bladesman Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sadly this is a fact of life..... The powers that be in most of the media can't see past the ugly sisters for news..... Don't let it worry you.... we're top of the league! Did anyone else notice the SPL headline on SKY SPORTS NEWS last night around mid evening,- "Celts go 2nd after win at Dons" Did we have a game yesterday ?

Rickoza Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 In 1994-95, we lost 1-2, a 73rd minute injury time to Ferguson at Ibrox, then went unbeaten until Aberdeen won 1-0 at a rainsoaked Fir Park in December. Discounting an extra-time league cup defeat at home to Aidire, and the two Dortmund defeats, that was 16 league games unbeaten. Went kinda pear-shaped thereafter, including taking the lead at soon-to-be-relegated Dundee United and losing 1-6, but we still finished second. I recall John Lambie saying after we'd destroyed Partick in a first-half rout at Fir Park that "no team would've survived against Motherwell in that mood" or words to that effect. Was a great first- half to a season that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that hat Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Did anyone else notice the SPL headline on SKY SPORTS NEWS last night around mid evening,- "Celts go 2nd after win at Dons" Did we have a game yesterday ? By contrast BBC News reported Celtic top of the league, 1 point clear of Dundee Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 By contrast BBC News reported Celtic top of the league, 1 point clear of Dundee Utd. Dependant on when the story was written, it could have been accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Wellfan 2k7 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The Meddia are very ignorant towards ALL SPL teams with the eclusion of the old firm. They had hearts as winning yesterday, celtic Top of the league, murphy's goal as rounding the keeper and still, it's an injury at celtic the makes all the headlines.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Was gonna start another thread but might as well ask here.... whats the most games we've played into a season and been top of the league? I seem to recall a game against Rangers at Fir Park in the late 80s when Bobby Russell scored in a 1-0 win which sent us top. I have a feeling this was around October time.

daver Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Not seen it in a long time but they used to cover one game (usually Sunday TV game) at the back and remainder in central football pull-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerWoodsMFC Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 To be fair to Sky Sports, the commentator did state during the Aberdeen v Celtic game that "if Celtic won they would go top but that could all change when Hearts play Motherwell later on today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcalf Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 To be fair to Sky Sports, the commentator did state during the Aberdeen v Celtic game that "if Celtic won they would go top but that could all change when Hearts play Motherwell later on today" To be fair to everyone you would have to say if their own reporter said that then the same information should have been passed to the diddy who types up the headlines.

rambunctious Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The 6 o'clock BBC news also reported that "Motherwell versus Hearts finished goalless". Poor day from the press all round, where's Murdoch when you need him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEdge Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 By contrast BBC News reported Celtic top of the league, 1 point clear of Dundee Utd. Dependant on when the story was written, it could have been accurate. I was watching BBC News 24 last night around 9/9:30 and in their sports section they twice mentioned that Celtic were top of the SPL. They mentioned we'd won 1-0, so at least they got that right. On BBC Radio Scotland yesterday Chic Young gave the team news - One change for Motherwell from last week with Saunders in for Hutchinson. The so called Scottish football expert didn't realise we actually had two changes. Quality misreporting from the BBC. Unsurprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
