Dave H Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah it's the analysis of the actual match, it was a good 2 minutes about St Mirrens style of play and how it was fairly ineffectual at scoring goals, not once did Stephen Craigan ever once mention saints or how we played. It's not fair simply focussing on one team at the end, it should be even coverage, especially if its agaisnt a feelow diddy. 0-0 Saints v Saints, I am surprised the found highlights! very bad advert for Scottish football. I couldnt care less what coverage is on Sportscene, I find it more useful to watch the other matches, thats the only reason I tune in, to see what the competition is like. Hibs to shade Aberdeen for the drop I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSaint Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hibs to shade Aberdeen for the drop I think.. That is the worrying thing, both have the resources to recover and WILL recover. So not a great situation for Saints when the so called poorer teams are lying above us in the league. Dunfermline and St Midden's good start is not so good for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline will fade as the season progresses....and I have a feeling that Hibs won't recover. Not saying they will defo go down, but they will remain in about the relegation battle all season I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertsSaintee Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Dunfermline will fade as the season progresses....and I have a feeling that Hibs won't recover if Calderwood stays as manager. Not saying they will defo go down, but they will remain in about the relegation battle all season I reckon. Corrected that for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Corrected that for you. Funny, I was going to add unless they get a new manager (and the boost that can sometimes bring - although it didn't when Calderwood arrived) and some decent signings in the next window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al C Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 For years now people have been saying there is no way Aberdeen/Hibs etc will remain in the bottom 6, they are too "big" etc,etc, etc. The fact is they are as poor teams as anybody else. There is no finance there for them to make any major signings and the transfer window also restricts this. It's about the right time now for the media to trot out the annual Aberdeen are in crisis articles, what has happened to this once proud club, Cup Winners Cup, Fergie, yada, yada, ad nauseum.

Hibs were as horse as anyone last season. I was at their pre-season friendly against Sunderland with my Hibee brother in law who's a season ticket holder there. They were utter mince in that game, and he says there's been no change. Table doesn't lie apparently. Same as the Sheep, must be depressing for long time fans.

That Bar Toilet Attendant Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Well last night's Sportscene took the biscuit! Saints secure a fantastic victory to move 4 points clear of Hearts with a game in hand. Top 6 spot confirmed and probably a place in Europe. And what did the Beeb think? Nothing. Not one mention of Saints, all about Hearts?? Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Goran Stanic Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 It is an awful show. I don't know why I am surprised at how unprofessional and uninterested it is in smaller teams. Did you see the quality of the highlights from east end park? Absolutely terrible stuff. Then the montage at the end was just everything from the OF game.

Saline Saint Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Listening to Sportsound on the BBC while driving home post match on Saturday Sandy Clark was gutted at having to report on a Saints win over his darling Jambo's,just went on about how crap a match it was and what Hearts didn't do ie left top players out as apposed to what Saints did do.

dave mc Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sportsound was great on Saturday,when the guy from Bridge of Don had Chick and Tom English really struggling regarding sooking up to ex **** secretary Campbell Ogilvie and the lies about ebt's, made great listening!

Edstar101 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Listening to Sportsound on the BBC while driving home post match on Saturday Sandy Clark was gutted at having to report on a Saints win over his darling Jambo's,just went on about how crap a match it was and what Hearts didn't do ie left top players out as apposed to what Saints did do. That seems to be the norm where Saints are concerned. After the defeat of St Mirren, the talk was all about St Mirren's silky passing from the back and how it didn't quite work that day. I was listening to that blethering idiot Shiels on Saturday going on about how Killie and Motherwell have an affiliation as they are both clubs 'punching above their weight'. This view seems to be held by the media as well. I have two issues with this...surely, if anybody, we are the club that is punching miles above its weight, and doing so by not getting ourself in massive debt, and secondly, if all these teams are punching above their weight, then who isn't exactly.....with the shift in Scottish football, I think that term is used too often. I would love to think that the power in Scottish football is changing....only one Edinburgh side will be mildly successful, Well and the Arabs will continue to perform, the gap to the OF will close and Saints will have another great season next year and establish us as one of the top teams Edited March 26, 2012 by Edstar101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Don`t know what was in the other papers but the mail had a wee bit at the bottom of page about the Hearts game whilst other games got nearly a page each. Most about Saints maybe going to Europe mind you and nothing about Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sportscene is a disgrace.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I said earlier that I generally watch the online highlights of games to avoid the OF bias on the TV, but on this occasion I watched the online highlights and then watched Sportscene anyway, because there was nothing else on. I believe they actually cut the highlights to show LESS of the Saints game than in the 5 minute highlight package online. Unbelievable.
