Pacific Quay Musings?

[compo 7,037]

I see BBC football commentators have been told not to use the words , Blackballed or to say Nitty gritty or sold down the river something to do about upsetting some people's,  the world is going stark raving mad.

I see Celtc FC employee and Scottish Nationalist Michael Stewart was on Sportscene on Saturday evening.  He stated Gerrard's comment about Morelos being the victim of double standards was 'daft' and the Rangers should 'let it go'.

 

Why is a partisan, bitter yahoo mouthpiece, like Stewart, paid to spout shite like this by a publicly funded broadcaster?  

 

I'd advise Bears to stop paying the licence fee - we're being charged to fund our haters.

The Compliance Officer, Claire Whyte does what Peter tells her.

 

Sellik TV’s, Michael Stewart says what Peter tells him.

 

On Saturday at Ibrox, Dundee United’s, Ryan Edwards went into a challenge with Morelos, a straight leg above the knee, a flat boot impact leaving a puncture wound the size of a ten pence coin. The Referee, Kevin Clancy did not award a foul, only blew his whistle after Morelos collapsed in distress. The Colombian was stretchered off the pitch and Clancy re-started with a drop ball. After match comments by Gerrard inquired if Morelos had made a similar challenge, would the referee have issued a red card?

 

BBC Scotland’s Sportscene broadcast on Saturday evening, hosted by Dandy Don, Jonathon Sutherland, and comment provided by Sellik TV’s, Michael Stewart and formerScots international, Chris Iwelumo. After highlights of the game at Ibrox, Sutherland brings the discussion around to the unpunished high tackle by Edwards. Sellik TV’s faithful shill begins, “ah’ve looked at it so many times, sometimes I think it’s not malicious, other times I think Edwards is fortunate, very fortunate. If the referee gets a clear look at it, but he’s blinded by Butcher and Roofe”.

 

The Presenter adds, “Steven Gerrard is quoted as saying he would be very interested in the official’s decision if the shoe had been on the other foot”? Michael Stewart waves his hands dismissively and snarls, “Jonathon, honestly I am sick of it, sick and tired of comments like that to be perfectly honest. You know, look Rangers as a club have come out on a number of occasions saying they cannot defend Morelos, so you can’t always be the victim whilst saying you cannot defend him anymore. Enough of this, we have seen on a number of times where Morelos has got off with things, other times he hasn’t, just let it go,it was a bad tackle”.

 

Born and bred Coatbridge Sellik man, Chris Iwelumo then has his say, “for me, it’s a red card. It’s taken a couple of looks, it’s a wreck less challenge”. Then, Iwelumo turns to Mikes and pointedly delivers, “On the back of that tackle, a manager has got to come out and protect his players, he has to come out if Morelos is being victimised. For me, it’s shocking”. Stewart’s face was a picture, looking off into mid distance with his hands crossed.

 

On Sunday’s Sportsound, Jane Lewis interviewed Neil McCann and attempted twice to draw him on Michael Stewart’s comments. Neil refused to be drawn, but was in no doubt the tackle was a red card and wondered why Compliance Officer intervention was not being mentioned?

 

I wonder if Stewart is beginning to isolate himself with some at PQ towers?

[Dragosani 69]

Stewart is trying so hard to ingrain himself with the Celtic fans, that's it's now become quite embarrassing. He literally cannot bring himself to say anything that might be seen as neutral, let alone positive about Rangers in fear he might damage his standing with them.

 I think he knows this is his only shot of a career in journalism now.  

He knows that the rest of Scotland see him as a bit of a joke and fud now.

Last evening(Wednesday), was Champions League third round qualifiers’ night. PQ was broadcasting across the nation, the Blarney Bhoys(Pat and Tom) were in place, lips pressed to the microphones. Cue Big Dick’ sonorous voice swooning at the first bars of Britten’s rip-off of Handel’s Zadok the Priest, ‘the hairs on the back of my neck are standing’. A welcome to ra Stade de Gadd ensues and the Gang Hut stand, arms wrapped around each other, and deliver an emotional rendition of a song stolen from Liverpool FC, ‘you’ll never walk alone’.

 

Big Dick hands over to Liam, and we are the recipients of more sh1te about a stadium built to purposefully house CL games. The Scottish standard is raised, ra Sellik are proudly carrying it onwards and upwards in Europe, improving the national coefficient. Homage is paid to Peter the Visionary, .........., etc.

 

The reality was David Currie, hosting the Blarney Bhoys in Paisley for a re-arranged league fixture. Apparently, ra Sellikwere kno caked out of the CL on their own midden some weeks past, before the nights got dark? Don’t worry, it was the same push, Sellik won, were awarded only the one penalty, and no one took Neil on reference his weekend demand for Sellik fans to be allowed back into games because Kansas City had played in front of 18,000 the night before.

