buster. 5,196 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 - We barely got a mention in yesterdays 40 minute post-match podcast. - I note PQ sanctioned a trip to Salzburg for McLeod and Bonner after no-one being sent to Villareal. ---------------------- McLaughlin leaving PQ should surely mean an end to the ongoing situation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 He's not leaving PQ - or at least, he's still BBC Scotland's man even if he's based elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Just looked it up,.......... Sports News Correspondent at BBC Scotland. That will give him more license to pursue off-field issues and could actually be more problematic for us. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Roberts 246 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Caught some of the first half on BBC scotland MW. They had 30 mins to fill before the bheasts kicked off at St Johnstone. In fairness they actually weren't bad on Rangers after Rapid and appeared to be trying to be complimentary. Prehaps theyve finailly realised Gerrards is building something real? One thing that was clear, they didn't have a clue what was happening at Ibrox. Goal reports were from the live feed text. Its an unbelievable situation. No doubt they mobilised dozens of PQ out to Perth or over to Salzburg but they couldn't cover the biggest match of the weekend. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 6,082 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2018 It's a question of balance. Twenty-four years we have suffered the constant regurgitation of 'Off the Ball'. There is a repetitive sadness in hearing a man in his sixty-eighth year attempting to recall guests, happenings, and stories. DrStu' is a Doyen of the Arts these days,the author of a trilogy on fifty year old soul music. BBC Scotland presents several opportunities each week for DrStu' to promote his wares, and increase his bank balance. He has admitted to pocketing almost fifty grand per annum two years past for presenting Off the Ball. Of course, it's the exposure provided that allows the other earners; that and his broadcast admiration of BBC Scotland Director, Donalda MacKinnon and wanting to be heard being the very epitome of a Bute House toady. He is most protective of his position, and this ensures he will trap continually to face Tam Cowan in the PQ studio. DrStu' never has any problems recalling his preferred prejudices, he hates Rangers, "h-u-ns and typical orange wankers", and the English. These days, he hates a lot more carefully. Tam Cowan put forward the reasons why Gazza was being put forward for entry into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. DrStu' was not convinced, "these days we must be more aware of issues like violence against women". Protecting the reputation of Scottish football is a legitimate view, but is undermined by DrStu's constant support for things Neil Lennon. Two well reported cases several years apart where Lennon threatened the women in his life; texting, 'you will feel pain' and, 'I will kill you' were the highlights of numerous threats. DrStu' promoted Lennon for the national manager's job. He did add that McLeish should be ignored because he had an EBT. Didn't Neil invest in those film companies to avoid tax, and if morality is what keeps DrStu' awake at night; Neil entered into a land purchase with Slab Murphy. Interestingly, the one prominent member of the Scottish football glitterati that has not appeared on, 'On the Ball' is Chris McLaughlin. His presence was not required on Saturday, in terms of balance. Three guests, John Douglas, Eddie Reader, and Paul English. All Sellik supporters, including another sixty-seven year old, Hugh MacDonald on during the evening edition. Paul English is a PQ staffer, he had his centenary Sellik top with him, in the studio. Tam asked if he wore it during his interview to secure his BBC Scotland post? BigStu' asked if he had scared Kenny McIntyre with it? Further, he explained the panel thus, "it's a balance thing, after Kenny McIntyre had Barry Ferguson and Alex Rae on". Rae has worked for Radio Clyde since the start of the season and Ferguson last appeared last year, before announcing bankruptcy. See how DrStu' isolated the last Rangers supporter staffer in Beeb Scotland's sports? DrStu' loves a cleansing, right down to the Warren Cummings accent test. BBC Scotland, for DrStu' et al, it's a Bank Balance thing! Sunday was as expected. Big Dick, Paul Hartley, Peter Houston, Paul Mitchell, and Chris McLaughlin; all at McDairmid Park furra visit of ra Sellik. The ever excitable Rob McLean was across events at Ibrox. It started badly for Rob, and got worse. Chris intervened to interview Brenda, because as stated, "I don't like to keep Brendan waiting". The next couple of hours saw Rob's part condensed to a few lines(teams, half time and full time reports at Ibrox). The Sellik game concluded and Tommy Wright was interviewed several minutes later. Just before the football coverage finished, Chris interviewed Brenda again and it was announced that it was his last Sportsound participation. Apparently, Brenda was happy to be kept waiting? The Beeb mantra over the weekend by all the usual suspects was, 'Hearts could be eleven points ahead of Rangers by five O'Clock on Sunday". After Five we were told Hearts remained top of the SPFL, mouth watering anticipation of Sellik vs Hibs was articulated, Aberdeen were finding form, and Livi' continued to surprise. How many points Rangers were behind Hearts, is like the word, 'coefficient'; lost in the ether of broadcast. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSocksRedTops 3,752 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I see our victory over league leaders Hearts was the 14th story on the BBC Scottish football page today. It was superseded by stories about Derek McInnes reading kids books and the departure of the Dumbarton manager. The first article about our game focuses on a video of a Hearts player performing a nutmeg 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
