Sportsound

[ekhibee]

After I'd finished watching the game last night I tuned into Sportsound for the last 15-20 mins, I don't think Hibs were even mentioned, it was all Aberdeen apart from 30 seconds or so about Celtic. Maybe just as well I hardly ever listen to that programme nowadays.

[Bostonhibby]

Hearts weren't playing so it defaults to pretty much the Aberdeen Show.

It's a program that's dying on its feet.

Spot on. Willie Miller was embarrassing. Slavering incoherent drivel about Aberdeen in general hardly mentioned their game (which was still on). In fact at one point I'm convinced he was going through the Aberdeen team sheet bumming up each and every one of the players. Not a mention of the Hibs score, post match analysis etc.

I stopped listening years ago

Aberdeen love in and likes of Preston and Miller slavering away, well past it’s sell by date

[Moulin Yarns]

not trying to defend them, god forbid, but they weredoing live commentary of the aberdeen game so it makes sense that was given more coverage.

What I found annoying was there were not seperate text updates for each game on thh BBC Sport web pages. we had all the updates from St Johnstone, Aberdeen and Hibs games all jumbled together. bloody confusing

So, if I've got this right: 2 weeks ago their live coverage was the Aberdeen game while Hibs played Santa C; last week their live coverage was the Aberdeen game again while Hibs played Santa C; and last night they provided live coverage of the Celtic game, the St Johnstone game and the Aberdeen game while Hibs played Rijeka.

What bugs me, is that Saints game on tv and radio. Why not have one or the other so they can spread around commentaries.

[Coco Bryce]

Show is full of wallopers.

Preston/English/Miller and various slavering guests.

I listen to Super Scoreboard on Clyde 1. Much better laugh.

[hibbysam]

Preston also said Callum Davidson has never lost a cup tie - he lost one on penalties last year to Dundee United in the league cup groups. They were slavering that much that they never even knew the Aberdeen game had finished.

[Diclonius]

Every single time they've sent a commentary team to whoever Aberdeen are playing and haven't bothered with us.

If we get through and play PAOK they'll probably still cover the Aberdeen game against whatever team they're up against.

Were they? What channel? The dab feed was in the studio as I turned it on to walk to the car. Broadcast finished at 10. 2 weeks back it went after 10 on to ensure it got interviews etc. Guessing big effort for Celtic. Live stream of St J fell into their lap and then minimum for Aberseen and Hibs. With Millar on, edging it towards the Dons for favourites

Haven't listened to it for probably more than a decade now. Used to be essential listening on matchday and part of the routine but it got horrendously bad back then and sounds like it's still as bad, if not worse. It needed a shake up back then and they really should've sorted it by now.

I'll still give 'Off The Ball' a listen if I'm in the car at the time it's on, but I don't go out of my way to listen to that either these days.

[The_Sauz]

The BBC website is very poor when it come's to teams outside Glasgow! For the past 3 day's all they seemed to care about was both old firm team's playing to a full house and what players they were going to sign.
I was hoping they would have all the team news about the Scottish teams that were due to play in Europe this week, but found nothing but small articles the day of the match.
You had to dig deep on the site to get anything about the conference league scores last night

[MartinfaePorty]

The coverage of Scottish Football on the BBC, compared to both the English men's and women's games, is an absolute disgrace. And that's before I start moaning about how my old banger of a car can't get AM, so can't listen to whatever is left of the midweek programme on the drive home! The Scottish Championship should be an exciting, competitive league and it's great that we are getting the odd live game, but how difficult / costly would it be to have a 'Football First' type programme to show highlights of all the games, plus Leagues 1 and 2 (although no Derek Johnstone please!)?

They need to do what sky did and get rid of the old guard. What young kids nowadays know who Wullie Miller is, same with Preston and Ferguson. Jim Spence, another rocket is that Richard Gordon

I wasnt disappointed in the coverage of the Hibs game as I expect nothing from them.

I used to get angry with the muppets on this programme as I was convinced there was an anti-Hibs agenda. I’ve mellowed and have come to the conclusion that they simply just have no interest in Hibs whatsoever, unless,of-course, they have nothing else to report on.

Or if it's something to our disadvantage. I can't quite remember getting the prolonged, fawning treatment like Aberdeen and Hearts get regularly.

A once 'must listen' show has become something that id rather not listen to at all and can't remember when i last did.

Correct - there was no live commentary of the Aberdeen game, just loads of waffle from Willie Miller - the Hibs game barely got a mention. I thought Aberdeen had won the competition the way they were talking about it

[greenlex]

I only caught about ten minutes in my way to work but John Collins was covering the Hibs game and was waxing lyrical. During the ten minutes it was about equal time with Miller covering the Aberdeen game. There was also the start of an interview with the St Johnstone chairman by phone from Turkey. That ten minutes seemed pretty balanced.

The BBC website is poor full stop.

There are six games every week in our top flight, yet the BBC can only be bothered to feature four in its "Things To Watch". It happened all last season, and they're at it again this week. How difficult is it to put together a couple of paragraphs on each game?

[norhfc]

When Gary Lineker gets paid more than the BBC use for covering the whole of Scottish football you just know you are going to get the cheapest of the cheap crap.

I got back to the motor in time for the round up to hear a good 5 mins of John Collins talking about Celtic followed by laddish pish from Willie Miller on discotheques and St Johnstone getting home at half 4.

[Allez Hibs]

Sorry but take the blinkers off, John Collins was full of praise for Hibs and Michael Stewart praising the depth of our squad tonight saying we have greater depth than Aberdeen.

Sportsound coverage is excellent, especially open all mics on a Saturday. Full off personalities. Michael Steward and Leanne Crichton are brilliant on it and very articulate.

[Swedish hibee]

It's my only option for Scottish football and it's gone down drastically the past few years. Jane Lewis constantly gets guests names wrong, and can't believe Chic picks up a wage for the little he contributes.

Agree about both. How Chick has managed to come back from retirement beggars belief. Listened to an older interview he had with arguably the best Scottish player ever Denis Law a few years back absolutely butchered it with his ridiculous awful patter.

[Jones28]

Sportsound has its place in my heart. When it’s good it’s excellent, it’s mostly background noise until something Hibs is mentioned, occasionally it’s ****ing dreadful but I have only once thought about writing to the show to complain: when Ferguson and Dodds were trying to claim that the orange kits Rangers wore were tributes to the Dutch contingent that hadn’t kicked a ball for Rangers for 7/8 years at the time.

I will say that they made longs saturdays on a farm at harvest a lot more bearable.

Totally agree, some of the criticism on here is juvenile and quite frankly pathetic.