 

Dreams can come true .....

Great post 26th!

 

Oh by god, PQ on line not letting up! "leap frog Hibs into 2nd place", "will be top on Saturday with victory over Livingston" . By Christ, they miss no opportunity to sell that club, even after a scraped victory over a Covid stricken team. However, Lurgan Plopp admits the absence  of the soap dodgers is having a "detrimental effect".

 

 As we are showing no sign of that, here's hoping Wee Nippy keeps everything locked down tight until after our visit to ra Scum Hut!

“from the first whistle to the last”, AGAIN!

 

”BBC Scotland is now a public dis-service broadcaster” - Angus Robertson.

 

”BBC Scotland is a public service broadcaster” - Nicola Sturgeon.

 

”Pensioners rely on public service broadcasting, most have no access to live streaming” - John Swinney.

 

”what do you think of the BBC’s decision to stop broadcasting the First Minister’s Covid briefings”? - Stuart Cosgrove’s first question to Scottish Government’s National Clinical Director, Jason Leitch last Saturday.

 

Above are the reactions from the great and the good to the news that the national broadcaster was considering curtailing live coverage of the First Minister’s daily outpourings on Covid 19. Concern was expressed for pensioners, the long term sick, those living in Scotland’s many remote parts, ....... etc. BBC Scotland is essential to the country’s homogeneity.

 

Thursday evening was Europa Cup qualifiers night, Scotland had three clubs playing. Rangers were in Gibraltar, taking on ra Sellik’s conquerors, Lincoln Red Imps, kicking off at 16.00 hrs. Aberdeen traveled to Norway to face Viking and Motherwell crossedthe Irish Sea to take on Colraine; both games starting at 19.30 hrs.

 

PQ’s coverage began at 18.00 hrs, Big Dick introduced Al Lamont who was sat next to him in the studio and invited him to give a report on Rangers 5-0 victory on the rock. Lamont had watched the game on a monitor, viewing either Premier Sports or Rangers TV. His report was stilted, lasted a few minutes, including questions from Big Dick. Basically, it was routine For Rangers and the only concern was Roofe’s injury.

 

During the match, ie the previous two hours, PQ broadcast, ‘Drivetime’ - the station’s normal two hour evening news programme. There were two Sport Desks during the show and the current score was given on each occasion. Combined with Al Lamont’s post match report, that was the extent of BBC Scotland’s coverage of Rangers visit to Gibraltar. “From the first whistle till the last”, SERIOUSLY?

From six until ten O’Clock, Big Dick was breathless with excitement as fellow Dandy Don, Liam McLeod commentated live from Stavanger. James McFadden was live with updates from Colraine, Billy Dodds sat beside Big Dick in the studio and he whooped with delight as the Scottish standard was hoisted higher and higher by the Dons and ‘Well. The Scottish co-efficient was mentioned and discussed.

 

Pensioners, the long term sick, those living in remote areas, ...... etc are all important folks, if interference is being run on there collective listening to the First Minister’s live Covid briefings five days a week. The very minute those same folks, who are all paying their BBC license fees, are re-categorised as, “h-u-ns and typical orange wankers” they are relegated to 15 second burst transmissions during an evening news show.

 

The extent of preferred prejudice within the a Gang Hut was under pinned last Saturday by PQ sending both Cosgrove and Cowan to Fir Park to cover the Motherwell- St Johnstone game for the open mikes segment of the programme. This follows Cowan accompanying Preston to Fir Park for the ‘Well - Glentoran match. We are all desperate to view live football, but really it’s only those and such as those within the PQ Gang Hut that receive the privilege of from the first whistle to the last.

Sportsound on BBC  Radio Scotland is an Abertic Production.

 

Tonight, four Scottish clubs participate in the Europa Cup qualifiers. Sportsound is providing live commentary on ra Sellik game in Riga, and further live commentary on Aberdeen’s visit to Lisbon. Motherwell in Israel and Rangers visit to Holland are reduced to updates.

 

Aberdeen have played two Europa Cup games so far, at home to a Faroe Isles club, and away To Viking in Norway. Both games received live commentary. Ra Sellik have played two games also, a defeat of the Icelanders at home, and a humiliation at the hands of Ferencvaros in the CL qualifier at ra Stade de Gadd. Again, both games covered live by the Blarney Bhoys. By tonight all three games played by both Aberdeen and ra Sellik(six in total) all covered by live commentary.

 

Motherwell’ two games against Northern Ireland Opposition were covered live,I suspect their third game in Israel is too far, and the PQ Palestine Solidarity Action will have been pushing boycott? Rangers one match in Gibraltar amounted to Al Lamont watching Rangers TV and a two minute report. It will be the same this evening, unless Willem win.

 

BBC Scotland, run for Aberdeen and RaSellik supporters by Aberdeen and Sellik supporters.
