I think I heard this right but they have Craig Thomson ex referee total cheat and Alan Preston on Sportsound right now.

They don’t even hide it do they?

Between Off the Ball and Sportsound, we have Levein, Preston, Derek Ferguson, with Craig Thomson waiting to give us his unbiased opinion. And no one of a Hibs persuasion. Just the usual balance from the BBC. At least (hopefully) no Tom English so far.

as soon as they said on off the ball that LeVain was this weeks guest i turned the radio OFF, listen every week and have been switching off as soon as it finishes since sportsound morphed in to a bbc heartz podcast several months ago, today was the first i've not listened to OTB for a long long time.

Has nobody sussed the reason yet?

Ex Hibs players have proper jobs.

TBF Off the ball did read this out

Hi Tam and Stuart can you confirm it is now compulsory to have a a former Hearts employee on every BBC sports show? Great to hear Craig wax lyrical about 5-1 and Natural Order. 🤔 Sam in Edinburgh yes I am Hibs fan.

Before the 2013 final v Celtic she was asked on Talksport who she wanted to win and said neither because she was a Hearts fan. I thought that was pretty pathetic coming from someone who at the time had recently managed Hibs.

Rough as old boots. Fits the mould perfectly.

Craig Levein making an absolute plum of himself on Off the ball.

Stated that he wants Rangers to win the league, tore into Michael Stewart and unbelievably defending his 4-6-0.

And his undying love for Anne.

I thought he was good on OTB today.
I agree with him about the 10 in a row keek. He said he is sick of hearing about 10 in a row so wants Rangers to win the league to put an end to it. Fair enough for me.
Re Stewart he was asked do you not like each other and why. He answered it rather than avoiding it.
His talk about Budge was fair enough as well.
He went on to say Hearts were wrong to sack him so he is of course still deluded and a fud

I heard that and the response was they’d had a few Hibs minded folk on lately so that was fine. Didn’t scratch the surface of the point of the question though.

Yes,really poor and quite defensive in a dismissive way, no sense of awareness or they are indeed part of the problem.

**CMurdoch** · 31-10-2020 03:27 PM

Open all mikes have just gone to Derek Ferguson after a disallowed goal in the Dunde match.
He starts to describe it and says the linesman has lifted his fag
Cue loads of laughing and Ferguson saying he doesn't advocate smoking.

***H18 SFR*** · 31-10-2020 03:34 PM

The BBC Scotland coverage is awesome today, Micheal Stewart’s mic not working earlier, now Shelly Kerr’s not working.

So sloppy.

I don't mind Craig Levein. I realise this puts me in a minority! He's got quite a dry sense of humour. He's better than most of the erses on Sportsound.

***Jim44*** · 31-10-2020 03:58 PM

Shelley Kerr looks like Cliff Richard with a grey wig.

***Jones28*** · 06-11-2020 09:16 PM

Willie Miller is a ****ing ********. Revelling not only in Aberdeen winning, but in us getting beat.

I turned it on after the game and heard him and thought he was very fair with his comments. Not sure what you heard him say that got you all excited?

He said we should have had a penalty and free kick with possibly a red card.

***Jones28*** · 06-11-2020 10:25 PM

I thought he was a prick, funny that. Opinions eh?

Indeed. Which doesn’t really tie in with the other poster’s view.

Not during the game he didn't- he only agreed after he'd been presented with more evidence. Radio commentator said Pen, Willie wasn't sure, even after the guy back at BBC said - looks like a pen - he still wasn't going for it.

That's why refs don't always give pens, they only see it once in real time!!!!

I know it seems very trivial and doesn’t really matter but why is there no representation of Hibernian on sportsound or sport scene? I think Bartley was on a couple of times when he played for us but other than that and Tam McManus who seems to have disappeared is there really no other ex Hibs players interested in representing Hibs on the national broadcaster?

Off the top of my head Celtic have Bonner who gets paid to follow his team around the country regardless of who they’re playing: rangers and hearts have numerous ex players; Aberdeen have Miller and I think Tyrone Smith is an Aberdeen fan, as is Sutherland; and there’s a smattering of others who represent the rest.
