Scotland pissed on daily at WM and in the media.. Hence they could not give a toss. We’ll agree to disagree on that one. It comes down to what you’re prepared to accept as an individual so keep watching if that’s what you’d prefer to do. Just don’t expect the bbc to change.

Ok fair enough, everyone knows we are not quite good enough to qualify for tournaments at the moment. But how on earth is it acceptable to show all matches from an English-afied/English perspective at the World Cup in Scotland? Every 2 years it's the same: folk come into work complaining about commentators, or you'll discuss it with your mates in the pub or with relatives or in the street when you bump into someone you know. This happens all over the country. I'm effing sick to the back teeth of it. How is this healthy? This ongoing arrogance of of the BBC/itv or the folk that make these decisions is an absolute joke. Can you imagine viewers England having to have the feed from another country. Just wouldn't happen. What is so wrong with sportscene or an stv production showing all the games with not the same English bias pundits? It's mental really. Call me delusional but Im convinced this would help in some way to change the mindset of this country in its obsession with all things "hating" England. The fact that so many are oblivious to the issue yet still come complain about it just makes all the more worse. I write about boxing but before the World Cup started I asked my editor if he would run some World Cup content on the site. Much to my surprise he said yes so I have been compiling the odd article during the tournament. My piece I wrote yesterday highlights this very topic. It is the Colombia vs. England section towards the bottom of the article if anyone is interested. http://nyfights.com/newsworthy/the-ot-world-cup-writing-volume-4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Out of interest how are England games covered in the Republic of Ireland. Do they just watch them on BBC or ITV like the rest of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Folk say don't watch it or mute it. The issue is we don't at the very least have the option to view from our own country's perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasting more money on “experts” and commentators seems like an unnecessary expense for something that’s ultimately not that important.

They have plenty of foreign pundits too - Bilic, Keane, O'Neill, Fabregas etc over there. I'd expect McCoist etc to be exactly the same if we were there.

TDYER63 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Its interesting that people should interpret being unhappy with a service that is not promoting the game in hand as ragin that England are doing well. Interesting. But complete and utter horse shit nonetheless. Scotland are the only team that drives any strong emotion in me, of course if I wasnt such a weirdo I would have a domestic team to get excited about 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) “If you’re expecting reasonable non biased analysis, forget it!!!” Remember that? And we all naturally loved it. I know it’s shite but seeing the video of Wright etc celebrating, as much as it stings these guys annoying as they are, are just england fans when the cameras are turned off, sure they could try and be a more professional but they’ll be the first to put the boot in when England do go out.

The pundits nationality isn't the problem per se, it's the coverage where by almost everything is geared towards English bias. The pundits, regardless of nationality will be paid to discuss and promote all things England as that is what the content is based on. A sportscene/stv production for every match surely would be correct way to broadcast the World Cup in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcs Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) If you were English you would be lovin all the hype about England during the games, these guys are all there for 1 reason to entertain the English as they’re in the World Cup, with all this 3 lions we’ll win it this time shite, we’ve been hearing it for years, as said before it just makes it all the sweeter watching them squirm after the team fall on their arse as they inevitably will, although the route has been made a lot easier this year by the big teams not playin anywhere near there potential/reputation , let’s not forget we almost beat England at hampden I hope nobody takes this the wrong way but does that sound like the team who will be world champions I don’t think so n don’t think I forgot about 67 at Wembley difference being we had better players then Edited July 5, 2018 by jcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
