Scotsport - The Best Of Scottish Football....NOT!

Rant No. 2

Right, just finished watching the All-Singing All-Dancing All-New Scotsport with its exclusive highlights package of the new SPL season.......

And Yea Verily I denounce it as utter shite.....

Why for all the presenters? What do they need 3 of them for? All I want to see is the football, not 40 minutes of presenters and analists (spelling correct) talking about the games, interviews with ex-Celtic players, pre-scripted opinions of 'fans' in the studio (with them reading the script off of idiot-boards) or stupid 'testing of referees whistles' or 'keepie-uppy-keepers' items.

They spent less than 20 minutes on the highlights of 6 games!

Whatever happened to the old fashioned format where they showed extensive highlights of the 'Game of the week' followed by brief clip-packages of the rest of the games?

Ha ha, they even read out an email from a member of the public, who wondered if Scotsport would be solely concentrating on Celtic and Rangers. Jim Delacunt (spelling correct) replied emphatically in the negative. Cut to next item - a competition to win Henrik Larsson's new Barca shirt!

If it wasn't so bad it'd be good....

Tell me, who decides the format of these programmes? And more importantly, how come they never asked me?
