Rumour Mill at One.

 

The BBC has sacked Jermaine Jenas because he sent inappropriate text messages to a fellow Auntie employee. Jenas admits the charge and accepts the chastisement. 

 

The rumour mill turns and apparently the specifics of inappropriate behaviour centre on a photograph of a dismembered member, a study in tumescence, a large veiny horror or definitively, the BIG Dick.

 

There may be children viewing the forum thus I will refrain from posting said photograph of BBC Scotland's Richard Gordon.

It's a Mystery.

 

A wee timeline will help here.

 

1. February'23 -Stuart Kettlewell succeeds Steve Hammell as Motherwell Gaffer.

2. February'23 - Richard Foster appointed Chief of Coaching at Motherwell.

3. 18th March'23 - Motherwell 2 Rangers 4 at Fir Park.

4. evening of 18th March'23 - Richard Foster is a pundit on BBC Scotland's Sportscene. He complains long and bitterly about two decisions from that afternoon's game. Slattery should not have been the subject of a second yellow card on the 76th minute and Todd Cantwell's goal in the 62nd minute should not have stood because Sakala was offside in the build up. Both decisions were subject to VAR, Slattery backhanded Cantwell during the tackle and the lines were drawn proving Sakala was in line with the last Well' defender. Foster suggested the VAR lines were crooked in favour of the Rangers player.

5. Sunday afternoon 19th March'23 - Well' Gaffer, Stuart Kettlewell appeared on BBC Scotland's Sportsound and was led by Host, Richard Gordon in accepting, "Todd Cantwell cheated and hoodwinked the Referee". Further, Kettlewell demanded an explanation from the SFA's Ref' supremo.

6. 23rd March'23 - Kettlewell has said meeting and accepts both Refereeing decisions were correct.

7. 17th August'24 - Well's Chief of Coaching, Richard Foster is doing co-commentary duties for BBC Scotland's coverage of the Rangers v St Johnstone League Cup tie at Hampden. He loses his discipline over Dessers goal, claims it should not stand and rubbishes the VAR explanation which proves the timing of the Ref's whistle.

8. 24th August'24 - Richard Foster appears on BBC Scotland's Sportsound to relate he now accepts the Refereeing decision to allow Dessers goal and the VAR explanation.

9. 26th August'24 - the SFA charge Richard Foster(remember, he is 'Well's Chief of Coaching) with contravening Disciplinary Rule 77.

10. Hearing set for 11th September'24.

 

Exhausting isn't it? 

 

Richard Foster's big error was threefold. He claimed Dessers fouled the Saints defender, he didn't. He claimed the Ref' blew his whistle for the supposed foul, he didn't. He rubbished the VAR explanation of the Ref's whistle being blown  after the ball hit the net, "lies, it's a lie, unless he puts the whistle to his mouth for no reason". Foster's regular BBC Scotland colleague, Michael Stewart was reading from the same script on Premier Sports live coverage of the game, made the same claims. He is not being charged because he has no official designation at a Scottish club but, he hates Rangers just as much as Rangers. I am positive there must be a connecting reason?

 

This thread is testament to the long running continuing problem the national broadcaster has with both Rangers and Rangers supporters. In the last few months, PQ has issued three apologies on matters Rangers. This adds to the dozens of sorries over the last twenty-odd years. It does NOT happen with any other club. Why do senior Producers at PQ allow, encourage and facilitate incidents such as performed by Foster? Here is the real rub, both broadcast and print media have highlighted and reported the SFA's charging of Foster apart from one, BBC Scotland. It has been two days since the charge and BBC Scotland has made no reference to something it facilitates on a regular basis.

 

Truly, it's a mystery?

Teams still in the tunnel when McLeod began to squeal his delight about who’s going to catch celtic. Then the Hibs’ SC win before kickoff and Gray’s goal just after. Q

Haley Valentine?

 

Today, PQ has announced the appointment of Haley Valentine as Director of BBC Scotland. She takes over from the departing Steve Carson in November'24.

 

Ms Valentine is a graduate of Edinburgh University, began at the BBC in 1996 and, is described as an experienced journalist. She is leaving her current position as Head of BBC Midlands to return to PQ because she was the launch Editor of the now defunct BBC Scotland's flagship news and current affairs show, 'the Nine'.

 

Any Gersnetters know anything further reference Haley Valentine?

Career: Started her career in Journalism working in Dundee then transferred her skills to commercial radio in Edinburgh.

Also, the Nats don't like her, as they think she was complicit in what they perceived as broadcasting bias during their failed referendum.

Reference Liam 'the Squeal' McLeod.

 

Tonight at the Westfalenstadion it is the Champions League match day 2 fixture between Dortmund and ra Sellik. At half time, the score was Dortmund 5 Sellik 1 and Liam had lost his mojo. He ran through the scorers and timings of the goals then, ended with the most lame :

 

"Dortmund's XG is only 2.12".
