Scott7 5,156 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I listened to the Sportsound commentary yesterday. I don’t know why bbc don’t employ commentators instead of Squeallum McLeod. He told me next to nothing about the game but managed to mention Aberdeen twenty to thirty times. I suppose he was a bit hyper after his team’s giant-killing victory over Bonnyrigg Rose in the afternoon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people complain about female commentators, I presume they're including Liam McLeod because the annoying wee git speaks at a higher pitch than most women do. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 26th of foot 5,829 Posted February 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 13 "Penalty to Rangers"? As of today 13th Feb'24 - 25 games have been played in the Scottish Premiership and the penalty/red card stats are thus : Sellik have been awarded 12 penalties, conceded nil and, received 1 red card. Rangers have been awarded 9 penalties, conceded 1 and, received 4 red cards. The much vaunted Masonic Conspiracy that fail failed to halt Sellik's quadruple Treble appears to be operating much in the same vein. However, the Scottish establishment triumvirate of the Scottish Government, BBC Scotland and, ra Sellik continually need a grouping to blame and be the recipient of the collective pointed finger when the facts get in the way of their preferred narrative. Rangers and Rangers supporters are necessary, so many mortgages and life styles depend upon the club. Small independent countries receive regular call outs from the Gang Hut, it is half term and the First Minister and his wife, Nadia are off to Qatar whereas RAB Cosgrove descends upon Sri Lanka. Burgeoning property portfolios aside, these brave, bold lands are ripe with opportunity. Humza can press his international credentials whilst meeting the Hamas leadership. At least he is consistent, it is a lot like being an MSP for Pollok whilst residing in Broughty Ferry. The concerns for the folks in Gaza are uppermost from a long, long away. RAB lionised Sri Lanka continually then, a corruption inspired meltdown occurred. Remember ordinary Sri Lankans were trashing the President's home whilst swimming in his pool? RAB maintains radio silence on the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka these days. It is a bit like ra Sellik, this last week we have had two BIG stories involving both the First Minister, Humza Yousaf and his Health Secretary, Michael Matheson. Humza stated if he was not involved in politics, "I would be Chairman of Celtic". As if Peter would let him? Michael resigned his position eventually because he attempted to claim mobile roaming charges(£11k) incurred in Morocco whilst viewing his beloved Sellik, as a legitimate expense. It is the very epitome of establishment, two Sellik related inconvenient stories and the Gang Hut just switched off the amplifier. Once again, the national broadcaster abdicated it's responsibilities. Concurrently, Tam the Token ran a number of gags where Rangers players and Rangers supporters were the punch lines. Scotland's failure to defeat France in Saturday's rugby union match at Murrayfield was a VAR(TMO) travesty, "ah could not believe it, after five minutes they could not award a try then ah realised Connor Goldson was involved in that pile on". The national rugby side lose to France and it is deemed more acceptable when you blame Rangers. The comfort of the Gang Hut supersedes all, place a Rangers player into another sport, in another stadium with a different shaped ball and it runs more interference on a Government minister attempting to steal eleven grand due to his obsession in watching Sellik. Penalty to Rangers will run and run because it means Rangers and Rangers supporters are paying the penalty. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 5,829 Posted February 20 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20 Nein to the Nine. It was launched five years past and allocated an annual budget of £32 million. BBC Scotland's new satellite channel arrived with considerable fanfare and it's flagship news - current affairs show was 'the Nine'. One hour each evening between nine and ten O'Clock between Monday and Thursday. On weekends the Nine became, 'the Seven' and held on to one hour of broadcasting time on each evening between Friday and Sunday. PQ described the Nine as, "a world class programme combining international, UK and, Scottish news with the needs of a Scottish audience". Instead, the Licenses Fee payers received a five year flowing trough in which the usual suspects dipped their hungry snouts. Producers, Directors, Researchers, ............... and, Presenters got to indulge in their favourite topics; Scottish and Irish nationalism plus, a regular dollop of matters Sellik. Amazing really, they could squeeze in such obsessions whilst worshipping Nicola. In excess of 250 daily live briefings from the Former First Minister during Covid Lockdowns and PQ endorsed and broadcast that several minute fawning mush of Primary school children thanking Nicola for keeping them safe. Nothing from the Care Homes. It was a winning formulae, in a country with a population nearing six million, 'the Nine' attracted less than 1,700 viewers on occasion, 'the Seven' plumbed new lows with less than 200. It does NOT even amount to 0.1% of the population. Just another PQ scam, with the likes of RAB Cosgrove and his production company living high on the hog whilst feeding us bon mots on Twinning's Tea and Irish players named Cosgrove playing for Perth Harp in the 19th century. No wonder a breathless RAB in his 72nd year continues to chase up the PQ stairs after Producers. Today, PQ announced the cancellation of the Nine, the Seven and, the Edit. Airmiles Angus Robertson, the Scottish Government's Cultural Secretary criticised the decision to axe the show, claiming it ran counter with the growing success of Scottish TV. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable BBC Scotland managed to waste £160m (5years x £32m) on a programme watched by so few. This is taxpayers and licence fee payers money so they knew they could get away with it. A privately owned broadcaster would have binned the show long ago or tried to make changes to it to try and improve its ratings. But not BBC Scotland. Providing jobs and jollies for the usual suspects The sooner the licence fee is binned and they need to get their revenue in the real world the better. Dross like NINE will get binned earlier or won’t even get started.And the hangers-on will need to find real employment elsewhere 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
