either!
Finally how woeful did StMirren look in the ‘highlights’ of their game. Wow!
Me neither. I see a clear change of direction for the ball after Hanlon toes it and before Ferguson stretches for it, regardless of what the commentator says... but then he hadn't watched it as many times as I have before he said it :greengrinQuote:

I've been in no doubt for some time, but yesterday highlighted that Willie Collum is no longer fit to referee football at the top level.
Some of his decisions were absolutely honking, no more so than the red card for Dicker. Both Killie and Hearts can probably also feel aggrieved not to have been given a couple of penalties each too. Sadly, the only person who'll get in trouble will be Steve Clarke for calling out Collum after the game.
Welcome to the dark side!Quote:

He unquestionably played the ball first - why a corner not given I just put down to ***** officials.
It was a penalty.
I think you will find it wasn’t as the referee never gave it!😂Quote:

The theatrics do him no favours. At the game, I thought it was a blatant dive and should have been a yellow. From the replay it looks like it was probably a penalty, but the way he throws his arms up and drops to the ground isn't consistent with a trip so I can see why the ref decided it wasn't a penalty.
Must be in the Ferguson genes. :greengrinQuote:

The reason for the change of ball travel direction is because Ferguson hits the ball with the inside of his left foot a fraction before Paul gets there... between 1:00 and 1:01
They didn’t discuss McGregor deliberately knew dropping Hartley yesterday - Craigan called it out in commentary but nothing mentioned on sportscene.
On at 6 pm.
Looking forward to seeing this '50-50' challenge which led to a broken leg.
What a stinking goal
Souttar=Rio Ferdinand apparently :faf:
